Okay, maybe I am not in here enough but it seems everytime I log on...it's a new format! Whatever, it's still a great place to share some feelings. I really like work. For the most part, I am left to my own devices. My boss is VERY supportive. I have had a few challenges with the staff but we are working on that. I am still trying to convince one of my account execs that I really am her boss and the old boss is gone. She isn't performing either so I don't know what she is thinking. Meanwhile, my Mother isn't speaking to me. She didn't like the boundaries I put in place and that is too bad. Hubby is doing well, he got a much deserved raise! Mendy is doing very well. She doesn't like the pool. She won't get in it yet. She is so cute, though. She loves her new yard. The house has been a work in progress for us...well the yard. We enjoy yard work so that works out for us. More later...902 days ago
I went on the interview previously mentioned in my May blog. Interestingly enough, the day I started was also the day that they decided NOT to tell the older gentleman that had the stroke they were replacing him with me. Then they told me he had his job as long as he wanted and he was going to mentor me.Then suddenly, they wanted me to work 3 Saturdays a month. Long story short; it didn't work out. SO we were really bummed about that and I did some hard praying b/c money was getting mucho tighto. I'm talking I have eaten ramen noodles every day for lunch for the past 3 weeks. AND THEN... This Tuesday I got a call from a lady at a TV station here in town. She was responding to the resume I sent (on nice paper and everything) the week before. She said they were just making their decision when my resume came across her desk-and I really fit what they were looking for and could I come in and visit with them. Long story short; they offered me the job today. The position is ...

Today, our nation and our allied nations from WWII remember our fallen soldiers from D-Day; Normandy France 1944. Over 10,000 men died on that single day. Many, many families suffered great loss; including my Hubby's father. He was the single surviving son losing both older brothers on the beaches of Normandy. War is an extreme answer and should be the last resort. I often wonder if our leaders today have learned from history's lessons. To find out more about D-Day and to pay tribute to our heroes and their families go to www.dday.org/

So, since Hubby didn't get a birthday gift; we were interested to see how long it would take Pat to call since....as we all know, she is looking for a reaction from Hubby. She called on Easter Sunday. She left a message saying she just wanted to see how we were doing and wish us a Happy Easter. Hubby did not return the call. Mother's Day is coming up. You'll remember last year on Mother's Day, we spent quite a bit of money sending a nice Harry and David's gift basket. Hubby got her a card, at my insistance the other day and we will send it this week. Obviously, we are done with the whole gift giving thing since she is obviously no longer giving us gifts. Sounds petty but it's like why? Why should we continue to give when she is being so petty? Petty is as petty does, I guess. Hubby is still trying to decide if he will call her at all. I think he is concerned he might just blow up. I can't say as I blame him. In other news, Hubby's oldest niece-and Cathy's only daughter ...

Well, I totally missed blogging in April. What a wild couple of months. I have been on several interviews, nothing solid so far on a job offer. Although I would be really surprised not to hear from the Auto Group I interviewed w/ on Friday. Protégé is there and recommended they call me for Inventory Manager. A position I have not done but know a lot about and would be really good at, never mind really enjoying! I am a little concerned they may not offer enough money but that’s getting ahead of myself considering they haven’t even offered the position! The house up north is in default and has been up for sale for two months. Not one looker and we have it priced $15K less than we owe, hoping for a short sale. What a freaking mess. The mortgage company WILL NOT work with me in any way. My credit is in the crapper and did I mention I didn’t qualify for Unemployment Benefits b/c in the interview; Billy lied? That was a classic move on his part I thought. I actually called him and ...
