Have you asked her "HOW" she could let this happen? Seems like she subconsciously wanted it to...with the miscarriages and thinking her clock is ticking...I hardly think this was an accident.

Sierra has her first interview at 4pm today! At lunch time I helped her pick the perfect outfit (awww...she looked so cute). Nails are a nice neutral color. Small hoop earrings. Hair neat. I told her the main thing is to have confidence and smile. Start off with a firm handshake and sit up straight. Be prepared with a notebook in case you need to take notes. Write down the interviewers name (for the follow up thank you card)...and most of all...be pleasant and excited to be there. The last thing they want is some dopey kid with no personality! I think she's got this one down! :thumbsup

oh P.S. I tried watching The L Word on Saturday night, just couldn't do it....(?)

I'm certain that Sierra will land this job...keeping my squirrelly fingers crossed!

Hewwo!

Jingos Mama, your work-mate there doesn't sound like the sharpest pencil in the box. I concur... try and step back from it m'dear... you don't need her drama rubbing off on you. Think "cooties"! :l

Fingers crossed for Sierra Niner! Sounds like she's well prepared on what she needs to do! )

Glad you got some sleep Nora... I'm often sleep deprived and it's horrid... :l

Sounds like you're having fun Fen! "Having Fun Fen"... say that 6 times really fast! Pix pliz!

:wavin: to the rest of the gang!

Well... I started a 7 Day Juice Fast today. Startingover did it last week and she talked me into it. She lost 6 lbs and feels great. Maybe Day 1 is the roughest (now that I think of it, isn't it always! LOL) 'cos I am feeling "flu-ey" and bloated and would like nothing better than some trail mix! I have a friend coming over for a little while tonight (wish it wasn't so to be honest) and I'm orf to me bed straight after.

I had a run-in with the Home Owners Association today which always leaves me upset. I know one of the board members pretty well and I hate having to disagree with her. The pressure washer guys ruined the vegetation in my front yard with spray from their chemicals (the front yard that Bill and I broke our humps re-doing 6 effin months ago...) and the HOA are being skinflints in coughing up to repair the damage. The arseholes even broke the bird bath. Happy I am not Yoda. AND I gave said arseholes my key to the pool bathroom to keep on them while they were here... no gratitude I tells ya!

Anyway, that's my moan du jour. I'm a cheerful one today huh?! NOT!!! :H

Hey everyone - gosh so much going on on this thread! I can barely keep up - Jan - is bri someone that you work with ?

K9 - good luck to Sierra with her interview - sounds like she has all the right guidance - should I know what she is going for an interview for - did I not read back properly? I thought she was still in school .....

Nora - so sorry about your dreams - very hard, I know ! It is 20 years for my dad this year and I STILL miss him terribly!

Not getting into the undies thing ..... LOL

Fen - so glad that you are having a good time. It seems to be flying by with you talking about coming home already .....

Jan - so sorry about your happenings - sounds like you have a lot going on right now. Hugs to you my friend :l:l

Pauly - glad that your daughter's birthday was fun and that she was surprised - how lovely- no-one has ever given me a surprise birthday party or anything - I am not sure how I would react to be honest!!!

Nora - glad that you got some sleep ! For some reason I woke up hourly - and would either trot to the bathroom or drink water ! then go back to sleep so don't feel too bad today! I seem to be drinking gallons of water these days .....

Dottie - we have our next round of snow tomorrow too - I am on the border of MO and IL and they keep changing how much we are supposed to get - has gone from 5" upwards, down to 3-4 total. Whatever - anything is better than the sleet and ice we had this weekend !

Have a wonderful evening everyone ....

hugs, Sun XXX

Don't want you to think I am ignoring you Zen - but I just saw your post after I posted !

Gosh - how awful about your garden! I would be up in arms too - trust me !!! Good for you with the juicefast - I always feel ill when I try and do anything like that ..... so don't do them!!!

Hugs to you, sun XX

Hiya Sunny...

Yeah, I'm a tad peeved about the garden... specially after putting all that work into it. I should imagine what is gonna happen is I will fix it out of my own pocket... really aggravating!

