Do Nothing Day

"Hey Baby, how was your day?" my husband asked as he walked in the door smiling.  "Great, how about yours?"  I asked giving him a peck on his cheek and he was still smiling.  He had a meeting at work that went well, which he feels really good about.  "Nothing wrong with that in my opinion" I said.

Today it was suppose to rain and didn't, not yet anyway.  Supposedly, we're under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch until 11pm.  There was a Tornado Watch earlier, I think they took it down.  I told John about the Tornado Watch when he came home.  He thought it might be a good idea just in case to tuck the patio chairs under the patio table, better safe than sorry.

Before the previously forecasted rain expected today, I had planned to go to the grocery store.  I postponed that trip until tomorrow when no rain is expected.  Just my luck everything will be pushed back.  I'll end up loading and unloading groceries from my car in the rain tomorrow, ugh.

I did hear on the news this morning Elizabeth Taylor passed away in the middle of the night from congestive heart failure.  She was one of Virginia's first ladies, married to former Senator John Warner from 1976 to 1982.  Unfortunately, she was not very happy being a Senator's wife.  She stated later she did not agree with some of the issues and had to keep quiet because of her marriage and not cause problems for Senator Warner.  She was also the catalyst in AIDS information and fund raising.  Rest in Peace Elizabeth Taylor, you gave so much to so many.


To my credit and patting myself on the back, I spent all morning and into the afternoon on the computer applying to jobs.  Oh, the interview at the Sheraton last week, I received "thank you for your interest, we selected another candidate" email on Monday from them.  I have another interview scheduled next Tuesday with a Government Contractor whose office is about seven miles from my house.  That sure would be a sweet commute.  Once again, I don't dare get my hopes up, the fall is still painful.

The remainder of the afternoon was some TV watching and preparing spaghetti for dinner.  I hesitated again whether to post or not.  It was a pretty boring day, thank you for joining me, I appreciate the company.

Just as I am about to post this, it has started raining, and I hear thunder in the distance.  Happy Hump (Wednes)Day!

Hi!
I caught up on your blog posts last night, then didn't have time to comment. I really like following along with your life. I'd love to sit in your family room and watch something with you on that fantastic TV. Wow! What a great way to be entertained! I have a 32" flat screen that's still a treat for me. I'm always impressed when I watch TV at my parent's with their 50-something inch TV. One day I'll get a bigger one...

Good luck on your job search. I hope you get one close to home. My job is under 20 minutes from home and I listen to audio books to and from.

I wish I could say my mulching was done. I have to do everything myself and it's such a big job! I have to wait for my pear tree to bloom and then for it to lose it's petals before I can mulch.

Hope you have a great Thursday. Pretty gloomy out there, huh?

Good luck with the job hunting. 7 miles to home would be great.
