Hump day...

{one} if you won a trip to Disneyland/world, who would you take with you?Brew. We're like big kids, we'd have a blast :)

{two} when was the last time you listened to a CD?Not that long ago, a few weeks probably.

{three} what spice/seasoning is your favorite?Garlic :)

{four} if you were in a band, what kind of music would you play?
Probably country or bluegrass. It's what I grew up on :)

{five} if you could have personally witnessed one historical event, which one would it be?Oh gosh. I have no idea. Maybe the lunar landing?

{six} if you could go back to school, what would you study?I'm happy with my career choice. If I had to pick something else, I probably would've gone into nursing or something like that.

{seven} if you could go to one sporting event, all expenses paid, which one would you see?I'd like season tickets to WVU football for free lol.

{eight} do you drive an automatic or a manual?I drive an automatic (both our current cars are automatics). Brew has taught me to drive a manual but I don't feel comfortable yet.

{nine} are you comfortable speaking in front of people?No, well not adults. I'm comfortable with kids.

{ten} have you ever experienced an earthquake?Nope. WV doesn't get many of those lol.

3rd time is a charm...

Third post of the day, nuts!

Anyway, this is just for Top 2 Tuesday!!!




Top 2 Celebrity Hairstyles...


1. Martina McBride

I swear this woman can wear her hair anyway and still look gorgeous. She pulls it all off, really short and really long either one! This one is my favorite of hers though. :)



2. Kelly Clarkson
(yes, I realized I picked two phenomenal singers, but really that wasn't planned LOL)

I love this haircut, and have thought about cutting mine similar, but I know my hair wouldn't look like this if I did cut it like that. Well maybe it would if I had my own stylist :-p

Help with dog training...

Just a quick one...

To let you know how my interview went yesterday. I felt good about it, she made me feel comfortable and I didn't stammer or anything too awfully bad lol. I still am afraid to hope for the job. I've been praying that if it's in God's will that I get this job. But we shall see. Of course driving away I thought of a few things I should've mentioned. That drives me NUTS. *sigh* Oh well. She said she should have her decision made by the end of the week, so I'm betting if I don't hear by Friday, Monday, or Tuesday that I didn't get it. Keep praying though! I also applied for a gifted position (the one I'm subbing in now) I don't think anyone else in the county has their certification so I suppose I stand a decent shot at getting it. And just like the library position I will get my certification if it means I can get a job (or at least take the required amount of classes to work on a temp certification-- until I can transfer to a regular ed. position!) So that's that! Annnnd I need to get my things together and head to my first school for the day. (I'm at the gifted center now working on stuff) See ya tonight for Top 2 Tuesday! (Hopefully)

Job update

Well, Brew's interview went well-- the only downside is that all employees start out at $9/hour. ($3.75 less than what he's making now). With the extra ten minute drive time there-- we can't afford the paycut. Eventually he can work his way up to 15 or so, but who knows how long that'd take. Not to mention, benefits don't kick in until after 90 days. Which is going to be expensive since we're trying to make a baby. So if they do offer the job, he's going to ask for 12/hour and if they can't then he'll have to decline. Bummer.

I guess now we'll see how my interview goes on Monday... not holding my breath though. I got excited about previous interviews only to be disappointed. So I'm not counting on this-- I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed!

We've had a pretty lazy Saturday. We gave Duke a much needed bath. I say "we" because it turned into a 2-person job!!! (Needless to say, he is NOT fond of baths!) And here in a little while we're heading to Brew's granny's for a family get-together for Brew's cousin Macey's birthday! :)

Randomness

I'm sitting here in my pjs and robe, drinking some chai tea, and having a hard time getting my thoughts together. Thus, the bulleted list:

• Today is Friday!!! *yay*
  
  
• Brew's job interview is today. *prayers please!*
  
  
• I got a call yesterday from Criss Elementary. A few weeks back they lifted a freeze on a library position there. Mind you, I'm not certified but heck if they'll give me a full time job (and the tuition assistance) then I will get it! But nobody that applied had their library certification so I have a chance! I interview after school on Monday!!! Prayers are appreciated again, I'm trying not to get too excited- as I've had three other interviews last year for various positions and didn't get a job. But maybe this is the answer to my prayers. I don't know- I'm just telling myself that if it's the right job God wants me to have then I will get it-- if not he has something else in mind!
  
  
• I finished reading the last Twilight book. Yeah I know I'm a little behind. It took me a while before I jumped on that bandwagon. Overall I thought the books were good- not necessarily living up to all the hype (I mean, they are NO Harry Potter lol)- but good still. Breaking Dawn (the final book) is probably my least favorite, though I can't pinpoint why... Anyway, I'm in need of a new book to read now. Any suggestions???
  
  
• Brew and I are considering purchasing a new (or new to us) vehicle. We currently have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee (which I loooooove-- even though it only gets about 16mpg in town). We are still paying on it, we just bought it last August. We also have a 2002 Chevy Malibu, which was mine before we got married. It is paid for, so we aren't paying payments on it. It does fairly well on gas (upper 20s) so Brew drives it to work since he drives farthest. It is still running decently, but there is a leak somewhere and it takes in water everytime it rains. The check engine light is also on (and has been for quite some time) because of some evaporative emissions thing? No idea. Not to mention, it's got over 120,000 miles on it. Soooo we are thinking of possibly trading for a very fuel efficient car (Like maybe a VW Jetta, or a Ford Fiesta-- Brew does want a manual transmission). I just want to keep the payments relatively LOW and I don't want to take longer than a 3-year loan term. So we'll see. We probably won't do anything just yet, but if Brew were to get this job, or if I were to get a job, then we could afford it. So we're keeping our eyes and minds open to the idea.
  
  
• I made a new dish last night. I bought these rice noodles from Wal-Mart. It was actually made for making Pad Thai, because the noodles came with the tangy-ish Pad Thai sauce. Rather than making the traditional Pad Thai, I skipped the egg, tofu, and bean sprouts, and instead added chicken and frozen stir fry veggies. It was yummy-- definitely a repeat! That's about the only "new" dish I've tried recently. I'd love your recipe ideas!!!
  
  
• So glad it's Friday. This weekend, plans include a relatively lazy Saturday morning. Though I'm planning on hitting up the grocery store and J&Js Bridal (I have GOT to send my wedding dress in to be preserved. Mom paid for it/bought the kit for me for Christmas and I still have yet to send it in). Then in the evening, we're going to Brew's grandma's for his cousin's (early) birthday party (Pizza, cake, & games with the family!) Then Sunday it's the usual church & clogging practice.
  
  

Alrighty well I think that's about it for today. Adios!

Planning Period = blog time!

...at least when you are a sub lol.

So, some good news, Brew has a job interview for a plant in Ravenswood (about 40 min drive from our house now). It's tomorrow afternoon. I'm excited for him. I hope it pans out, he's getting burnt out w/his job now and just wants a career. I hope this can be it for him. He's looking at almost twice what he gets paid now, so that's obviously good. We'll see though. Again, trying not to get too pumped before we even know how it will go. But I'll definitely be praying he has a good interview!!!

Well the 70 degree weather is gone and replaced by some much more seasonable 40-50 degree weather. Blah. I'm so over winter weather and READY to not have to wear a coat. And to wear capris and flip-flops.

Brew & I are going out tomorrow night for dinner. We need a date night, and I have a coupon for Olive Garden. Mmmm...

Alrighty well that's all for now!
