I don't have much of anything planned for the rest of the day, so I think I am going to make myself a sandwich or something to eat for lunch, then get the mess sorted out with my classes. My college makes us wait until a week before the semester begins to schedule any online classes. This means over a thousand people trying to get through the phone line at once - ugh! I am getting prepared so I can hopefully get what I want this week. Then I can relax for my Friday and pop in a movie or two tonight.!

Good luck with the courses. Sometimes, that can be the most stressful part of a semester. Also, thanks for the wonderful comments in your previous post. It seems that up here, everyone wants someone with an office admin degree/diploma. Of course, most of those also require you to be bilingual, too, but still, it's a start!
 
A little bad news on my part. My position ends tomorrow. Again, I will be jobless. My job search didn't stop when I received this position - as I knew it would only last for five or six weeks - however, I haven't heard a whole lot on that front. I've said it many times - it would be nice to finially have a consistent career position, but apparently I have very little going for me right now. The teaching market is saturated, I'm not bilingual - which eliminates about 90 percent of the government positions - and my teaching degree makes employers very uneasy to hire me... since they think I will leave at the first chance of a teaching opportunity. I have bills to pay!

Good luck on the continued job search.
 
Good afternoon everyone!

The weekend is nearly upon us. Only a few more hours of work and then we can all celebrate the second last weekend of August... Sounds crazy, does't it?! We had a bit of rain here this morning. Otherwise, it should be a comfortable day. The forecast seems to be making way for a warmer temperatures, too. I'm not complaining. There is still a month left of summer!

Kim and I don't really have any plans for the weekend. Although I have to volunteer tomorrow morning at league playoffs. That should only be a few hours, however. A few of my friends also want to golf tomorrow afternoon. I really want to, but I don't know if I can afford it. We'll see how much it will be.... It's always nice to get on the course!

In other news, my dad and brother were in Green Bay last night to watch the Packers put on yet another embarrassing display of preseason football. The starters look decent, but the second-string players look absolutely terrible. Hopefully they turn it around before the season begins. Only two more preseason games and then they all start to really count!

Oh, I purchased Bruce Springsteen tickets today! Kim and I would have went anyway, but my mom is a massive Springsteen fan and wants to see him as much as possible, so she is flying from the Sault in October to attend the concert with us. It's going to be a fantastic show! It took me a few minutes to get in, but I was able to purchase three general admission tickets. We're going to try and get as close as possible to the Boss!!

Well, time to get back to "work." Seeing as it is my last shift, I am taking it a little easy, but things are getting done... I hope you've all been enjoying your Friday!
 
Just stopping by real quick to let everyone know that on the Hallmark Channel, Martha Stewart Christmas show on! (12-1 pm central time).

I will be back in a little bit to catch up on here!
 
Coffee in my Santa mug, Santa Clause 2 on the tv, my mini led Christmas tree plugged in, and a pine scented candle burning. It's going to be a good afternoon.

Looks like Santa has a very keen interest in your mug.8-)
 
Long day today, promises to be longer tomorrow. I am contemplating that it is time to focus on finding a new job, I am so done with them. I won't bore you with my reasons, and I am thankful for having this job, but there is only so much stuff that you can be put through everyday just to be reminded you are just an insignificant number in the company's eyes. 2 more days until my next day off. Sorry for the little rant.

Hope today is better day for you.
 
The little one is all fine again! =]

Im not sure Im doing so much better....
My throat is still sore...Maybe worse than yesterday.
I was thinking I should try some Cognac this evening
At least, I will get some goodnight sleep... :lol:

Glad to your little one is feeling better! Hope you get to feeling better soon!
 
The Man of this house is coming home around midnight.
Haven't seen him since Tuesday. And he have four days off.
It's going to be good! =]

HAPPY MERRY WEEKEND everybody! ♥

Enjoy your weekend and the time with your hubby!
 
I think I'm starting to show signs of ADD. I'm trying to get some work done on my computer but I can't concerate on it. I just keep bouncing around doing other things. I really need to get what I'm working on done though.

Christmas-A-Holic- Are you done at the doctor's yet? I need you to come up here and force me to work on this. Well that's as long as the doctor's didn't find anything majorly wrong with you.:wink:

The doctor found too much Christmas in my blood and it cannot be cured.

I feel better already! I will be right there!
 
Since we live only a few hours away (I think), please send me some of that Italian vegetable soup LOL. I promise when I make my grandma's homemade Italian wedding soup that I will send you some! I also love cooking in the fall. The summer is always way too hot to cook anything good - except for grilling. My mom and I were just saying that we can't wait to make our favorite hearty dishes - stuffed peppers, spaghetti and meatballs, wedding soup, etc. It's making me hungry! Hope you have a great day!!



Yes, I don't know what this talk is about either! Go Steelers! :]

It will be on it's way after 6 pm! I would love some wedding soup! We have a wonderful recipe in our family as well!

Go Steelers!
 
Good Morning, MMC!

*Happy Friday...TGIF!*

Yesterday was Adrian's & my 4th wedding anniversary =]
Although we celebrated a bit last night, we are going to have dinner again this weekend to toast the occasion! Thank you to those of you that wished us well on FB!
My husband truly knows me very well. He bought me an It's A Wonderful Life matted photo, and had it signed by Karolyn Grimes. She addressed it to me, and quoted her line of "Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings". Then he framed it. I thought that was such a sweet gesture, since it's one of my favorite movies. God love him.

How are you guys today? Any weekend plans?

Besides going out for dinner tomorrow evening, we'll probably grill out & watch some movies. It's still very hot here. I can't wait for Fall! Have I told you that?! It'll be so nice to open the house up again. Harlowe loves it, too. That way she can listen to all of the neighborhood dogs, watch people walking by, etc. Basically be involved in all the action!

I wish you all a lovely day & weekend!

Again, Happy Anniversary! Enjoy tonight and your weekend together!
 
there is only so much stuff that you can be put through everyday just to be reminded you are just an insignificant number in the company's eyes.

I'm getting a taste of that myself today. I hope things work out one way or the other for you ... keep us posted.

Have a great day at Fenway. I wonder who those volunteer tasters could possibly be???

Here are a few I can think of offhand.

...
My throat is still sore...Maybe worse than yesterday.

Honey and lemon juice in hot tea, or even hot water, can help your throat if you take it several times a day. Very soothing.
 
The doctor found too much Christmas in my blood and it cannot be cured.

I feel better already! I will be right there!

Cured? Make a serum and innoculate, innoculate, innoculate!!!! Something that powerful needs spread around! :smile:

That sounds like the answer to all these bah-humbug types who are always Christmas-bashing in the press (or gleefully reporting on Christmas-bashing). There could be a Hallmark movie in this ...
 
Soup smells so good! Tonight is Bambi 2 on Disney Jr. We will be watching that before I lay down for my nap. Even though I worked last weekend, I am working this weekend as I well. One of my co-workers wanted this weekend off, so I am working this weekend for her, then she will work next weekend for me and then I will have the next two weekends off. It will be nice!

Off to get some more things done around the house. Talk to you guys later on. Hope everyone has a MERRY Friday evening! :razz:
 
Good Morning, MMC!
