Job Interviews

I had an interview yesterday. The first one since 2005. WOW. It went well, but I realized I lack the networking knowledge to do IT. I may have had a better chance of getting the job if I knew more about networks. So, I will either be getting a book or taking the class up at the college next semester. It depends on if I get a different job or not.

I received another call yesterday about a possible job interview near me. I called back this morning, but haven't received a call back yet. I am hoping they call back, because in the message she said that they were hoping to do an interview today because they wanted to hire someone by the end of the week. So, let's keep our fingers crossed. In the meantime, we can't go get more of our garden planted because we are waiting around here for her to call. Ggggrrr.

I am hoping to get a job, but I would prefer something part-time. My husband would rather I find something full time. We'll see what happens.

Update: I have an interview at 3 for that place I was talking about. Wish me luck

I had to go out and buy clothes tonight because I have an interview tomorrow. Uuuughhh, I hate trying on pants, especially because I haven't lost as much as I would have liked. Stupid pants don't like to fit over my big hips. Ggggrrr. I have no really nice clothes that fit. They are all in smaller sizes from before I had my daughter almost 3 years ago. That's the only bad part about having babies so close together. You don't really have time to lose the weight you gained from the first one, before you start gaining for the next.

Last week I lost another pound and a half, to make my overall weight loss 7 pounds in 3 weeks. I have been doing well at the gym. I go 4-5 days a week and stay for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. This is my 'me' time, my escape. LOL. I think I need to start keeping better track of my food. I was very bad last night and made up a batch of chocolate chip cookies. Bad me!! But I had been so good, that I felt like we needed a treat. I didn't eat too many of them. But now we can be good again for a few more weeks!

Help with potty training

I need some help potty training my little girl. She is 2 1/2 and pretty stubborn. She knows that she's supposed to be going pee in the potty but just keeps peeing in her underwear. Time after time after time. We have been staying in the kitchen for now so that I don't have a really big mess to clean up. She just won't go potty. Any suggestions would be awesome. Please help!!!

My Summer To-Do List

I am all done with my finals. THANK GOODNESS!!! I had some tough ones this semester, but I am glad that the semester is done and I can concentrate on all the other stuff I need to get done. Oh believe me. I have a list!! Some of the things I am going to be working on include:

• getting my daughter potty trained!!!
  
• redo my Coupon Queen blog. I want to add pages to it so that will take a little work. I am also debating on changing my banner and background. It's very "pretty" right now, but I am thinking I would like to make it look more professional.
  
• need to get my little ones in the same bedroom. The little man will be climbing out of the crib soon so we need to get the room organized and ready for a toddler bed, along with adding his sister in there.
• since we will be staying here for a while, I need to do some reorganizing in order for this place to work longer. I know I need to organize my pantry and the cupboards. Who knows? I may even find more places for my stockpile. LOL.
• and, of course, we will be working in the garden. We have corn, peas and carrots in right now and hope to get more planted tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.
  

I am sure I will find more stuff to add to my summer to-do list. LOL. Does anyone else have a summer to do-list. Share by leaving me a comment.

Wordless Wednesday 5/13

My daughter decided she wanted to try to be like Van Gogh, only she decided that paper wasn't good enough for her and the window was. LOL. Of course, she cleaned it off after she was caught!

Well, the gym thing has been going well. I went at least 4 times last week (I should really be writing that down. lol). I have been working out for 1 1/2 to 2 hours each time I go. 20 minutes on treadmill, 20 minutes on elliptical, strength training (usually do about 5-6 different exercises plus abs) and then 20 minutes on the bike.

I have lost another 1 1/2 pounds, so I am happy about that. Even though I know that could have been better. I had a very bad food week. There was some hot dogs and even some ice cream. But all in all not too bad. I m now down almost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. YEAH. I have to say that reducing the cable so we could get a gym membership was the best thing we could have done. The gym is open 24 hours a day, so it is really easy for both me and hubby to get to the gym.

My finals are 1/3 of the way over and I only really have to study for the one tomorrow. The one on Thursday is for my spreadsheets class and that is easy peasy! So, after that I will be less stressed. Therefore, less likely to eat bad things! LOL. We are also going to be actually planting in our garden this week (we had to put up a fence first) and that will also give me a good workout.

So, hopefully next week I will see a few more pounds coming off (definitely feeling better and feeling more trim).
