Still no word from my job interview. I called and got a voicemail, so I left a message. It's at least common courtesy to call someone and let them know even if they did not get the job so they don't sit around thinking about it forever and a day. I have better things to think about....like my ever growing list of homework and school decisions.

Bootylicious

You know what's funny? You'd think that weighing yourself and seeing that you've gained 15 pounds in the past few months would get your ass moving to want to lose the weight. I am so uncomfortable in my body right now that I can't even stand to be naked to take a shower. I know that sounds stupid, but it makes me feel uncomfortable. I'm looking into getting a cheap treadmill, so I'm hoping that if I find and buy one, then I will be motivated to diet as well. How did food become so important to me? Why would someone choose eating whatever they want over being comfortable in your own skin? I do not have the answer to this, but I would love to hear from someone who does! Maybe this knowledge will kick start me into a healthier lifestyle. I would love to do Jenny Craig. I hear that the food is awesome, and of course it takes the thinking out of losing weight. It's so expensive, but I think it would get me used to eating healthier foods and also cutting down to the right portion size. If whatever job I get pays decent, then I just may do it for a while to get me started, then switch over to weight watchers to continue. I've done this before. I lost a lot of weight eating healthy and exercising, and then I just quit. I have no idea why, and that bothers me. I'm at the heaviest weight that I have ever been. It is ridiculous how little willpower I have when it comes to food. Chips? Of course eating that is worth being fat for...but it's not. Why can't I get that through my head?

They took our JERBS!

I finished reading "The Pact". It was a very heartbreaking book, but very good also. I definitely recommend reading it sometime. My next book will probably be school books for a while. I am determined to actually learn this semester, so I'm going to try my best to keep up and read the chapters assigned.

This snow is getting so annoying. It just keep piling up and up and up. At least we still have power this time. I can endure any amount of snow as long as I have my electric and water!

I've been offered the job at CAMC, but I would really not rather take it unless I have to. Thankfully, I just got a call today, and I have an interview on Monday morning for Mountain Cap in Sutton. The job is Right from the Start project coordinator, so I would be getting clients, and educating them on their pregnancies and infant care for the first year of life. I would also be able to help those mothers in need that do not have clothes, diapers, cribs, etc. by working with other organizations to get them what they need. It sounds like a great program, and I am excited for the interview. I don't think I'm going to get paid what I would like, but I am willing to take a pay cut to do something that I find interesting and could possibly enjoy doing.

School starts next week. I have tons of stuff going on, so hopefully I won't have any trouble getting back into the groove of things.

10th Sookie Stackhouse!! Due May 2010.

This could be the year.

Just finished reading Sookie Stackhouse for the second time all the way through. I love those books so much. They are very important to me, and I feel like such a part of their lives when I am reading them. I cannot wait until the 10th book comes out in May. I'm expecting it to be a good one since so many questions were left unanswered in the most recent one. They have the first chapter available on Charlaine's website already, but unfortunately you cannot make predictions on this one based on the first chapter. The whole chapter is very vague, but did answer one question of mine from the end of the previous book. Since I have to wait so long for the next installment, I'll tell you about some books that I am reading now and some books that I am planning on reading.

Right now I am ready "The Pact" by Jodi Picoult. She's the author that wrote "My Sister's Keeper" which is a fantastic book. Russell bought this one for me for Christmas. It was a very thoughtful gift since he did research to find a new book that I hadn't read, but he knew I would like and appreciate. The book is about young love...a boy and a girl that grew up in houses next to each other. For some reason or another, they made a suicide pact, and the boy killed the girl so she wouldn't have to do it herself, and then he was supposed to kill himself afterward. I don't mind telling you this since this information is all on the first page. But where this is going to lead, I am not sure. So far it has kept my interest. I have a hard time reading a book if it doesn't catch my interest in the first chapter, so kudos to Mrs. Picoult for a great jumping off point.

Some other books that I'm wanting to read in the near future:

"The Time Traveler's Wife"
"Grave Secret" (another Charlaine Harris series - book 4)....I do recommend her other works!

And I know there are many others, but I am getting tired all of the sudden, so I will have to think of this more next time.

Nighty night!
