I feel like a rebel today. I know that is a completely ridiculous thought, though. I have always respected my work environment enough to dress appropriately for business, even though this environment is decidedly casual. Well, today I am wearing the tennies, jean capri's a tank top and a fun outer-shirt. I usually reserve the casual look for the weekends and personal time. I look like I am headed off to the beach. I want to be at the beach. I don't want to be here.

I should hear back about the San Antonio job today. The shoe guy will also be calling me today for my interview time. I want the San Antonio job. The shoe job will be an acceptable alternative.

We were talking to the sales manager at the gym last night. He looked at me and said, "You've lost some weight, girl. I can see it in your face, especially." Then Scott's work-out buddy said, "Yeah, I can definitely tell you've lost some weight. You look great." Woohoo. They were the first ones to notice all by themselves AND they were MEN. That was pretty cool. Usually men are the last ones to notice that type of change. I guess we all like our first compliments, right? My weight was the same yesterday, but I still got a few days left to lose that 1.25 lbs. I'm gonna do it! May 2nd I am going to weigh in under 300 lbs!

Alternate Job Update: My interview is Friday at 9:30 with the shoe guy's CPA. All candidates have to be tested by the CPA to make sure they have accounting skills. (???) The more this guy talks, the less appealing the job environment becomes. I had some doubts yesterday. I have even more doubts now. Let's see....what was one of my favorite questions??? Oh, it's got to be "Do you have your own means of transportation?" WTF??? The first answer that came to the very tip of my tongue is, thankfully, not the one I gave! What was my second fav??? "Have you ever prepared financial statements before? You know, completely on your own?" Again with the tongue biting there. Did he miss the whole public accounting page of my resume? Oh yeah, he also wanted to make sure that I would be able to operate his little Macola system because, according to him, it is very different from QuickBooks (You don't say?Doh!)...He must have missed the part in my resume where I spent FOUR YEARS installing, selling, supporting and training people how to use mid-range accounting systems. Either that or this guy is a big dope.....I hope I can call this guy back and cancel the interview. Where is San Antonio????? He should have called me by now!

Hello? San Antonio? Can you hear me? For the love of all things sacred, please save me from the shoe guy! Nooooooo, not the shoe guy! LOL.

At least the shoe guy has a pulse? If not an actual brain or reading comprehension skills? Okay, that is progress....

Update:
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Watch out San Antonio....here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

'Scuse me you sexist pigs...TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT! And the shoe job, while you're at it!

More: Okay, so I have calmed down a little from the high. I go to San Antonio Monday and they are going to help me find the right part of town to move the family to and show me around. They said that they actually have quite a bit of work here in Houston to keep me busy for a while so the pressure to move right away is gone. They will put me in an extended stay for the first three or four weeks for training and I will be home on the weekends. Then I will work from home to serve the Houston clients until we can get moved. What an absolutely perfect arrangement and a huge blessing. Can it really get any better than this?

Hopefully we can get outa here before hurricane season kicks up again.

Cindy, the brightest color in your aura is Red

Contrary to popular myth, auras are actually multi-colored energy fields that can be divided into seven primary layers. Having Red as your brightest color means that the first layer of your aura is the most vibrant. You most likely experience exceptional physical health, which gives you great vitality and energy. Your deep connection to your body makes it easier for you to express your spirit, and you're more open than most to cultivating life's lessons.

I like red. Especially red cars. My favorite color is a dirivitive of red. I'll buy it...
