WANTED: A job!

Ok, so if you read my earlier posts, you know that I recently quit my job to help my mom open her own jewelry store which has been a dream of hers for awhile! Well the store is open and it is beautiful and full of exciting finds, however, I am finding out that this may not have been the best fit for me!

See, I am a people person - I like having coworkers - even if they suck, I like interacting with people daily and I enjoy the "watercooler" talk, etc. So I am finding that I am getting pretty lonely here, which is fine, because everyone has their different desires for what they want out of their job, and I am just finding that this might not be the best place for me! Praise the Lord that my parents are supportive of this and only want my happiness!

Sooooooo, I am looking for a job! I forgot how much I hated this process. I truly despise this process. While it is exciting to think of all the possibilities that are out there, it is also sickeningly nerve-wrecking how you are required to sit down in front of a person or a group of people and be scrutinized, asked scripted questions - "Give me an example of a time when you could have done better at your job, etc" Everyone knows those types of questions - and I hate them with a passion. I freeze up, forget my last job, or what classes I took in school to prepare me for this job and I tend to think I sound like a dummy - apparently I don't or I would have never had a job, but still! That is how I feel so that's how it is! ;)

So pray for me as I am going through this whole process of finding a job again! I know there is a job out there that the Lord has for me, it's just a matter of me listening to him and finding that job!

On a lighter note, I have lost about 9 pounds in the last 3 weeks! My pants are literally falling off of me and I couldn't be more excited! My goal is for both Mo and I to continue to eat healthier so we have many many years together! On the converse, we are having Thanksgiving dinner for our newlyweds class tomorrow night and I must must practice self-control!! Ahhh! What is that!? Self-control at Thanksgiving dinner?!?!

On a football note, Saturday night my baby was working the LSU vs. LA Tech game so I decided I would fight the crowds and meet up with him and watch the game from the suites! It was a blast! I had a glass of wine and watched the game with Mo, Jeff, and Melissa and chatted! Then the best part was when Lee Greenwood (composer of "Proud to be an American) rocked his American flag jacket during halftime when he sang "Proud to be an American" and the whole stadium stood up and was singing it to the top of their lungs, hello, can you say goosebumps! So awesome, and it took me back to 3rd grade when we sang it at school, haha!

Ok, well that's about it for now! I hope everyone is having an awesome week! And don't forget that next Monday is The Bachelor: The Final Rose! Oh my gosh! I'm voting Deanna will get the rose! Either way, fun will be had as Jen and I are throwing our own little Bachelor party that night and I'm sure there will be screaming and/or tears...we shall see!

Peace out!
