Back on the Planet...Sort Of. :)

Hey everyone!

I know it's been weeks since I blogged and so I've got some serious catching up to do. Better get to it. :)

As of last week, B has shifts again doing daytime security, woohoo! The night shift thing just didn't work for me because when I don't sleep well I get really cranky, so he was officially off work for 6 weeks. I'm SOOOOOOO relieved that he has regular hours and that I have some quiet around the house several days a week again. I'm infinitely more productive when he's not distracting me. ;-)

Speaking of my productivity, I took the last several weeks off work to take care of personal business and get myself well again. It wasn't all that relaxing because of all the other stressors that are still going on but I am healthy again thankfully so that's something. I've been conducting what amounts to two job hunts (day work and a place to park my real estate license) and have had some good interviews but no day job yet. I continue to hit the job boards a couple of times a week and send my resume for all the things I'm qualified for. In the meantime, I'm going to stay at my real estate company until I find another place to go. I'd rather have that than my license going inactive, for sure. Who knows? I might get some more deals going which means future paychecks for me. I've got a friend who is a broker and is talking about starting his own shop September 1, so I know that I'll be able to go there and work for him if it happens. :)

We got our notice to re-up our lease at the end of July and they're wanting to raise our rent yet again this year. When we first moved into this complex, it was a helluva good deal...they raised our rent last year and it became a fair deal...this new price is not a good deal at all and we're going to go ahead and take our leave. We've been wanting to live closer to town anyway so this seems like a good time to do it. It looks like we're going to be adopting a roomie and trying to find a little house to live in instead of an apartment. We'll prolly end up in the ghetto or something for what we can afford but we've all agreed that as long as we have secure parking and can afford a security system, it's all good. B and I start the house hunt on Friday so please think happy thoughts that we can find something we like and can afford quickly. We'll save a fortune in gas and tolls by not living up here so that's a good and happy thing. :)

I think that's about all the news that's fit to know right now. Hope things are going well for all of you. Lots of love!

A Final Xmas post

Here's one more "Night Before" version that I couldn't help but steal from Da Jules. Y'all enjoy! Twas the night before the party When all through the town, No pigs were stirring, No cops were around. We drank segrams & smoked panama reds, While visions of the munchies danced through our heads. When all of a sudden came a knock at the door... We all yelled "Pigs!" & hit the floor. But what to our red glazed eyes did appear... A pound of columbian with 2 kegs of beer. The man at the door, he gave us a smile So we said, "Come on in man, You should party a while." But we heard him exclaim as he flew through the sky... MARIJUANA TO ALL & TO ALL A GREAT HIGH!!!

Wax Is Not Your Friend...

Ohmigawd, my Mom-person sent this one to me and I swear I actually did laugh out loud. I think I'll stick to shaving cuz this sounds really scary to me... ;-) All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. So I pull one of the ...

Couple of Bra Jokes :)

Here's a couple of oldies but goodies. :) What Religion is Your Bra? A man walked into the ladies department of a Macy's, shyly walked up to the woman behind the counter and said, "I'd like to buy a bra for my wife. "What type of bra?" asked the clerk. "Type?" inquires the man, "There's more than one type?" "Look around," said the saleslady, as she showed a sea of bras in every shape, size, color and material imaginable. "Actually, even with all of this variety, there are really only four types of bras to choose from." Relieved, the man asked about the types. The saleslady replied: "There are the Catholic, the Salvation Army, the Presbyterian, and the Baptist types. Which one would you prefer?" Now totally befuddled, the man asked about the differences between them. The Saleslady responded, "It is all really quite simple...The Catholic type supports the masses. The Salvation Army type lifts the fallen...
