I'm putting in my notice tomorrow. Two more weeks, and I'm done with this crap. I don't know what finally made us go "okay, choose a day"...there wasn't one particular "last straw", but about a week ago I told Johnathan I needed to have an exit strategy, and we went from there. Part of it is that I had to tie up some loose ends that the boss ( Read more... )

Okay, I give up.

Does anyone know of any good and reputable online sites to buy shoes and boots? At this point, I don't even care if it's Canadian or American. I just can't find shoes that I like in stores, and my shoes are falling apart.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

Eee! I made a curtain! It's for the tall skinny window beside our front door. It used to have a crappy ugly curtain that would get sucked outside every time you opened the door, but after the break-in we went to Bouclair and bought some fabric to replace it. In the meantime, the ugly curtain got stapled to the new door frame so that we could ( Read more... )

I've played DDR pretty much every night for the last 2 weeks, for about 30 minutes each time. During my workout/hopping around like a madwoman tonight, my left knee started to feel a little...burny. I kept on, though, because I figured it was a momentary thing, and that it would eventually go away. Turns out, not so much. And now it hurts to ( Read more... )

Here I am again, just like I said I'd be, to continue my updates. After rereading yesterday's post, I change my assertion that I always seem to make life financially complicated whenever we start to get ourselves into a better place, that's not fair. It's been a couple of times, but not every time. Sometimes life takes care of that for us, ( Read more... )

Holy heck, I haven't written in LJ in almost a month. Well, well ( Read more... )

Whew, what a busy week. I need a vacation, post vacation. Since we got home last week, we've been cleaning, doing laundry, and basically trying to get back into our regular pre-vacation routine. I'm finally almost happy with the state of the house ( Read more... )

12 hours from now, we'll be lining up to get on the plane, to fly us down to Tampa. 24 hours from now, we'll likely be settling down in our hotel room for the night. This time 48 hours from now, we'll be settling down for the night in our cabin...maybe. Or maybe we'll be partying. Either way, we'll be on the ship! We officially board the ship ( Read more... )

The interview went well. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted the position, but I was having some "better to have a job that isn't fantastic than no job at all when you leave your current job" guilt, so I considered it. It's very similar to what I'm doing now, actually, with no reception duties, and more admin duties. No idea what the pay would be, ( Read more... )
