Tempting Fate

I don't want to jinx this, but I have two job interviews tomorrow. Crazy weird eh? I also have two other pending that I am awaiting call-backs on. I also already had two phone interviews and a face-to-face last week. Needless to say, the activity on the job front this time has been much, much better that last time where I would go weeks without even a phone call or e-mail. MLM says it's 'cause we are at the first of July and everyone's fiscal year is starting up and they have their new budgets to start playing with. Yea for me!

I'm just glad things are opening up and there are some opportunities coming my way. This is a bit surprising considering the record high jobless rate that was posted last month. I just hope things keep swinging in a positive direction for a change.

My weight loss is still progressing - lost another five. I had to take my suit (yep; singular) to the tailor last week to have it taken in so I wouldn't look like some kind of teepee at my interviews. They had to take four inches from the pants and took the jacket down from a 50 to a 46! I haven't been this size in a long, long time. Like I said earlier, I just hope it's not some wasting desease! :D

Had a quiet 4th of July. Listened to the surrounding fireworks but weren't able to get out to actually see any this year. But that's okay; I've seen fireworks. We watched Fellowship of the Ring but got started too late to watch the whole trilogy. Maybe next year. Ended up spending Sunday and Monday nights watching Azumanga Daioh again -- one of the funniest anime series out there and one of our very favorites. So that was fun. Looking forward now to MLM's birthday the end of the month. I will plan on cooking something special for the meal then (that's usually the principal thing for birthdays here) and maybe I can afford an ice cream cake or something like that by then. We'll see.

Here's wishing me luck tomorrow. Stay tuned...
