Must I wear those funny glasses?

I went to the movies with Joseph and the kids last night. We saw Spy Kids 3-D, and I must say I was happy that it was a real "movie for kids". I'm quite old fashioned when it comes to raising kids and don't think it's necessary to throw in adult content in what's suppossed to be a kid's movie, eg: Scooby Doo. And the excuse that "you have to make it likeable or appealing to adults too" doesn't wash.

This movie keeps them entertained, has no real violence, absolutely no sex (except Juni starts to like a girl, I thought that was cute). They should make more movies like this one. If I had a rating system, I'd give it a 4 out of 5, just because those 3D glasses leave me cross-eyed.

To begin with...

Earlier today I spoke to the man who offered me that job last week. I'm trying to get a little more money (which is still far from the salary I had at the Club three years ago). He asked me to call him back tomorrow morning to see what he can work out with his boss; I hope he can will agree to what I asked for, which really isn't a lot of money. The good thing is that I would will be working on commission, so that will supplement my weekly salary.

Honestly, I'm a little nervous about the commission part of the job. I'm going to have to go in there hungry if I want to make money, I just don't know if I have it in me. Then again, they set sales goals for their sales people, so that's a way to be sure I'll have to hussle.

I have my fingers crossed.

Old black & white

And here we are.... we must have been 3 & 8 years old or something like that. Weren't we cute?

Happy Birthday, Chuck!

My brother celebrated his 31st birthday yesterday; and now I'm starting to feel old. How could I have a 31 year old "little brother"? Really, to me he is still my little brother... I could still pick on him (if I wanted to), I still worry about him and want to look out for him. I know that's Cara's job now, but I can't help myself.

Now I'm thinking, my birthday in only 2½ months away.... I'll be 36 *gasp*. I'm not sure I want to celebrate this year. Specially when I think about the one goal I had set for myself during my 35th year, and I didn't accomplish it. My only hope is that my financial situation changes very soon and I can start thinking about it again.

Could I be so lucky?

So I went to work on Saturday and my foot felt ok, apparently there are no broken bones. That's the good news.... now the exciting news is that I was incredibly busy and in the middle of the hazzle and buzzle a man approached me and tried to recruit me, practicly offered me a job at a well known diamond store. Apparently he had been watching me and was very impressed with me....*grin&blush*. I took his business card and rushed to call Joseph and tell him what happened; needless to say I was so excited I couldn't wait for Monday morning to make the call. So I called this morning and got myself an interview for tomorrow. Could it be that my luck is finally changing?

I'm so excited I keep can't stop smiling.
