This movie was released 20 years ago? Could it really be that long ago? I remember seeing it when it was released in ...gulp....1987.
I still to this day think it is one of my favorite movies ever. In fact I just sat in my bedroom and exchanged quotes with my sister...does that make me a geek? Well then I guess I am OK with that because it will forever be one of my favorites. It helps me connect with my silly side and the hope that true love does exist. I know it takes work but I know there are true gentlemen out there amongst the Prince Humperdinks of the world.

If I had a job I wouldn't have time to do the research on all these stupid things...
I had 1 interview today and another on Thursday with a different company.
Right now my job is...finding a job...at least that's what Dr. Phil would say.
The thing I like right now is that I can sleep in until 7:00am, take the Squirrel to school and grab a cup of coffee before I start the search. I sure don't miss the phone calls at 5:00am when someone called in sick and the mad rush to get there before the first child arrived.
I do however need a job so I can move out and give my nephew his own room. Not to mention that the money would come in very handy with Christmas approaching.
Oh Wait! We just had our Christmas and Thanksgiving combined up at the lake in a restaurant because Mom and Beau are leaving for the south of the country this Thursday. This Thursday. I am not sure when they return but I am thinking someone might have mentioned April?
I still want a job so I can move out and feel like a grown up!

Kind of ironic that I went to college so that I could have the possibility of a career in a field that did not involve flipping burgers and now this new law tells me I have to know the information anyway. It is official... I have signed the lease on the new apartment today! The "BIG MOVE" is scheduled for next Saturday. The good news is because of the last move and how it happened most of my things are already packed and still in the garage at this point. If you feel the need to help me out drop me an email and we can set things up :o)

While things are looking up for me, a friend of mine has just discovered her husband's adultery. If you think of it say a little prayer for her.

Join me as I cough up a few skeletons from the past and hopefully try not to bury any more in the closet.
