A Slacker Post

I'm a slacker apparently...too tired to write a real post and honestly, I don't have much to write about today. I had class--it was a short day. Jess and I spent Sunday afternoon and night cleaning, organizing the living room and moving furniture and it looks pretty cool. I will take photos, but too tired to deal with with right now. Instead I am posting two pictures of our other cat Zebra in A Snowstorm (Jessica named him...lol)




i took these a few days ago...he worked his way under my comforter and after spending a little time completely under the blanket, he poked his head out and went back to sleep. Aside from waking up a few times to stretch, yawn and switch positions he slept in that spot for a good 5 hours or so. It really was very cute.

I have a blog?

Oh so I do. I know, I still suck at the whole updating thing, however I am seriously going to try to get better at posting daily or at this point even 2/3 times a week to start. You'd think with "all my free time" (being unemployed and all) I'd be better at posting, especially since with all the Public Relations drama going on within the entertainment/celebrity world right now I'd have a ton to post.
I'm not going to get into any of that right now, mainly because it is almost 3 a.m. here and I do need to sleep at some point, but I figured that since I haven't fallen asleep yet, I'd pop a sleeping pill and while waiting for it to kick in I'd update quickly.

Also I'm hoping to add a few things to my blog. I'm not sure exactly what yet, but I've got a few possible ideas that I hope I can get working. Maybe this weekend, I'll spend some time looking into some of the different things I have in mind to see if I can make them work or not.

Anyway so quick update:

Still not working, but I have an appointment with an employment counsellor (a new one) on Wednesday, so I'm hoping that she might have some new ideas about where to look and maybe some contacts that will help me. Plus when I spoke to her on the phone, she seemed pretty enthusiastic about all my different resumes and the whole "finding a job" thing, so hopefully that'll work out.

The cats (not sure if I've mentioned the newest one and I'm too lazy and getting drowsy to check past posts) are still good. Zebra is weird and crazy, but cute as hell which is a good thing considering he chewed two of my power cords in half (a cell phone charger and a DSi charger)...thankfully I had another cell charger from my last cell and I do have another DSi charger somewhere, it's just a matter of finding it. I am hoping to start updating Winslow's Cat blog (although I suppose I'll have to change the name to include Zebra too now. I will definitely start posting new pics too, because I do have quite a few that haven't been posted here or on gather yet.

There's not really anything else going on here right now and I'm starting to get drowsy like I mentioned before so that all the update for now. Tomorrow, or actually today I guess I'll do a proper post.

That is all.

A very long and overdue update

Okay so clearly I suck...lol...It's been so long since I've updated I actually had to go back read the last few posts just to see what I had last written about. Anyway, because I have not slept in something like 30 hours (give or take) this post will be short and somewhat bulleted. But hey, it's better than nothing....right?

Painting/New House Update:
All done paint-wise, and as far as I know the majority of other new house stuff is done too. Went back up before the Open House thingie and finish stuff like new flooring in the attic bathroom and getting food ready and all that fun stuff.

Job Update:
I did finally find a job (although it was a temporary contract position) with the Campus Bookstore. Was (for the most part) fun. Met a few nice people and some who if I never see them again it would be awesomely perfect. Really good friends with one of the girls still, where a lot of the people we worked with thought we've known each other for awhile. Anyway that job was scheduled to end Oct 2, but because the bookstore slowed down so much the managers decided to end some of the contracts early.

So now I am back to looking for a job, but at least there seems to be more job postings and positions available that I'm better qualified for. Compared to last summer there is definitely more out there, so crossing fingers it won't take too long to find another job.

Prince Winslow the Dipstick Update:
When the hell did he get so big? Seriously, it seems like overnight he went from being small and fluffy to being a grown cat who weighs a freaking ton. I shall take a photo or two and try to get them posted soon. Might even do a before/after thing, since I have TONS of photos of him from when he was just a teeny tiny thing.

Miscellaneous:
So yeah, not much going on. Just the job search thing and of course my countdowns. I have tickets to see "This Is It" (the Michael Jackson movie, for those who have no idea). My friend Amanda (my friend from the bookstore) and I are going next Wednesday (totally can't wait!!!) and following that comes the release of New Moon (part of the Twilight Saga) in November. Both Amanda and I are looking forward to getting tickets for that too. Hmmmm maybe I'll have to get some actual countdowns posted on here somewhere...lol.

And now I am going to clean or something. Anything to stay awake until at least 8-9 tonight, so that I have a decent shot of getting a normal night's sleep. Psssssht...I can dream
