Insurance

When faced with the prospect having insurance again, I started to ponder what I would do with it. Well, yes, being able to go to the doctor without taking out a loan first is always a good thing.

• I need to glasses. Mine have chew marks from when Misty was a puppy.
• Going back to my Gyno. The guy at the clinic called me morbidly obese. Yes, I'm heavy, but it's not like you need a crane to lift me.
• With the family history of skin cancer, and deathly pale skin, I probably should be seeing a dermatologist regularly.

I don't want to be a statistic. A person that has to suffer an expensive cure because the cheaper maintenance wasn't done. it's true with both cars and people.

Horrible timing!!

We all know that part of the eating well is having a good breakfast. I'm doing that, with help of oatmeal.

Now I need to move on to lunch. I've been try to get a new lunch bag by eating Lean Cuisine, but it's not enough. If I had some money, I think I'd get yogurt or an apple or something.

Unfortunately, thanks to the Spousal Equivalent blowing a tire (again), money is incredibly tight this week. No yogurt for me. In fact, it's Ramen for a few days.

Actually, it might be Ramen for a few weeks. I just realized something. I start the 25th... and don't get paid until mid February. Thankfully I can work my current job after work to make some money on the side.

I have a new breakfast plan, the beginnings of a lunch plan, now I need to work on dinner, and trying to fit in exercise with the two jobs.

I have guilty pleasures and deep thoughts

Well, obviously. Doesn't everyone? I love watching bad television. Reality television (I am picky about it), and teeny-aimed shows (most of them are on ABC Family). I know. It's terrible! I shall hang my head in shame for a moment.

I had Greek in Hulu this morning (Another guilty pleasure). It's shows like that, that make me wonder how my life would have been different if I was in a Sorority (they weren't allowed on campus). According to the hype, being Greek is all about sisterhood/brotherhood. I've had a lot of friends come in and go out of my life. I've been hurt by many of these friends as they left.

Plus, the idea of that wonderful networking isn't half bad either.

Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic for College, when life was simpler.

I don't know. I think I'm just looking for unconditional acceptance, though I don't know why. I have a wonderful set of friends that accept me.

Maybe it's the letters.

They say the neon lights are bright..

I'm a geek. A multifaceted geek.

I am a HUGE Musical Theater Geek. I've seen very few shows on Broadway... or even when the Broadway show tours stop by (who has that kind of money?). But I love it. As a kid, I waited around all year for the Tony Awards, where the best of the best would be broadcast live into my living room.

One of the reasons that I love Glee so much is that it draws its talent from Broadway. These are amazingly talented people that the world should know. I'm hoping that they'll continue this trend. Well, I'm hoping for purely selfish reasons. As the Broadway stars become more recognizable, they might have the Hollywood clout to get more musicals on the screen.

And now, back to Rent.

Sunday, Lazy Sunday

Today was the only day of the week that I can sleep in, and I did. Until 8. I know, I know, 8 isn't exactly early. But when you get up at 5:30... 8 is sleeping in.

Last night the Spousal Equivalent and I went out to be social. We had a wonderful time. It's amazing how a nice dress and ridiculous boots can lift your spirit. I can't get myself moving this morning. I managed to wash dishes and fill out all of the tax forms for the new job. I must admit that I spent a great deal of time on the benefits site, looking at the cool discounts being a College employee gets.

I'm now watching Julie & Julia. Now that's a real blogger. I just write boring things about my life. For example, my plans today: I'm going to gather some laundry, wash it, toss out some of the things I removed from my Best Friend's house (I haven't needed it for over a year, do I really need it now?).

Wow, the exciting life I lead.

I have employment!

I've been looking for a full time job since February 2009, and have been unemployed, or underemployed since June of 2009. But the search is over.

After thousands of resumes, and dozens of interviews I've been offered full time employment.

The celebrating will commence in ten minutes.

Back to work again

It's January, which means it's time for the frivolity of the holiday season is over. It also means the office's move is over. We're in our new room. set in a corner, away from it all. I'm ok with this. People know where we are and we're checked on regularly.

Before the winter break, I interviewed with William and Mary for a position. Now, while I wait to hear about that one, I received a call about interviewing for another position. It gives me hope that I could have a full time position soon.

The healthy eating and exercise portion of my life was put on hold yesterday. I'm not feeling so hot, but I'm sure that last night's dinner of saltines wasn't healthy. (And don't giggle about morning sickness... there's no way that could have happened).

So life continues on, work, cleaning, applying for jobs.
