Yesterday was a disappointment. I had another interview and was told to my face that I would not be hired because I am female. I was applying for a position as a doorperson to a local bar that is opening, and I wasn’t hired because she didn’t think I could “lift heavy stuff” and she told me she was looking to hire a guy for the job. Whatever is all I have to say.
Snowed a little today. I am hoping that there will be snow enough soon to play in with my daughter. On a good note, I did get a 55 gallon fish tank today. Got it all set up, and running to get ready for some fish. I want to make it a warm water tank so I can have something besides goldfish.
Oh, and here is a little tid bit that I am having problems with. I placed an add on the famous Craigslist that I am looking for work. I expected the occasional nasty email, but I had one from a guy that I am having problems with discerning if it is a scam or not.
He is a architect, and he is working out of the country. He wants me to buy things and mail them for him, and receive his business and personal mail. Now, I thought it was a scam for sure. But he is going to pay me $800 per month to do this, in the form of a money order, and send money to pay for the things he wants me to buy, and he has a UPS account to pay for shipping. He hasn’t asked for any pertinent information, and hasn’t asked for change. So I don’t know what to do with it.
Who knows, everyone is telling me that it is a scam, but what is he trying to scam me out of?? I am hoping tomorrow is a better day…..but first let me tell you about today…
Did a little Christmas shopping which was good. Not too many people at the dreaded Wal-Mart. Hung out at home with the hubby, and listened to my kid be crabby all day. I am surprised that I haven’t pulled out all my hair and run screaming into the night. But, the icing on the cake was when I went shopping at the local grocery store. I dropped my wallet out in the parking lot and I haven’t seen it since. I lost $70, my ID, my SSI card ( I know I shouldn’t have had it in there to begin with right), and my pre-paid MasterCard, and various store memberships, and important stuff. I am hoping that by the grace of God that it turns up, but I doubt it……..all I want to do now is go to bed and hope to wake up to a better day.

Yesterday, I had a job interview at a bar/restauraunt in town. One of the first questions that the man asked me was if I had any kids, and if there was any issues with babysitting. I said no, not if I got the hours that I wanted. The whole reason that I asked for the hours that I did was so my daughter can stay out of daycare, and my husband can watch her. Needless to say he was looking for someone to work the opposite of the hours that I want, of course.
I beat down alot of doors yesterday. Found a cute little brewery that had opened up two weeks ago right across the street from my house. Tried for a job, but they weren't hiring. Made an awesome dinner, kilbasa, and green beans cooked with hickory bacon, with mashed taters and brown gravy. Was killer.
Joe has all next week off, I don't know what I am going to do with myself. You would think that with him home things would get done easier and chores would always be caught up. It is the opposite really. He pretty much has his butt glued to the couch and is either playing video games, or watching movies all day. I can understand that he is the majority money provider for the family. But what do you want to bet that things don't change when I get a job. I will have to work a job, upkeep a house, maintain a child, cook, do laundry....the list goes on and on. It is a wait and see thing I guess. I hope he proves me wrong because I am going to get burnt out on that really fast if I end up doing everything. Hope at least I can get some decent sleep tonight. But the look in Joes eyes tells me different......(sigh)

Yesterday was a weird one, I tell you what. The most part of the day I spent at home with my little booboo. Reading books, cleaning the house, washing dishes, and coloring. Spent a little time playing Black Ops online just because I love to shoot guys and have them get all mad that they got killed by a girl, it’s the best I swear. Got my last full unemployment check, Joe got paid, so I knew we were going to go into town when he got home.
Joe got home while booboo was sleeping, and lets just say I was unprepared for the attack…..but it was ok lol ;)Baby woke up shortly after, so we got ready to go to town. Stopped by a local tavern to check for a job opening. I was greeted by the owner, who told me he would do my interview right then, but he had been drinking and didn’t do interviews drunk, but did tell me to come back the next morning at 8!
Went to Wal-Mart, oh yay…love to hate that store. Joe went off to the movie section while I got dinner figured out (of course) and while I was in the pizza section I was met by the creepiest guy I have ever seen in my whole entire life! He was there in the isle with his equally creepy friend. As soon as I saw the two of them stop close enough to smell, I decided to leave the isle. Upon looking over my shoulder back up the isle when I met Joe at the end, I was greeted by the sight of the creepy dude staring at me with his mouth open, standing spread-legged in the middle of the isle. Now to paint a more accurate picture. He was about 6’2”, 280#s, shoulder length greasy black hair, extremely bad acne, pjs, and a long black trench coat. I felt like one of those women that ends up in a local ditch with her head cut off. I think I am going to have nightmares of that man…creepo…thing for a LONG time.
Went home, slapped the pizza in the oven, fed baby, watched Grown Ups, which I might add is an awesome movie, and decided to head to bed. Anticipating the next day and my interview. Also hoping to not be graced with the presents of the creepy dude in my dreams…

Well, first day of my blog and I am kind of excited for what this may bring to my life! Why did I start to write a blog? Well, there are too many things that happen in my average life not too. I have to share the wealth of funny stuff that happens to me and my family.
Last night, I made dinner (which was friggen awesome, because I am a damn good cook) which was sliced steak with mushrooms and onions in brown gravy over rice. Salad on the side. I could tell by the way Joe(AKA hubby) kept wiggling his eyebrows at me over his dinner plate that there was no rest for the wicked after dinner was done.....I was right~
Afterwards I jumped on Joes phone and text my best friend, I said I love you! Somehow the conversation went to my husband trying to convince her to send him some pictures of her boobs. I laughed, completely unconcerned because I knew two things. One, he was kidding, and two, she would never send pictures of her boobs to him. He told her, they all pretty much look the same anyway. She writes to him, not really, my boobs are sad. What does my husband say to her? Put a smiley face on them and they won't be so sad.....Went to bed shortly after that, baby went to sleep well. Blissful sleep....write more tomorrow!
