Back From San Fransisco

I'm Back! I had fun thanks Ruth. but it's still good to be home. it's official I'm starting school in the fall. I got my acceptance letter from the community college (I don't think anyone gets a rejection from community college) so starting in August I'll be back at school. yay I still need to find a job though yuck! hopefully I'll find something good soon.

Mini Vacation

Yesterday I went on a Mini Vacation well sort of I went on a Boat ride on the Mississippi off of Harriet Island.


And then I went to the Wabasha Caves which are rumored to be Haunted I took lots of photos hoping to get a ghost photo, but no success.

This doesn't look like a gave, but it is it was a bootlegger place during prohibition.

a lot of the pictures from inside the caves are blurry and some are not so maybe that's evidence of a ghostly presence ;) who knows.

You know you never know what cool things are around your city until you look there is more to around here than just the movies and the mall and I intend to explore as many as possible.

Picture of some Geese

I snapped this photo the other day of this very rare species of birds called Canadian Geese? Especially in Minnesota I was lucky to get this shot they are so elusive, but hey they're cute look at all the babies! :)

Cancelled

So I get up this morning at about 6:15AM I take a shower and get all ready to go to an unemployment class called Creative Job Search! Well the Creative part is Do it yourself. Be creative and think of a way to do a job search. I left the house to go to the class at about 7:55AM and I got to the place at 8:15AM I was a little Early since the class started at 8:30AM so I waited in my car for a little bit and listened to the radio. I go into the building at 8:20AM and go to the front desk and told them why I was there and the guy gets a look on his face like "Oh" "That Class was cancelled, we tried to call everyone sorry we missed you" I was polite and said oh ok. And he said all the materials are on the website. So great I could have just found the stuff on my own anyway. I was mad that I hadn't got a call since he said they "Tried" to call everyone. I went home and of course there was a message on the answering machine at 7:57AM "this is so and so from unemployment you're signed up for The Creative Job Search Class. That class has been Cancelled for today!" Great they called me a half an hour before the class Geesh! And I met a friend at Perkins last night to discuss a project we are working on and I didn't get home until midnight and didn't get to bed until close to 1:00AM ARGH! I could have slept in. ARGH! The only reason I signed up for the class was because at my Unemployment orientation the guy said it was such a fantastic class with really good information. Of course they only offer it twice a month so the next one is in 2 weeks I won't be going to it I'll just get the info off the net. Argh! Maybe the person that was going to lead the class is superstitious and didn't want to leave her house since today is 6-6-06 yikes! Oh well back to the job hunt from home I guess.

Cute Baby

here's a picture of my Friends cute baby.

Back From Ohio

Happy Birthday Elvis 14 today. He's getting to be an old kitty

Just got back from Ohio Last night I'm so glad to be home it was nice seeing everyone, but it's nice to be home to much driving and running around. I didn't take to many pictures, but I did get one that my Cousin Emily says is a ghost I'm not so sure you decide.



We took like 5 pictures of the fireplace and they all have a wierd shape in the third pane it doesn't look like that to the naked eye, but you know it could be just that the glass is different in that third pane. the reason we took the pictures was because Emily and I were sitting alone in Grandma and Grandpa's house late at night on Saturday and we were talking about how wierd it was being there when no one else was there and that it was so quiet. We were like I'm glad we haven't heard any wierd noises or anything. and at that exact Moment we heard like a sudden tapping or something coming from the corner by the fireplace kinda freaked us out. so I got out my Camera and took a picture of the corner and something looked wierd about the fireplace everything was in focus except the fireplace so Emily took pictures of the fireplace and this is what came out. so I don't know I'm not completely convinced on this one, but could be.
Besides ghosts and car rides we went through the house and took things of senitmental value and packed them into the car. and now I'm home I fell asleep the minute I hit the pillow last night I intended to watch Leno for a few minutes, but the next thing I knew It was 7:00AM and the TV was on and I was still wearing my glasses. so I was tired. well this is all that's new with me back to Job Hunting today. Yippee.

This is what went on when I was at work

These are pictures I took from my bedroom on 2 different days this week. So this is what goes on when I'm at work!

Vicious Dogs

Today Chloe Turned on Lola and they had a horrible fight!!!!! J/K they were just playing they are so funny.

Not much is going on with me right now I'm still job hunting fun fun. I'm glad American Idol is on Tonight we get to see who the 2 finalists are. I thought for sure it would have been Chris atleast in the top 2, but no he got voted off. Now I hope the final two are Taylor and Elliot with Taylor winning the whole thing. I guess we'll see tonight who goes home.

Pretty Tree

Bored and Bored! Soaps are really lame I used to like watching them, but now they're just lame!! The job search continues I've applied to a handful, but nothing looks that exciting I have to look at the sunday paper still maybe there will be something interesting in there.

This photo is one I took outside my grandpa's Retirement center. Pictures always make these blogs more interesting.

Lola

Random Picture for the Day. This is Lola Ain't she cute! :)

Job Seeking Sucks

Well my first full week of Unemployment is almost done and it's gone by fast. Monday I went to the mall (didn't spend any money though) with my friend and her 2 week old baby and then Tuesday I met up with another friend and we went for a walk with my dogs since it was her day off and on Wednesday I met up with a "former" coworker for Lunch. it's amazing you loose your job and suddenly friends come around that's a good thing oh and last friday I went to see a movie with my friend Trisha. so since I've been running around so much I haven't done a ton of job hunting i've updated my resume on a few sites and put in my resume at like 2 places and with 2 temp agencies I haven't heard anything from any of them yet (if it weren't for the money thing I wouldn't be in a rush to get back to work). Next week I'm gonna have to get serious about my job hunt and I'm not looking forward to it. I've looked at jobs every day and am not finding anything that jumps out at me. I guess beggers can't be chooser. so hopefully I can find a halfway decent job before to long here. wish me luck!

Unemployed

Well Today was an interesting day at Work I worked my Ass off to get stuff done for my boss that he kept giving me to do all week. come to find out at 5:00PM that I'm being let go because our Region went under restructuring and I guess I was the easy one to loose or something. God Dammit Frickin Ass Hole! my boss is such an Ass. he knew all week ,but he waits until 5 on Friday to tell me what a jerk!!!! I wouldn't have done all that work for him if I had known. Argh!!! I don't really feel like talking about it to much right now ,but I just wanted to put a little post up about it. so starting Monday the job search is on Big Time. To look on the bright side atleast now I'll be able to catch up on my soaps (she sobs quietly) j/k, but seriously I'm pissed, but yeah anyway that's that and I guess that's life. Man Some Times Life just stinks!!!
