Unemployment DOES NOT mean vacation . . . Did you know???

This week has FLOWN by! And NOT in a good way!!!
Okay, in some ways, it was good!
Monday was a mess . . . emotionally! I don't like going through the grieving process over a job . . . but, guess what, people!! It happens, and it WILL happen to anyone who is confronted with a HUGE change such as losing a job!
Tuesday . . . started the day with baby-sitting niece and nephews . . . they are fun! I worked on revamping my resume, while they played and watched a movie. The rest of the day is kinda a blur!!
Wednesday . . . my computer, that I bought from my former employer, was ready! So, we picked it up, took it home, got it all set up, and then . . . it wouldn't boot up! AARRGH!! So, it was back to Tempe, with the computer, and the IT guy made it work. So, back to the house, set it up again, and STILL . . . NO DICE!! But, I DID get my new cell phone (number is still the same, don't worry!!) and the Broadband modem for internet at home! Woo hoo!!!
Thursday . . . took the computer BACK to the office, and Scott worked his magic (he can't explain it himself!!) and it worked! YAY!!!!
Then, I had a phone call late Thursday afternoon, and it was for a job interview for Friday morning. Early . . . oh well, not like my body has been letting me sleep in, anyway!!
I had NO time to color my hair (unfortunately, my "natural" color is now MOSTLY GREY!! EWWWWWW!) because I had to go shopping for my cousin's (Tiffany) baby shower, with her sister. But, after much heckling from Megan and DeAwna, I colored my roots myself! NO, I am NOT a hairdresser, but they looked a LOT better, and surprisingly, my attitude was more youthful, too! LOL
Friday morning, EARLY {like 1:45 am early} I woke up . . . no clue why!!! And, then couldn't sleep well for the rest of the night! But, I got to my appointment 30 minutes early, sat there for 15 minutes, and then went in. I think it went well, but they did say that they had more interviews to conduct. We'll see what happens next week . . . that would be a sweet gig!!
The rest of the day I spent making cupcakes and other food . . . just call me Betty Crocker Jr!!
Today, Saturday, was CRAZY! My internal alarm clock went off an HOUR before the actual alarm clock . . . GRRRRRRR! But, after a half an hour, I quit trying to fight it and got up to do some housework before going to my aunt's to prepare for the baby shower! {Oh, and I will mention that I was at Scrapbooks, Etc. until 11:30 pm, working on my gift . . . photos later!!}
Thank goodness for Tiffany and her daughters . . . they showed up and jumped right in to help with frosting cupcakes and cutting vegetables. We NEVER would have been ready on time! Love you girls! Actually, we wouldn't LET Tiffany help . . . she's prego, and the shower is supposed to be FOR her, not BY her!!
Anyway, it all came together nicely . . . we had REAL, home-made lemonade, a chocolate fountain, fabulous spinach dip, cheese ball and crackers and fruit and vegetables, and . . . did I mention the chocolate fountain?? LOVE chocolate!!
The weather wasn't QUITE as cooperative as we had hoped . . . It was actually 10 degrees hotter than the forecast had said, LAST week, for today! But, we didn't quite roast . . . the light breeze and the cold lemonade kept us sane.
It's funny {interesting, not "ha ha ha"} to me that EVERY year I have to be reminded how draining the heat and sun can be . . . by the end of the shower, I felt like someone had backed a Mac truck over me . . . bring on the day of rest!!!
