So I went for the interview at the job-I-was-meant-for. And I thought I totally nailed it. He never called me back. I even followed up with a "thank you" call. Unbelievable. He told me that I'd find out as soon as he knew. And it would be by the end of the day. Well now it's the end of day 2 and no call. How unprofessional.

Ian has a lead for a job that I'm going to follow tomorrow. It pays well and sounds like something I could do. We'll see. If so, I'm buying a new car. Seriously.

My list of "things I want" keeps growing as I spend more time in the house. And we have people who are owed money. So all of this is waiting. And we still can't do our taxes. Because people do not follow protocol. I could do a whole blog on people who do not follow the rules. It drives me nuts. Really.

I miss home. And I miss my family. And casey. And the girls at work. I'm really bored during the day when I'm not job-hunting. I've been cleaning the house like a mad-woman. Today I cleaned, did job stuff, grocery shopped, regular shopped, made dinner and put it into the crock pot, and baked a cake*. And I had slept in. And still had time to sit down with the mail and go through coupons and relax til Ian got home.

(*Side note: I was very proud of my cake. It was super-good.)

I've been sending Raven (my sister in law, who's 4) cards with stickers or temporary tattoos (she loves them) inside. It's my attempt at connection to home. =) I've sent two since I've been here. I pretty much want to send one every day. I'm trying to pace myself!!

I went to this cute little store today (and I mean LITTLE). You could barely turn around inside. And I came out with many treasures. It was like a consignment store for home decor. And only spent $30. And I really got a LOT for $30. I was proud.



My new grocery store:


Isn't their logo really scary? Don't fret, their cheese prices are too.





And look at all I can get at Cook Out for 99 cents:




This is our downtown Greensboro:



I have another random fact. We live in what is called the Piedmont Triad. We are a triad of 3 cities, which looks like an upside down triangle. High Point is the third city and is at the bottom (where they belong). The top left of the triangle is Winston-Salem. The top right of the triangle is Greensboro. We are located in Kernersville, in Forsyth County. In the middle of nowhere.
