Mom's Birthday

I'm here at my mom's house for her birthday. Poor mom received an empty box, and a paper doll. Not kidding. My present to her hasn't come in the mail yet, so I cut out the picture, and put it in her card. My sister's present wasn't in the box. It was the last one left and was on display...and they just didn't put it in the box. Hope she at least liked her cake because that's about all she got!

Nothing new really going on. Went to an interview yesterday. Had a follow-up interview in the afternoon. I'll take the job if they offer it, but I really don't want it. Me - Receptionist...not going to happen. I'll do it...and I'll do a good job at it...but I DO NOT want it! And parking downtown sucks!

On my weekend without Gabby JC and I went to my work Christmas party, and it was fantabulous! We had so much fun! Had a little too much to drink, but that's what you get when you decide to drink the spiked punch all night.

We went and saw The Fountain. Weird. That's all I have to say. Visually beautiful, but weird. All you acid takers should really probably see it. On Sunday we saw Blood Diamond. One of the best movies I've ever seen. I'm being a little bit biased. I love my books filled with history and my movies filled with angst. It's right in line with Beyond Borders and The Constant Gardener. I love those kinds of movies. I realize that they're very "Hollywood", but that's the way it has to be done for most Americans to even want to pay attention to what's going on in the rest of the world. Besides can you get any better than Leo with tons of new muscles and an African accent. I can never remember the other guy's name, but love him too. He was so awesome in In America. And Jennifer Connely has NEVER looked prettier. JC didn't know who she was, and when I said Labryinth he got it, and said, "Yea...she's come a long way."

I'm very nervous still about going to Dallas. I can't wait for Christmas. I can't wait to be employed. (That's what my mom wants for Christmas she said...for me to find a job.) I can't wait to have Gabby out of school for a couple of weeks. JC has one Christmas party this Monday, and another on the 28th. A very busy season...especially compared to last year when we weren't together.

I have plenty more to say once the New Year works its way around. This year will go down as my "Crying Year", and I hope the next one will be filled with laughing...out loud.

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...
WTF? God, I feel great. I am a typical cancer (please refer back to this ). "At times you will seem to have the greatest love for life, yet at others you can be nothing but a self-pitying mess. You can be pleasant and cheerful, or you can be egotistical and vain." Yep, that's me! So, now comes the part where I have a great love of life. And isn't it sad that it stems from feeling secure that someone likes me? One final down...3 more to go! I can't wait for this semester to be over. It has been really hard. Really it was last Spring semester that was really hard, and almost killed me...and that semester seems to have put me in burnout mode for this past semester. But, next semester is new, and will probably kill me with how busy I'll be since I go back to work full-time in the Spring...but as much as I complain...I like being busy, busy, busy! Off to see Aaron the Beast in a couple of hours. Didn't have time to shave my legs this morning. ...

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 ...
