The nothing is coming!

There's nothing like getting over the hump of nothing. After a week of nothing, it's nice to finally have the weekend here to unwind and do nothing. Next week I'll probably wet myself in anticipation of having no paycheck for a third straight week but hey, is life worth living with dry trousers?
Emma is learning how to sleep but seems really frustrated by her inability to crawl. We're thinking of seeing a specialist. By the way don't tell me how Harry Potter ends. I'm one of the retards who's holding out for the movies to answer all my questions.
I hate being away from everyone I knew. When you're not really close to anyone, you miss that annoying daily interaction you had with everyone you took for granted. (Yes, even you Mom) Beulah was great except for having 45 seconds to say hi to everyone and then having someone else you hadn't seen in five years want to greet you. It made for some pretty abrupt and shallow reunions. I have one Canadian regret. No one brought a directory to the lighter.

Ho Hum

Well, I'm definitely under qualified to work at anything I want to work at. But I also do not want to go back to school. What I am qualified for I can't find a job in. I think they call that a conundrum. Cheryl's Cookies does not have a future for me.
I love eating in unexpected ways. Tonight we ate with a friend and pieced together a really great meal. Fresh veggies, entree from a restaurant using a gift certificate and dessert a combination of restaurant cheesecake, fresh fruit and store bought whipped cream. And blood orange pop for a treat. The whole meal was amazing.
Gotta go. Laurie needs her touches. Philippians 1:9-11

The Enemy

Well the paper yielded three prospects. Catering, printing and working for Cheryl's Cookies. She started a company some twenty years ago and sold to 1800 flowers.com for millions. I have no such aspirations. Just to own a small little place.
I am in serious need of help in the computing area. I just can't navigate the web or job sites or certain programs with any confidence. It's tough admitting you're a moron. I'm good at other things though. Trivia, back rubs, watching TV.
Really want to see Superbad. Any thoughts?

Check, please.

Did you ever notice when you really want something to happen, it takes forever? Whether it's a job offer, a first step, or a gut-clearing belch. This is day one of the job search. I'm still in my wake up clothes so nothing concrete is happening yet. I have set up my interview for the opportunity at step by step academy for next Tuesday. That's teaching kids with autism. Today I will grab an application for Target, go online for a Giant Eagle opportunity and grab a newspaper to look for jobs of interest. Also get the break fluid topped off and maybe dick around a bit.
The last dime a dog night of July is tonight at our local ballpark so I might go there. Nothing better than cheap hot dogs and bringing in a cheap soda you bought at a gas station.
Emma is almost 8 months old and becoming sweeter everyday. Hi to everyone we saw in Canada and hope to reconnect down here if possible.
Positives: Canadian Oreos, the new Harry Potter flick, lunch meetings with executive pastors.
Negatives: Days between reading your book, repeats, hemmorhoids.

Deadbeat Dad

So this is officially Day 1 of unemployment. Two days till vacation and no worries, but in the meantime I sorta hafta look for work. After vacation there will be daily blog updates as to my progress or lack thereof. I would do it on facebook but the blog is nearer and dearer to my heart. Boos to the Next Food Network Star for wanting their next star to be a minority or a woman and not the most qualified person. The girls sucked on camera. Plus the stuff they're spewing about how none of them ever screw up? Bull.
Positives: emma's eight hour sleeps, footlongs and playoffs
Negatives: Missing the dogs, no paychecks, post-nasal drip
