1 more sleep!
Tomorrow we go to sign the millions of papers to get possession of our new house. It is a very exciting, but also stressful time for us.
I sadly did not get the Camp Counselor job that I was hoping for because I did not know about High School Musical. Yesterday I was so upset I wanted to cry (or worse!) which I know is stupid, but I have tried sooo hard to look for work and I finally thought that I had broken the curse and I really wanted to start working again, but I was once again turned away. How was I rejected based on my lack of knowledge of HSM? Well this camp had a theater component and the guy interviewing me asked me to assume that I was in charge of a group of 6 year old girls and then asked me what play they'd want to do. I said that they may want to make up their own or do a princess play, because that's what all the kids I looked after in France wanted to do. WELL apparently I am out of touch because he was very disappointed that I didn't know that they would obviously want to do HSM. I mean for the love of God I could watch the damned movies, but no I am out of touch.
I am more angry than upset today because I have a bit of perspective and realize how stupid it is. I am OVERQUALIFIED for that job. I used to RUN the day camp at my old barn, so it's not as though I don't know what I'm doing! Arg! Plus I really just needed the boost, but WHATEVER! Grrr.
Okay that was not what I wanted to talk about anyway! So we have our writing hands loosened up (for the millions of signatures tomorrow), we have our paint colors picked out, the car is loaded with all of our tools (we're getting possession on the same day as the transfer, which is rare but good.) We're ready for this very exciting step in our lives. I had the pleasure of spending hours in Home Depot over the last few weeks (I love that place!) and I am fully aware that it will be the same for the rest of my life! We bought a BRAND new washer and dryer and a 1 year old fridge and stove! We're sort of packed and living in a jungle of boxes... yup we're ready.
For us it's nice to make this commitment because it is just one step closer to making that ultimate commitment! In related news people have already started to RSVP to the wedding and enough people have RSVP'd no that we dont' have to worry about not having enough space at the venue! (YAY!)
Okay so I am going to go back to watching the hockey game (GO CANUCKS!!!!) Hopefully next time I'll be able to make a more coherent post! ha ha ha!
Hope you're all doing well, wherever you are! :)

I believe that you CAN have everything, so don't think that just because you bought a house and are getting married and all your dreams are coming true that God/fate/life is holding out on you (that's how I think, anyway). You will get a job, it's just taking a long time for reasons which may not be apparent for quite a while. Thankfully you have a husband to support you - it could be a lot worse!
PS HSM sucks!
