Hey Buddies!  How the heck are you all doing?  I am hanging in there.  I am beginning to wonder though if not finding a new job is fate or something.  Saw a post in Sunday’s paper that I would be perfect for, but to apply you have to send in your resume.  Not a problem normally.  BUT my computer at home is a crappy laptop and I can’t print from it.  Doesn’t even have Microsoft word on it so I can’t even access my resume from that computer.  No problem, I will go to the library.  Went in yesterday and had to renew my library card.  Okay, that’s done, go over the computers and open my resume, get the paper out to put in the printer and then I find out that they don’t just let anybody do that.  You have to wait till the computer guy comes in.  He wasn’t going to be in for a few hours and I had a lunch date with my step-mom.  By the time lunch was done the computer guy was gone for the day.  UGH!  On to plan C.  Get up early this morning and come down to my moms to use her computer.  Get all logged on only to find that Hotmail is down for maintainence.  That’s where I have my resume stored so I can access it from anywhere.  It has now been down for at least two hours….I am going crazy and thinking that it must be fate that I can’t apply for this job!! 

 Let’s see…what else is new?  Not too much.  I have been getting my exercise in, but I haven’t been logging my calories like I should.  I have been getting in my vitamin, but have been lax on drinking my water.  The good thing about being home means that I am much more active during the day than I am sitting at a desk for 8 hours.

I miss all my buddies.  I miss you all terribly.  We were supposed to get our new laptop today, but now it looks like it might be tomorrow.  *sighs*

 Nancy, Nick, and Kama, I saw the emails flying about yesterday and I think we are on the right path.  I just couldn’t respond and it doesn’t look like today will be a good time to try either.

As for the rest of my tribe and teammates, I think of you every day and pray that you are all doing well.

Gotta go check the forums out now

 Have a great Tuesday!

Hey buddies!  I think it has been about a week since I blogged and I wanted to catch you up on where I’m at in life.  Still no progress on the job front, but I am continuing to keep up hope.  I just talked to my boss today and she said that business is picking up and she may be able to bring me back soon.  Finacially that would be great, but now that I had time to step back and assess my job, I’m not sure that it is one I want to go back to.  So for now it is a race against time.  Either I will find a job or she will call me back.  If I can find a job before she is ready to have me back that would be a good thing because if she calls me back, and I go, then I will get comfortable there again.  I will continue to be her crutch, continue to be taken advantage of, and continue in a dead end job with no real growing potential.  *Sigh*  I should just be lucky that I have a job that I know I will be able to go back to eventually.  My good buddy, Jane, sent me a card the other day that I keep next to the computer that says “Sometimes you just got to forget it all and dance.”  I try to take her advice at least once a day.  If not with dancing then with something that will lift my spirits.

I have’t been able to run as hard or as fast as I would like since I injured my knee on Sunday.  I wouldn’t be so upset about that, but it was a stupid injury and I hate those.  See, I got the bike out for the first time this season on Sunday and while trying to pull out, I kinda lost control a bit and headed for a telephone pole.  LOL.  Had to get the bike stopped somehow and so my knee took the beating for my stupidity.  At least I kept it upright and missed the telephone pole.

My father in law is doing well with his cancer, all things considered.  He goes to meet with the radiologist on Monday and it is looking like he won’t need chemo!  So we are all very happy about that.

I’m sorry I haven’t been around as much as I thought I would.  Turns out that internet access at home wasn’t my only problem.  My computer is a piece of crap as well.  If there are too many pages in the forums it freezes up and won’t let me in.  If there are too many comments on blogs or the blog is too long, it decides to deny me access.  So I have been doing what I can…and that is very limited.  Tim came home with some good news though…he should have a used (but practically new) laptop in my hands by next Tuesday.  Most times it is a pain in the arse living in a town where he grew up, but sometimes it pays off when he “knows people.”  This is one of those times.  LOL

Wildcats Weigh In is tomorrow and I know that the team is ready.  I can feel it in my bones!  I would like to lose something again this week, but will be okay if that doesn’t happen.  I got a “new to me” pair of jeans and a really cute shirt at Salvation Army the other day.  Can’t wait to wear it out on Saturday night. 

Well buddies, I better stop there before my puter gets a bug up its butt and kicks me out once again.  I swear it is worse than a woman when TOM is visiting…

Hello to all my wonderful buddies!!  Just wanted to give a shout out to you to let you know that I’m back.  Well, kinda.  See, I was going through some major withdrawals so I had Tim go to the mall last night and buy me an air card for our laptop.  So now I have internet access at home, but the laptop is old and it takes forever to load!!!  BUT, I can still get my buddyslim fix and that is all that matters.  That, and finding a job.  I still haven’t found one yet.  Haven’t even had any offers.  Granted, I only started looking on Monday and I’m impatient.  LOL.  But my spirits are good and I will get through. :)  Thanks to all of you that commented on my last blog, sent boosters, prayers, thoughts, and good luck wishes.  They have meant the world to me and helped carry me through this past week.  My father-in-law is doing well with his cancer.  He has to get another CT scan done and then he will decide if he is going to treat it aggressively right away or just have them watch it closely.  His attitude though is amazing and he continues to amaze me. :)  Speaking of my FIL, he came up to the house today and is going to help me plant a garden!!  I have never done anything like it before and I’m super excited.  It’s going to be HUGE!  Cantalopes, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, peas, green beans, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, spinach…and something else, but I can’t think of what right now.  WOOHOO!!!  Well, I have lots of catching up to day and a few more resumes to send out today so I gotta be going.  But let me tell ya…it sure feels good to be back!

 Love,

Anj
