Mr. Frog

So I had a conversation with a frog the other night that went much like this.

Me: Mr. Frog I like you and all, but see we have an issue here. You're on my door, and if I open it you're going to feel the need to come inside. So, I'm going to bang on the door to try to scare you away before I open it, and it would be in your best interest to move along.

Mr. Frog: I have been hopping around all day, and I have now decided to spend the night on your door. No amount of banging is going to convince me otherwise. You're just going to have to deal with it!

Me: Alright then look. I've got to open this door. We will have no problems as long as you stay outside, but if you so much as put a toe inside this house, I've got a bottle of Raid, and I know how to use it.

Mr. Frog: You're crazy lady! First off you're talking to a frog, and secondly, Raid is for dangerous critters what am I going to do hop you to death!

End of Conversation...

Yeah, I'm that pathetic, but it's ok.

So What's Going On?

The short answer is not a whole lot. So why am I updating? I have no idea. It seems that people keep checking the blog though so I kind of feel guilty that I haven't updated in so very long. Well, that, and I was feeling a little nostalgic this morning as I read over some of my past posts. I miss seminary...a lot. I'm very stuck right now though. I don't think that I'll ever have the opportunity to go back again. So, I'm forging ahead, still looking for a job, still living at home, still just going through the everyday motions of life. The good news is that I do have another interview scheduled for Friday, and the position looks promising. Of course, there have been a few positions like that so I'm not holding my breath just trying to stay hopeful. I know that God has got all this craziness figured out, but as I've mentioned before, patience is not my strong suit especially when it means sitting at home for 9 months. Yep, I have officially been applying for jobs for 9 months. That is craziness! Oh well, it will happen...eventually.

Just Checkin’ In

Nothing exciting, new, or newsworthy has been going on lately. My days have been full of job applications, doctor’s appointments (They aren’t mine. I’m just the transporter), and some school.

There’s nothing new on the job front. The interview that I went to was a big bust mainly because the interviewer asked me point blank what I would do if I was offered a full time job next month. I answered honestly. I would take a full time job over a part time one. He understood, but I pretty much knew that I wasn’t getting the job. I’m really not good at this patience thing. I want a job now, but since I don’t have much of a choice, I’ve been practicing patience a lot lately. I haven’t necessarily practiced it successfully every day, but I guess practice makes perfect or at least better.

School has been interesting, but since I’m doing distance learning this semester, it has just been a bunch of reading. However, things are going to get exciting (not necessarily in a good way) starting next week. I have two weekend conferences that I have to attend in NC for the class that I’m taking. So for the rest of February I’ll be flying back and forth between NC and FL. One weekend here, and one weekend there. I was hoping to not have to do this, but since I haven’t been able to find a job, I really don’t have a choice. If I don’t take at least one class this semester, I won’t be able to keep health insurance, and since I’m uninsurable, that’s a big deal for me.

It's a Dog's Life!

I'm still playing with my new camera. When I took Kita (my dog) outside the other day I started wondering what the world looked like from her perspective. Don't ask me why. I was just in a creative mood.

Grass isn't something that tickles her ankles. It's more like underbrush that must be plowed through...



Fences are huge...



And small weeds look more like flowers...

New Camera!

Mom and Tim gave me some money for my birthday to pick out a new camera with, and FedEx finally brought it this week. It didn't actually take that long to get here. I was just being a little impatient. My family hates it since I'm constantly trying to take pictures, but I love it!
