Time to get things in order

I have a lot of things to get in order.  For one, I will be managing my Uncle's business, as well as working full time (nights), and quite possibly taking on a part time job as a tutor!  Updates soon.

Update and Other random Stuff

So I started my new job Wednesday.  So far so good.  The folk are a lil younger than me, but that's no biggie.  The place seems to be a bit disorganized as there is totally new management and attrition is like no other there.  Despite all that I am looking forward to working overtime and making up for the last two years Ive been home rearing my daughter.

It was hard for me to leave my daughter last week.  Although I knew she was in good hands it was still difficult to leave.  She however wasn't phased a bit LOL!!!  She was with her Nana so she was in kiddie heaven.

I did a MUAC Radiance Peel Thursday before going to work.  My face was very smooth.  It was also a bit on the dry side so I have to up my moisturizer intake.  I also make sure to apply sunscreen on a daily.  I will rid myself of this hyperpigmentation.

Today I bought Cod Liver oil because of the Omega 3 fatty acid.  I also took my Moms Hair, Skin , and Nail vitamins she ordered offline for a whopping $70!  Who pays $70 for nail, hair and skin vitamins you ask?  My Mom that's who LOL!!!

I'm going to do another 40% Lactic Acid peel tomorrow night.  My skin is very smooth but the marks are still there.

I went to a few stores today.  The weather was great, my Daughter was with her father and I had the day to myself.  I hit up 3 Marshall's, 1 TJMaxx, and 1 Ross.  I bought my daughter a pair of shoes and a pack of socks.  I bought myself Cod liver oil mentioned earlier and a couple packs of socks.  I also went to the gym.

All in all today was a good day.  I meet up with one of my girlfriends tomorrow for lunch and a catch up session.  Take care!!  I told you in the title this was a random post LOL!!!  Toodles!!

7 months preggo...

Today I am officially 7 months preggo!!

Yesterday, for the first time, I was told by someone who work in my building that I am huge. She emphasized huge and kept tlooking at my belly. Actually it went down like this:

Me: Hey!! How are you? Happy New Year!!
Her: Hey! Oooooh you getting big!! How far along are you?
Me: 7 Months!!
Her: And you still have 2 months to go?!?!?!? You are really gonna get big.
Me: Well, we shall see (I then proceeded to go into the bathromm stall. All the while I was thinking 'BITCH!!!')

Besides, my family and man have both said I have not gained a lot of weight except in my belly and boobies. And I happen to agree!!!!

Oh well, I never expected to remain a size 6 during my pregnancy (or did I?)

Chi-Town!!!

I want her eyebrows. This is going to be a random post. So bear/bare (I dont know which one) (LOL!!!) with me!!

I went to Chicago to celebrate the Fourth of July and to experience The Taste of Chicago. My sis and I had an absolute blast!!! We ate and ate and ate some more. I KNOW I gained every bit of 5 pounds while there.

The pizza in Chicago is hands down the best pizza I have EVER eaten!!! I can not fathom eating another Pizza Hut or Pappa John's pizza again. Why put myself throught the torture?!?!?!?!

Random yet interesting tid bit...

First of all, I just received a call from the first company I interviewed with...  remember this post .  Well I was just offered the position with a start date.  I was given a monetary amount that I was not happy with.  I communicated to them the lowest amount I am willing to accept and am now awaiting another call.

Now on to the interesting tid bit.  I was outside sitting on a lawn chair when I noticed a police car.  Now it is not uncommon to see police cars around my neighborhood because we have a high school one block away.  They are there all day.  In fact, police stay there damn near 24 hours due to speed traps they have set up.  Anywhoo, I was sitting in my lawn chair when I noticed several cop cars speeding down the street.  Being the concerned (read nosey) neighbor that I am, I went to the front of the lawn to see what was going on.  Well down the street I notice 4 police officers running through someone's yard.  Y' all this type of stuff don't happen around here, so I found it very exciting. 

I sat and watched the on goings for another 5-10 minutes before I noticed a cop car hastily driving off.  Well, I proceeded to walk down the block to see what was going on (told y'all I'm nosey).  I notice a lil black boy running from the cops.  Well, actually,  he wasn't really running.  He was actually only going fast  enough (very slow jog) to remain ahead of the cop that was within his eye sight LOL!!! It was the funniest stuff I have seen in a while.  It was COPS worthy y'all!!!  He eventually picked up speed and lost the cop.  The cop looked heated y'all (literally and figuratively)!!!!  It is a nice 80 degrees out here today.  The lil black kid had on a black tee shirt and shorts.  The cop had on full cop gear (shirt, pants, and all that other jazz).  He  was sweating his ass off.

