I Am Back And Blogging Again

Things I am thankful for:
1. Logan, my dog
2. My health
3. My home
4. My part time job 


My computer has been down for quite some time but now it is back and things are humming again. I just got a job at RadioShack (part time) and so far so good. I started two weeks ago and retail being what it is, my schedule is all over the place. Today I work from 6pm-9pm.

Big Day Ahead

Things I am thankful for:
1. renewing my friendship with Lou Butler
2. that Armando and I are still good friends
3. that I've started getting call backs on job apps
4. Brian is back in town



There's a big day ahead...I'm running out to Office Depot, I've got to drop off a memo at a law office, then having lunch with Lou Butler at Legal Sea Food at Boca Towne Centre Mall. I used to work with Lou when I was at the Sun-Sentinel and she is someone I've always looked up to and admired. 


Then at 5pm I'm meeting Armando and his friend Milowi at a movie screening off Sistrunk in da 'hood. LOL I'm really looking forward to it.


Also, Brian is back from NYC where he was working the fashion collection of Vivienne Tam. He flew back yesterday and I'm hoping to see him tomorrow. I promised him a movie and dinner at this great Greek restaurant we went to once upon a time.


I got an email over the weekend from Radio Shack saying that they want to interview me and this morning Workforce One called me and said they were forwarding my resume to Goodwill Industries for a program director position. 


Hopefully something will pan out soon.

A Good Sunday

Things I'm thankful for:
1. Logan, the coolest dog in the universe
2. Blain and Gioia, two of the coolest friends

I didn't do much today, I just played with Logan, watched him nap, played with him again, watched him nap some more while I watched Ben Hur, played with Logan before bed.

All in all, the perfect Sunday.

Low Key Saturday

Things I am thankful for:
1. Logan
2. Eric, my friend and handyman
3. my home

Today I finished getting all the stuff moved around in my bedroom with the furniture I bought from Gioia's ex. It looks good and gives me sooo much more storage space.
I'm really digging it.

I must be the most boring person on earth right now. No plans tonight. Just staying in...me and the dog. But you know, I wouldn't have it any other way. =)

I got a flu shot yesterday. It has me feeling kind of crappy today. I'm going back to bed and see if this thing wears off by this afternoon.

So far this season I've watched "Fringe" premiere (loved it), Eastwick (liked it), and anticipating FlashForward's premiere tonight.

My room mate hurt my feelings yesterday with some thoughtless things he said.

I just let it slide. He's not feeling well and dealing with cancer so I'm letting it go but 

that doesn't make it sting less.

I'm going to go to my meeting now, then meet up with Gioia maybe...when I get back I've got to clean my room move the clothes from the old dresser to another.

Not much going on today...getting some new furniture (sort of new, I'm buying it from a friend) and working on the new fish tank...that's about it. Hot stuff, eh?

"Monday" - just another way to say "new opportunity".

Well, another week begins...on today's agenda I am taking lunch to my friend Gioia who is sick, I've got to run to the pet store and pick out an algae eater (the living room tank on the mantle had a sudden eruption of algae), I'm washing the rocks that are going in the living room tank that will sit on the storage unit and cleaning my room, in addition to looking for work like every day.
