Alot on my mind but nothing to talk about.

I havent posted in awhile beacuse I have nothing good to say (again). However I have been reading all of your blogs. I have been searching for my happy. No idea what it looks like, but I will find it soon.

Happy Halloween!

Check out my pumkin carving skills!

I hope you are all having a great Halloween!

Halloween meal idea... for you

http://www.notmartha.org/archives/2009/10/27/meat-hand/

You can thank my mom for finding that one. Now I really don't like meatloaf. Maybe you could eat that and watch Sweeney Todd on Halloween.

Ewww.

Just thought I would share that :)

My mom is in the hospital this week for her last treatment! Yay!

Just in case I don't post again... I hope you all have a safe and fun Halloween! I think the boyfriend and I will be staying in and watching some fun Tim Burton movies he has never seen.

Interview fun

I had an interview yesterday. I made sure my hair was as perfect as it could be, considering I haven't cut it in about 6 months (maybe more). My make-up looked good, and I had picked out a professional looking outfit ...not easy considering most of my wardrobe is denim. I felt confident as I walked in 10 minutes early to check in as they requested... then I sat. I sat for an hour and 20 minutes past my interview appointment.

They lost my application. How do you loose an application that was submitted online? Thankfully I brought a copy of my resume along. It was kind of nice actually seeing someone read my resume, especially since I have heard that resumes are usually just glanced at. After asking me a grand total of 2 questions, the interviewer let me know that the only jobs open were for seasonal which is fine... I will take just about anything. So I guess if they like my resume, they will be calling me for yet another interview...Wish me luck.

As a side note... I noticed a majority of people in line for their interview were dressed nice, but there were a couple of people wearing tennis shoes, t-shirts, and jeans. What do you think is appropriate interview apparel? I have always been told that you dress for the job you want, so I checked out what the employees where wearing a few days before my interview and dressed accordingly.

*Thanks blogger for the weird format.*

Updates!

This is a tiny sneak peek of things to come! That is all I am saying about that for now...

I stayed and helped my grandma for 2 and a 1/2 days. I drove her to and from the hospital twice a day to see my grandpa. It turns out a few weeks ago my grandpa had some dental work done, and it sounds like it didn't go too well. His tooth has been aching for weeks now and he doesn't want to eat because it hurts so bad. He is already taking a handful of pills every day, but because of the dental work he had a few others he was taking.

He was extremely dehydrated so that in combination with his meds and pain pills caused his kidneys to fail. When he arrived at the hospital they took him off of all of the meds and managed to get his kidneys functioning normally again. Yay! Aside from my grandpa being in the hospital it was really nice spending time with my grandparents.

A few fun things about my grandparents:

They got married when she was 15 and he was 18

They have 4 kids together and 3 were born on holidays

I was born on my grandma's birthday (she says I was the best present ever)

My grandma and grandpa in the middle shortly after they were married. Aren't they cute?!

I hope you are all having a great week!

P.S. thank you guys for the encouragement. I really appreciate it!

Tough stuff

Well... I am officially jobless. I have applied to about 15 places so far, but my search will just have to wait a few days. My grandpa is in the hospital so I will be gone for a few days helping my grandma get around. I don't know a whole lot about what happened, but my grandma says my grandpa has been really out of it for the past couple of days. She went to wake him up the other morning and said that he "looked like death warmed over". He apparently had kidney failure, and I have no idea what else....

I won't be on the net until I get back home.

Job Applications...

Man oh man. I really don't like filling out job applications. This is my last week and I still don't have a new job lined up! (Gah!!)

I have been looking for a part-time job in a smaller retail store, and still haven't had any luck. I know the market is down...but hey I'm trying!

In other news... I did some sewing this weekend and went to visit my parents this weekend for my dad's birthday. My mom is doing well and should be starting her chemo again any day now.

How are you guys?! Did you have a fabulous weekend?!

Any suggestions for work?
