Life as I knew it..over!

Well, then...so, here I was thinking that the interview I went to would be a practice run. Must have done something right. I have a job! Starting 4/2/15...exciting, and scared and sad all at once. Thank you, God. Interviews are scary. And I think I will like it. I will just miss my little Lucy goo, and Melvin mittens. Holy cannoli! I am a working woman! Sitting here realizing it's my last Monday not working so I have been running around like crazy trying to get everything done that I wanted to get done in the last few months! Go figure, procrastinater!
On the Erin update, turns out we are going to get second opinion. I looked at his radiologist report and it says right on there "complete tear ACL" I was quite unhappy that we were not told of this issue. So, I requested all of the Dr.s clinic / progress notes. Get this, All the Dr. Put down was, "spoke to patient" seriously??? So, people be your own advocate. When they say practicing medicine, they literally mean, "practicing" and guess who is the Ginny pig? What a shame, is all I have to say right now. Poor, poor, Doctoring. So we will see.
Our house is still a work in progress, that has been kinda put on hold due to Erin's knee.
We finished watching Sons of Anarchy, all 7 seasons in 5 1/2 weeks!! Crazy, brutal, but addicting. Glad it's over,...but, will miss it a little ;)
Now, it's just Survivor and Amazing Race.....Oh, and General Hospital

Spent this last weekend with some ol friends, blended our own wine. Very fun. Great people. And ended the weekend making new friends. Put out all our backyard umbrellas and cushions. Looking forward to making lots of new memories in our new home. Now my husband needs to heal.


So, this is it, life for me, is changing daily....I guess that's a good thing. Change is good

St. Patrick's Day

So, Every year wether  we love it or not I make corned beef and cabbage.. I guess, because, it's a holiday, and to change things up from regular dinners. One day, dedicated to a food, that normally, I would not cook. But, My husband does have some Irish in him. So, we will celebrate it. Today, though, I decided it will either be, corned beef and collard greens or kale because that's what I have. Debating on running to the store to get cabbage. I probably will not, since it seems silly. It's just us. And it will be fun changing it up.  I will just cook them on the side. I added a Lost Coast brewing company IPA to the crockpot . Instead of water. I think it will come out just fine. I will keep you posted. Just came home from lunch with my neighbor, met her at work and we went to Crepevine. First time I've had a crepe sandwich thingy.. Very good. I had "the Philly" love finding new places. Now, I'm hoping I didn't ruin my dinner, cause I'm full... Ugh..I'm sure I'll make room for some later.

We are now on Season 6 episode 3 of sons of anarchy. Don't start if you didn't watch! Warning! Very addictive and brutal. Thankfully, I think there is only 7 seasons. Crazy, crazy show. It will make you bonkers. Just keeping up with everything is crazy. It has kept Erin down, so that's been good. I do enjoy Jax Teller :)

• Well, house smells yummy, doors are all open. Gorgeous Day. Happy St.Pattys Day 

First one down..

Interview out of the way. I don't know why I was so nervous. I guess, cause I've been out of the game for a bit. Just happy that I had a call back.  So I've learned, my resume, I guess, is being looked at. I Haven't been just sending all these out to nowhere land. That alone is a good feeling. So, I continue, keep on, keeping on. Until the right job comes along. That's my motto now :)

We got my Dads apt. Ready and rented. Yay.. Out of the way. Seems like a good fit. Hopefully, they are what they seem. Nice, responsible, young couple. It helps that we know her parents. Thank you, first off my husband, and second, my nephew Mikey. Both are sick, not to mention Erin's knee is still in a brace. They had to put up a wall, tear apart and fix a sink, tear apart and fix the shower, and install a heater. In like a minute.Done! They are my super heros Thanks again. Love you both.

We are pooped out... Now, time for him to heal.. And take a break..

Well, I'm ready, bring on more interviews..

Happy call ..

