Month: October 2004

1) Just living in a nice neighborhood does NOT guarantee a lot of trick-or-treaters. As it past years, we had only a dozen or so visitors. 2) Carve pumpkins Halloween morning. Remember how smug I was that we carved ours 192 hours before Halloween (that is equal to 8 days)? Well, by the time the…

A year ago today I was in Chicago for the wedding of my friend Julie. 10/31/03 was her bachelorette party, which we had at the Cheesecake Factory at the watertower. Julie, the other MOH Amanda and I started off the night at the bar. Julie, of course, was a good girl and mostly drank sodas…

(Sorry, Blogger was being really slow to let me type in a new post…) Anyway! I have an interview Monday at 8:30 AM for a position in customer service. I would be one of the people to help you out if you have a vehicle equipped with the service. Awesome! If I can get my…

Well, I had an email back from the temp agency re: the position I mentioned yesterday. It’s taken…darnit. It was taken pretty quickly, I bet. The lady from the agency seemed to have a ‘tude….her email said “The position is taken. It was an immediate need” (yes, she used the italics). Better luck next time!!

Sorry I didn’t update yesterday! Lazy/busy. Good news! I got an email about a position as a “Leave Administrator” for a company here in town. It’s a temp to hire position where the pay maxes out at 30k (which is what I make now, before the pay cut). I emailed back as soon as I…

The state I live in allows for early voting, so after work today Gene and I went to the library (he visits exactly every 4 years) to vote. Glad that’s over with! I did not repeat the mistake I made last time and voted for Kerry. Onto more pressing topics. Have you seen the Ashlee…

1) Something I don’t get: the band Coldplay. WTF? Their song “Clocks” was on the radio when I was driving back from picking up linner (Wendy’s…blehh!) and I just totally do not understand them at all. I have heard them compared to the Beatles and maybe U2 and I just. don’t. get. it. Is it…

How did it happen AGAIN?? It’s Sunday morning and that makes tomorrow MONDAY morning. I just can’t do it. I just absolutely cannot get up tomorrow and go into work again. We have to leave in a half hour to take the boy back home. Usually we meet my mother in law between here and where she…

The week is over! Are you doing a little dance, glad for the weekend? I sure as hell am! Nothing new with the job search and Scooby seems fine. They both were checked out of Puppy Day Camp and appear unscathed. Scoob’s nails were even trimmed. I think the secret to them being OK is…

(That is, No Guh-news is good Guh-news). Anyway, on my way home from work I stopped in the vet’s office and picked up the medicine for Scooby. Dr. Peterson told me yesterday that Scooby would have to eat every bite of his meals to make sure he finishes the medicine. (hahahahahaha). Today I got lucky…
