Randomness

Things are starting to look up. I was really worried when I quit my job at the Hampton that I wouldn't be able to find another part time job soon enough and that all my bills were going to go into collection and I was going to get evicted (right after I lost water and power and gas....LOL) Luckily I got a phone call from one of the places I applied at. I have an "interview" tomorrow. I put interview in " " because I know the hiring manager (she used to work at the Hampton too) and last night on the phone she was like "you know I'm totally hiring you, right?" So it's in the bag. I am hoping that I can start on Monday so I don't have too much of a lapse in between paychecks. The best part is that she can fit in my hours after I get off work at the office, so I will probably only have to work the occasional saturday or Sunday. I told her as long as I got one day to myself we were cool :-). It's still gonna be tough working two jobs, but since the hours are no later than 11pm quitting time I can deal. I dont usually go to bed until midnight anyway. So that is my good news for the week. Still waiting to hear on the other job, but since I applied only yesterday I am sure I won't hear anything from them for a little while. Still keeping my fingers crossed on that one. If I do get it, I think I will keep the part-time job and save the money from there for a new car or downpayment on a house or something. Which I guess is just a repeat of what I said yesterday. Plus it's in a clothing store....can you say DISCOUNTS!!! :-) If I get an interview for the HR job....hellooooooo new suit!!!

I don't know if you all have noticed or not, but I have finally made the decision to quit smoking. See my quit meter at the top of the page. That is going to be my daily motivation to keep it up. I love how it puts up how much money I have saved. I'm almost up to $4.00!! If you remember from a previous post I did, I have set some goals for my self to achieve in the coming year. Slowly but surely I am hacking away at the list. You'll also notice at the top of my page that I have lost almost 4lbs!! It seems insignificant, but I can see a slight difference in my abdominal area. For motivation I have put up a picture of myself in just a sports bra and panties on my computer desktop. I just look at that and say to myself "OK, time to get off your lazy butt and get onto the elliptical, or do some crunches, or just put on my mp3 player and dance like a moron around the living room." I suppose I should edit my goals post as I no longer have to prepare to move to VA.

Speaking of VA. Since I haven't heard a word from Todd (surprise surprise) I have decided to reactivate all of my profiles online. I know I know.....online. But hey, I don't get out much, so it is really hard to meet people. Plus I can't just go up to some guy in the grocery store and say "hey, nice melons" (Does that work for girls? LOL) I also don't really like meeting people in bars. Seems the ones who are there are only there for one reason, and that's not what I'm looking for. Maybe in 6 months time, I may, but not now! So I've been chatting with one guy in particular the past few days. He seems great, but I guess everyone does on paper. His downfall....he lives in the Denver area. I don't know, seems like I may be setting myself up again, but I don't want to pass up meeting the right person because of location. hey, at least it's the same state, right?