I just heard from my nephew. ❤️ Basically, I can't tell you much more or I will have to off you... Lol,.. Just kidding. But, I miss that little movie watching, fun-loving, down for anything, always up for anything guy. My little Benny Boy. Thank you for the call. Please keep them coming. Miss you. And congrats on the test you passed. Be safe.

So, I have my first interview tomorrow. Wish me luck.. I am so nervous..this is ridiculous. How do I calm my nerves. Reminder to self. No coffee before interview. And it's no biggie. You are smart, and capable. So go in positive, right.. Any pointers anyone??

So today I've learned to pick up all my calls.. You don't know who it might be ....

Missed call..

So, missed a call. Dang. My cell phone was in my purse and I missed that Oh, so important call from a LIVE person who wanted to schedule an interview with me... Dang! Called right back to get their message machine. Please call me back. It's funny how life is. You wait for something, like this call. And I miss it. And now I am so nervous that I will say something wrong. Or, did I leave a crazy, nervous, sounding message on her machine that might blow my opportunity. Just take a deep breath and call again?? Or take a deep breath and hope she calls me back?? I'm confounded. So, I take to writing it down. Maybe this will help my mind settle.

As for last nights dinner, salmon was yummy. I didn't measure but, this is what I used

2 wild frozen salmon (thawed)

Marinade

Balsamic vinager 

Honey

Garlic

Brown mustard with Horseradish 

Pepper 

Lemon

Let marinade in fridge for about 2 hours

Then cooked @ 375 for 30 ish minutes.

Well, I hope she calls me back.. Still debating if I should call again

Probably will.

"Wednesday" Hump day

Today is drizzling,  and quite the opposite of how it's been. I will call it a lazy day.

Thought I'd check in ..

Making dinner, please let it come out. I tasted the marinade, I concoctioned. And didn't love it. Then realized the mustard I used has horseradish in it. Not my favorite.. But, the only thing saving me is Erin does like horseradish. So, maybe my Salmon will come out good. If it does I will jot down what I did. So, dinner tonight is Salmon, served with quinoa, kale with broccoli.

Tonight is Survivor.... Kinda goes with the weather. So, we will be hanging out here. Erin's knee up with ice still. And still has cough. 😷

Why do they call Wednesdays Hump day??

Spring Forward...

A Gorgeous day here. It's hard to enjoy when I know we need rain. But, it's beautiful and here. So enjoy it.

I've been faithfully sending out resume after resume and only one response. Scheduled an appt. with a employment agency for next week. Must work, will work... just keep on, keeping on... And the right job will come along. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile trying to keep up with my computer skills. Even blogging is a little challenging. But, I keep saying, I use to journal. So it should be a no-brainer, right?? That's why I keep insisting I write on this blog to keep my computer skills up. Sadly, I've written two drafts that I've saved and don't know where they went. So Blog-master I haven't concurred yet, but, I won't give up. I will just keep on writing until one stays! 

My Super Husband hurt his knee on Presidents' Day and the Dr. , after X-Rays and MRI' said lite duty till the end of April .LOL Those that know my husband. That's nearly impossible. He is one hard working dude. Rest usually only applies to others, or vacations.  He also came down with a cold/cough. Poor guy. So, I will be babying him as much as he will let me.  He needs rest. And he's well worth the babying ❤️

My niece set us up with Netflix.. Thank you to her :) She started us on Sons of Anarchy. A little crazy and brutal.. But, very addictive. Which is good, Erin can sit, put his leg up, and watch crazy bikers go all Soprano on each other! Didn't think I'd watch., but now I'm full in. Season 3 almost done. And Jax isn't bad to watch either. Now I fully understand my neighbor and niece. Cutie!

Bachelor is almost over. Still bummed that Brit went home. She should be next Bachelorette. Survivor started. And Amazing race has a great twist this year.. Clever writers! Love the twist.

Today is Friday, Tomorrow is the end of daylight savings.. So Spring Forward everyone tomorrow night... why, oh why don't they just leave it alone???
