I'm still unemployed folks. However, on Monday Daddy sent me a link to a job posting he had found on monster.com. It was an HR Intership at a company that rhymes with Schmatheon. Apparently it's a HUGE company and I had no clue. SO... Monday I applied. Tuesday I got an email asking about my status in school. Wednesday I respond. Wednesday I get another email asking if there is a time I am available to talk on the phone. Thursday at 3pm I spoke with a Recruiting Specialist about the job. YAY!!! Friday I completed the online application. It's a Part Time position with not so great pay, but the experience would be amazing. And there's no benefits. But again, to have this huge company on my resume would be pretty darn incredible. I'm trying not to get too excited. Gotta keep my cool.
My new class started on Tuesday. Risk Management. Thrilling, I know. The instructor is amazing. He's very structured, organized and focused. And he explains things really well and doesn't talk in circles like other professors. AND... he works at Schmatheon. How cool is that?!
On another note... I'm having some work done to my teeth. I don't recall how many of you know about this, but on the morning of November 17, 2007 I slipped in the shower. I actually hit my chin on the soap dish that sticks out of the wall and then fell face first into the tub. As a result, I broke 3 of my top front teeth. Luckily, Aaron was right there and helped me up as I was screaming and crying. It was horrible. Blood... chunks of teeth. Gross. I immediately went to the oral surgeon who took xrays and told me my jaw was still in tact. We were worried because I had hit it so hard. Anyways, I ended up having to get bonding on those teeth. A few months later I check in with the dentist and find out I have horizontal fractures on those teeth. NOT GOOD. We discussed the options of veneers versus crowns and left it alone for a while. Veneers are soooo expensive. Well last week the receptionist calls and informs me that my insurance company sent them a check for $1,000. My max allowed for the year. This means that I would be responsible for the balance. But the Dr. is aware of my unemployed status and is willing to work with me on the balance. YAY! Another payment plan. All in all, it's great really. I'm getting crowns for the 3 teeth and she's giving me an over 50% discount on the third tooth. Since I still have my original molds from when I got my braces off, the lab can use those to make the crowns. Which means I'll have a perfect smile again. WHOO HOO!! GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!! And again - so thankful that this happened after the wedding.
Um... I worked for S&N again this last week. Two days actually. However, this coming week I have nothing planned. Monday is supposed to be gorgeous and I think CC is coming down. I'm hoping I can talk her into a hike or something. 5 days of nothing to do. Ahh.....
Except, this past week I did go to the movies. On Wednesday. I went to the Elvis theater which is the cheapo theater in town. It cost $2.50. Can't beat that, folks! I saw the Twilight movie. At first, I was in aww. Now that I've had time to think about it I realize it wasn't a well made movie. But it got the point across. Regardless, I am officially hooked on the series and started reading the books last night. Of course I'm still in book 1. I'll probably get through the rest this coming week if nothing comes up. I haven't read for pleasure like this in years. Seriously. I think it's been over 10 years. It's an easy read though. The writing isn't all that great either, but that's ok. I needed something to sort of veg out my brain and take it off other things.
We had the squirt last night and today. He's so darn cute.
Well, I think that's all for now. Of course if you have any other questions please feel free to comment or shoot me an email.
Later pickles.

Entering week 3
Of being unemployed. I worked for S&N one day last week as well as cleaning at Bean's place. It's all extra cash, which is great. Still no bites on the resume. Although... the HR department from the gov't did call on Wednesday to ask me some questions about school. YAY! My goal this week is to apply to at least 10 places and see what happens. Who knows... maybe I'll apply to 20:-) I also have another friend/mentor that has offered to give me some proof-reading work. That could be really neat because I love a good challenge. Um... overall this last week seemed rather rushed to me. I was basically doing something every single day. As an unemployed person, I am quite busy.
Right now I'm procrastinating on this paper that is due by midnight Monday. I got two additional books for sources yesterday and literally - all day today I have sat and stared at my computer screen waiting for the words to jump onto the pages. Nothing is working. I can't focus. I can't concentrate and worse of all - I can't remember. I hate having a horrible memory with this type of stuff. I want to remember. I want to KNOW. Yet... for some reason it just doesn't sink in. I have to write an 8-10 page paper on God and the Old Testament. Normally I don't mind these types of papers... but this one has got me really stumped. I'm hoping that by blogging it will loosen the muscles a little and something will strike me.
This weekend felt rushed. Friday we had the squirt, but I ran a couple errands. Saturday we had fun and went to the Littleton History Museum/Littleton Farm. It was neat. In the museum building they had a photography exhibit. Then, in the historical areas we got to see some neat photos of old Littleton. Neato. Then we headed outside to the farms. There was an 1860s farm and an 1890s farm. The 1860s farm had an original little house that was soo cool. And there were animals. The squirt loved seeing everything. There were real turkeys, chickens, donkeys, a cow, sheep, a ram and even babies - LAMBS!! OMG they were so freakin cute. I think there were around 6-8 black ones just wobbling around. We tried to feed the cow, but she wasn't all that interested. Then on the 1890 side there was a blacksmith making a grill fork that would later be sold in the gift shop. Neat, huh? The squirt liked seeing all the tools and introduced himself to everyone and everything. He's so darn cute. After that we walked over to the library where he and dad picked out some books. I had to get a couple for this dang paper. Then we came home and the kid took a nap. I then rushed out to get a massage from my chiropracter's office while I still have insurance. It felt wonderful. Then I ran to Target. Seriously, I shouldn't be allowed in that store alone. Ever. Anyways... that night was very low key. Daddy and I got some dinner and watched the first 3 episodes of Season 2 of Dexter. I am hooked on this show people. It's crazy.
Today has been... uneventful. Daddy and I read a chapter from this book I picked up at the library. We are going to make sure and read a book together at least one day a week. I have a whole list of books that have been recommended in class, so we'll be busy for a few months.
Anyways... so here I am. I watched the Oscar's tonight. I have to say, it was actually entertaining. I don't recall the last time I watched the whole thing. But it was good.
Dang.. I can't believe it's the last week of February. Ugh. I start a new class on Tuesday. I'm a little nervous but anxious at the same time. My past two professors haven't been all that great, and this one coming up has quite a reputation for being THE BEST. Super. Alright. I'm going back in. Wish me some luck. Say a prayer. Send good vibes. Whatever... just pass it all along please.
Gracias.
