The NIGH****CHMAN - Thursday 9/10
Not much going in for me. The Rangers are off, so I will be having all my attention on Big Brother.
If you are new to the board, this link explains what the NIGHT WATCHMAN is (if you are interested). Otherwise, just read on, you will probably figure it out anyway.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!
Sorry I've been absent all week. I've been a little out of sorts and figured it was best to isolate a bit.
I'm really having a tough week. Holiday weeks are slow and it's frustrating for me. I should be happy that the house showed 4x in the last week, but until we have an offer, I'm going to be stressed.
I've applied for 13 jobs so far this week including one with a competitor of my old company that a former colleague is referring me for a position. The Director of Marketing position at Saks @ the Galleria has been reposted, so I'm rewritting my resume to re-apply for it. I really would love that job.
Not much else is going on. We got lots of rain down here today so that was nice. Hopefully my grass will turn green again sometime soon.
I hope you're well and enjoy your something special tomorrow night. Prayers for all who need them.

If I were lying, wouldn't my pants be on fire?!?
Long day today. The girls got tennis practice rained out so came home on the bus. They absolutely HATE the bus - but, for good reason as their driver is a jerk. I swear, if people do not love what they do, why do it?!? I know teenagers can be jerks but for her to be an even bigger one to ALL the kids just isn't right! They don't ride it long so that was one reason I made them ride.
9-11 tomorrow. What a day in history. It's also Paul's birthday. We try not to mention too much about "the" day because let's face it, it was his birthday long before the incident. Poor guy actually has to work late though because he will be gone Monday and Tuesday for his foot surgery so wants to get a few things cleared off his desk.
We had rain again today, but not like the day before. Forecast has another 70% chance for tomorrow as well as Saturday. Hopefully if it is going to rain on Saturday, it will do it AFTER the Walk from Obesity! It will be a MESS if we have to walk in rain. It is rain or shine so keeping my fingers crossed there is no rain. The girls are not happy though as they really didn't want to get up THAT early - the walk starts at 7:30 so we will have to get up around 6:00 or so. YUCK! Who knows, I may just let them sleep in and their entry fee was just a donation to a worthwhile cause! We'll see.
"Mommy" lunch duty is done so now need to go tidy up before hitting the hay early. I have done stuff late into the night the past couple nights, then fell asleep on the chair waking up both times at like 4:30-5:00 am...man, getting BACK up after going back to sleep is a pain!
Hope you have fun tomorrow....
Going to do a quick fly by cause I should be in lala land already. I have one friend that waits until 10 pm to call, gotta break her of that habit, cause she can keep me on the phone for 3 hours at a time... Better day today, I actually got things accomplished at work.
DD auditioned for a part in the first school musical of the year tonight, should know if she has call back tomorrow, or if she made the cast.. Been trying to prepare her for the worst, but since I'm stupid.... we'll just wait to see how it goes.
Hope all of your special plans go as planned!
Prayers for all of the spoken and unspoken requests. Special prayers for all of those that are hurting tonight for what ever reason.
Blessings to all,
Avis
