Thrifty Thursday Roll Call

Hi all,

Well, looks like we may be in for a little weather this weekend.  I hope all you on the coast will take head to any warnings.

Today I finish unpacking, I think.  I am finding that I don't have the room here like I had in the other house.  Finding places for everything is a challenge.  I also found my school books so I need to tackle them again and get through this course.

I have a job!  I will be an Installer/Merchandiser for Hallmark.  I will travel all around Durham and service WalMart stores.  I hope I can do this.  My hands aren't what they used to be.  I think the hardest part is going to be keeping track of my time.  Talk about micro management of every second.  Yikes! At least I will finally have some money coming in.

YAY!!!!!! That is so good to hear!! I've also applied for a Merchandiser job with them but the hours never really worked with me being at home with the baby during the week. I can't wait to hear all about it! When do you start??

I have to say this is the first day since Sunday that I feel human again. I just hate being so sick! I'm so glad the meds worked and I'm on the mend. I hope I can get back to my workouts next week. I really want to finish up my challenge.

I'm going home to Texas for a very quick visit. I hope I can drop 2-4 pounds by then. I want to see mid 220's on that scale!!

I'm scheduled to work Saturday afternoon! I'm not sure what type of weather we are getting at that time. I'm not worried about the storm, but I am concerned about driving conditions to and from work.

congratz on the job. I made it through surgery ok and came home today.

Good to hear from you!!

Congrats on the job! Thank heavens you finally got something. The job market is so bad these days. We had a position open that only pays minimum wage but got soooo many applications. And from peope who had had all sorts of responsible and even technical postions before.

What course are you 'getting through"?

I'm at work today just plugging along. Very little energy for the last few days. I even took yesterday off. Had some car trouble but it turned out to be just a corroded gas cap and easily replaceable.

Good news: I went shopping for a couple pairs of pants since mine were falling down and I am now wearing a size 22! Yippeee. I started out as a size 30 so this is the best!

And tbl: glad to know you are feeling marginally human again!

 Congrats!!!!!! :)
