I went contradancing Saturday night!!!!!!! I summoned up my courage and went alone. It felt a little awkward but not horrible. I met some really nice people and got a GREAT aerobic workout. I was so winded I had to sit out every third dance. I thought I would have had enough by 10PM but I stayed until the bitter end (11:30). They do a ( Read more... )

Good news/bad news. Good news: I got the WS job! Yea! Bad news: It doesn't start until 11/10. Ugh. That's a long wait. I took it anyway because it seemed like such a nice place to work. Now I MUST go practice.

Yesterday I wore my new hair clip. I called the school in Plymouth again and that woman called back; she is very interested. A school I cold-called in Roseville on Tuesday called me back asking for a resume. And I cold-called another school in Woodbury but I haven't heard back from them ( Read more... )

I drove all the way down to the Galleria but didn't have the balls to walk into Tiffany's and ask for an application. Sorry to dissapoint you, kokopoko! It was just way too intimidating. I have NO retail experience whatsoever, much less know anything about fine jewlery. I walked the mall and filled out apps for B&N and Williams-Sonoma: books & ( Read more... )

STILL no calls! Today I'm going on the prowl right after lunch. I feel like I look good enough to show up at Tiffany's (charcoal wool pants, white button-down shirt and deep purple cardigan) so I'll see what else is at that mall. Then to another mall closer to me for B&N and whatever else might be there! I did find another studio looking for ( Read more... )

So yesterday I was expecting to hear from three people: the B&N lady, the music studio guy, and my voice teacher. NOBODY CALLED!!!! I am fit to be tied. By the time I finished some practicing, I was so exhausted from anxiety that I took a nap. It was a gorgeous day and I didn't even leave the house. Ugh. I need a new strategy for finding a ( Read more... )

The weather has turned gloomy and my energy level reflects it. Ugh ( Read more... )

In the morning I got these packets together to mail to the funeral homes. They should get them today, I would think. After lunch I mailed the packets and got my MN drivers license. I only missed one question on the test, something about learner's permit and getting arrested. I thought getting arrested for whatever it was sounded too extreme and ( Read more... )

The interview went pretty well, I guess. She hardly asked me any questions. The store is going to close at the end of the year so she expects a really busy season and current staff defecting to other stores. The pay won't be great. I hate it when they talk to you like you already have the job. It gives one false hope. I think I was the first ( Read more... )

"Hell will be populated by Christians offended by grace." The only memorable quote from a SERMON in my life. (My dad is a pastor so I've been to a lot of church!) The pastor was making the point that at the final judgement the "good" Christians who have done good works, believed for years, etc. will be so offended that the "bad" people (e.g. ( Read more... )
