Energy

Yesterday I put some positive energy out into the universe (after Matthew pointed out, yet I again, I was being super negative). So I completed and updated a few applications, e-mailed some principles and was feeling pretty good about it. I also discovered I can do part of my online training, without doing anything, just pressing play every few hours. Is that cheating? So I'm feeling really good, motivated, positive, great...

Matt and I saw Eclipse, loved it : ) I think Bella got hotter. Everyone else got less extreme, Edwards - not such a creeper, Jacob - not as big/ridiculous, Emmet - also not as big as I remember, Alice - not so weird... you get the idea. It's like Friends, in the first few seasons everyone was really weird and different, then they tone it down later. The theater was still packed! and this was 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon. We actually moved seats because this annoying group of kids sat behind us. (but really its standard practice for us to move seats because people annoy us, either by talking, or sitting unnecessarily close, or sitting right in front of you so you can't put your feet up... I hate people...) Overall a great experience though. Glad I got to see it with Matthew. Still very much TEAM JACOB!... though I have a feeling that's not going to work out.

During the movie, due to all the positive energy I put out there : ) I get a phone call for a pre-screen phone interview. So exciting!! Not for the job I've been hoping for, but I'm getting desperate, and upon further investigation, it seems like a great job at a great company. Hopefully I'll get a real interview in the next week or so.

Then, Ugh, I'm driving to work and I get pulled over by a motorcycle cop who saw my registration tag is expired. I tell him I have renewed it, I just never got the new tag. He can't look it up because motorcycle cops don't have computers, and he gives me the ticket anyway. Fine. Then I call the registration people, they look up my account and tell me I never renewed it and I should check my credit card statement to make sure I actually paid for it, sometimes it get rejected for various reasons. How am I supposed to check a bank statement from 9 months ago... so annoying, what to do now. I KNOW I paid for it back in November. I'm always so on top of these kinds of things. I remember asking my dad if he'd seen it in the mail.

The dogs have discovered they can pretty easily get the lid off the trash can and dig stuff out of the trash. I've had this trash can and these dogs for almost two years with no problem until the last few weeks. Whats the deal? I've never been a fan of trash can in the pantry, but I guess that's whats next. At least Rascal is eating again. I think the antibiotics they are on are giving him an upset tummy. I skipped his morning dose and he cleaned his bowl tonight. Freckles always cleans his bowl, and Rascal's too if he get a chance.

Happy Birthday Gramma!!

Gaining Ground

At the eye doctor with Matthew, he hates it so much, so weird. There is this super type A mom here with her three teenage-ish children. She's made me realize I need to tone down my type A-ness so I'm not sitting in some waiting room in 20 years micromanaging every aspect of my almost adult children's lives. Yikes!

I got to leave work early today, a much needed break, hopefully I'll get to catch up on a few things. I'm feeling overwhelmed by my ever growing to do list. But I'll probably just hang out with Matthew and see Eclipse, finally.

Nothing else new to report really. Still job hunting. Still waiting on my sample save the dates to come in. Still trying to get the hotel
organized.

Check out the wedding blog, I'm doing this instead of The Knot. Not much on there yet but more coming soon : )

Rain and Pain

For the past 36 hours I've had the worst headache ever. I tried a million things... meds, water, caffeine, beer, sleep... nothing helped. I've finally found some relief through keeping myself distracted and sinus pressure meds. I think I irritated my sinuses by dusting... I'm also working 11 days in a row, tying not to complain because I could use the overtime pay and I have two long weekends on either side of the stretch. Work has been emotional lately. We've had some really sad cases and I'm always glad to come home to my happy healthy puppies, even if they are trouble makers. I'm also struggling with the fact that I may not find a teaching job this year, and my plan to "stick it out" until August is turning into "stick it out" for another year, no thank you.

My save the date project is in full swing. I even created a wedding blog lovedenwedding.blogspot.com to put on the announcements so friends and family can find out all about wedding stuff, registry, etc.

Going to see Eclipse tonight! super exited! hope there aren't a million stupid little girls running around.
