Sporadic internet access at home. I’m divorcing Verizon for good.
My tenants are moving out next month. I want to sell that house.
I spent a 4 day weekend at Myrtle Beach with my family and we had so much fun.
I think my bible thumping aunt is sick of us though.
One of my other aunts – she’s very blunt and very direct – asked my bible thumping aunt if Jesus ever makes her tired. *dead*
We were getting dressed one morning and I noticed my bible thumping aunt was putting on some Apple Bottom jeans. She’s always telling us that we’re doing something ungodly or too worldly, so I asked her if she knew what those jeans represented. She said “yea, the A and the B on MY jeans stand for ALL about the BIBLE!” *snort* If I were a cat, I think I would have died twice.
I blame my family for my lack of blogging and minimal internet activity this week. It has taken me this long to recover from last weekend. I’m getting too old to be hanging out all night for 3 nights in a row.
Before anyone asks, yes, I blew my $500 fun budget…by A LOT. *smh*
The 2nd interview was rescheduled to an earlier date. This ticked me off, but it went well anyway.
They called two of my clients for a reference, good sign, but…
They also called my boss. Can you say ish hit the fan? *sigh*
I really need to leave now.
I hope pray that I get this job. Lord, please let me get this job if it is part of your divine will, please bless me with this job.
BabyGirl’s senior portraits are beautiful. I love ‘em all. Ok, not really, only 22 out of 25 shots.
BabyGirl got her learner’s permit today. In 9 months, she can get her driver’s license.
Why has she been sending me pictures of a bright yellow convertible VW Beetle?
Tomorrow, I’m going to VA’s #1 voted vineyard, so excited! I’m determined to find a red wine that I love!

Er, is it common for them to contact your current boss without asking you if they can do so first? Eeep.
I told them they could contact my current boss, only if it were the last step and only if they were prepared to make a serious offer. We discussed the potential risk because no one likes to lose a valuable employee. However, I didn’t expect my boss to do or say some of the things he did. I thought he was more professional than that – especially because I’ve done nothing but good things for him and this job is a huge promotion for me. But I guess, in the heat of the moment, emotions over rule professionalism. Oh well, I’ve made many mistakes in my career and this is just another lesson learned for me.
OMG I will remember not to drink anything while reading your blog…Apple Bottom = All about the Bible….LOL Guess whatever gets her through….lol
“Shorty had them Apple Bottom Jeans…boots with da FUUUURRRRR” ROFL!!!!!
You just made me giggle with that!!!
I didn’t read the rest of your post b/c i was too busy giggling at Bible Thumping Aunt’s Apple Bottom Jeans – but VA Winery – Prince Michel? I pass by it on my way to my step fam’s house – was wondering if that’s where your going. If it is, please let us know how it is!
I must must must confess this to you before I burst.
I always thought *smh* (shakes my head) meant “Single Ma H __ _____ ???”
I kept trying to think what the H meant. Hell? Single Ma Hell? Single Ma Headbob? Single Ma Hot?
HAHAHAH! Now, every time I see “SMH” I think “single ma… what? oh yeah.. shakes my head”
Now that that’s over with… :)
FB – I confess – I actually had to google “smh” to figure out what it meant……
(yes, despite the pic, i’m blonde!)
What did your boss say? yikes!
Yikes! I’m rooting for you. Hope you get the job. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing about your winery experience.
OK, the bible thumping aunt is a trip, lol. Good luck with the interview.
ROFLMAO!! I have an aunt just like that.
hey lady – just wanted to say hello and wish you luck with the job…
LMAO @ your aunt….sounds like a funfilled weekend was had by all.
Your boss sounds like he had a moment. wow.
If you do find the right wine, please share the info. Thanks in advance.
Your aunt is a trip. LOL @ AB
Your tweets about your Aunt had me rolling!
I’m praying with you about the job – despite what your current boss said, if it’s for you nothing can stop you.
I want to sell my rental property too – I no longer get the tax benefits for the losses I realize.
