1. While I was laid off I discovered that movies are $5 before noon at the theater near my house. So I ended up seeing quite a few movies to break up the monotony.

2. Recently I discovered something even better than the $5 movies when I found out about Redbox. They are vending machines that dispense DVDs. They have current movies, I rented Sex and the City the same day it was released. Best of all, the movies are only $1 plus tax and you can return them to any location. Take a look at the site to see if they're in your area.

3. I'm such a bookworm and nerd that I know that yesterday was the last day of Banned Books Week lol. Banned Books Week is a celebration of our intellectual freedom. In honor of the week I read The Giver by Lois Lowry and The Color Purple. Both books were excellent, even though The Giver is a young adult book it really made me think.

4. I am the Queen of Procrastination. Meikmeika's recent post reminded me about the sewing class I took last December and the fact that I have yet to complete a garment. I do however, have several in different stages of completion.

5. I absolutely cannot drive without taking off my right shoe. Even if I'm wearing flip flops or sneakers it just doesn't feel right.

6. All the doors in my bedroom or any room that I sleep in(including the closet and dresser drawers), have to be closed or I can't fall asleep.

Ok, that's all the neuroses that I'm going to share today! I'm entirely too lazy to look for people to tag so... If you're reading this and want to play along then you're it!

Good News

After months of barely getting bites despite sending out literally hundreds of resumes, I finally got a call while I was in the car last Tuesday to set up an interview. I jotted down the information and continued running errands.

On Friday, I was completely stressed on my way to the interview because I just knew I was going to be late; I kept getting caught by every light and a train, mind you I don't think I've ever seen the stupid train cross in the middle of the day before. At any rate I ended up getting to there on time. I introduced myself to the interviewer who proceeded to tell me that we must have had a mix up on the dates because my interview was scheduled for the 25th... not the 26th. {Sigh}

I thought I'd probably destroyed any chance of me getting the job, even though the interview rocked (if I do say so myself). After all, who shows up a day late to an interview? So imagine my surprise when a former co-worker called to tell me that she got a call requesting a reference for me. And then I got a text message from another old co-worker. So I got excited all over again.

Well today, I got a call and a job offer! Whoo hoo!!!
