Shattered Sun

Okay, so the cute little cross stitch I gave Rachel didn’t say that, but I didn’t have a chance to take pictures of it. Maybe she will and send them to me. hint Right now I’m working on a shell one that is really pretty, too. And I got one for my brother’s wedding, so I’m really happy about that! It’s not too girly, either. And on Friday I need to grab two baby ones and finish one asap for Jennifer since she’s due in less than a month. I know, I know, I procrasinated! :snail: Anyway, when I get photos, I’ll put them up, but damn, I’m proud of myself. I’m actually getting projects completed! :hyper::b-lol: Okay, off to read websites before work. Y’all have a happy Tuesday!

That thing is the bestest cleaning thing in the whole wide world! Well, it is for those things that don’t like to come clean, anyhow. I just used it to get the scuff marks off my brown sandals before work and it took me all of two minutes. Another plus is that I don’t smell like chemicals which is always nice. Today is my first day at the new job. I know that I said it would be last Monday but they changed it and here it is. I’m nervous, of course. Thank goodness it’s a small company and I have met most of them already. My fear is that I’ll get there and then they’ll realize that they shouldn’t have hired me at all! That would suck! :knockout:

I’m off to eat something before I leave, but y’all have a wonderful day! Especially Rachel and her fam since they might be flying home today. :wave:

Man, it sucks when you get the rejection letter. Sucks worse when you are in the “final selection” of resumes. What is with that? I mean, thanks a ton people. Tell me that I basically am good for the job but someone else was a bit better. Second place never sucked so bad, lol. :taped: To be honest, I’m looking forward to working on Monday with the job that I did get as I think it will be a learning experience. I also am looking forward to earning money while being away from the kiddos! I can’t tell you how bad I feel that I am glad that they’ll both be in school this year. Does that make me an evil parent? I mean, how many parents sit there and jabber about how cool it’ll be to focus on someone other than their children? I don’t mean that they’ll be last in my life, but you know what I mean. I never thought it would be so difficult to get back into a “traditional” career when I chose to put the children first. But damn, it’s tougher than I ever suspected! And I know this sounds silly, but I think the contacts have helped me feel more confident because I’m not constanting fidgeting with them. And I went business clothes shopping last week. That wasn’t much fun. I loathe shopping! I think it makes me the anti-girl. I chatted with my mother, Rachel, and John today, too. My ears sorta hurt. But it was good conversation. I got to warn my mother about no drawings in her cards and Rachel told me about her hip new apartment. The conversation with John went on the longest and he had a lot of fun telling me about the plans him and his future wife have laid out. I think the wifey is going to be good for him. He’s one of those people that needs someone to be there to keep him on the straight and narrow, if you know what I mean. I hope he gets the boy he’s been wanting. I do hope that they don’t call him John Richard Jr. To be honest, I think the whole junior thing is over rated. I guess I just don’t understand the need to name someone after myself. They were thinking of Jeremy, which I like I lot. It’s a good strong name. It would be awesome if John took my suggestion and named him Jeremy Richard or Jeremy Ricard (Ricardo minus the “o”). And they’re thinking of Sally for the girl’s name, which is very pretty. And hopefully this second marriage will work for him. It sucks to see people not find that someone to spend the rest of their lives with. I think he’s on :cloud9: right now though. One last thing before I go for the night… I actually sent my cousin Dale a graduation card that will get to him before he graduates! :grad: I think it’s the first time I’ve truly been early for anything, lol! Okay, enough babbling, I have work to do… or something. :u-down:

Gotta love Fridays, ya know? No homework for Sam, no bedtime for the terrors, and no need to get up early tomorrow morning! :yes: Yes, yes, it is the good life, tyvm. Actually though, I have some packing to do and cleaning and I have to finish curring Uzo’s hair. He is not happy with me right now. He thinks I’m the . :b-owie: Oh, and last night I made the yummiest fajitas! :yummy::b-yummy: They were sooooo good. I impressed myself, how sad is that? I’ll have to post the marinade that I used for it. I think someone out there might enjoy it, too.

Okay, I’m off to torture Uzo some more! Hope y’all are having as much random fun as I am.

Dude, I’ve been so busy! And tired. And dead. And… well… It has been fun. I’m pretty much tired this morning, but my computer is fixed, thanks to Darren. So last’s night late night was worth it. I also got all this old stuff off my laptop computer, which is awesome! I haven’t really had a chance to go through it all, but I have the stuff burned on a disc, so we’ll see. I think it will be a bit of treasure hunting and maybe some laughs. Anyway, I am going to go do something… I’m just not sure what yet!
