Oh sheesh... where to begin?!

Alright!  Deep breath... and GO! 

Still no job lined up but my company has graciously offered to let me keep my job through March if I need it (gee thanks, how about just giving it back to me permanently?!)  I have finally started getting some interest flowing and interviews (phone and/or onsite) lined up. 

Started back up with classes for the semester - decided to be ballsy and take 3 classes this semester.  So far I am handling it, but check back with me around Spring Break.  Will definitely need that break.  I have at least 2-3 people in each of my classes that I have had in classes before so that is nice.  And if I have the option (based on class availability and sanity) I could take 3 courses this summer and 3 courses this fall and be DONE!  But likely I will take two in the summer, two in the fall and two next spring and still be done earlier than I predicted.

We finally took down our christmas lights this weekend... I know, I know - redneck. 

I am heading to Austin Thursday to help recruit people from UT for a company that won't let me continue working for them (awkward) but that's ok cause they are paying for my mileage and the whole reason I said I would go anyway is because I am heading to Austin for my Sister in Law's baby shower.  Haha, who won that one :)  So I will get to stay in a nice hotel on the company dime, get some homework done and a good nights sleep and call it good.

Supposed to get hit by this cold thing that is coming - but not nearly like most of you folks up north... brrr, bundle up and just remember, the last time there was a storm like the one they are predicting, I was conceived... SOOOO... if you are cooped up for an extended period of time and are trying to keep your body temperature up - be careful because come October - we might see an influx of Snowmaggedon babies.

FINALLY - We are only 15 days out from the Pitchers and Catchers reporting to spring training.  I can't wait!!!!  I guess I will watch the Super Bowl just cause - cause it means the season is finally OVER!!!  YAY!  And of course the HUGE talks going on in baseball... will the Cards come to an agreement on Pujols extention pre-February 16th or will it have to wait til the off season and the other teams start getting their chances?  Hmmm, we will have to wait and see!

Until next time....

So... I suck at this blogging thing...

It's been over a month since I have last blogged and that shows how distracted I get... speaking of distracted, I think my ADD kicked in cause I just went from doing payroll at work to this... hmmm, little odd!  Anyway, a few things going on right now - that awesome job I was going for... I got the offer, then it got rescinded after I put in my notice at my job and now I am on a monthly basis at my current job (thank god they are working with me) because they won't give me my job back... SOOOOO, I am in the job market in a way I didn't expect. 

On a better note, I had a great time over Christmas with my mom and stepdad driving down and my brother and sister in law coming in from SA.  We had a great Christmas Eve that included putt putt golfing and grilling some ribs and Christmas Day that consisted of a movie, games and fun.  Decided last minute to head back to Illinois with my mom and step dad in the car and had a great week catching up with friends and family that I hadn't seen in months if not years.

Been following the baseball trade madness and free agent pickups... Cliff Lee to the Phillies... well, if the Phillies don't win the whole damn thing this year with their 1, 2, 3, 4 punch... I don't know who will... unless it is the Cardinals <3.  That is more of a hope than anything... although if anyone wants to argue about who the hottest team is in baseball I think we might have an argument.  Dropping one of the biggest hot and cold players (without great looks) for another hot and cold player (that's hot) in Ryan Theriot and picking up Berkman as an outfielder... we are working on that image factor... lol.  But really, I am excited for spring training to start up but before then, looking forward to getting Pujols signed to the Cards for the next 7-10 years for some ungodly amount of money.  Can't wait to get baseball season started... I am tired of football!