Well wouldn't you know, one of my elderly white neighbors came out to see what all the excitement was about.  Just as the neighbor came out, a cop car came down our street and stopped suddenly in front of my elderly white neighbor.  He loudly asked him  if he saw a black boy in a black tee shirt.  Now, mind y'all, this is the same cop who passed me by several times.  Did he ask me?  Yes, yes he did.  Only after driving around for a while longer did he finally ask me.  Oh, did I mention my elderly white neighbor lives 2 doors down and it would not taken any time to ask me when he initially asked my elderly white neighbor. 

Well, I simply replied no I haven't seen anything.  Truth is, by the time he asked me, that lil black boy was no where near where I saw him.  Would I have told had I been asked after immediate seeing the boy.  Um, I really don't know.....

Well I have updates....

I spoke with a rep from the company I interviewed with 2 weeks ago. I was told I am definitely wanted for the position I interviewed for. However, the company is in the process of organizing the team I will be a member of, and does not want to offer a start date until they have everything on their end straight.

I am confident this position will be mine!!! I think I stated this in an earlier thread. LOL!!!!

Anyways,I am thinking of getting on the road one day next week and driving to the ATL. I have no reason to go other than to visit my lil sister and hang out and have a nice time until I begin working. I may also apply for a few jobs while down there. My only issue is driving the 8 hours alone. I am not afraid of the drive. I get tired after driving 3 hours!!! So one only knows how I will be after 8 hours. I would fly down there, but my lil sis is taking real estate classes on the weekends and I need to have transportation to get around.

Y'all, I swear I have a feeling if I go down there looking for employment, I will definitely find a job....like instantly!! Who knows what the future holds. I am simply excited about my future!!

Oh, I have a bug on my laptop. So if you find errors within my post, it's b/c of the bug. It causes my pointer to go random places and wherever it placed, that is where my typing begins :\

I have an intereview tomorrow...Plus other randomness

Well, considering I have been a lazy ass when it comes to updating this blog (and other things in general), I haven't had the opportunity to keep you guys updated with my job situation...or lack thereof.

Well, I had an interview two weeks ago. The interview went exceptionally well and I left that interview thinking I had a 97% chance of receiving an offer. The 3% uncertainty came in due to salary expectations. This is a smaller company and although when asked the lowest salary I would accept, I sensed a bit of apprehension on the part of the interviewer. Well, a few days ago, I called HR to do a follow up and inquire of the status of the position(s) I interviewed for (yeah, they wanted me in two different departments). I was told the paperwork has been forwarded to the appropriate people , but I was still in the 'mix'. Her words exactly.....'MIX'...LOL!!!

Anyways, I have an interview with another company tomorrow and I really want to get on with this company. For some reason, I have a great feeling about this interview tomorrow. I feel as if this job is mine and I am going to 'claim' it!!

Once I get this job (because I know I will) I will once again begin my home search!! I am especially excited about the home search. I have been envisioning myself in my new position with this new job AND in my new home. How can I go wrong? I CAN"T!!!!

What more can I say? I am expecting the best!! I know I am going to get it too.

The past 3 months haven't been as productive as I would have liked. But I have been getting in excellent shape, working out constantly and am actually running a 10k next Saturday!! So it hasn't been all bad!

My pooch, Houston, has been ill and he has been to several vet visits only to have to go to an internal specialist. The specialist then says they recommend he goes to another specialist in Northern VA to have an MRI. Da hell?! $1600 for my furbaby to have an MRI then another ridiculous amount to have surgery to correct whatever the MRI identifies as the problem. Well, I am going to take him to another vet and get a second opinion before I dish out all that cash!! I may have been born at night, but it sure as hell wasn't last night!!

My hair is thriving!! My hair reaches my armpit and is steady growing. Actually, some parts reach bra strap, but I wont claim bra strap length until 98% of my hair is that length. I wear it pulled back unless I am going 'out'. Besides, I work out 5 times a week and I must have an easy pull back or bun. But as for the weekends, it's hanging and swanging ;-)

I will let you guys know how the interview went!! I know all 3 of my readers are anticipating an update! LOL!!!!
