Well... my monday was ok... a pretty relaxed day... took some pictures for the future in-laws craigslist postings, did some grocery shopping, and watched some of my favorite shows with my adorable fiance! :-)
The weekend was also my idea of a perfect Valentine's with my favorite valentine of all time (yes that would be Mr. Puding)... We made an awesome dinner : Breaded/pan-fried chicken in a creamy tomato sauce with diced tomatos, garlic, onions, and spices, and covered in melted mozzerella cheese with a side of angel hair pasta... Then we enjoyed dinner and a movie "I Love You Man" and toasted our third Valentine's day together with our favorite champagne, Ballatore Spumante... I highly recommend it! And then the rest of the evening was spent enjoying fine wine, Amaretto & Coke, and season two of one of our new favorite shows The Big Bang Theory... LOVE IT!!! All together a fabulous evening, and then Sunday was spent with the Best Man and Maid of Honor of our wedding (Love you Rodney & Kristin)
I never thought I would see the day... the one friend that I hang out with most that I had in high school is one who I rarely spent anytime sober with... we generally were around one another during the standard "Casa de DiPace" parties. The funniest part of the whole thing is that when my now fiance met Rodney they both thrived on pissing one another off and wanting to ring eachother's bells (a metaphor for beating the crap out of someone) and for the month and a half that this feud went on I continued telling Chris that he and Rodney were too much alike and would eventually see eye to eye and be the best of friends to which I recieved a scoffed reply of "Yeah right!" And now... he is going to be Chris' best man at our wedding... ha ha ha ha ha, come on you're secretly amused...
Speaking of weddings, the longer it takes me to find a job the more depressed and worried I get... I know that in todays economy its extremely difficult to get a job, but seriously I have been looking for a job for almost a year. One that I will actually make money at! I honestly don't think that it's too much to ask for. I strive to do beyond my best at every job I do whether it be scholastic, professional, or other wise. I am a perfectionist by nature (both a gift and a curse I tell you) and want nothing more than to be given a chance to prove myself as a worthy employee. But I am never given the chance because of my age and lack of experience. I ask you this much, how does one expect you to have experience if nobody is willing to give you the opportunity to get some... Quite a conundrum I must say! It just grinds my gears to know that my age and lack of experience would keep a person such as myself from obtaining any form of a fighting chance at furthering myself, my life, and my future with Chris.
On the brightside, after not getting into the Sheriff's Department as secretary to the sheriff ad under sheriff I was a little bummed. But the head of the county's human resources department told me how impressed she was with my interviews and my professionalism and that if there was ever a position in the county that I was interested in she would do whatever she could to help me out in getting in. That made me feel a little bit better about myself, and slightly more confident in the concept that I may actually find a job in the near future.
Well that is all for me tonight, time to watch my favorite late night show The Ghost Whisperer! :-) I leave you with this quote...
