Day 3, 4, 5 and 6

Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday....all jammed into one post.

Have managed to connect with 88 former co-workers and business partners on linkedin.com. Have applied on line with Capital One for two positions. First one declined, second one is pending..... Tomorrow I return to my former office, to train someone to do commissions, submit payroll, go over bank accounts, and remove myself from those accounts and other businesses. Thursday is my "prepare a resume" day. Have started a profile on monster.com. Have had multiple people send me "WTF?" notes on Facebook and email, all of which I have conveyed, YES, I'm in the job market...

Have used my new "Ab Circle Pro" everyday (except Sunday) since it's arrival last week. Returned to Snap Fitness today for the first time in 3 years. Worked legs and walked on treadmill. Going to try and make it everyday for a while...

I will say that I'm enjoying cooking. Danny commented today on how many times we've washed pots and pans and ran the dishwasher. Least we aren't starving!

It was sunny outside day, although cool and windy. Lots better than rain!

Continuing my quest for another day!

A new blog...

I've decided to create a resume blog.... While searching monster.com and other job web sites, I see a lot of dreary information. I think a resume blog could be something that would make me "stand out" in this techno world. To be continued, as I need to get it all straight in my head first, then I shall turn into Pamblo Picasso in Blog form!

Off to have hair cut and highlighted.... and the sun is shining! Planning to make it a great Saturday!

Day two...

Posting a little early, because I am bored to death! Couldn't sleep last night. Weird dreams, so I got up before 4am. Played on the computer for a little while and went back to bed a little after 5. Got back up at 7:30 to an empty house, except Lily! Danny had gone to take the kids to school and for his morning visit to Bobcat's.

I cooked toast and eggs about 8:30, and then started watching tv. Made tuna salad for lunch, was pretty good, and had been a while since I'd made it. Talked to a guy I used to work with several years ago for a bit.

Had cookies ready for the kids when they got in, all but 3 are gone.

Need sunshine....and warmth. It's been rainy and freezing cold all day. Hate it!!!

We shall see how I do on day three. It's the weekend, so maybe I'll feel "normal."

Day One....

I think I will cronical my days....today was the first day of my entire adult life that I am unemployed. I feel fortunate to have made it from September 10,1984 to now, to say that.

Day one was spent taking Colby to tutoring and Chelsey to school. That's a rarity for me, and may be the "norm" for others, but I never have gotten to do that.

From there, Danny and I took a mound of dry cleaning to Frisco....sat in Starbucks and had coffee (again, I'm usually in a dead run drive thru gal) and them stopped by WalMart for a new bottle of Simply Sleep. Intended to get cat food, but forgot it. Must have been because Danny was WITH me!

Came back home and had a sandwich and fell asleep on the couch for a little while. Going to a track meet after school....Colby's running the "Big Boy Race." Should be fun, and yet another adventure for me, as I've never made it to an after school track meet.

Lily (the dog) seems pleased to have her Momma home, and hasn't let me out of her site. She even napped with me.

So....it appears I will survive day one. Wonder what day two will be like...

College again....

And there is another.....

Happy Valentines Day!!!

Happy Valentines Day... I think we are off to have lunch somewhere. Just an update on the snowman. He's naked (dropped his scarf) and leaning just a bit!

College....(sigh)

Our first piece of mail from a college.....and it's addressed to Chelsey. Can hardly believe it! Maybe Colby will get a few two.
