Here are some fun photos I took this past weekend when Madison and I stopped at a farmer's market for some pumpkins.
Here is a photo of Madison reading in bed on Saturday night. I love that she is 11 and acts 11. I love that she is not boy crazy.
2. Facebook Weirdos
I would say just about every day I am stunned at some of the stuff people post on Facebook. Stunned. Imagine my surprise when this morning as I was checking Facebook I saw this status update from a girl I went to high school with. Who says this kind of stuff? Who posts this kind of stuff on Facebook? Who says they had awesome *1@? Eww.... TMI... Names have been blocked out to protect the trashy.
3. Early Morning Grocery Shopping
I took Madison to Dunking Donuts this morning and then dropped her off at school. Then I headed to the grocery store at 8 AM. Nobody is there at 8 AM, everything is stocked, and there is no line at the deli counter. I like to grocery shop at 8 AM on a weekday morning. I spent too much money... like usual.... but we have groceries for the week and snacks for lunchboxes and I have a meal plan which consists of steak and cheese subs - made with real steak...not that Steakum mess...and mine are better than any one you will get at a sub shop, chicken souvlaki, rigatoni with meat sauce, and chicken tacos for the next 4 days.
4. Credit Card Fraud Stinks
I went to the post office this morning to mail two boxes - one to my niece and nephew (filled with all sorts of Halloween goodies - books, stickers, candy, etc...) in Las Vegas... which by the way shipping a measly 2 lb box to Vegas is $$$ and another box to Kara @ Happy Go Lucky and my debit card was denied. So of course my mind starts racing... and I know that there is money in the account (this is my side account... the one I use for etsy and random purchases of diet cokes at McDonalds or Starbucks so that my husband doesn't think I'm wasting money). So I use our other debit card and head home. I check online and there are two purchases I did not make. One to a hotel and one to Wal-Mart. Both in Texas... which I have never been too, nor do I know anyone there. So I call and they take care of it all for me, but until my new card comes there is a hold on my account... which means no secret etsy purchases, diet cokes, or Starbucks for 5-7 days.
5. Job Interview Jitters
I have had two real adult jobs. Both of them were teaching jobs, one in 2002 and one in 2003. My interviews were easy and painless and I got both jobs. I have an interview tomorrow at 11 AM. YIKES! I was pretty sure it was going to be a phone interview... great... easier... no big deal. Nope... its via Skype. YIKES! That means I need to be showered and dressed in something work appropriate (at least from the waist up) and ready to go at 11 AM tomorrow. Wish me luck... I need and want this job.
