Five for Friday

1. I really hate Walmart. I discovered this last week I think. THEN I WENT BACK!! Today. To return $3.87 worth of items. It cost me more than $3.87 in time. But then I would have had to store the stuff. I think it will be a while before I'm back in that consumer un-friendly store again. Hopefully.

2. I have been asked to work every Friday in February by the clinic by my house. Good and Bad. I took off the last Friday because we're having a family wedding, and my in-laws will be at my house. I have gone from a 2 day a week worker to a 3 day a week worker. I think it will interfere with my scrapbooking-cardmaking-nap taking-Sunday-School-lesson-writing-exercising whatever. I really like this job I have. The bosses are wonderful, the commute isn't bad to either clinic, and it's really well organized and well ran. If I have to work three whole days, at least my time is spent doing what I enjoy in offices that I enjoy.

3. It is kind of funny to see J working with mostly women in his new office. "Daesha they talk about each other. Alot." He said this after his first week at work. Um, yes, sweetie. We do that. And it's not all nice. Just stay above the fray. His boss has been out this week, and that hasn't helped the testosterone levels in the office. Hopefully next week will go better. Less talking about each other (and him) and more getting stuff done. It's hard to work with women, sometimes.

4. I posted a dresser on Craigs*List last week. It sold in 30 seconds. I'm serious. Now, if anyone out there would like a nice corner desk with a hutch, I've got one for sale. . .

5. I'm trying to decide what room I could paint a light turquoise. My friend is painting her kitchen a gorgeous color, and I totally want to copy that paint color. I am pretty sure, however, that all major rooms are out. Maybe laundry room? Closet? Linen closet? Pantry? (That might be interesting. . .)

6. (I know it says five, but I just remembered this.) I am starting to check out my chicken recepies for my sister-in-law (and the rest of the Seattle crew) to make sure they're good and I remember how to fix them. SIL is a poletarian - only eats chicken. I think it sounds like she belongs to a certain political party, but it's a food label. Last time she visited, I forgot this and accidentally fixed a (yummy) roast. It did not go unnoticed that she just ate the veggies and went to bed. I will not make that mistake this time. Any good chicken recepies out there that I can try?

When Did That Happen? And Other Musings

This is my Five for Friday, but I needed to ask a question of myself, and hopefully get an answer. Hmmm.

1. I think I'm getting to be an adult. At least, I am more adult than not these days. I actually had a converstaion about fiber in breakfast cereal last week. And said it was awesome. *sigh* But the cereal itself is really, really good, is that a mitigating circumstance? FiberOne Autumn Harvest is worth picking up. Yummy and full of fiber. Awesome. *sigh*

2. At what point does one just throw in the towel and resign? Probably when one has another job lined up, for starters. Some really petty things are happening at work. When my manager came to me to discuss how these things would be impacting me (and only me), she shrugged when I asked her what she wanted me to do, how she wanted me to work. Shrugged! Yeah, dusting off the resume. Perhaps.

3. I get to see AB next weekend. I am so excited. Of course more pictures to come from that trip. I made all my Bunko friends endure photos of her last night. Thanks O and K for the cute photo album. I get almost as many compliments on that as I do of her.

4. I can confidentally say that I can fix and serve 150 servings of spaghetti with bread and cookies. That is the equivalent of 5 of the LARGE pans of spaghetti. I can also confidentally say that it is way more fun with a friend, and that I do not want to eat spaghetti for a long time.

5. The most important news: Jeremy had a pre-interview this week that was promising. He's supposed to hear from the company themselves sometime soon to set up a *real* interview. He knows a little bit about where the job is and what he would be doing. The worksite is not too terribly far from us, considering where we live, and it seems to be something he would enjoy doing. Please be praying for the doors to open if that's what is in God's plan. And as much as it hurts me, if this isn't in God's plan, we don't want the doors opened.

This time next week I hope to be snuggling a baby! Yeah! And I just realized last night that my target date for taking my boards is 6 weeks away. Gulp. I gotta get cracking!
