26 days till Christmas

well as usual its been pretty quiet around these parts. there have been some things going on, being it a holiday week last week. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving or holiday, which ever is appropriate for you...lol

I went to celebrate the day with my friend Stephanie and her family. She's also my hairdresser I know I've mentioned her before. her sister was cooking and they were really nice to include us in the festivities. it was a blast. Sarah never made it. couldn't find the house but she spent the day visiting friends and had her own thanksgiving. I feel kinda bad that I didn't cook for her. she said she didn't really eat much cuz by the time she got there the food was pretty much gone. she did eat my leftovers though.

there were like 30 people at the house. kids included. she has a huge family. we talked, we laughed, we ate, played games, I sat and watched them plan out there "black Friday" day of shopping thinking the whole time....THEY ARE CRAZY!!! talking about leaving at 4am! there was no way I was going to partake in that venture. this is the first time in 3 years that I actually had a 4 day weekend. I didn't' have to work the holidays. I'm not dragging my ass in exhaustion from working day and night...(I'm not getting paid all that good overtime either, but that's ok) I'm not stressed out about my dept and how I'm going to handle blitz day.....and from what I heard.....they made some changes and they didn't staff the dept the way they should have and I can only imagine the look on all the customers face when they found out that they couldn't put the sale stuff on layaway.,...oooo weee to be a fly on the wall that day!! that I would have woke my ass up for....but I didn't. didn't want to be bothered with all the madness to save a few bucks. it will go on sale again.....besides...I don't' have money like that. Christmas is going to be very slim pickings for me, sorry to say. unless I hit some big time lottery or the jackpot at bingo....it ain't happening.

I was talking to a friend of mine about Christmas and the holiday in general and how every year it gets worse and worse. its all about the gift these days. the bigger the better. everyone forgot what the season is about, what it symbolizes.....its all commercialized and every year it gets worse. I don't even like putting up a tree, I've become so bahumbug about it. although I'm sure if I had my own house it would be different...and yes I could decorate my space....but for what? there's a tree upstairs I can look at if I need too. honestly, I can't till its all over. and I can start the new year off and hope for a better year.

so I've been looking for a part time job. evenings and weekends type of deal or seasonal for the holiday. I had an interview last week with a cell phone company and I'm hoping that it comes through for me. the craziest thing happened during the interview that has never happened before.

the woman who interviewed me was gay. we got to talking about everything under the sun. her divorce, her kids, her breakup with her partner of 5 years. my dating, her dating, all that. then the interview questions came and I feel like a total ass but for her it was humbling.....
she asked me what my biggest accomplishments were and as I was saying "I actually have 2" the tears started flowing and I couldn't talk....lol I got all choked up. my accomplishments being Sarah cuz I am proud of my self and of her for all our accomplishments and my weight loss......I felt like such a dork. she was very humbled by the whole thing. she even said that if it was in her power she would have hired me on the spot....but they have to do the background check and all that. soooooo....I hope to hear from them this week. she said I would get a call by Wednesday either way. so cross your fingers!!

I haven't heard from anyplace else yet. but I'm still moving forward trying to get anything that I can. it would be nice to get something before Christmas...to make some extra money. its not something I'm going to keep forever....just till I get ahead and save enough for a car. I'm still going forward with getting a car in January. hopefully this one will last till then. just another month or so....lol

work has been ok. its a little slow. she keeps threatening me that the work is coming but I never see any of it. I kinda feel bad sometimes sitting here with nothing to do and getting paid. I'm still doing the work at home thing but that is starting to become boring and I really need to take a break from it.

Still haven't found the love of my life...but i know shes out there somewhere!! :o)

Have a good one!

Hugs, Jeannine
