Job chaos!
A couple of posts ago, I mentioned I had an interview that I was really nervous about. Well, I was right to be nervous. I totally failed at that one. Last Tuesday, I got a call before 8am, asking me to go to an interview at 3pm that day. I literally jumped out of bed with nerves, then attended he best interview I've had in a long time. The managers ( Read more... ) -
Ridiculous
I think I've used the word "ridiculous" more in the last few days than I have in my lifetime ( Read more... ) -
Birthday fun and job interview
In the time since I last posted, I've added a year to my age. My boyfriend surprised me with a trip to Victoria, BC to Butchart Gardens. It happened to be one of the hottest days of the year there the day we went, so we were sweltering, but still managed to enjoy the day. I was more tired than I ever remember being ( Read more... ) -
Glassworks :)
Well, we picked up our blown glass today. Mine turned out pretty well. The black, blue, and yellow one looks much cooler in person- it's actually ribbons of color twisting around each other, looking like they're floating.

Good times
Now that the majority of the fireworks have been lit and the booths are closing down, it's been pretty peaceful around here. I spent part of yesterday listening to the rain tapping on the leaves outside while the birds happily bathed in the drops and ate the seeds I put out for them. Of course, my cat just wanted me to let her out to kill a couple ( Read more... ) -
July 4th
Call me a party pooper, but I really don't like 4th of July fireworks. They're extremely loud, unbelievably expensive, they cause smoke to cover a beautiful starry sky, and they inevitably go off for a week before and at least 2 weeks after the holiday! Since my dog is scared of anything louder than a whisper, that really sucks. ;p Put your money ( Read more... ) -
H-O-T!
Temperatures getting up to 90 degrees in a place where many people have no A/C is just wrong. I'm laying in front of 2 fans, still sweating like crazy..and it's almost 11:30pm! I'm glad I gave my dog a haircut today, though. We probably would've found him shriveled up like a dehydrated prune by morning ( Read more... ) -
Day One
Today is Day One of both my boyfriend and me being unemployed. It's pretty much what I expected. We slept in late, gave some attention to our animals while enjoying breakfast, then he headed directly to his computer and I'm in my chair in the living room with my iPad ( Read more... ) -
Life's little ups and big downs
So I'm unemployed. Again. It's been 6 months this time and I haven't gotten a single phone call in response to my resume ( Read more... ) -
Awake
I'm laying in bed and, at the moment, I am thinking of friends. Or, at least, people I've thought of as friends over the years. I'm wondering what happened to some, glad to be away from others, and for the rest, I'm pondering why it is that they could seem like extremely close friends one day, then completely disappear from my life without so much ( Read more... )
