Positive note of the day: Had a job interview this morning with an engineering firm. Can't really make out how it went (I have all the technical acumen but they want more proposal writing experience) so we shall see if I get a call-back after the weekend.
Positive note of the day: Got a pair of shoes yesterday that were marked down from $99 to $20. I wanted a dark brown pair of heels that had some panache. Do you know how hard it is to find dark brown shoes at the beginning of spring? Everything was in this blush shade, in some cases they were shiny patent, many of them were platform and most of them had four to five inch heels. Do they know who they were selling to? I would kill myself in those things. And I certainly could not stand in them for eight hour stretches!
Positive note of the day: Went shopping with the boy so we could set up his seedlings for this summer's gardening. He is great to hang around but his constant need for entertainment is draining!
Pre-posting on a Sunday. Kids are putzing around, Brad is making some sorta speaker creation to add to his plethora of audio equipment (he seems similarly ensconsed in a hobby now so that's good) and I am going here and there. Coloring an image, reading a book to Ave, cleaning something up and then rotating from one to the other. Decided to use this week's Card Patterns sketch with this pretty paper from Basic Grey's Eva (I am using up all my DP before I buy any more [well except for the new BG lines...shh!]).
Positive note of the day: Re-org'd all the kids crafts today. I like getting stupid jobs like that done.
Positive note of the day: Went out with my girlies last night...always good.
Positive note of the day: Avery is so cute with this talking app she has on my iPhone. It is called Talking Gina the Giraffe. She chatters away and Gina copies her. She giggles when Gina eats, gives kisses or gets poked. I love to watch her while she plays.
Played along with this month's PTI hop while I searched for jobs, suits (okay, that was fun) and got nerved up about my phone interview at 2:30. Gosh, I talk too much. The whole point of being a technical writer is to be concise and I am anything but when it comes to my mouth! (I knew someone who could come to meetings for months and never say a word. Then he would say one sentence and fully encapsulate the core of an issue. I wish I was like that.) Anyway, back to the card...
***Dangnabit! I hate it when the schedule feature does not work in Blogger!***
Positive note of the day: Bought a super cute suit for interviews tonight (out shopping with Charlotte and Paula). Like it! It has a retro feel and, for you Canucks, I bought it at Cleo (on sale even!). Jacket and skirt.
Tried on this week's Mojo Monday with another Cameo dingbat. Matched it with Basic Grey's Ambrosia (srsly, why am I not getting free product for all the advertising I do for this company? Bwah ha ha!). I added a rosette for the circular element and even some doodling down the sides (which I never do!). If you look closely at the mat, I clipped the corners and threw in some orange bling...it's a nice touch IRL even if it doesn't pop here on the blog. Ciao for now!
Positive note of the day: Tristan is better now. His nose is raw from blowing it, his lips are cracked from not drinking enough and he lost at least a pound or two this week. So he will stay home today again and start his Spring break now! I will volunteer in C's class this morning (after a phone interview at 7 AM this morning)...fun! Ha!
Positive note of the day: Had a whirlwind of a morning. Got C to school. T stayed home for the third day in a row since he still has his fever. Took him to the walk-in clinic last night to get him checked out. It's just a virus so he just has to weather it till it subsides. He is not eating or drinking so I have to harp on him incessantly so he doesn't get dehydrated. He tells me he thinks it is over so I hope he is right!
Positive note of the day: Skipper the cat went for a walk this weekend and got himself lost. Fortunately a lady in our neighbourhood took him in and then brought him to a local vet. The vet scanned his chip and he was home within twenty minutes. Charlotte was so happy (she had been quite distraught yesterday as we looked for him and taped posters on our street poles) and Avery kept saying "kitty" over and over again when he came home. I fear he is a wanderer (he howls all night! and paces by the front door). So not wanting to go through this on a regular basis!
Positive note of the day: Tristan's fever was between 103 and 104 today. It finally seems to have broke and he ain't near as lethargic as earlier. Glad it wasn't one that hung on for days on end.
