I have a job fair next month. Which means I need an updated resume and cover letter and (arg) a portfolio. My final project for school was making a work sample. So this isn’t too new for me…sorta. I had to ask for recommendation letters. I asked people who had previously said they would write them for me so… it wasn’t terrible. I have sample lessons so i think i just need to work on my philosophy.. fun.

Still sick. Loading up on the sudafed and hopefully getting better. Still tired achey and would rather sleep than do anything.

My cousin had her baby shower last weekend – i missed it because i was here. She is keeping the baby’s name a secret until she is born, I can’t wait. I’m really glad she moved back from the UP so that she is around her sisters and her family for this. It would have been tough so far away. Jaimie is looking for a better job, she tested with sprint yesterday – which may be a good thing.

George and Michelle are in Vegas. V’s husband shipped of to Iraq. and thats really all i’ve got… Nothing exciting lately.

So far it is only sniffles, a sore throat, a bit of grossness being hacked up and achy joints. But sick means no working no working means no money no money means I have to mooch off J some more. Good thing he has a full time job.

I was thinking about everything I need to start looking for a real job. An interview outfit – shoes to go with probably – a portfolio and copies of said portfolio – reference letters and copies of reference letters – copies of license – copies of resume… just tons of little things that all need to be put together before March 6th. There is a job fair then. Then another in April. I’m hoping we can get a laser printer before so that I can print all my portfolio stuff on my own rather than paying for it at kinkos.

and J is going to be studying to renew his certifications which are up in May – busy busy.

I applied to be a tutor and at a couple other places. We’ll see if anything turns up and keep subbing until something does.

Sitting in a hotel room with Cali (the dog), Kris, some band (that included a grubby looking druggie who we called Ryan). For a while Kris and I didnt talk in the room… we talked to the band. But then I went over to talk to her about plotting to get out of the room. It was nice.

Outwith 1.0 and Jeff

We had lots of fun. Went to Brixx, played board/card games. Good times. Good mudslides. mmmm…

I’m lazy and we dont have a ton of food in the house right now. Lost of dinner and breakfast stuff, but not really any lunch stuff. I like making biscuits and muffins and such. I use Jiffy’s making mix… why? Cause it is cheap and like i said, i’m lazy.

A couple weeks ago i tore apart the jiffy box and cut out all the recipes. I taped them into our build-your-own cook book. It keeps me from having too look up the time/heat for the biscuits – I always forget. They also have dumplings -which is basicly boiled biscuits. Ok… i know pierogi are boiled and their are polish dumplings… So I made pierogi.. Well i’m in the process

I have the dough circles, the stuffing, but i’m still debating how to make them. I will boil them to cook them, then likely put them in the fridge. Do i want to bake them later? Saute them? I can’t decide.

Ok ..boiled dough is gross… these will be baked and crispy when done.

1) Stop being passive aggressive.
