JR got a job! YEA! At another casino. It's part time work, but full time hours. Starting Sept. 1. Thank God. I don't want to totally go into debt at this point. His old workplace is fighting him over his unempolyment claim, so money has been tight. He has an appeal meeting for that this week, though, so all is well, although I don't think he'll get it.

I've had a number of interviews the past couple of weeks, and I've had zero offers. At this point I just dread opening my e-mail, because I'm certain I'll just see rejection letters. *sigh* It's not situation critical anymore since JR found something, but still I feel pretty fucking useless. Especially since Alex started school today. I have nothing to do, so I've pretty much taken to sleeping for 10 hours a day. *sigh* I just feel so crappy about it. nobody wants me, and it's my own fucking fault. My work history sucks because I'm a spoiled rotten baby and I feel awful about it. I just need to find something.... anything at this point to get some experience & confidence.

Braves win, Braves win!

I just found out that Skip Caray died this weekend. I had no idea.  For those who aren't sports fans, Skip was the announcer for the the Atlanta Braves for like 30 years, and was the son of famed broadcaster Harry Caray. I watched him on TBS every game there for a few years. Dry wit, great broadcaster, he will be missed. So, I'll sit here and have a good cry for Skip Caray.

Had an interview today. I think it went well, and I really liked the interviewer. I felt that way about the last one, too, though. I have a feeling I have another brush off coming *sigh* Keep your fingers crossed for me. I should hear back by Tuesday. I have yet another interview tomorrow. That's 3 for me and zero for JR. What the fuck? He has a MILLION times better work history than I do. He's a harder worker and better employee than I could ever be. So why isn't anyone calling him? I don't get it.

Shana- I'll call you tomorrow. I just remembered today that you left a message like a week ago. *sigh* Miss ya. {{{{{HUGS}}}}}

a quick little something

JR's still looking for a job I figured he would have something by now, but nope. I have an interview on Monday. Very exciting! It's for a great company, has excellent benefits, and sounds like something I will enjoy doing. Won't tell ya what it is yet so I don't jinx it But I think just getting the interview is a good sign, because they turned JR down. LOL! I'm better than he is

Tuesday is Alex's birthday party. We're painting pottery at a little shop not too far away. Sounded like a cute little thing to do for a bunch of six year olds. And I won't have to clean my house, which is always a plus.

My poor little Ninja kitty has a bladder infection I don't know when it happened, but I'm so nuts for that widdle kitty-boo that it scares me. Not that I don't love my other cat and dogs, but my Ninja-poof is special. He was actually bleeding from his wee-wee. I totally freaked out. You see, a few weeks ago, before JR got fired and everything was going great, I just had one night where I just laid down with Ninja and cried... I need a good cry every now and then, but what had me going was the thought that you put so much love into your pets, and no matter what you do, or how much you care, they are going to die. Morbid thought, right? But I just couldn't get it out of my head. It's just such an allegory for life in general. So when he got sick, I lost it. But the doc says he'll be fine. Yay!

I saw "The Dark Knight" this afternoon. Great movie. While I love Christian Bale in anything, and Heath Ledger's performance was stirring and disturbing, I think I really found a soft spot for Harvey Dent, played by Aaron Eckhart. They make him a much more sympathetic character in this film than in any other Batman incarnation- much less vengeful. It really moved me in a way.

Well, I'll try to keep you guys updated. love you all!!!!! {{{{{HUGS}}}}}
