ho hum ...

Don't you hate it when people don't exercise common sense? As part of the relocation plan offered by James' new company I am eligible for career assistance for up to one year from his date of employment. Yes, he's been in Dallas since last Thanksgiving and I'm just now utilizing this service. ANYWAY ... I am unemployed. Or, as the lady at the doc's office said, a "homemaker". Whatever. So I get this phone call on my cell phone at 8:45 this morning while I was wandering the aisles of my beloved Kroger and it was the career assistance lady. I appreciate the phone call and thank GOD I didn't answer but can you imagine searching for a good package of chicken breasts that's not all fatty and gross when a career counselor calls? Now here's my thing ... if you're calling someone who is 'unemployed' wouldn't you call their home telephone number? Just a thought ...

We had the most beautiful 'windows-open' day today! I didn't close the windows until after lunch and I'm not sure the a/c ever clicked on today. It rained ALL DAY yesterday so it was a good football day however, since the Colts were absolutely killing the Texans CBS decided to switch to a different game. So rather than watch a game we didn't care about (neither of us are playing fantasy football this year) we finally watched one of our Netflix movies that we've had since July. Madagascar. It was cute but I think the computer animation has made these movies so much easier to produce that they're just not as good as they used to be.

Oh and Amazing Race kicked off last night! I was sad to see Vipul and Arti get booted last night since I had picked them to win it. Their profile online said they could speak several languages -- apparently Chinese isn't one of them. oops! Sunday dinners will be early so I can be done with the dishes by the time the Race starts. Also, I don't want to eat while it's on if they're going to be eating fish eyes every week -- gross!

Not much to say about the Aggie game. I'm glad we're not televised this weekend because that didn't seem to work out well for us. It was really hard to root against the Army. I'd rather they not get their asses kicked! You know ... it's the Army.

By the way ... if your name happens to be Jennifer L Starke and the last four of your ssn# starts with a 2 can you please pay your bills because your friendly collections agencies keep calling my house. During All My Children. You deadbeat!

We forgot Amazing race was starting and missed the first half!! Oh well. So is it going to be on Sundays this year?
We were a little shocked by the game too... at least we pulled it out and won- barely!!! Too much stress for me! :-0
