Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Job Hunting!

I had another interview with a temp service today that contacted me from getting my resume online. This sounds really exciting. It's for an appraisal company. Of course, I would be doing administrative assistant work, but it's working with a company that deals with land values...which = Geography, Geography, Geography. Could be very interesting. I have to go interview with them on Monday. The temp lady decided to give me some "helpful hints" at the end of my interview with them. She really was trying to be very helpful, but it hurt my feelings, of course. I'm sensitive. She said that she knows I would do a great job...just remember to go in there looking VERY professional...and maybe pull my hair back. Thanks. So, I'm cutting my hair off tomorrow. And, I thought I was looking pretty professional today! Black pinstriped pants...it's cold, so I wore my double breasted suit looking leather jacket...whatever. Time to go shopping I guess. I hate this professional wardrobe shit. I've worked at a place where my most professional attire consisted of capris and flip flops for the last 8 years...not to mention being a student.

Gabby has a fever and a sore throat today. She still wants to go to her dad's though. I think it would be better if she stays with me, but I don't really feel like fighting with her. The tears that come when she wants to go to her dad's break my heart, and I hate taking that away from her. At least she'd be there with her grandmother, so we'll see what happens.

If Gabby does go to her dad's I am definitely going out tonight. I have had the longest week ever! Tomorrow night is my Christmas party for my IRS job. That should be fun. I was really hoping that JC could get a Saturday night off for once because I would really like it if we could branch out a little bit, and hang out with some of my "people". But alas, he can't. I'm also getting my hair cut (thanks to temp lady's comment) tomorrow. Sunday I might go watch JC play football with his buddies. And that's my weekend...with a little more cleaning and possibly shopping thrown in for good measure. Oh...and going to see Blood Diamon or The Holiday would make this weekend even better. It's all up to how Gabby is feeling though, and if her grandmother doesn't mind watching her when she's sick.

Guess what? I went to gym yesterday...out of nowhere...worked out all by myself...no trainer...I even did 30 minutes of cardio. If I take Gabby to her dad's I'll go again this evening. I even tanned yesterday...planning on doing it again today...for the first time in FOREVER! My membership is up in May, so I better get some use out of. Eating habits have been in check for the last couple of days, too. Woo hoo!

I really, really detest arm/shoulder/chest/back workouts when I haven't done it in a while. It never fails...I wake up the next day, and my arms refuse to straighten out. It hurts like hell, and makes me wake funny.

JC is going to his mom's for Christmas in Dallas, and I'm going to be driving up the day after Christmas to drive him home so he doesn't have to get a plane ticket...and so I can finally meet his mom...his stepdad...and the other brother that I haven't met yet...he has 3. SCARY!

Feeling the Urge . . . I'm kind of feeling an urge to blog this morning...just to get my thoughts out...do something to keep my mind busy and relieve some stress...yet, I don't seem to have anything to say. I totatlly skipped doing cardio this morning, and know that I won't make it to the gym for the rest of the day...being very lazy. I stopped this morning and got a bagel and coffee. I was standing in line with all the other people who were either wearing business suits or scrubs (I live in the medical center after all), and I felt quite out of place in my Maroon5 (yeah!) T-shirt and jeans that I wore to school last night and just threw on this morning to take Gabby to school. No make-up and hair in a ponytail. I was looking quite decrepit amongst those other "working folks"! I'm wondering how my life got to be this freakin' boring!!! And then I'm wondering why the bagel shop has to be right next to a mortuary?...just a thought.
What is the definition of love? Some anonymous person asked me this in the 'comments section' many blogs ago. A hard one to answer...everyone has a different answer...I am slowly admitting to myself that I have never truly been in love...I have felt deep affection for people, and I have had my feelings manipulated, and I have definitely been in lust...But I honestly can say that I've never been in love on my own terms...I'm so ready to be swept completely off my feet...
