minor update

So ummm... let's see. The recruiter for baton rouge eventually stopped calling and stopped returning calls. We're assuming this means that either Whitey didn't get the job or the company couldn't give a decent enough offer that the recruiter wanted to tell us about it. I swear to god that is so fucking tacky when a recruiter just leaves you hanging. I mean, I know that some people can be assholes when you tell them they didn't get a job, but the ones who aren't assholes don't deserve to wait a week and a half for you to call back only to have you avoid them. We need to know if we have to rearrange our lives or not. I put so much shit on hold because we might be moving to baton rouge and now I have to rush to get it all done.
Speaking of, I have been working on CEU's for my social work license and have managed to knock out 14 hours worth in about 5 hours time with a lovely online CEU site. I'm sure you wanted to know that.
Whitey got offered a job in Birmingham and is going to take it. We should be down there in a couple of weeks. Actually, if any of you know of good places that do short term rentals, let us know. We want to be sure he gets hired permanently (it's a contract to hire position) before we buy a house.
In the middle of all this, I decided that I wanted to put together a dance for a talent competition that is taking place on march 3rd. I decided this last weekend. Yep.
In other news: I used my $50 that my mother gave us as a valentine present to go impulse buy things like orange chili coated cashews and kashi chocolate chip cookies and parmesian potato chips and bake doritos and gourmet soda.
yes, I said $50.... actually I had to kick in $10 of my own too.
Yeah.
Speaking of valentines: mine was rockin'. Whitey and I went to Tai Pan on tuesday to celebrate Valentine's (going out on actual Valentines is insane). Wednesday I went to work early and helped with the valentines party which meant free pizza and goodies. I knew my mom had put vegetables and stuff on the list, but I figured people would bring 109283091283091238 cookies and cupcakes and a tablespoon or two of vegetables and fruit. There were quite a few cupcakes and cookies, but there were waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more fruit and vegetables than cookies. I had like a cup and a half of carrots and some other mixed raw vegetables and a cup or so of fruit salad by myself and that barely made a dent in either. I was ecstatic. That night for dinner, whitey's mom made an exceedingly yummy pot roast. I ate too much and caused my stomach to be upset.
For valentines I gave whitey some cookies and some gourmet lemonade and he bought me dinner, ice cream twice, gave me a lovely card and got me some sugar free peppermint patties. yum!

Anyways... um... yeah that's my life.
