Thanksgiving with Friends

So tonight our intimate group of 10+ will be getting together for a psuedo-Thanksgiving dinner. Stevie poo bear is going to be there so I'm really excited. He's been in Florida and Thailand for a while and it looks as though he might be moving back to the city.

So I still don't have a new job...still pretty miserable (but making the best of it and staying positive)...working with a few different head hunters and really just trying to stay positive about finding a new job. I'm so passionate about work and I'm such a perfectionist that it's hard for me to understand why the people I've interviewed haven't hired me. I've been the runner-up twice now and I just don't understand. I don't know how else to convey to potential employers that they really would be gaining an asset with me...I'm so driven and dedicated...I guess its just hard in the market especially right now...and yeah, if it's meant to be; it will be.

Derek and I worked our asses off getting the house in tip top shape for our housewarming we had recently. We installed new sod in the back yard and it looks just beautiful. I actually don't even mind the rock patio because the grass distracts from it. Our housewarming was great...like I said...perfectionist. It was mostly wonderful to hear my mother-in-law say something nice...well for her it was nice...I walked into the kitchen to hear "Your housewarming party is actually nice!" Why thank you mother-in-law, thank you. I'm so glad to hear that it was actually nice! Haha. Whatever. I thought it went well and everyone raved so that's all that really matters :)

Let's see...what else has happened...oh yeah! My parents are actually getting a divorce. My step-dad cheated on my mom. MY MOM! I'm not sure I'll ever understand it. seriously. and now, of course, my two little brothers are already beginning to be neglected. Shocker. what an asshole that he can't even spend a few moments with them. Really? Really? again, whatever. All I know is that I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that my mom moves back out here to Cali near me so we can be a close-knit family again. It's about time. And I think my brothers would benefit from having Derek and Travis to do stuff with too. Besides, Evan really wants to go to Culinary school and now he can choose from the best! When a door closes, a window opens...? I guess all that matters is that I know that they'll move back here.

So current goals? Staying positive and staying on track with my weight. I've lost the weight and I've been doing good, but the last couple of days there was a bit of a slip up...now back on track and looking skinnier than ever :) Hollllleeeerrrr!
