The days immediately following the wedding were filled with lots and lots of packing up the Flintstone Trail furniture, unpacking more of my stuff at the condo, trying to find homes for all of the wonderful gifts we received at the wedding and getting ready for our trip to Europe.  (There was also some port wine consumed in there...)  By the time ( Read more... )

I'm married!

Let's go back a bit so that I can recall all of the excitement of the last 4 weeks, shall we?

- The Week Before -

I took Mom out for a belated Mother's Day facial at Scandal's the week of the wedding, which ended up costing half of regular price since they canceled our first appointment when my lady just didn't show up to work. Gotta ( Read more... )

I cannot even believe that one week from tomorrow is my wedding day. Holy crap, this year has gone by quickly! Granted, day-after-day of counting down to June 20 has not appeared to go speedily by, but when I drive passed the World's Fair Pavilion as I cut through Forest Park (thank goodness for the new Hampton bridge!), I just cannot believe ( Read more... )

Me being me, I called the HR department at MoBap on Monday to make sure they got the message I had left on Friday about scheduling the 2nd interview.

Good GRIEF! What is wrong with this place?! 9On top of that, I took the wrong detector ( Read more... )

Yesterday I received word from Bethesda-Dilworth Skilled Nursing Facility that they would like to interview me for a full-time medical social worker position. Thrilled to be contacted by anyone, I requested an interview ASAP, and fought the horrific roads to get there this morning. After speaking with a recruiter from Human Resources, followed by ( Read more... )

Over the last few months, I have noticed my vision becoming more strained, especially when driving and trying to read signs at a distance. It hasn't been terrible, mind you, but enough that I knew it would probably be time to get back to the eye doctor and see about a new prescription. During this same time, I've also been contemplating the idea ( Read more... )
