Update

I applied Saturday for a job at Lane Bryant. If I get it I’ll get 40% off all their stuff EVERYDAY. Oh my God … I’ll never bring home a dime but I will look like a million bucks. I’ll know something probably by next week. Cross all fingers and toes at this time, please.

In other working news, I am doing intake interviews with clients for Vicki (the Mother-in-law) at $25 a pop. Last week I worked two days for a total of 3.5 hours and got $75 dollars. I can handle that. Quick basically painless money. I like her.

I’m also signed up for tutoring during summer school and I’m still doing beading. I sold beaded eye glass holders (the chain things) and necklaces during the Sanford Pottery festival and made a quick $100. I made $65 a couple of weekends ago at a street fair in Pittsboro. I sat out all day on the sidewalk, talked to people, played with kids and beaded. It’s a great way to earn a few bucks.

Also, during my first week and a half of vacation, thanks to a few iced mochas, my entire house is SPOTLESS. Even the bathroom mirror. Everything is organized and orderly. I could find any object upon request with great ease. Yeah, I know, I’m a sicko.

My sweetie got a job at the local Pizza Hut (for the free food – no joke) so he is rarely home anymore in the evenings. It sucks for us in a way but we spend more time paying attention to each other when we ARE together instead of co-existing than we used to.

I’m also walking in the afternoons with my neighbor Misty, who is a blog all her own, and catching up with old friends. I’m painting and doodling with craft stuff, too. I’ve pulled out the cookbooks and started caring about what we eat again. I’m back on a water kick, other than the mochas, of course.

So … I am doing a little of this and a little of that and enjoying the fruits of my labor. I’m laying outside reading, playing with the dog and downing Paxil. Life is good. For now, anyway.
