I will never not have the desire to have very long hair. Unfortunately my hair is too thick and heavy for me to ever make it there. I am reminded why I do love my short hair now with summer seeming to already be here with our highs in the high 80’s the last two days. Believe me it will get hotter soon, all the more reason for short locks! Plus, I have some weird wavy thing that happens to my hair if I let it air dry. My hair used to dry stick straight naturally until I hit my twenties, than I was “blessed” with weird waviness. Anyways, a girl can dream, so here are some of my favorite updos!
So I ended up getting the job. Huge sigh of relief! I was a nervous wreck yesterday, I was so nervous my hands were shaking while I was getting ready in the morning. Once I got there though, and saw the group of people I was interviewing with, I felt at ease. Well, as “at ease” as you can feel on a job interview. We were all asked questions from the HR guy, and two different supervisors. After all that was done they left us all alone in the room to go discuss who would make the cut. Mind you pretty much everyone gets hired at this place. There is a very high turn over rate at this company, so they pretty much constantly have to hire. Everyone in town jokes that “everyone and their mom” has worked for this company, LOL! None the less, it was nerve wracking knowing you could still possibly be on the cutting block!
I, of course, was hired and was the only one in our group to get to choose what account I wanted to work for. I chose their cosmetics account, because I used those products for many years, are in love with them, and know I can sell them if I have to. I don’t know why I was the only one to get to choose where I worked, I want to think it’s because I’m special! Everyone else got assigned to an account that would have been a deal breaker for me, so I am very grateful for where I ended up.
For now I am going to enjoy my last week as a non-working girl, celebrate my success, and gear up for my new job. It will be challenging for me, but that is good, it helps me grow as a human being and as a person. I hope that this job ends up being low stress enough that I could eventually go back to school, probably in the spring, to get my Masters in Library Science. We’ll see how it plays out. For now I am thrilled to have a job, and soon an income. I finally want to put my plans in action for how I want my life to be. I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life. It’s a stepping stone for where I want to really be, but that’s the only way to get where you really want to go, to start somewhere and work your way up. Here’s to being employed!
I have been feeling stressed lately and was trying to think of a good pick-me-up. I was flipping through my DVD’s, my favorites I didn’t pack up when I moved, I put them all in a CD binder and packed the cases. Of course, being the organized person that I am, the DVDs are all alphabetized. I came to the T’s and there were all my Twilight DVDs. Those all bring up such happy memories, I decided it was time to watch them again.
Every time we saw the movies, there was a new fun experience. The movies never got old, not matter how many times I saw each one in theaters. I think we saw one of the installments around 4 times. Others 3, others 2. I was just laughing when I was watching the previews on New Moon, and the trailer for Letters to Juliet came on. When we were in theaters the song “Love Story” by Taylor Swift is used, and when it played all the young girls started singing it out loud. How could you not join in when there is a whole theater of singing girls!
