So I had an "interview" with Kim at Boulevard yesterday. It went well. I think the position is pretty much mine but she has to go through the motions of interviewing everyone interested. She is going to let me know later this week what the next step would be after she talks to Justine.
Also met with the DM at Talbots today. Very intrigued by that interview...would love for something to happen there. Convenient location and better hours. Different opportunity with clothing but using lots of the same skills and knowledge I have refined over the years. I could get to work in 15-20 min, work in the village that I am familiar with, with all the conveniences of Williamsville like restaurants and shopping...I could even sign up for yoga! ugh it would be a dream come true!!!
Went to FANA yesterday. Bought lots of raffle tickets and came home with 3 baskets of lots of goodies. Grill stuff, margarita mix and glasses, wine, even some Vera Bradley stuff that I will give to Kelly for all the BPO tickets she has given us. Also bought a chance for a ruby ring which I did not win, and we outright bought a night at the Belhurst Castle on Seneca Lake. Can't wait for that!
Went to a wake this afternoon for Mark Fischer's grandfather today. Awkward...I hate funerals as it is and Mark is a good friend but not in a warm/fuzzy kind of way. We have him for dinner and go to concerts with him and help him out with stuff around his house when he needs, but we have never met his family or anything. I never even met his girlfriend until today. Weird. Gramps was 93. Mark looked sad/lost. He has been taking care of his grandparents for quite some time now and was really close with them. Gram is all alone now. Very sad.
Then after the wake we went to La Tolteca for dinner. Its too hot to cook! It was delicious! Andy had steak and shrimp and I had green chile enchiladas. Delicious!
We need to get out to the garden and put some mulch/dirt around the plants so they have some room to grow, especially the cantaloupe and watermelon. And we have to trim the excess vines on the tomato plants....so until next time...
Things to remember: hottest day of the year today, hopeful for a new opportunity, feeling tired and hoping its just the heat

Vivid is an understatement
So when they gave me the prescription for the steroids a couple weeks ago the doctor warned me that I may have vivid dreams. Dreams I can remember even though I may not remember dreams normally. Well it hasn't happened, until last night. I don't know if it was because I forgot to take the steroids yesterday so maybe it was like withdrawl. I don't know but when I say freaky I mean flipping freaky.
The colors, the characters, the plot line, the action and suspense, the emotional feeling that I could feel in my sleep. WOW. I woke up with my heart racing and feeling like I was still in the dream and surrounded by the people that were in it. But I knew I was awake. I wanted to go back to sleep but was afraid to, but wanted to continue the dream anyway.
Holy crow that was wild.
It had characters from Wicked in it...gypsies, people I know. There were car chases, running from villians, feeling scared. And the colors...holy crap the colors!
But in the end I defeated the villian. That I remember. I don't know who the real life villian is but apparently I have the strength to defeat the villian. haha!!!

and the times they are a changing...
Well its been a while since my last blog so I thought I would catch up on what has been happening...
Andy got sick last week Friday. He woke up with a sore throat and ended up going to CMAC to see Further anyway that night and then spent the next 3 days pretty much in bed. He missed all my family from CT that came to town. I went to dinner at my cousin's house Sat night without him and then he missed the engagement party on Sun altogether. I worked Monday and went out to dinner with my mom, uncle and cousins and he ate some leftovers but the first meal he actually ate since he got sick was last night. Steak on the grill with cheesy vegetables and crab cakes. All from Walmart. He had gotten a script for prednisone earlier in the day so apparently the steroids gave him an appetite.
Visiting with the family was fun. Didn't get to spend too much time but we all had a great time at the engagement party on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and the food was amazing...done by Marotta's. Clams casino, stuffed hot peppers, stuffed mushrooms, chicken, roast beef, potatoes, and baked ziti. And then dessert deli cake and cookies! Yum!
Then Monday Sinatras...shrimp scampi...ugh it had been so long and it was so good!!! And Andy ate my leftovers. Boo. But he needed some nourishment so its ok.
Found out Tuesday that there is an opening at Boulevard mall...thank goodness! I think its pretty much in the bag but I have to meet with Kim and possibly interview with Justine. Thats fine. It will be nice to drive half the distance to work! And actually work where I am familiar with the territory. Hamburg sucks because I do nothing in the southtowns and know no one that lives out there. So its literally to work and back. Boring, expensive and hopefully almost over.
FANA event is Monday and I am looking forward to that too. Off Monday and Tuesday next week and then the weekend as well. Hopefully Tuesday Andy and I can spend the day at the waterfront. I would like to walk around down there and check things out like the bike paths and such that they are improving. Then after work on Friday we are planning to go out to Pike and stay for the weekend coming home on Sunday for the Allman Brothers concert at Darien lake. That will be fun! I need a little R&R and some time with my hubby!!! And he got me golf clubs so hopefully I will be able to get to use them!
Andy is thinking about applying for a job with Allys friend Bonnie that works with the developmentally disabled. Hopefully that will work out!
Oh, and the clock is ticking. Like almost everyday I think about maybe we should have a baby. Gosh...that would be a change for sure!
and the times, they are a changing...
Things to remember: really good food like 5 days in a row...maybe it was just the steroids. Andy sick. Wipeout. babies...ugh

Independence day
Had a great few days off the last 2 days. Last night was the DMB concert at Darien Lake with Ally, Mark, Angel, Angels bro who is out on leave from the Marines and his girlfriend Alexa, a couple of Ally's friends...good times. Did a pulled pork again and it was a hit as always. We had seats but it was so hot we ended up on the lawn anyway.
Small world. One of Allys friends (Bonnie) works at the group home my cousin lives in. She actually has taken care of Kathy for 10 years now and knows my aunt Cindy, my mom and even told me that she took Kathy to visit my grandmother in the nursing home before she passed away. Small world. She said Kathy is her baby...loves her dearly. Awesome.
ugh...almost forgot the poison ivy...apparently it is growing all over the side of our house and when I was pulling weeds a couple weeks ago I got a hefty dose of it. So much so I had to go to the dermatologist and get some steroids. Ugh...so itchy! all over my arms and a little on my legs and chest. nasty shit.
Crispy, Catherine and Chaeli came over today. Nice to see them. Had a nice dinner and visited with the baby. So weird to see Crispy feeding a baby and changing diapers! I think they had a good time too. So hot though. We brought the AC down from the bedroom and its better but still hot. Poor dogs...panting all day even after going in the pool.
So no fireworks for us. Can't remember the last time we went.
Family is coming to town for the engagement party this weekend. It will be nice to see them...from CT. Andy doesnt really know that side of the family so it will be nice to hang out. Oh and my sister is in Bermuda with Neil...hopefully having a nice time. Cant wait to meet him in September!
Things to remember: poison ivy sucks, hot and sweaty...rude awakening to my nap today. You and me at the concert last night...one of the best concerts I have been to.
