Getting ready to head out to a small Halloween party to benefit the local animal shelter in a few minutes. I finally got my outfit (I’m a pirate, argh!) to look how I wanted it. The hair though, that was a royal pain in the butt. I’d never tried wearing a properly-styled topknot before, and [...]

Today was the first time I had to report for jury duty today. Reported to the courtroom at 8:15am like I was supposed to and had to wait through two hours of questions and (strangely enough) a great deal of posturing by the defense attorney. And while it was windy outside, there was no excuse [...]

Turned on the television so that I could watch the news a moment ago, but instead I was bombarded with commercials for local lawyers (I swear DUI lawyers have to be the lowest of the low, especially when they’re promising to get you off scott-free) and even a medical assistant school. Somehow this reminded me [...]

I’ve gotta busy day mapped out ahead of me. I have to go to the bank, drop off some packages at the post office, stop at the grocery store, get the laundry done, pay some bills, and a ton of other little errands as well. It’s crazy! I finished getting the laundry rounded up a [...]

So, I’m still bummed about the rejections. I picked up a copy of the classifieds today and ugh….nothing in there of interest. Hopefully there’s something in the Sunday paper. I’m a bit surprised about how close Halloween is already. I mean, I’ve seen more hullabalu for Christmas already then I have for Halloween, and it’s [...]

So…I had an interview on Tuesday. I thought it went well, seemed to get on just fine with the interviewer, but I just got a call thanking me for coming in and informing me that I wasn’t what they were looking for at this time and they would hold my resume in case of any [...]

To be honest, there isn’t much on regular t.v. anymore that gets me to tune in regularly. Pretty much the only show I watch regularly (but not religiously mind you) is Law & Order SVU. I’m sorry, but that show just rocks. And even though I do like the original Law & Order, I can’t [...]

Because apparently, the best method of losing abdominal fat is to find yummy sweets to nibble on. Good going Joana. But hey, I had stopped off at the gas station on my way home this evening and I just couldn’t pass these new delights without giving them a shot. It’s a bad habit of mine, [...]

Just got off the phone with a potential employer! I’ve got an interview all lined up for Tuesday of this coming week, so here’s hoping to a steady job. I know that the official “word” is that the recession has ended, but you couldn’t prove it by looking at the local classifieds around here! There [...]

Ugh, really wish I could go crawl away and hide under a rock for a while and forget about all upcoming obligations and bills. October has become the month I love to hate now; which is sad because I have always loved October. What with all the candy, horror movies, changing weather, and Halloween – [...]
