I Now Pronounce You...Um...Hello!?

Well, the job I applied for I found out that they had someone already in mind, aka- not me.  If places already have someone in mind, they shouldn't have to post it and make everyone who applied for it think they stand a chance.  I can't believe how bad the job market is!! INSANITY!! I did, however, apply for a different job since then.  I am really hoping that I get it.

I faxed my application, cover letter, and resume last Tuesday and they called within hours for me to go take a typing test.  Since the job closed the following day, I had to high tail it to a town near where I live to take it so that I could get it faxed in time.  I LOVE to brag since there isn't many opportunities for me to do so, I did pretty well.  It must be all my facebooking and blogging!!  So cross your fingers!!

You know I have to post something funny on all of my posts, so here is my funny story for today.  I went with my mom to the court house this week.  We had business that was in the same office as the marriage licenses area.  It is a tiny waiting room so you could hear a pin drop.  There was us (there to get my mom a passport), and a couple in their 50's applying for a marriage license. 

The clerk was working on the couples paperwork so we just had a seat to wait our turn.  I hear the man ask the woman, "is there anything that you want to tell me that I would want to know before we do this"?  So there I was, trying hard to look like I wasn't listening in...like you could keep from it, and thinking to myself (Oh crap! This could get ugly).  The woman says something to the effect that she was born a man, obviously kidding by the way.

The man proceeds to get up and wait in the hallway because apparently it pissed him off for some odd reason.  When the clerk called them up I guess the lady was under the impression that once they got the marriage license then they were automatically married.  So she totally freaks and has to sit down.  Then they decide to have a discussion in the hallway where the man is throwing all of is paperwork everywhere out of complete rage.  When they came back in, they went up to the clerk, asked for their drivers licenses, and said never mind!!  AWKWARD!!!  I mean, call me crazy but don't you have all your kinks worked out before you get to that point? 

Now I have a gross story!!!  I went to the farmers market a couple of weeks ago.  A good friend of mine has been trying to get me to try this organic hamburger meat (which by the way is excellent) and while there I decided to pick up a few other items to try.  I bought cheese, tomatoes, and pickles.  I love pickles!!  The first thing I did was eat a pickle when I got home.  I liked it so much that I diced up three of them and made some potato salad. 

The following day for lunch I was going to enjoy one of those delicious pickles again.  I opened the jar, got the tastiest looking pickle out, and noticed a pickle that appeared to still have the 'stem' on it hiding in the middle.  Upon further investigation I noticed that the 'stem' was a big huge pickled roach!!!!!  AAAAAHHHH!! Are you serious!!!!  That is a little too organic for me!!  I may never freaking eat pickles again!!!

A Farewell to Pants

Well it is official, I am never going to get the body I used to have back. 

I went to the doctor last week and was excited to know that I was within 15 lbs of my pre-pregnancy weight again...okay, so it was 17 but who's counting!!  I couldn't wait to go get some of my pre-pregnancy jeans and try them on to see if I could get this butt back into them.  I don't know what I was thinking.

So after several moments of huffing and puffing, and sucking in and cutting off circulation, I finally forced the zipper up on them.  When I finally gathered the courage to let out my breath I was greeted in the mirror by a mom who's pants were obviously too tight and had a severe muffin top to boot.  I decided to do my regular routine of doing some squatting to stretch them out a bit.  When I went to do my first squat there was in instant breeze in the back where the damn whole butt ripped out of them!!  I guess I can honestly say that I will never be able to wear my pre-pregnancy jeans again.
