It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, even though I don't have a job. Well, a job that pays me money that is. I've had some interviews, done a couple of jewelry shows, worked out with friends and worked on homework. I know, none of that is funny right? Well, today Dylan had a birthday party to go to at a certain pizza joint that has games and such. I decided that I would take Hannah for lunch there as well instead of just dropping Dylan off. While Hannah and I were playing games, she found a game that she won a bunch of tickets on the last time we were there. As we walked up to the game she said something which sounded like "This game totally raped me last time we were here." Of course I responded with "what?". She actually said "This game totally nabbed my money the last time we were here." How I heard raped instead of nabbed, I have no idea, but I did have to hold in a laugh because I thought it was so funny that I thought my 12 year old said such a thing.
On another note, Weight Watchers is totally working. I'm down 7 pounds and 4 inches in my waist. Plus inches lost in my thighs and hips. Now, if I could just get my arms under control. Back to yoga I guess. I do love yoga but classes are so expensive and I'm not disaplined enough to do it everyday at home. But I guess I'm just going to have to do it, I mean it is free on my TV. And as I sit here watching the Victoria Secret fashion show (E! pre-Oscar red carpet show), I think "I can look like that"! Right, maybe if I were 8" taller and a D cup. But I'm doing my best to at least look good naked. Yep, that's my goal, to look good naked. Whose with me?

Super Duper
Well, Eric ended up not going to the strip club, yay me! And he wasn't that upset about it either. Yay me again. We went out on Saturday night with some friends and had a fabulous time. I got to dance a little, and it reminded me of how much I miss hitting a dance floor. I really need to get out more. At least more than just to the pub down the street and the mall.
I gained a pound last week. Probably because I was well over my points this past weekend. But it was worth it, well worth it. I got on the scale this morning though and have lost 2 pounds since Monday (which is my weigh in day for weight watchers). This makes me think I'm not going through menopause but was just bloated instead. Also, the breakdown I had seems to be just a bad episode of PMS. I think it was just so bad because of all of the stress. Then again, maybe it's that bad every month and I just don't notice it. I'll have to ask somebody what they think of me during those 3 days a month. I'm sure they will tell me the truth...
This week has been alright for me. It's very strange not working. I've had some interviews and I think they've gone somewhat well, but I'll have to wait to see if they call back. And if they do call back, then I need to see if they'll offer me what I want. I'm not going to settle for a job until I feel I have to settle for a job. I'm worth more than just settling. At least that's what I tell myself when I'm looking at myself in the mirror in the morning. You know the drill, "I am somebody, I can do anything, I'm worth something, etc. etc." It seems to be working so far, I think?

Crazy week...
It's been a crazy week. First off, I'm breaking out like a 14 year old in mid-hormonal change. I'm sure it's stress, but I think my boobs are getting bigger too, so maybe I'm going through puberty again. Oh wait, puberty for adult women is menopause. Well, that would suck if I were going through menopause at the ripe old age of 32. But I may very well be doing just that. Tuesday I had a slight mental breakdown. It was uncontrollable. I was screaming at God for not helping me out. I'm sure I looked insane. Then, when I left the house, I slipped on the ice (again) and just started yelling the F word like it was the only word in the English dictionary. Then, while trying to get into the car, I slipped again. And that was when I started crying. Cried all the way to school. But Wednesday, I was fine. Actually, I was in a great mood. And again today, great mood. Crap. I'm totally in menopause. On a positive note, I guess I won't have a visit from aunt flo anymore.
Weight Watchers is working. I've lost 5lbs since I started the program. And I've lost 3 inches in my waist. I had to buy new jeans. And, I actually found a pair that fit wonderfully. Which, as most women know, finding jeans that fit well and make you look somewhat sexy is not easy. That is why there are so many different styles of jeans. So, if you want to loose some weight, join Weight Watchers cause it works. Or at least it works for loosing 5 pounds. I'll let you know if I loose more.
Now, on to the subject I have yet to discuss in this blog. My husband. He may be going to a strip club this weekend with some guy friends. I really don't like those places and see no need for married men to go into such a place. The whole purpose is to make you horny. Why would a married man want to get all hornied up only to not be able to do anything about it until he gets home? And when he gets home and sees his wife (whose had 2 children and doesn't look anything like a stripper), he'll then be turned off and decide he wants a divorce because he should be with someone who looks like a stripper. I understand men think differently than women. And I understand that being in a relationship for more than a year can get boring. But going to a strip club is not the answer. The other issue I have with this strip club thing is the money. We only have so much, do we really want to waste it on a girl who can't or won't get a respectable job? I hate throwing money away. Also, my husband, in all of his excitement about going to a strip club, is going with 3 men who don't wear wedding bands. 1 isn't married at all, 1 has been married for 12 years but he and his wife don't wear rings, and 1 is engaged. Now, the question is, will he leave his ring on? I'm very curious to see how he is going to react to me going to a male strip club with my girl friends. I'm really not that interested in going, but I will go just to find out how he reacts to my excitement about seeing other men, with sculpted bodies, dancing all around me. Sometimes, marriage is just a big game.
There are 2 days left in this week. And I have no idea how they are going to play out. But I'll be sure to keep you posted on the statis of my menopause, weight loss, and marriage.

Day 2 of No Job
Here I sit, day 2 without a job, looking for a job and feeling quite down about the situation. It doesn't help much that the entire town has shut down due to the 5" of ice that is covering everything outside. The kids are bored out of their minds being home and inside all day. Thank goodness for Nintendo. Right now my daughter is quite upset with me because she wants to play outside and I said no (because my goal in life is to be the meanest mom I can be). Actually, the ice is just barely melting, making it just slippery enough to be dangerous and the windchill is still in the teens. And maybe I'm just a little over protective when it comes to my kids. Unlike my neighbor, who let her kids play outside at midnight last night.
I have this plan, and it seems to be going nowhere. Everything today seems to be more about who you know than what you know. What I know, is that I don't know enough people in the field of art or interior design to get a job or even an internship in such a field. Therefore, I need to meet more people. And now that I have the time to do so, there should be nothing stopping my plan, right? Well, nothing but mother nature. I could be 5 steps into my plan by now if I hadn't been stuck in my house for 3 days.
Trying to find a job online is like trying to find a shirt in your size on the $5 clearance rack. Close to impossible. You are looking for a job along with thousands of other people who have the same (or better) qualifications than you. My plan is to stop in at places I would like to work and leave my resume. Now, who knows if this will work in today's society. 15 years ago you could just stop in anywhere and fill out an application and get the job on the spot. Not so easy today. Today, you have to upload your resume online, fill out the application online, and follow up through email because you can't call the company directly. Basically, it sucks.
Hopefully, the kids will be back in school tomorrow and I can get some resumes out to some different places. If not, then we'll just have to spend another day playing Nintendo.
