What I hear: The Emergency by BT
Where to begin tonight? I think I should write sooner in the evening because I seem to be a bit more sane. The later it gets the wackier I get, so we'll see where this goes.
First of all...WHY are Sock Monkeys $30? It's a stuffed animal for goodness sake! I know it sounds strange, but my husband has been on a sock monkey kick for about a month now and I really want to find one for him, but $30? REALLY? I don't know why the man wants one, but he does. And you know what started it? That commercial they showed during the Super Bowl with the toys all riding around bowling and jet skiing and stuff. And when he saw the sock monkey on there he proclaimed that he thought they were cool and he wanted one. I kinda find it strange, but whatever. I love him, so I want to find one. I'm sure I could find one on ebay(yep there's some on there running about $10 - 25). And he doesn't want the creepy looking one with the buggy eyes. He wants the original sock monkey.
So that's one of my quests right now. Weird.
David also pointed out to me today something pretty cool that we would both LOVE to do, but financially its not going to happen. It's this HUGE dance music festival at the end of March in Miami. Wish we both had decent jobs because several of our faves will be there (minus BT unfortunately...that would be the deal breaker I think....LOVE BT!!) The cost reminds me a little of Fan Fair (CMA Music Fest whatever its called now) except FF lasts 4 days whereas this one only lasts 2. It's a 12 hour drive to get to Miami from here, so gas would suck, then hotel, food and $280 for both of us to get in to this thing. I'd love to do it, but that is something you plan all year to attend and it's not gonna happen in a month for us. So, we're kinda bummed, but now that we know about it we will definitely plan for next year.
Tomorrow I get some freedom. I have to get up super early and take hubby to work so I can have the car. Am going job hunting tomorrow. I have absolutely no idea where I am going other than the Publix down the street to see if they need a cake decorator in the bakery. I know David would kill me, but I COULD hit up the Hallmark since I worked for them in Savannah (there's a store right down the street from me owned by the same people who own the Savannah store), but the only way I would work for that store is just to do stock or displays or things of the like. I don't want to do sales or whatever. AND I KNOW they already suck on the pay scale so I don't think I should waste my time, but who knows? I do know they are moving locations I think next week so maybe they could use some help doing that.
Anyway, other than that I don't know what I am going to do. I wish there were a reliable job finding site that winnowed out the fake jobs from the real ones. I hate seeing 200 postings for MYSTERY SHOPPING JOBS! WORK FROM HOME JOBS! etc etc. You know what I am talking about.
UM...I think I am going to do a bit of research tonight and create some flyers I can post at the mail centers in my complex here for my Mary Kay. Of all jobs I could look for, my MK biz would profit me the most if I could just figure it out and quit being such a chicken to go out and meet people. There's a Career Conference on the 19th and 20th of next month I really want to go. I really need to get my butt in gear with it. It could be so much more beneficial to me than working my butt off with someone else telling me what to do and when I can and can't go do the things I want to do. I just need to be harder on myself to get out there and do it.
You know what's funny about doing MK to me though? I can see myself doing the business. I can literally visualize it in my head being outgoing and doing the classes and getting to know people and having money and driving the cars and everything, but for some reason in real life I CLAM UP and just can't bring myself to do it. I'm only standing in my own way and that drives me nuts! What is wrong with me? I think if I make myself some new temporary business cards (until I can afford to order a new set), make up some flyers and try to get a class going...just to see where that gets me here. I have to do something with all this time I am wasting at home every day. (THANKS ME FOR VENTING ON MY BLOG...I'm feeling slightly motivated)
Ok enough for now. I have some work to do. Leave me some love, browse my MK site to humor me (sorry you are allergic Meg...that sucks), whatever.
♥♥ ME
