What Accountability?

So I’m still jobless.  But of course I’m not giving up hope that something is going to come up before too long.  I just remembered that I have an interview tomorrow morning.  LOL  I’m glad that I’m still getting interviews at least.  It’s better than sending out resume after resume with absolutely NO response.  Especially after hearing from two of my last interviews that they are getting around 700 responses to their job posting.  That means that my resume is at least getting recognized out of 700 others.  Gotta keep it positive ya know?

In addition to an interview that I went to on Friday afternoon, I decided to take a chance and stop in at a scrapbooking store down the street from our place.  I asked if they were hiring, and of course most retail stores will tell you they are taking applications.  I asked if they were just taking applications though, or if they were actually going to be hiring.  Turns out that there are a couple of college gals that are going to be leaving at the end of this month, so there is going to be an opening or two.  I’m hoping that I got my foot in the door before anybody else!  I actually met the owner of the store, and she was super nice.  She did say that she is pretty busy, but mentioned that she would give me a call this week for an interview.  I’ll probably follow up with her tomorrow if I haven’t heard anything.  I mentioned to one of the other ladies that works at the store that I do digital scrapbooking, to which she responded that they have had a bunch of inquiries about digital scrapbooking and if I get hired maybe I could teach a class.  WOW!  Umm… don’t know if I am up to taking on something like that just yet.  Especially since I use an actual website and note digital scrapbooking packs and photoshop programs.

Needless to say, I would love to work at the scrapbooking store, even if just part-time.  It would be an opportunity for me to learn techniques and about actual scrapbooking.  I could take the experience and possible start the business that I mentioned before of scrapbooking for other people.  How awesome would that be?

If I’m not offered a job this week, I am going to be taking a mini-vacation next week.  I’m kind of excited about it.  My friend Dori has to drive up to Portland to be in her friend’s wedding, and her husband can’t go with her.  She asked if I would keep her company on the road trip since it is a 12 hour drive.  Surprisingly, Jacob didn’t object to me going really, so I told her that I could go with her.  I’ve always wanted to go up to Oregon, so this will be fun!  There is one day where we won’t have much of anything to do, and the thought crossed my mind to drive up to Forks and La Push, WA.  LOL  I looked on Mapquest though, and they are a good 5 hours north of Portland still, so I doubt it will happen.  It would have been fun though!

Other than that, not much else is new.  I have accountability group tonight, which I’ve come to just ignore throughout the week now.  LOL  I’ve fallen off the goal wagon and continue to lay in the middle of the road as the wagon rolls over me each week.  *sigh*  Tonight we have the option to change our goals around if we would like.  I think I’m going to drop the sleeping goal, simply because I don’t see the point in getting up at the crack of dawn if I don’t have to.  I think I’ll add a spiritual goal of reading my Bible for fifteen minutes along with journaling for fifteen minutes for four days a week.  I’m going to drop my goal of working out 5 days a week down to 4 days a week.  And keep a goal of drinking at least 64 oz. of water a day at least 5 days a week.

There’s only 5 weeks left of our group, and I would love to finish strong instead of going at the rate that I have been.

Well I better get to gettin’.  I need to clean up some, and get ready for tonight.
