Don't waste your time!

I give this movie a D-. Why just short of an F? Because the costuming and setting was amazing. They were obviously going for a more modern day tone, contemporary music to update the subject--but in the meantime forgot to put in a plot, story line, and meaningful dialogue. Anything that was supposed to be an emotional scene meant absolutely nothing due to the lack of character development. I couldn't understand or relate to any of the characters and actually hoped someone would die to make the movie more interesting, but no such luck. This is about equal to Cloverfield, except this movie didn't give me motion sickness.

Dilema of the Week

I know you all have heard me complain complain complain about job hunting and finding a job, etc. Well, I got a call back and an interview last week and they called me back today to offer me a job! I was so excited even though it is a seasonal job! Until I asked if I had to work on Sunday. "Maybe a few, like 4 or 5". So, I look on my calendar to see the percentage of Sundays I would have to work...there's only 7 until Christmas. A few Sundays? Pshh, practically every Sunday. Would you sell your salvation for $9/hour. I personally don't think it's worth it.

Love,
Mrs. Unemployed

Halloween & Couches

So, I did promise pictures of our awesome couches. And today I discovered that they truly are awesome! I found some phantom sticky candy stuff that looked like it was going to be a tough one to clean...it came off so easy with just a damp towel! No residue, no spot that is cleaner than the rest of the couch...nothing. You can see our other green loveseat, we have yet to sell, all lonesome in the corner. It really comes in handy though when we have a lot of people over.

Anyway, on to the more AWESOME part of my post...HALLOWEEN!

We didn't actually get a picture of ourselves in our costumes, but Chelsea did (thanks...I stole this from your blog!). We were Peanut Butter and Jelly. I made the shirts myself...hand painted thank you very much. The little boy is Benson (Chelea's little guy) and he has taken quite a liking to Michael.


After the WSCC party (where the above picture was taken) we finally carved our pumpkins!!! It's practically a tradition to do Nightmare Before Christmas ones for us. Michael did Mr. Oogie Boogie and I did the other two Jack pumpkins, although the one with Jack standing on the swirl was a repeat performance from last year.



Beautiful!

Happy Halloween!

AH! Today we can finally carve our pumpkins! This is my FAVORITE part of Halloween! We were going to do them Monday, but Michael had a test today and wanted the evenings for studying (since he's in class all day). I HAVE BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK! Now you have to wait for pictures. =)

My cute niece and nephews

Remember when we went down to Vegas for Kevin's baby blessing in August and he looked like this...
He's gotten so big! In just 3 months! What a behemoth!

Yes!

I have a stinkin' job interview today! I'm not having too high of hopes in actually getting the job (this is the pessimism in me speaking), but at least it is one call back out of 10 or so odd jobs that I applied for.

I just don't want to hear about being "over-qualified". Yeah, I might leave your crappy job for something more related to my field, but honestly, if I am applying it means I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING ELSE SO THERE'S NOTHING FOR ME TO LEAVE FOR!

k, toodles!
