It's getting better everyday...

Well, I finally got a job! It's through Office Team so it's temp-to-hire. But it's close to home which was number on on my wishlist. It only takes me about ten to fifteen minutes to get here. I only get thirty minutes for lunch, but it makes it worth it because I get to leave at 4:30. I am the receptionist/secretary for a disaster restoration company. I started Friday, so I haven't had all that much to do yet, but I'm sure they'll give me more once I get settled in. So far I really like it. Everyone is very nice, unless that crappy job I had before.
Unfortunately, I've been sick for about a week now. It started with my throat scratchy and a runny nose. Then I got the sinus headache and stuffy nose. Now it's all draining which makes me cough a lot, but it's mixed in with that nasty thick phlem. Blech! I had a little bit of a fever yesterday (I could tell because my face was red) and I still had one this morning. But it's not so bad that I can't work. Which is good because I can't afford to miss already. I feel better now; I took some Dayquil this morning and a Mucinex at lunch.
On a different note...I haven't had my period yet this month! I know that it's a very big possibility, and actually I'd say it's most probable that I'm not pregant. Because I have PCOS. My periods aren't regular, and I've been known to miss a month or two here and there. But I have been regular for about the last four months. It is also quite possible that I'm late due to stress of trying to find a job and the whole deal with our house not being our own for a while (yes, Rhonda STILL hasn't moved out). But then I think...there is a little tiny possibility that I am pregnant. I don't wanna get my hopes up, but man I would be so happy. I'm holding out on taking a test until the end of the month. And probably til I get over this illness.

Sweet Child O' Mine

Here's a picture of my sweet baby girl. I took this last weekend. I was trying to get her to back up so I could get a full body shot, but she wanted to look at the camera. So I would try to push her back and she would giggle so I just started snapping. She's so precious. I love her more than anything. She's been cracking me up lately mimicking things on movies and videos she watches. One of her favorites is The Wizard of Oz. At the end of the tape, there's a little making of-type documentary hosted by Angela Lansbury and Corinn will recite it. I am still very concerned that she will be very behind with her verbal skills and some other things once she starts Kindergarten next fall, but I have seen a lot of improvement in the last six months as well. And she is very smart when it comes to letters and numbers. She knows how to spell quite a lot of words already and can count very high. She even knows how to add - just beginning adding like 1+1 = 2, 2 + 1 = 3, 3 + 1 = 4, and so forth. She has this little easel with magnetic numbers and letters, and each day she will do a little more adding on it (with either Ros or myself). I think she's gotten to like 130-something so far.

Speaking of children, I have really been reminiscing lately. I miss being a kid. I miss playing Barbies or Ponies in my room while listening to music, or playing with my brother in his room. I miss Saturday morning cartoons and all the great shows I used to watch. Remember that show Jennifer Slept Here? It had Ann Jillian in it. She was like a ghost of a movie star that still hung around her old house and only the teenage boy that lives there can see her. I've been trying to find some kind of clips from it on youtube or even just the theme somewhere on the net, but all I've found are a couple of pictures. I don't really remember too much about the show, just that I liked it when I was a kid and thought Ann Jillian was pretty. If I'm not mistaken, I watched this show around the same time as Silver Spoons, one of my all-time favorite shows as a kid. I really wish that would come out on DVD. I think what reminded me of Jennifer Slept Here was that I have this videotape of Alice In Wonderland, an all-star cast version that aired in the late 80s. I was very excited when I found it on video a few years ago because I used to have it on a tape that I recorded directly from TV when it aired. But the tape was long gone. Anyway, now Corinn loves to watch it. And Ann Jillian plays the Red Queen in it.

I was also doing some remiscing on youtube this morning and found a cute little clip from Punky Brewster: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZpKIbN48KcE. I know this is on DVD, but I've never gotten around to buying it.

Another thing I've been reminiscing about is My Little Pony. Corinn is very much into them now, but they look much different than when I was a kid. So I found these really cool websites:
http://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/index.htm, and http://www.kimsites.net/dreamvalley/index.html. Browsing through these sites, I recognized things I completely forgot I had. Ah the good ol' days...

Come on now love, don't you look back

I decided to change my layout and changed the video to my favorite U2 song :).

Still job searching. I'm working part-time at the travel agency where my mom works. It's not much money and only from 9-1, but at least it's a little money and I have the afternoons free for interviews (if I ever get any). I'm about ready to change careers. Not that I ever really had one...
