Limbo

My life is in a bit of limbo at the moment. I'm not really sure what I'm going to be doing. I recently interviewed for a nanny position. I can tell that she really liked me, I'm not worried about that, I'm more worried that she'll go with someone else because of how much I asked as a weekly payment. But, the day after the interview the mother emailed me and told me how great it was to meet me and told me some more information. I responded to that and asked her to keep me posted. She then emailed me yesterday and explained details about how my vacation would work. So I know I'm on her mind. She ended the email by saying she had a few more interviews but would be back with me soon. I am thinking positively since she continues to initiate contact, but I'm still a liiiittle worried.

Another option presented itself thanks to my friend Brian. He put the word out that I was in need of a job and his friend Will called me and asked if I'd be interested in a receptionist position for his boss who is apparently a very well established insurance agent. I could do that as well. I haven't heard from his boss yet, but I also told Will I wouldn't be back in town until Wednesday, but it's another option, nonetheless.

In other news, I made some AWESOME pineapple chicken the other night, it was so perfect for a hot summer day. I felt really domestic and I'm so not, it was weird. I posted on facebook I was looking for some new chicken recipes and several people commented with some delicious sounding ideas. I love the idea of fruit in any dish. Seth likes fruit a lot too, so that helps.

My dad told me yesterday about a cool program. If you click this link one hundred pushups you compete an initial test to see where you start the training. Supposidly, in six weeks, you will be able to do 100 pushups. That seems like a LOT of pushups to do at one time, but I'm doing it more to strengthen my core and arms. I also joined the two hundred situps program, which should also help get me in shape. I'm a lot happier with the way I look as of late, so now I'm more interested in toning my body and being healthy.

Oh yea! Dad bought a Lightning Pickup! This truck is BEAUTIFUL. I was going to be able to see it, but someone forgot to get it out of the Arbor Place Mall in Douglasville, so I'll have to wait a while before I get to see it.

Yesterday I got to meet Ada, Stephanie and Roberts beautiful new additon. She's gorgeous!! I want kids, but WOW, being there with Ada, Stephanie, and Robert for an hour and a half really made me realize I'm in for a lot of work when it happens. There was a very funny moment. Stephanie has trouble bending down becuase she had to have a C-Section so Robert changed most of the diapers while we were there. In the middle of cleaning up a poo-ey diaper, Ada persisted to poop AND pee on Robert. It was quite funny. I learned something new - newborn poo looks like blackberry jelly! She really was adorable though....looked just like Stephanie!

My awesome mom got me an appointment to try to fix my knee problems stemming from my ACL repair surgery. Her massage therapist is working on bringing back the sensation in my knee. I learned that I am able to go through a lot of pain. I truly think that was the most painful thing I've experienced in a very LONG time. The ironic thing about me is, I will voluntarily go back to him, knowing I'm going to be in a ton of pain, yet I fret for months and days if I know that I'll be receiving a needle. I'm wondering if I should get some help or research ways to get rid of my fear of needles. I don't even like seeing needles on TV. I also need to fix the fact that if there's any possibility that a needle will be present, I need my mommy there with me. I'm 25, almost 26, (wow) that's not good!

That's about all I have for now. More posts to come!
