Had a great evening w/ the girls~

I had such a blast with my friends in St. Louis tonight. We went to dinner, at PF Chang’s and then walked around some stores and then had dessert at The Cheesecake Factory. When will I learn that I am not a dessert person??? I like the simple stuff, a bowl/cone of ice cream, apple pie, a couple of cookies. But nooooo I had to order this monster: (and yes, that is my finger in the way of the flash! [rolls eyes] I'm still learning my camera. but I DO LOVE it!)



Holy cow! And to make matters worse in my honest opinion it wasn’t even good! UGH! I hate wasting money like that on food! I was just caught up in the moment w/ all the girls. Wanna know what’s really funny??? Before we had dessert we were in Crate & Barrell… and I bought a food scale for my diet! :ROTFL:
I really had a great time!!! Thanks, Reba for getting that all together! You are the best!!! :-)

ETA: I don't know what the heck the problem is, but all those words in the post and previous posts that are in BOLD are also SUPPOSED to be in a different color. Why sometimes they are and sometimes they aren't is a great mystery to me. If you know why and can help me out PLEASE PLEASE do!! Thanks!

'Blog'-casting from St. Louis

Here I am in good Ole St. Louie again. I'm hanging this week w/ the family that I used to Nanny for, the new girl (well she's been here for almost a year now... but she's leaving so they've gotta find someone new again) is on vacation so they flew me up for the next week or so.... Should be fun! I'm so tired to day and I really shouldn't be... I had good sleep last night despite being alone in the bed. I miss C so bad and my puppies too! C said that Duke was soooo happy for 'someone' to come home last night. Wish it had been me!
So, I had my 3rd interview on Monday and I left there thinking that I had totally bagged that job, but I still haven't heard anything yet. I called the HR manager on Tuesday but haven't heard from her, I won't call today but I'll probably call again on Thursday.
The house deal fell through and we are very bummed about it. So...... anyone want to invest in some property in IL???
Sorry I've been a bad blogger lately... I just don't have a whole lot to say... for once! :-)

Take care folks!

I'm so nervous!

I have a job interview today. I think I really want this job. The company sounds amazing. So far the job description is all stuff that I can handle. It seems that C and I would be able to carpool, so that is way cool!
I'm still trying to figure out my camera... I already want new lenses... of course!
I actually started this post on Monday so the above is from Monday....
I'll finish the rest of the post today:
I am officially a resident of Texas as of today. We finally registered my car w/ TX plates and in TX you can't get a TX drivers license until your vehicle is registered so once we did the car thing... I went to the Dept of Public Service to get my drivers license. So long story short.... LOTS of money was deducted from our account today! :-(
On a better note, we may have a contract on our house in IL by tomorrow!!! WHOOO HOOOO! It's a long story that I'll share another day.
I also got a phone call late this afternoon from the where I interviewed on Monday and they set up a 3rd interview w/ the board and the VP for Monday morning at 10:15. They knew I was going out of town on Tuesday and they wanted me in there before I went out of town. YAY!!! I'm so happy! I hope that I get it. It sounds like a great job and I know the company is great already.
So pray saints pray!!! Lots going on in our household this week!

wow

I saw this on AshleyS's blog and just HAD to add it here. It's totally amazing. I never thought about the song being sung from that perspective, but WOW!
