The Weekend...Movies and Football

This weekend I took my hubby to go see a movie. Now typically I am a fan of the comedy or romance and this weekend we went to go and see the new Resident Evil movie ( in IMAX 3D). I was actually surprised that it was as good as it was.  Lots of action, a decent story line and lots of blood and gore for the hubby.  I even jumped a few times. I am actually looking forward to seeing if they make another one. 

After the movie, I had to drop the hubby off and head to the local High School because well I am a good auntie and I love my nephews a lot. It was football... now the hubby is really not into football and will typically only go to one game a year for each boy. I on the other hand try my hardest to go to every game.  Well, I was able to make it to the final 2 minutes of the Cubs game and was in time for varsity that was starting right after. Now the Cubs are 9-10 year olds and they try very hard but have not won yet this year. This particular game they were up against the TOP team, I was REALLY happy to see that my nephews team held them to 22 points! 

Next up the Varsity team they are currently 1-1 and the team they are going up against has some of the BIGGEST 12-14 year olds I have ever seen. The kid (if you can call him that) my nephew was going up against was 198lbs (my nephew is 145) and this kid was 6'8" TALL!!!!! my nephew is 5'8"!!! Where the hell did this ginormus kid come from???? What the heck are his parents feeding him?  This was the biggest kid on the team but the rest of the team was not small either, most of them were bigger than our boys. Now my nephew, I am beyond proud of... he dominated this big ginormus kid and kept him back when he needed to. OK so a few times the big kid lifted his arm and my nephew went right under but for the most part it was total domination.  I said it before and I will say it again, I am so proud of him and the job he did... even though they did end up not wining the game. 

Guess that is my queue to go... We have Thunder and Lightning going on right now...

What to do?

I am having a hard time, I am bored, who knew that afternoon TV was so boring? I have been trying to watch movies, go to coffee with friends, get out of the house but not spend any money. The life of the unemployed.

I put out a few resumes over the weekend and guess what? I actually got a call on one that I applied for. It is a phone interview to begin with and maybe if we are a good fit we will be able to meet in person for another interview.

Also, to try and stay busy I am going to post stuff on eBay. We will see how that goes.

Oh yeah! I forgot... we did survive the meal, my son grilled Salmon, garlic bread and made a salad.. It was a great first start.

Well I will post more later if I have anything fun and interesting for ya... or even if I don't

A Week since black Wednesday

It has now been a week since I was laid off. My apartment has not been this clean and organized since my BFF (who is a clean freak) moved away. Now that is not to say that I am a horrible house keeper but I always find other stuff to do, like watch TV, look at the magazines that I ordered from my nephews during a fund raiser for the school... play games on Facebook. You know the important stuff in life.  

Anyway, I have to go though the bathroom cupboards and shred a bunch of stuff we don't need to have any more. Other than that it is all just keeping up with what ever mess the boys leave me with.  

I have gotten a few resumes out to companies that I think I would like to work for. That is one this about Seattle,  we have a lot of great companies in the area to work for, it is just getting in that takes a lot of work. 

Oh did I mention that my son, my baby the only one that I will ever have has decided to make dinner for his dad and I tonight?  If we are not dead I will post how it turned out later.

ummm I guess it is a new, new goal for the month...

While the goal that I posted a few days ago is still a go and totally obtainable, I now have a new goal and this one is probably going to be a bit harder than the other.
As I have posted before our office has gone from 50+ to just 8 in a two year period. We all knew that it was just a matter of time before we are all let go.  So shortly after I wrote the blog on the 1st the 'big boss' from the east coast comes walking in the office....  all of us are like Ohhh Sh!t, here it comes. So ling story short, I am now in with the masses of the unemployed.

So the new goal to add it to get my resume together and start the job hunt. Hip Hip Hoary!!!

I am really thankful that I have a hubby that is very supportive and encouraging.  So I guess I will be blogging about the exploits for looking for a new job.

But I guess this means that I will have time to get my kitchen organized again and workable since I will be doing a lot more cooking and baking this year!

New Month / New Goals

So here we are the beginning of a new month.. What what?!? wasn't it just the start of summer? Oh yeah, that's right I live in Seattle and we did not have much of a summer at all this year. You blink and it is gone.  Anyway, it is a new month, most kids are back in school, and lives are getting back to normal.

I have been 'trying' to get into better shape as most all of us are in some way or another and I for one know that I have a 'few' pounds to loose. So I am going to set a goal right here right now. I need to make sure that the Winter Weight does not pop back on this year as it gets harder and harder every year to get rid of it.  I have read somewhere that it takes 30 days to form a habit... so here it is now in writing. I am going to ride that damn exercise bike every day for at least 15 minutes a day. OK I have now put it out there so it must be done. right?

The Hubby ( I hate him) just thinks about loosing a few pounds and boom there he is down 20 lbs (WTH!) I know logically and well biologically men are not 'supposed' to hold on to the weight like women are, but still it is SO aggravating.  So here I am this is starting of day one, all the other days don't count, just this one day right here.  YAY ME....GO GO GO!!! Yes, I really need to get inspiration and motivation!
