All dressed up and no place to go...

Just got home from the job fair downtown at the Coliseum. It really is a sad state of affairs out there. I passed out some resumes and talked to quite a few people, but there just doesn't seem to be much in the way of HR or accounting/admin available right at the moment. It did however feel pretty good to get all dressed up and spiffy looking. I even straightened my hair (no easy feat!) I wasn't ready to come home...I even called a few friends to see if they were available for lunch, but "oh that's right" everyone else has jobs! Silly me :)

The husband hurt his back on Tuesday while attempting to fix a leak underneath our kitchen sink (the plumber finally came and fixed it yesterday). Are all men complete babies when they are in pain? It's like I'm getting a flash-forward to when he's in his eighties...all hunched over, moaning, "get me my heating pad and ibuprofen...". Good Lord! He fell asleep with the heating pad on last night and I had to do some interesting maneuvers to get the thing turned off. The last thing we need is an electrical fire in bed! I know...I know...they are supposed to be safe and all, but I won't even leave the house unless the dryer is off and the toasters unplugged! Neurotic? Me? Nooooooooo. Anyway, I hope he is feeling better tonight.

So, here I sit among my animals in our fairly cluttered computer room pondering whether to have tuna or chicken salad for lunch...or maybe an omelet...hmmm. Actually, an omelet sounds pretty darn good...I think I have some chives, mushrooms, and swiss...oh yeah...an omelet it will be! Time to refuel the brain.

Enjoy the day!

To see snow or not to see snow...

We are definitely not used to these temperatures in Florida! I think it took a good hour for me to get my legs warmed up after sitting outside with friends for a few hours last night. I'm not kidding, husband said it was like crawling into bed with a side of beef. Alas, we did not see any snow ourselves, but there were a few sightings around the area. Honestly, I don't miss the cold weather like they have up North, as much as we complain about the heat in the middle of August and how you can't leave the house without your "face" melting off and don't even get me started on my definition of a "bad hair day", our weather is considerably mild. I would much rather take a couple weeks in the mid-30's than an entire winter season with below freezing temps!

We were so unproductive today simply because we didn't want to leave the house to brave the elements, but it was also nice to have a lazy day at home with the husband. We thought about going to see Sherlock Holmes, but again that would require trekking out of the house away from our central heat! I did catch lunch and a movie on Friday with my father. We went to see Avatar, I really enjoyed it. Yes, the plot was predictable, but it was a great story and the imagination that went into the film was something beyond this world. It was aesthetically the most beautiful film I have ever seen, two and a half hours flew by! I highly recommend it.

As for tomorrow, husband leaves for his weekly male-bonding session at disc golf and I get a few hours alone (not that I have had a shortage of this lately!). On the menu tomorrow Cuban roast pork with black beans and yellow rice...ahhhh...behold the glory that is the crock pot!

I bid goodnight to you all as I can no longer concentrate because husband feels that now is the time to get our two dogs riled up into a "barking let's fight over the ball" frenzy, despite my very calm requests that they KNOCK IT OFF! Really? Really?
