I just spilled coffee all over my keyboard...

Friday I did it. I went up to where my sister works and took all the testing for their clerical positions. They don't let you apply for any of the jobs until you do the testing so they can see what you qualify for. I qualified for the highest clerical position. Senior Secretary, so I applied for a lot of those. I would really, really like for this job opportunity to work out. It would mean I could stay in SA, I could have lunch with my sister during the week, I would be paid well, and I would have the opportunity to go back to school and get a degree in something a little more specific. What exactly, I don't know. I can specialize my Geography degree more by getting certified in GIS because I'm already mostly there, or I would really like to do something more along the lines of biology, physiology, or maybe even geology. Something with a little more scientific background instead of cultural. Anyhoo...it's a great opportunity. Keep your fingers crossed!

After I did that I had lunch with my sister. I met with my mom later, and we talked about some stuff, and then she said she really wanted Gabby and me to go to dinner at their house with my sister and BIL, too. So...we did...Fajitas!!! Yum!!! We drank some wine/beer, played a little Scrabble...I kicked ASS!!! Gabby - 82 (not bad for an 8-year old)...my sister - 107...and me...162!!! I blew them away...ok, so my I asked my dad with help on putting together one little word in the right spot...and then of course he got so caught up he didn't want to stop helping me! But he kind of made his rounds at the table and helped everyone out.

JC came over on Friday night...we tried to watch A Mighty Wind, but couldn't get that into it. So, we put on League of Extroidanary Gentlemen instead. But we were both so tired, that the last 30 minutes of the movie we were dying for it to be over so we could just go to bed. I don't really remember what we did on Saturday daytime. Oh, yea, IHOP with Gabby. I had the best Eggs Benedict in VA that I've ever had. THE best. And, I hadn't had them for a while, so I've been craving them like crazy...At IHOP I couldn't decide if I was going to order my usual...Big Country Breakfast...or the Eggs Benedict. JC said, "Try the Eggs Benedict...it's something new." My point was that it might not be a good idea to order Eggs Benedict from IHOP, but I did it anyway..and YUC-KY! So, now you know...don't order Eggs Benedict from IHOP. It's like when JC and I recently ordered steaks at Applebee's...not so good...don't order steaks from Applebee's ...go to a steakhouse...The Hollandaise sauce was like neon yellow at IHOP!!!

Wait...Rewind...Scratch that...I just described Saturday night instead of Friday. Friday night we finished watching Season 3 of Scrubs. Saturday I went to Barnes and Nobles with Josh after JC went to work. Gabby told Josh he stinks. I love that!

Yesterday we all were lazy and did absolutely nothing. Well, Gabby played outside all day, and went to the pool with her friends. JC and I watched Closer and Four Rooms.

Hope everyone else's weekend was as relaxing as mine! I didn't really do anything, but that's how I wanted it. I'm not sure what's on the agenda today. I stayed up till 4am last night, so I'm really, really tired. But there is lots to do this week, and I think I got a good boost from my sister on Friday to kind of keep up at least a little momentum. Looks like another dreary, possibly rainy day in SA.

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Busy!!!

This weekend was jammed pack with errands and stuff. I played the Sims3 for about 5 hours on Saturday, and other than that, I never really got to sit still. I took my car in on Saturday because it was shaking horribly whenever I got up 60mph. Ended up having to get 4 new tires and an alignment. Sunday, P-Dub and I went to Joshy's house and stole his couch. He's moving and gave me his old sectional. I LOVE it! P-Dub went to his dad's for dinner and I stayed home and nested. Cleaned, rearranged. Love it! Gabby had to stay at her dad's one more night since I didn't get my car back until today. P-Dub spent the night so he could take me to work. He played the Sims3 and I read my new book. It was so domestic and sweet. I knew I wasn't crazy when I took off Friday from work. I'm working way too hard. Because I have to. Really shouldn't say too much about my job here, so I'll just say that I've been doing too much...alone. And it's kil...

2 More Days!!!

Gabby and I get on a plane that leaves at 5:30am on Friday to head to DC to be with Jessica, Eric, and the new dog. I can't wait! Gabby's never been! And she was too little the last time she was on a plane to remember it. Exciting! Last week, Jess' friend Deannie was in San Antonio. We met up for dinner and drinks. Love ya, Deannie!
