Interviews update...

Hello, hello!
My legs, abs and arms may fall off today.
They hurt from working out.
Walking up/down the stairs to work today was embarassing.
I moved like an old woman and said, "ow" with each step.
I have also felt a tinsy bit less hungry,
still hungry, but not hungry enough to eat my arm or Potter.
But it feels good/healthy and I will win!

In other updates, we will now talk interview talk:

First interview:
Went good, he is over qualified, and doesn't think it will pay that much. It is like an assistant to the psychologist at the hospital. So we will see.

Second interview:
Went awesome. Brian said he felt really comfortable and like they liked him. Another plus is that they are hiring for multiple positions, so we shall see. They are doing second interviews later this week. Salary wise, we think it may be a little bit lower than we wanted but not bad. It is doing pretty much what Brian was doing in MI. Fingers crossed!

I will keep you updated.
Brian's family has been generous and is letting me stay with them while Brian is gone. They are nice and I am excited to have a "girls" day on saturday with Andrea and Sue. We are going to do some fun girly things (some things may be too girly to be named).

Took Friday off today. No plans thus far, I probably should study for the state of michigan exam I have to take for work, but... I could just take a mental health day, read, go on a long bike ride, write my book, study new moves for my abs, etc... Let's take a vote. What should I do on my day off on Friday?

Internet

Grrrr....
First our wireless router stopped working
so to use the internet at home we had to sit on the floor inches from the tv
or lean precariously off the love seat in the direction of the tv.
Now our internet isn't working at all.
So frustrating.
I am actually at work at a decent time today so that's why I am online.
But here almost all good sites are blocked.
Enough venting.

Brian made it safely to Kansas City.
It took him around 12 hours,
three diet cokes, a rainstorm and 12 mixed cds later
he is at Erin and Timmy's.
I am totally jealous.
Back to the daily grind.

PS. Potter is acting mopey. Last night she laid under our kitchen table and stared at the door. She didn't even really want to cuddle. She also has what we refer to as her "sad ears" on, where she looks like a house elf from Harry Potter. I think she misses Brian. (just like me)

I am so stressed with all that needs to be done.
I am sitting here on the computer.
Typical Amy behaviour.
I can't decide where to start.
We have A LOT of stuff.

Brian and I have made a friendly wager.
Whoever loses the most weight,
from tomorrow until I move to Kansas,
gets to buy a massage.
I am in it to win it.
Apparently it is the "thing" in my family.
To run a 5k.
So I am going to start training too.

Okay, I should get back to packing
Brian is looking at me crankily.
I wish I could just sit on our deck reading a book.
Time to get back to work.

Wink!

Nothing new to update. We have a lot of packing, laundry and what not to do this weekend.
Brian is leaving early Monday morning.
I am going to be lonely.
I can't even begin to imagine how much love/cuddling Potter is going to need from me.


I thought I would post about a conversation Brian and I had last night:


We were laying in bed and started winking at each other.
Brian asked if I had to close both eyes before I could wink.
I told him that I was just being silly.
(Which, unfortunely, is a common occurance.)
I also told him how I used to not be able to wink with my right eye.
He didn't believe me, so I told him the story.
Every night for around a year, I worked out the muscles of my right eye.
I would put my eye on the pillow and work it out by opening and closing it.
Guess who has the most powerful eye in the world now...
ME!
I can easily wink both eyes.


This is a useless post.

But anyways, I am trying to be a more consistent blogger.

Have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather!

Update!

Two interviews set up for Brian on 4/29!
Hip hip hooray!

Having a bad day at work.
Two people in a row swore at me, a lot.
Frustrating!
Hungry!

I wish I could go to Kansas too....

Moving update...

One week down, and one more week for Brian at his current job.

It is getting exciting (and slightly scarier).

He has one (maybe two) interviews lined up for his first week in KC.

He leaves on Monday, April 27th.

We just pray that the Grand Am can make it.

I am more than ready for some better hours

but I would actually really like my job

it if weren't for the horrible hours.



I should get back to work.

YUCK!



Plans for the weekend:

Packing, watching Newsies, Oscar party with the LaBenne's. (Every year we have a contest to see who can guess the most amount correct, Brian won for the second year in a row, meaning he gets to pick a movie and a meal for us to make, I am making goat cheese red pepper cups, and they are super delicious. He also picked black bean burgers, "the good salad" and sweet potato fries, I am getting hungry thinking about it)



PS. My book is on hold until I can de-stress enough to write again, AKA, Brian get's a job. If I were a vampire, I would love my work schedule. If I were a vampire, I wouldn't be able to eat cheese. If I were normal, I wouldn't have typed those last two sentences...



GOTTA GO WORK FOR THE WEEKEND!!! (Did I mention it is beautiful outside?)

There are few things I hate more than my work schedule right now...

I will have been at work 2 hours when Brian gets home from work.
Meaning, I won't see him for another 7 hours.
It stinks.
It really puts a damper on my (our) nights
and makes things like grocery shopping difficult.

AH! I don't know how much longer of this I can take.
Hopefully I won't have to.
Brian has already had two phone calls for interviews in KC.
