Part time jobs

So some of you may know or not... money is tight for Chris and I. In effort to improve the situation I applied for a couple part time jobs. One wanted to interview my tonight! The second had me in already and the third will call me by Friday.
Holy cow batman - it's a little overwhelming that based on appearance alone I could get an interview - especially to someone in HR!!!!
That would explain crappy service in the mall.
'Cause baby looks aren't everything - obviously.

So which one should I accept if given choices:
Payless
Ann Taylor
Lane Bryant
*Keep in mind I need to save some cash not spend.
Of the three though the ladies at Payless were my age and very nice.
Ann Taylor is funny because Sunday when I picked up the application the lady was kind of shitty to me. (I was in sweats) Today wanted to interview me right then. (I was in my work clothes)
Very humorous.

And I ran into coworker from Saturday. I got a how are you and a smirk.
Great - I am no known as a cheater at work.
At least Jon is cute.
Thank god - never want rumors swirling around gross people. Not that I really know any I would spend any social time with.
Ooh that was rude. I am one to talk - chubasaurus Rex that I am.

And finally - Bethie is a girl, lady, woman.
I knew it all along.
:)

Changes

So I decided to change the name of my blog.
One I am married and not to Tommy Stinson and two it's in reference to a time in my life when I had way too much fun. In a very good way.
Sometime maybe I will tell you the story.

Finally I think it fits me. A few weeks ago I was telling some coworkers about some things that were going on in my personal life and one woman remarked - Caprise you have a lot of drama in your life. To which another coworker said no - she just knows how to tell a story.
And really that is what I would like my blog to be.
Little stories for my friends sometimes good sometimes sad sometimes down right boring.
But enough that you know what is going on and might be a little entertained.

Last night I went out w/my man best friend. hee hee - he'll like that title.
Some of us have more than one best friend - I am lucky I have two.
Bethie and Jon.
Bethie unless I don't know something- is a lady. :)
Thus the title to Jon. Anyway we do what we do - we get two bar stools next to each drink and talk. Usually the talk is a wide spectrum of music, movies, books, women, food and the like.
Last night we got a little deep and as the tail end of deepness was loosening up again a coworker who doesn't know me well walks by. Which at that point I say to Jon - oh great on Monday the rumor mill is going to have me cheating on Chris. Jon and I were facing each other very closely and I had my hand on his knee because I was telling him something then there was a hug in there. My coworker knows what Chris looks like. He doesn't look like Jon. :)
woo - Can't wait 'til tomorrow. I of course told Chris when I got home and he found much humor in it. Did I mention my coworkers thoroughly enjoy gossip? You change your hair it's fodder.

So that is my story for you.
Causing the coworkers to gossip.
woo - at least we didn't run into anyone later in the night when (we were discussing weight loss). People would have gotten a full view of Jon's cute tan tummy! The rumors that would have spread and the dates for Jon. :)
So - I will try to continue the stories.

Ashtrays

That is what I am thinking of as I write this because I freakin' smell like one!
I very much enjoy having a few drinks but ugh why with the chain smoking!
I went out after work - tried to call my husband - his cellphone died did not get my call, my Mom calls and he tells her he doesn't know where I am.
Mind you I had told him I would probably be doing this.
Also bear in mind same man who will be out until all hours of the night sans a phone call.
Can you say double standard?

So infamous meeting - did not happen. Boss comes to my desk and hour later and says sorry got tied up... can we reschedule. I ask if I am in trouble. To which she says if you were I would just come get you. Good to know for the future.
She just wants to get handle on what I do and what kind of time I have as we never see each other.
whew!
I think...
I let you know next Wednesday.
Still applying for school though.
Going to apply for the vet tech program and early childhood and see who will have me.
Also applying for a job w/the school systems to be a bilingual resource specialist.
Very excited about that.
Well I am going to go read and unwind.
I love quiet Friday nights.
Go Pack!

Impending Doom and the annoying Japanese boy...

