My new man is 1 month 3 days old..
Probably around the time Malcolm was born. Things just got busy.
I am currently consumed with being mommy and finding a new job so i dont have to return to my old one. T-minus 1 month and counting.
I had an interview for a job today. its closer to home and a much more casual work environment but...
The company is WAY too small, I'm overqualified and they cant afford me. i decided all of this about 15 minutes into the meeting. I spent the drive home trying to decide if I had to choose between accepting a position there and returning to my old job-- which would be the lesser of two evils?
Im still undecided.
I have another interview on wednesday for a job I REALLY want. When i talked to the recruiter it became clear to me why my mom always told me never to burn professional bridges. Well a director I used to work for at my current gig ( who happened to have been laid off in december) highly reccommends me for the position at this company where he is now gainfully employed in yet another position of upper management. i wont go into how he once gave me a mediocre review.
I interview with him and 5 other people Wednesday afternoon. Im a little put off by the whole 6-person panel interview. I really hope its 1-2 ppl at a time. Either way todays flop meeting was good practice since I havent done this whole shuckin-n-jiving thing in a while. Everytime I walk into a strange reception area toting my leather portfolio stuffed with freshly printed resumes and copies of mapquest directions I feel like tapdancing .
"Yessum boss-- I'll work real hard for 5-10K mo'! "
Anyway Im praying they make me an offer .
------------------------------
Im other news...
I need a new car BAD.
Dh seems to be softening on the subject. He went from HELL NO to " it is REALLY hard to get the bug in the trunk of the TL"
Ehh well. I really want him to take my car and let my trade the exploder for a new and shiney cross over type ride.
I'll keep working on him.
On the homefront..
ive been getting estimates on a deck/patio. I really want to do a memorial day dedication/chritianing for Mal followed by a casual reception at the house. NEED DECK BAD. Im set on stamped concrete. We got some good quotes today. I hope J will get the lead out soon.
Im looking for something like this ( but scaled down) that steps down from the sunroom doors.
This months project is to paint the basement. I think itll take me about 3 days if Mal will let me do 2-3 walls per day. Problem is I cant decide on a color. I really have NO direction when it comes to the basement. I need some inspiration.

lastly i have some updated pics of my sweetie.
