Beach weekend

I miss the beach. I feel like that is my second home. I hope to have a home on the beach. We are just going for the weekend, but it will be nice to get away. We are going with his MIL which is fine by me. We get along so it'll be nice.

Got another interview today. Its for a receptionist at some Home Savers place. I got the impression its for ppl who have a hard time paying their mortgage and they somehow shrink it? I dunno, we'll see. If I don't get this one, I'm going to some temp agencys. Happy Friday!!!

Family time

So let me start off saying that this may be a little long, but I need to get it all out.

I got married in May 2008, my g-pa and g-ma funeral service was in Oct 2008 and I just talked with my brother and his wife on 4th of July. I have not spokend with then since May 2008...because apparently I said something that set them both off.

Lets go to before the wedding, I has asked my brothers wife (we'll call her T and him J) to do my make up and hair for my big day. She told me that she didn't know until we got closer to the date, ok, I can see that. Never heard anything from her so I took it as she didn't want to do it. In hindsight I should have called her to follow up but I was running around with my head cut off trying to get our wedding perfect. I made a hair appointment and had the lady do my make up, no biggie. What really pissed me off is I didn't even get a card from them. Not that I was expecting any kind of gift, but not even a card? And they left the next morning without coming by for the brunch that they knew about...ok, fine. Whatever. I understand they have a little one that her mom is watching, but you could have spent 20 mintues there and I would have been happy.

So we fast forward to Oct....My g-pa was a war veteran, I think for the Vietnam War and I really couldn't tell you what he did because it was never discussed. Anywho, the city built this really nice veterans memorial garden and my dad thought it would be a good idea to do a service for them, since they are sitting under my parents bed collecting dust, so why not do a service for them. T and J came down and brought my nephew, L. (L is now 2 years old....we were not invited to his 1st birthday because they didn't have one and his 2nd birthday was a last minute thing) get done with the service and go get lunch, come back to my parents house and spent 2 hours with them. They left and we went about our day.

Fast forward to Feb 2009, my parents have season tickets to the Nascar race and go every year, sicne J and T live in Ocala and Daytona really isn't that far, they met up and had dinner. Now meanwhile, we have not heard from them, no phone calls, no cards or pictures (other than Christmas) nothing at all from them and they (my parents) were trying to figure out what was going on. No one wanted to talk and they (everyone) avoided the subject.

May comes, J calls and wishes mom happy mothers day.....June comes and dad didn't get a phone call for fathers day.

Here we are in July.....and the whole family came down. Apparently, J was the one not wanting to talk with his family and T was pushing him. I can see that. J is stubborn like me =) We get all the air cleaned and get everything off our chests and all it was, was miscommunication. From the accidental gift not being in the box for Christmas to stupid myspace comment that wasn't directed towards her. This went on and off for 2 years! I hope this never happens again because I love J and T and L!!! And I wanna be able to call them up and see them and talk to my nephew.

Friends may come and go, but family is always there.

Its Hump day

And thats not what I'll be doing. Stupid AF and her spotting, GO AWAY!!!! I never used to be like this, before BCPs I was 7 days and then on them I was 3-4 days. I wanna go back to my 3-4 days!! This sucks. DH thinks my plumbing is broken and won't come near me.

On a side note, not related, I got some new dog food for Bailey, its from Rachael Ray called Nutrish. I got the beef flavor and she actually gets excited to eat again. It was like a chore to get her to eat anything. So no more Beneful. It's only been 2 feedings and I can tell she really likes it.

What an awesome weekend

Drove up to Lakeland on Friday night. Got up early on Saturday to drive to Tampa to get K. Got there at 9 am and were so excited to see her. Its like everytime we see her she gets older. Drove back to Lakeland and headed to the museum. Its pretty cool, they have a little grocery store, a post office, a tv station, a space staion....all for the kids to play with and interact with. After that we went to the park and she played, had lunch and it was nap time. Went back to the house and did some paints and coloring and then made dinner. Got up the next morning and went to Steak and Shake, which we always do with her. Then we went to another park that had like 6 jungle gyms for her to play on and a butterfly garden. It was soo pretty! After that we hit the pool, got her lunch and then headed back to Tampa. She was out like a light. It was a good trip and the more we are with her, the more she doesn't wanna go back to mommy. I think thats great

Maybe this will be the one

I have a new job interview today. Just got done eating my breakfast and going to go jump in the shower and start getting ready. I hope I get this one. It seems like its more of what I was doing at the last job. Money is getting pretty tight these days and I think I may have to go cash in my gold coin from our wedding. Its worth $750-800 and it would be nice to have that. I'm still contemplating on whether or not I should. I can't remember how long I get unemployment for and I'm sure its coming up.....started in March, and got my first payment in April. Keep your fingers crossed!

Just a little update

Nothing really new to report....same ole, same ole. I had my interview yesterday and although I need a job...mainly for the benefits and to be quite honest I'm tired of the housework, I'm content pulling in my unemployment money and nesting. I look forward to DH getting home so that we can do something together...it's no fun sitting here all day and no one to talk to. He must think I'm a chatty cathy when he gets home. Ah, thats life right?

::sigh::

This is going to be a vent post...I have a lot of things I need to get off my chest

1. I am so tired of being unemployed. I have been since March and, thankfully, I am getting unemloyment but I'm sure like all the other people getting it, its not really consistant. I used to get it once a week and now its whenever they feel like it. HELLO!!! I still need to pay my bills!!! I have looked in the paper every weekend and craigslist and I'm just sick of it. I guess my next route would be a temp agency.

2. My truck is going in today. It won't start and I hope its nothing major. The warranty coverage is pretty good, but I'm still worried about it.

3. I got an off the wall myspace message from my SIL. (I'll try to make the back story short...since my wedding...now a year...I haven't spoken with her nor my brother. My brother sent me an email basically telling me to stay out of his life. They have a son, my nephew whom we (my family) has only see maybe 10 times. We were not invited to his one year birthday, nor his second. We do not get phone calls/cards/emails for birthdays, anniversarys, mothers day (my mom was pretty torn up) nothing. So now on to the story....she left me a comment telling me that there is a orlando premier this weekend and that they are offering massage therapy ceus. WTF?! Not a hi, how are you....just that. So I replied that I already have mine for the renewal. I'm still saying WTF.

Now I feel better. Happy Hump day.
