    Wednesday chatting

    And, it's looking like it might be a wet one.  Much cooler today, but they say by tonight it will be much cooler still.  Whew!  Heat is not my friend!  I simply do not do well in high temps and when you add in humidity, well, I might as well stay in bed.

    And......drumroll please.....I have a job interview on Friday for something I'd really like to do.  It combines my sales and marketing background with my volunteer (helping people) work so should be a perfect fit.  And, because it's only 30 hours per week, flex schedule, I won't have to quit what I'm doing now.  Oh, and THIS gig offers benefits which would be delightful!  So, good vibes and fingers crossed please?

    Need to go into the office for a few hours today so best kick it into gear.  Have a great day everyone!

    Lots of good interview vibes!

    Quiet morning and the weather is p e r f e c t. 70ish no humidity and the sun is shining. I will be in the field this morning too which makes it even better.

    Im thinking training is cancelled tonight which would be good. I could use the time to finish up my room. Abbie needs some practice though

    Im not looking forward to missing my doggies for a whole week :(

    I have to work until noon and then off until next Tuesday !  Spending the afternoon at the zoo before seeing Indigo Girls in concert there. It will be a perfect eveing for an outdoor concert.

    Really frustrated with work but otherwise all is well.

    See ya!

    Glenda, lots of "hire Glenda" vibes coming your way! It sounds like a great opportunity!

    I'm going dress-up (work) clothes shopping in a bit (ugh!) and because I am so horrible at it and I get overwhelmed very easily (and then start to cry), I'm bringing a friend who teaches fashion design, etc. at the college. She knows what she's doing and she knows me. She gave me some "homework"--ideas with pictures to think about and they were all what I would wear. Now, it's finding the stuff!  But, she's good at that, too. We're going to a big mall...I wonder if I'll need some valium.

    It's supposed to cool off a but here, but it hasn't yet.

    • Gold Top Dog

    Kate, I'm with you on the dressing/shopping.  Skip the valium and go straight for the vodka.

    Good luck with the interview, Glenda.

    Beautiful day here, too.  The work beckons, so I must get to it.

    Amen to that sistah !!  After 4 or 5 Bloody Marys you'll look maaahhhvelous in anything !!!

    Good luck on the potential new job, Glenda.

    I wonder if Karen and Bugs survived the night ???

    Nothing exciting here . . . . taking Jamison to the Vets for his shots this afternoon and that's about it.

    Good luck on the job interview, Glenda!  Benefits!  Now that would be sweet.  :)

    Kate, I'm right there with you on clothes shopping, especially dress-up clothes.  It's great you've got a friend with such skills to go with you.  If I drank before clothes shopping, I'd end up skipping the whole thing. lol 

    Not much new around here today.  Hot and humid and busy at work.  Today is Gabby's gotcha day but I really like Kate's phrase better and it's more descriptive.  Found ya, day.  lol 

    Karen, I had a great idea last night about your a/c.  Until you can sell enough plasma to get it fixed or replaced, tie a fan to Bugsy's tail.  That should create quite a breeze. :)

    Good thot Jackie -- I'm always threatening to take envelopes home for the pug to lick!!

    Glenda -- GOOD LUCK!!  That would be great for you.

    Kate - I gave up about a year ago -- found a place online that I like to order stuff from for me and never looked back!  I react to malls the same way.

    Jackie -- I'm not surprised Ms. Gabby is so fond of you -- you were the one to find her and get her into her better life.  You're "stuck" with all that unconditional love, Jackie -- it's a great thing to be stuck with!

    Started my day by killing a wasp's nest out my back door.  I sprayed it yesterday so now they've started 6 little nests all over the roof of my back awning.  ugh

    Temps are going to be 95 today instead of 105 whooohoo!  May even get a sprinkle or two. 

    Karen I feel for you...our AC is still broke.  We have 2 small window units to keep Ron and the boys cool during the day but it only cool 2 rooms soooo  I am gonna have to get creative.   Since it is a heat pump....that means I have to come up with the money for a replacement before winter.  Yuck, been thinkin about hangin out on the corner, under the street light, at the retirement home, Wink lol!

    My Granddaughter is home on leave til the 23rd.  We got a message from her last night.  She is going to spend some time with her Mom and Sis and we should see her in the next few days.  Thanks so much for all your thoughts and prayers going her way and to all the men and women protecting our right to be free.

    Everyone have a good day.  I will send you calm shopping vibes Kate.  I hate to shop so I can certainly understand your need for alcohol and valium.

    Great news!  I am sorry to hear that your a/c is still broken. :(   You know if I can be of any help from here, I'm happy to give you my two cents of advice.  You could probably earn enough for you and Karen to get new units if you work it right at the retirement home. Wink  I get lots of attention from the elderly men I encounter.  I can't imagine why they don't flirt with women their own age. Big Smile

    2 different opinions agree that there is more than one problem and it would be more cost effective to get a new unit....easy for them to say, ha!  I will call on your expertise once I figure out where the money is gonna come from.  If I had a cow...I would sell it,lol.  I have a couple of ideas but need to think them through.  I did submit an application for the $50,000.00 energy makeover our Electric co-op has every summer.  Winning vibes out there anyone?

    Deb, I love fries, crispy and golden on the outside...soft on the inside.  Never heard of that garlic dipping sauce stuff, but I love garlic anything so I would prolly love that.  I dont usually put anything on my fries but a little salt.  I actually try to steer clear of fries cause I do love them so much I dont know when to stop.. Ocassionally I do have a carb attack and must have them!

    It's like a garlicky mayo.  I absolutely detest ketchup and would rather stick needles in my eyes than eat it, so I usually do mayo on my burgers and fries.  I know it sounds gross, but try it sometime !!

    I detest French fries.  I know, how un-American.  I don't like Oreos either.

    Really? Detest? I can't think of any food I detest but that's why I was such a chubbo when I was younger. I adore french fries and I agree that mayo is much better for dipping than ketchup.

    We have some training going on here all day, so I ordered pizzas for everyone. I really have tons of work to get done but it's going to have to wait until tomorrow.

    Glenda - good luck with the interview!!

    It's so cool this morning that I almost wore a long sleeved shirt. It's supposed to reach 80 though, so I decided not to. Our avg temp for this time of year is 94, so these 80s are a nice surprise and the 50s at night make for great sleeping weather.
