Lucy Ricardo is alive!

Ok, it's not really Lucy, but gosh my hair is RED now! This is what happens when you go shopping for hair color with your gorgeous, naturally red-headed daughter! There is no way to have her color! I will have to color over this, but I just needed to document so I won't forget that I can't be a natural looking red-head! Back to Wal-Mart for me...

Interview tomorrow!

Got a call to interview with Protective Life Corp tomorrow morning at 9:30. I hope it works out that we like each other. I'm so tired of looking. Looking for work has been more than a full time job and so frustrating! As Christa would say - maybe I'll get a Thanksgiving miracle! Whoot whoot!

UPDATE - Interview went well. They are looking to hire someone in January. They will get back with me next week to let me know what the next step will be.

Ab and I went to see Twilight yesterday afternoon. It was good, but didn't seem as intense as the book. I was disappointed in the heavy white make-up that Carlisle and Jasper wore. It was fun though and I'd probably go see it again, just because. The best part was when I had to break for the restroom. I came back and couldn't find where I was sitting before!!! It was hilarious! I couldn't see a thing - only shapes of people staring at me! I knew somewhere Abby was laughing her head off at me! I finally just sat to the side and some nice young man came and escorted me to my correct seat! That just proves that I should be eligible for a senior discount! Gotta love old people - they are so funny.

tomorrow I'm fully severed!

tomorrow will be my final severance payment from DHC. YIKES! i'm still applying for everything, but no luck yet. when i do finally get back to work, i'm going to be really tired! i'm like a baby with my days and nights mixed up! i think i'm driving the hubs crazy with the hours that i'm keeping. i'm not sleeping any during the day, but i seem to be able to stay up really late. i'm saying, really late... even the dogs are begging me to get some normal hours!

the hubs is flying to one of my fav cities today :(. i so wish i could have gone to chicago with him!!! i know it's freezing there, but i just love wandering in and out of the stores. we keep saying that we will go back someday during the spring or fall when the weather is nice. it's just a great city with LOTS to see and do.

i'm excited that Twilight is so close! i don't think i'll be going to the midnight show, but i'll definately be seeing it before the weekend is over. ahhhhh - Edward and Bella.....

i've set up shop on Etsy now. i hope to get the rest of my "bazaar" items posted today. some of my peeps are tired of checking back and only seeing 5 things!

got to take GA back to the vet today... poor pup can't seem to get well. i hope it's not something serious!!! i don't want any more trauma!

Sushi Bug


We miss our little Sushi! We have been a 3 dog family for so long it seems strange and boring with just the 2. I've made a little slide show of Sushi on the right. She was such a sweet doggy - always a puppy at heart.

Thanks for the reminder!

Still no job. I look every day on the "www", but see the same things that are posted by recruiting companies as "eye candy". (They don't really have those jobs available, but just want to draw you in so they can help you...) I have two more severance checks coming and then it's just me and unemployment checks. I'm not really a worrier until I feel threatened. I will wait and fall apart when I don't have money to pay bills.


I'm on a mailing list for a local scrapbook store called The Scrapbook Princess (http://thescrapbookprincess.blogspot.com/ ). Paulette always begins her Newsletter with a scripture quote. Thank you for reminding me not to worry, Paulette! Y'all go visit her store. It's small, but totally PACKED with scrapping goodness!!! I have a 50% off coupon - email me if you'd like one.


"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink;
or about your body, what you will wear.
Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,
and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not much more valuable than they?
Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"
--Matthew 6:25-27


Speaking of worrying - DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TODAY!!!
