This is the Way I Live.

It’s Been a Long, Long Time

So basically, I haven’t been on this thing in… months. It’s because I was working 60+ hour work weeks. My first job out of college was a temporary position, paid well, good hours, cool people, etc. But now it’s over. And as that was ending so was my lease. My roommate had already moved home (to PA) so there I was with no job, no place to live, so I packed up my stuff and moved it (well hired a moving company) to storage and drove myself, a car full of my stuff, and my cats to Raleigh. I’m now living with my family. 

My life is boring as I don’t have any friends here (well there’s a few people I know from high school, but I don’t think I’d go far enough to call them friends) and I am not working or meeting people. So I continue to look for jobs in Charlotte. I’d much rather be there if I’m going to be in North Carolina. Let me tell you, looking for jobs is so annoying! I hate it, I rather someone just tell me that this is my job… 

My life has become soooo boring up here in Raleightown that I may have done something completely insane. Let’s just say it possibly involved driving to Charlotte to hang out with a guy just to turn around 20 hours later and drive back… THAT’S HOW BORING MY LIFE HAS BECOME! For those of you who know me, I don’t do anything for boys. But he’s been flirting with me for months and I had nothing better to do, also it was a last minute, impulse decision! Love those. I had a great time and I of course do not regret it. Plus my mom filled up my gas tank today so it’s like I didn’t even have to pay for gas and he paid for all my meals when we went out - shahhweeet! Okay, so it wasn’t that extreme, but I haven’t been back to Charlotte to even visit my friends and then I do that. I didn’t tell any of them I was there because there wasn’t enough time for me to see them and said guy asked me and I said yes in a last minute drunken haze.

Anywho, my friend just called me so I must go, but I just had to let someone know that I drove three hours for a guy!

I’m sick and I’ve been stuck in bed all day! The only time I’ve gotten out of bed was to vomit. I couldn’t even hold down water. Ugh. All I want to do is eat ice cream and feel better.

Cats, Edited

I finally got around to clipping the cats nails today. All three of them. I also gave them Vaseline to help with hairballs. Aurora was hacking really bad a couple months ago and after a lot of research I found out that a little Vaseline should do the trick, if they keep hacking but nothing comes out give it to them daily until their hairball is gone. Otherwise, give it to them weekly to eliminate the probability of getting them.

Aurora Leigh, she is my baby. She is so good when it comes to clipping her nails, she lays there and lets me do it. At the last nail, without fail, she tries to escape me. It’s vital that I clip her nails because in the morning she loves to sit on me, find bare skin, and kneed into my skin. Not a pleasant way to be rudely awakened at six in the morning! But when it comes to giving her Vaseline she runs around the house and hides in various places. When she had a hairball she’d lick it off my finger, now she can’t stand it. I have to wipe it on her front paw. She’s just got thick fur so she really needs it.

Briar Rose, my little shit, struggles every step of the way and shoves her paws against me has her claws out all the way. The amazing thing is, as much of a fight as she puts up (with her claws out) she never scratches me. She just acts like she’s going to rip me to shreds. And she loves Vaseline, she’d lick the container clean if I let her, werido!

Bonnie Rae, my roommates cat was not too bad. She is very long and lean and able to twist. Not to mention I’ve never clipped her claws before. She wasn’t bad though. And she too loves the Vaseline.

Anyways, I successfully have taken care of the cats for the night(: and it all took about five minutes - wahoo! Everyone else I know has to wrap their cats in towels and have another person hold the cat! I guess I got lucky with my little ones, success!

Interview Aborted

So I had an interview today, I wasn’t crazy about going because it’s for insurance sales… Meh. But I said I’d go to see what it was all about. Yeah, it’s not for me. I’m not a self starter or super duper motivated when I’m laying in my bed. I just need set hours, let’s be honest. And I’m not at all pushy, not that you always have to be, but sales are not at all my thing. The flexibility would be awesome though because I need long weekends sometimes. Anyways it’s not a possibility because it was a group interview setting. Seven people sat in a room and listened to this guy talk for over an hour (my eyes were rolling in the back of my head I was so bored, confused, enthused). Then at the end he asked for those interested to stay and talk to him one on one for about five minutes. I opted to leave.

More importantly, I would like to describe to you what the other candidates were wearing - do they now know what business professional attire consists of? (We even got an email to dress in professional business attire.) One woman was wearing a brown cotton skirt, no tights, hairy legs, a horrid shirt with an ugly stripped cardigan over it, and her hair - it was literally a rats nest. It was gross. And her nails had a ragged circle of polish on each finger, just take off your chipping nail polish! Then one woman came in a dress and a dress coat but her hair was so greasy and unkept she could have made fries. She was also obnoxious. Another girl (the best dressed girl) was wearing a skirt suit but she was showing cleavage and she was wearing strappy shoes that showed her toes and no tights! And let me just say this about cleavage, if I can keep it in, anyone can keep it in. And she had on three pieces of chunky jewelry.

I know the rules to dressing for an interview are slightly restricting, but come on people. You have one chance to make a good first impression, what’s so wrong about that? Especially in this market, why would you not do anything and everything to look, sound, and act the most professional? It just blows my mind.

Disney Desperate Housewives

This combines two of my favorite things - Disney Princesses and Desperate Housewives. Just goes to show even Priness’ don’t have perfect marriages! And DH reminds me all too much of high school, I’m still hooked even though the show has gotten slightly more dramatic.

P.S. I also love the picture of the Beast in the background(: My absolute favorite movie!
