Why I Am Not Having Kids and other musings…

October 14, 2007

I’ve agreed to watch my sister’s kid for three days a week while she works part-time at her old job. It will bring in a little bit of money. Also-the library job search seemed to be dead in the water. I turned in two apps, had an interview downtown, and seemed all set for one more interview and hopefully a job but I didn’t seem to go that second interview.

We went to the library on Thursday night which was a bit out of our normal routine but I had some movies come in and needed more books so off we went. When we checked out Chris got to talking with the lady about me being perfect for the job. Turns out she’s the circulation director and will have an opening soon. So another app and hopefully when I turn it in on Monday something good will happen. No idea on the times needed or whether it’s full or part time. But it’s something.

My sister has two fairly normal kids and then there’s Gabby. She’s just like her mom: bossy, strong willed, and temperamental. Oh, and loud. Supposedly I am suppose to be able to change Nick Jr’s line up to be just Diego and Dora. This is not going to be the easiest money I’ve ever earned. In the least. But mom did give me some pointers and said she would bring some toys up. I am so not prepared as I have no toys or kid’s videos around to entertain her. Right now, we don’t have the money to purchase videos or toys but we will work it out.

Our local grocery store has starting carrying a new snack mix made by Cheerios. It is very good and so addictive. Sitting here at the hubby’s work with Dr Pepper and the Cheerio snack mix. That with some peanut M&Ms and coffee ice cream in the freezer. Life is good here in Tulsa.

Weather has finally cooled down here in T-Town. Evening lows has been in the fifties and sixties and highs in the seventies and eighties. Overall it’s been really nice. With this nice weather, I can at least get Gabby out some to the park or whatever.

I’m still breathing…

October 7, 2007

We had to cancel Internet at home so I am rather limited on my Internet time.  Also, the job thing is totally working out…the interview went well but so far no go on another interview and/or job. Patience and the Sunday paper-looks like I will be putting more aps out on Monday.

I saw We are Marshall this weekend and loved it. In fact, that is going on to my list of favorite football movies. Along with Rudy, Invincible, and Remember the Titans.Very, very good. I have been working on the AFI list and getting lots of older movies watched. I do have to say that I could not make it through Raging Bull or Lawrence of Arabia. I did try so I’m giving myself credit.

In baseball news, the season has ended with the exception of post-season play. No Cardinals, or Houston, this year and it seems almost anti-climatic. Although the Cubs are already knocked out so I know the world isn’t going to end tomorrow :)

Pirates fired coach Jim Tracy. Cardinals let go of GM Walt Jocketty. That shocked me when I saw that and I wonder if we are going to resign LaRussa. We did pick up Izzy’s option so we know at least what closer we will have. Already the fire/hire carousel in open for business and the season isn’t over yet.

Weather has been warm here in Tulsa-Indian summer I guess. Mid to upper 80’s with some humidity but it’s looking like the next week will be a little cooler-lower 80’s and upper 70’s with lows in the 50’s.

Chris and I went to the fair last week and had a great time. Walked through the exhibition halls and spent a few minutes walking around some of the rides. We got a lemonade, two bottles of water, candy apple, and two corn dogs,  and spent nearly 12 dollars. Glad we don’t ride the rides or we would have to sell bone marrow :) But in all, we had a great time and came home sore and tired.

So I’ve now checked in-off to go waste more time on-line. Have a great day!