I must admit I'm not feeling so great on straight juices today. I've juiced for years but never just juices on their own without food. I'll watch "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" later to inspire me to keep on going... )

Hugs backatcha... XXX

I am bummed you didn't like The L Word. But that's ok

Hi Sunnibutt and Zennifer

Ready to go home and VEG......
I told Bri I would support her no matter what she decided, but that she needed to have her head in the game at work....

Mama, it sounds like you have a lot you are dealing with right now; a flaky coworker and aging parents or grandparents. I hope it all gets easier for you.

Fennel I had completely forgotten about the Three Lives of Thomasina! I can't wait to see if I can find it on Netflicks. And yes Bastet is an Egyptian goddess with the head of a cat.

Paulywogg I find exercise is so great for me I'm glad you are finding the time for it. I just joined a club last week. I had a month voucher and waited until the end of January so I could avoid all the NYE resolution people who last three weeks!

Nora I am glad you were able to sleep. At three weeks my sleep is getting better but I am still using sleep aids to help. I feel a little guilty and would like to stop them but I am trying to focus on one thing at a time so I don't fail at everything!

K9 how do you make almond milk? It sounds yummy with sugar and vanilla. How old is your daughter? Is this her first interview?

Zenstyle, I have tried to do a juice cleanse before but I never stopped drinking during it so I think it kind of defeated the purpose.

Here's to a good start to our first week in Febuary!

Zen - I know that you have no choice - but I will not use any sort of chemicals in my garden much to the chagrin of Hubs - we don't have a lawn - we have weeds. But I would rather have weeds than put down chemicals and poison the water supply and the birds and whatever happens to go through our garden including the fact that our dogs go out there too - and track whatever in ! He has never understood why I am so really definite about never using chemicals - he has no idea what they do !!!! Tried to explain, but he is a man .... what can I say ? :H:H

Jan - you never did say who Bri is - I assume that you work with her ? So what does it really have to do with you and why are you so upset? Sorry if I am being obtuse .....

Bastet - stop worrying about using sleep aids for now - you are dong so well - worry about the sleep stuff in a while !

need to go and sort the dogs dinner out in a minute -

Love, sun XXX

Wow so much going on here....hard to keep up.
Looked at condo lots today and a layout of the place and we were not impressed for the price. Drove by an existing one about 20 years old so hopefully we can get our realtor to show it to us later this week. I am so not looking forward to yard work etc. I can put my veggie garden in pots and it will be fine.
I am ready to sell dads house too. One of the renters, who is my friends daughter, emailed me t talk about not renewing her lease and I told her that if she leaves I am not renting to the other gals. I don't trust them to take care of the place like I did her and this renting thing has been more trouble than it has been worth.
So lots of potential changes ahead but I am ready, I think.....

Bri is my assistant manager Sun, and she announced today she is pregnant. She is the single mother or an 8 year old and needs another child like a hole in the head
off to get some dinner
Good job on three weeks Bastet
I understans how you feel about rentals Dottie

One Step at a Time – February 2014

I was sneaking on at work and had so much to comment on. Let me try to remember it all now....:H (cause my thoughts are so important)

Mama - seriously - in this day & age, having unprotected sex is just scary. Can't believe she did that enough that she isn't sure who the Father is. Remember, my cousin died last year from HIV.

Sunni - so wonderful to see you here. :l

Dottie - sounds like lots of changes.....but sounds like good changes.

Pauly - you are sounding good.

Bastet - how great that Fennel knew what your screen name was. Some people understand my screen name and it always surprises me but a happy surprise. (Old movies from the 30's, so not many people have seen them)

Zen - feel better.

Fen - I hope you are having a blast. I'm still looking forward to you coming back to California.

K9 - Anxiously awaiting the info about the interview. I hope that she was hired on the spot!!!

Glass - are you on vacation already?

Love & hugs to everyone & to everyone that I didn't name in here. I've been a little preoccupied. One of my kitties got locked in the house today (no litter box). She hid this morning and I couldn't find her so I imagine that I have a surprise somewhere. :H Haven't found it yet!

Hey all. I've been super busy. Coworker is on vacation so back to lots of overtime. Snowed yet again today, commute wasn't too bad though. EB and her fianc?e bought a town house on Saturday ! Celebrated SIL birthday yesterday. The days are just flying by. It's all good though. Good night all
