So far I've been rejected from one job today and my resume is pending with another.  Should I be hopeful?

I can't answer that.  I'm trying to keep my head up.  Actually, getting a reply at all is progress.  I should be thrilled.

Mostly, I am not feeling very well today.  I just have a cold.  I could be perfectly functional if I had to, and since I'm going to work tomorrow I will be.

I've been thinking about the summer and the warm weather and yearning for it.  I've even been thinking about the beach lately, which is amazing considering that I don't even like the beach.  I just want to feel the warmth on my skin, the sun shining on my head.  I want to feel... warm and relaxed.  I've been thinking that in a few months I will be married.  I want to start my life already.  I really do love him.  Sun, warmth, beach, Rich.

I feel like I'm starting off all my entries lately by apologizing for not blogging.  Well not today!  I've been busy, so I haven't written.

I've been applying for jobs like crazy and have only been contacted by what are probably scams from craigslist.  I've started looking for on monster.com because I feel like monster is more... reliable and more... real.  People hiring from monster are not individuals, but businesses.  I think that is probably the way to go.

As far as updates of my life?  There really isn't anything new.  Nothing new has happened in regards to my wedding.  We are again in limbo.  I think we've found the people we want to use, minus a videographer (we haven't met with the recommended one yet), but we've yet to actually book anyone.  I guess we have to move on to the next step.  Tomorrow, I am calling the DJ to find out exactly what the next step is.  How do we proceed?

I have to send out my save the date cards.  I've gotten a bunch of addresses, but not all of them.  I have been waiting for all of them, but maybe that is not necessary.  I think this week I'm going start mailing them out, get the ball rolling.

I've got to get the bridesmaids to buy their dresses....

Dear Blog,

I applied for a job.  It's a job that would be perfect for me at this moment in my life.  I might not have the qualifications to be an executive, but I can be a good assistant, or receptionist, or hostess.  These are skills that I have picked up over the years working in my current job.  I'd be good at this job.  I just need a chance to prove it.

On another note...

Today at work was hard.  I hurt my back while I was sleeping and I can't really move.  It's unfortunate since I teach children's gym classes.  Teaching gymnastics while not being able to move...  Now that's dedication I tell ya!  I also thought my coworker's jokes were unnecessary and were starting to get on my nerves by the time class was over.

Yet another note...

Any ideas for weekend activities?  I was thinking about ice skating, but seeing as how at the moment I can't even turn my head, it might not be the best idea.  I would like to go to one of those places where you paint pre-made pottery.  I find it relaxing.  Then again, I would find it more relaxing to actually make the pottery pieces.  All these things are rather expensive though.  If it were warmer we could take a walk, maybe even go on a little hike.  There could be a picnic waiting for us when we reached our destination.  Fried chicken in a basket, freshly made warm buttermilk biscuits, cucumber salad, cool seltzer for Rich and a cool coke for me.  I don't know if that sounds like the most satisfying meal, but, hey, it's good for a picnic.  I've never had a real picnic, I don't know if I would even want one... all those ants...

Rich just got here, so I'm going to go pay attention to him now.

Bye Blog!