Ok so I really have to explain the title.
I have been working out at least twice a week. Cardio is killing me - it's fun for awhile but I get bored and sweaty. Two things in tandem I hate.
So I tried the resistance pool today. It rocks, you basically walk, run, move your arms, semi swim, whatever against a current of water that comes up to your shoulders. I totally felt the burn when I got home. What sucked was the young Japanese boy that decided because there was no room in the lap pool he would turn the resistance pool into his own private waterpark. I kept giving him looks and almost hit him when he knocked me down but no avail. So when I got out limping his mother looked at me and told him in Japanese to get out. (I was limping because of my ankle) You see I need the resistance pool, metal in my ankle prevents me from having real fun. Or being able to do real cardio. My gym is a virtual melting pot, it's pretty cool. What sucks is all the meat market people. Yuck - we are at a gym. In my opinon 'nuff said.

In other gym news - we in the ladies locker room have a woman who likes to sing - aloud and not well. Very fun. She is a very nice lady. Just should talk more. :)

So why the impending doom? My boss of a little over 7 months has called an one on one for us tomorrow and every consectutive Friday until November.
She never meets w/me... or talks to me for that matter.
I am very nervous. I haven't exactly been shy about my discontent.
Also November would be 3 months pretty typical time frame for a displinary plan.
This would be my first job ever where that has happened.
I feel a little sick right now just thinking about it - so I am going to try and sleep.
Wish me luck.

Thank goodness it's Wednesday

Hump day so glad...
Next week this time I will be preparing for my first journey in the air by myself. Go to see my parents... so glad.
I suppose our house is a pit and I promised to cook...
gots to go.....................

Oh My!

So what a week it has been people.
Last night I went to one of my dearest friend's weddings.
In preparation I got my hair cut and my nails done. Did a little shopping. If you have never gotten up early on a Saturday and shopped - you are missing out. I love to shop, hate the malls. However 10 AM is a wonderful time at the local malls. You can park teenagers are still sleeping and bonus the people working are in a good mood because well you are one of their first customers - no one has pissed them off yet.
The only freaky thing that happened was the man following me around in the Boston Store dress area. I am pretty sure he was looking for himself - a dress that is. He looked like your average construction work except for the big diamond stud in his ear and the peachy lip gloss. I think he was following me to check out what I liked ... who knows. He was harmless it was just a little kooky. Every rack I stopped at he would do the same and then pick out the largest size and hold it up. Maybe he was shopping for a loved one and liked my style.
I dunno know...

This week has been a little stressful. Monetarily I am struggling and it wouldn't be so bad but I really feel like I need to go back to school. I want to work w/kids. Adults are no fun and my boss worries me, tons.
She was at the reception we were at last night and she was sloshed and sitting at our table and hitting on my friend's guest. Granted the guest is a dear friend but a dear friend who said dear friend is very attracted to. Oy vey.
Last night reaffirmed why I don't go out drinking w/my coworkers... things get weird.

Yesterday was also Chris and my six month anniversary.
I can't believe he loves me like he does.
I am a wreck , so high strung and internally struggling with so much.
There is so much I want and I don't mean material things I mean for my life and I just don't feel like I can get there. Makes me sad.
My husband is so wonderful - he said if it would make me happy to go back to school or work a different job that paid less he would tighten things up. Anything to lessen the stress on both of us.
So lucky I am.
And finally my Oh My - my Mom' s psychic powers to know I am sad and send me the most beautiful poem.
Just what I needed and my husband buying me Coldstone Ice Cream.
I am a lucky girl I tell you.

Greetings from Crabbyville and Poopypants

Not really but my husband is kind of living in Crabbyville thus he has the Poopypants.
Look you too can talk like a pre-schooler. The reasoning is pretty simple - he is feeling beyond neglected by some of his dearest and oldest friends. And to be honest - they are being pretty crappy to him. When we first got together I had some concerns about how they treat him and it has just manifested over the years.
I am pretty lucky - even if I haven't spoken to my friends for awhile when we do reconnect - it's the same. And we all at least try to make an effort. Email has honestly revived a lot of relationships I almost lost. Hi Annie!
It also maintains relationships w/my friends who are crazy ass busy. Hi Bethie!
Chris's friends aren't those people. I have one person in my life who always seems to call only when they need something, but that's it. My honey has friends that even though they traveled to another country to see us wed, don't feel they need to talk to us much. Well you know they did get their vacation in - what do they need us for?! What frustrates me the most - is Chris defends them all to death and loves them a lot. One person in particular most of us would of walked away from and some people did - he stuck by.
I don't know - I was raised to cherish relationships, things can change so fast.
So that is what I do, it makes me sad when others don't, especially when they do it to people I love.
On that note, I am going to go hug my husband and email my grandma.
