Just a little Halloween Fun.

I have been meaning to post these pics of my yard for several weeks. We decorated the first weekend of October on a very rainy day. It was miserable putting it up, but I think it turned out quite well.

Drum Roll Please

Ok all you blood hounds. It is time to get busy and win this friggin contest. I am officially starting a Picture Scavenger hunt. I hope you will participate!!!!

You know who you are

Let me just start saying that WOOHOO4OU is Whack!!! She stops by my blog whenever she feels like it and then has the audacity to call me sick!!! Well Ms. Thing, if I do recall, we used to be referred to as M2. Just remember that makes you doubly sick! So take that!!!

Now for the real meat of the blog!!! I will have a surprise tomorrow. Don’t know what it will be yet, but let me assure you, it won’t be some stinkin Halloween costume contest that a mastermind concocted inorder to throw their loyal readers into a tizzy because they can’t figure out the answer. D-Daug why do you torture me like this???? WHY? I ask you… Why?!!!!

My Posse's On Broadway!!!

Oh!!! Sorry, I was thinking of my former profession when I titled this post.

Speaking of previous professions I have been wanting to take one of those stipper pole classes for awhile. Don't ask me why. It isn't like I will ever practice it in my alone time, but I just think it would be neat to learn some of those sextastic moves. I can just see me now a 200+ chunk trying to grip the pole with my mammoth thigh thats circumferance is as big as a "Working Girl's" waist. I am literally lmao just thinking about it.

You must be thinking that I practice a healthy dose of self-degregation daily while in fact that couldn't be further from the truth. Just today I was on the train looking at my reflection and thinking. Damn!! I am beautiful.....I mean, I realize that I am two whole people, but I still got it.

Relaxing

This has been such a relaxing weekend. We really needed it at our house. I wasn't feeling well on Thursday and Sophia was under the weather on Friday so we needed to have just a chill weekend and that is what we did. I did finish a book I had been reading "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle", I will tell you that it was a great book, but I expected more at the end. I won't go into details, but I will say it is a mammoth read being with a little over 550 pgs. and I expected a better ending. The meat of the book was exellent, the writing superb and was a very easy read. Although I wanted more from the end I don't regret spending the time on it.

Well gotta get prepared for tomorrow.

WLS

I am going to a Weight Loss Seminar tonight. It should be interesting as I am a hefty mama. I want to lose the weight I really do, but I don’t want to work out, stop eating fast food or take time for myself. There in lies the problem. Anyway, D-Daug give me some inspiration and tell me how much weight you have lost since you started your quest. I need encouragement.

Interview and Much More

So my only two readers (and I say this with great sadness) have been inquiring about my interview. Well here goes the answer: NO!!! The boss-man did call me and tell me that although I had scored the best on the interview (they use a stupid structured interview process at the world class company I work for) and that is was extremely impressed with the projects I have managed and my communication abilities there was a person who had a tad bit more experience who already worked for the program. This translates into: We only interviewed to make it look good with HR eventhough we already had someone in mind in the first place. I hate when people waste my time like that.

Anyway, I'm re-evaluating at this point. I have been thinking of going to grad-school for quite sometime, but I just don't know if I have the drive or time to do something so drastic. I will be honest and tell you that I feel extremely DUMB!!! I don't feel that I am being challenged at work or in my personal life. I can only read so many intelligent, witty books in a month and I am at my limit. This will sound sooo ridiculous to those who don't have children, but I feel incredibly guilty doing something like that for myself and not reserving the time I devote to that on my children. Just my thoughts; however, misplaced they maybe.

I have mentioned in the past that I work for finance atty's and have made one decision lately. I do really like the group of guys I work with. I get lots of perks and most of the time have an easy work schedule. We have been extremely busy lastely, but there are always ebbs and flows to all businesses. Anyway, I have made the decision to get my para-legal certificate. It will open a few more doors for me in the future. Eventhough, I will probably never work as a para-legal it would be good to have in my line of work.

I am sending off my application tomorrow and hopefully will know something soon. You have to have a bachelor's degree for this program and I think it will be intense, but short. One year online.

Gotta go... Tim's calling
