my monday...

the interview went really well. he hopes to make his decision tomorrow (tuesday!) so, my fingers, toes, arms, legs and eyes will all be crossed until i hear something.

between the interview and a meeting at work, I went to the mall to return a couple of things (really bad habit). when i left, i looked over at the "nicest" hotel in town (used to be an embassy suites, now it's called mgm elegante) and what did i see? oh yeah...that would be Willie Nelson's tour buses. They're pretty :-) I'm sad though. I was SUPPOSED to go to the concert tomorrow night...but we won't get into that...

there's something i've been meaning to tell y'all...but i've been hesitant. ok here goes...last week, i was praying before bed, as i usually do. one of the things i pray for is that God will send "the one" into my life AND that He'll give me some sort of sign, letting me know that guy is the one...

not 2 minutes after i prayed about that (i was still praying) i got a text message from a friend of mine. a guy friend. one that i sorta kinda dated a couple of years ago but the relationship was more benefriends than anything. (hi mom! eek). ok, anyway, said friend and i have remained friends, and i had text messaged him earlier that morning to see how he was. he responded, we ended the conversation. so, imagine my surprise when i got the text message from him while i was praying in the middle of the night. at first i didn't put 2 and 2 together (it was really late). and then i was like "really, god? are you SURE? really!?" I know, so profound and deep. So, i sat on it a while. I told Louski about it and of course she jumped right on it (because Lou is the main person in my life that keeps TRYING to get me to just leave everything to god and i'm like "how 'bout almost everything?") anyway, she of course tells me "you never know till you try" and that i asked for a sign and i got one not a minute later...

so, this morning i sent S. a text message (cause i'm a chicken like that) saying "i don't want this to scare you off, and you won't hurt my feelings if you say no (lie)...have you ever thought about us being an actual couple?"

and i waited. and waited some more. and finally got pissy after almost 12 hours of no response. so i sent another text (insert clucking noises here) "ok, you WILL hurt my feelings if you just fall off the face of the earth. i was just curious (lie) and you really won't hurt my feelings if you say no (lie)."

and i waited. and 10 minutes later i get "huh?" back. he (supposedly) didn't get the message i sent this morning. so, i sent it again, thinking "ok, here we go!" His response? "never really thought about it. i really dig being single right now" translation: "ha NOPE! no relationship for you!"

oh well, i tried. and the more i think about it, the more OK i get with it. but i'm still wondering about that whole "sign" thing. coincidence? really a sign? WHO KNOWS!?!?

3 weeks. that's how long it has been since i've been shopping. ok, correction. that's how long it has been since i have bought anything unnecessary. 3 weeks ago, rachel and i decided to go on a self imposed shopping fast. the rules were simple: we could ONLY by things that were necessary (toilet paper, groceries, pregnancy tests etc). the only gifts we could buy had to be for showers & family birthdays. also, if something was questionable, we HAD to run it by the other. Guess what? we both actually stuck to it. WHOA! no cute shoes. no purses (that's a big one for me). no taking advantage of the bath & body works coupons i had because they were about to expire. I'm really surprised (and proud) we stuck to it. It was definitely tough, but we managed. yet, we're still broke. BUT we spent our money on things that were only necessary. I didn't even buy any shower or birthday gifts! our next adventure is a fast food fast. i'm not sure when we are starting that, but it should be interesting. oh, since yesterday was the end of the shopping fast, i celebrated today by buying a few dishes to decorate my kitchen with, and i only spent $10 on them! i got 4 pieces from this collection at dillards.

There's a giant baby living in my backyard. His name is Zeke. he's 3/4 rotweiler and 1/4 husky (but you'd never know there was husky in there). His previous owner has decided to get rid of him...because he doesn't like the new chiuahuah. well, i can't say that i blame him...i'm not a fan either. anyway, neighbor and i decided there's no way in hell they are taking him to the pound because they most likely just put rotweillers to sleep. He. Is. Precious. I'm so in love with him. If he and Chablis got along, and he didn't weigh 110 pounds, he would SO be mine. If blogger wasn't being a royal pain in my ass I would post pictures of the big ol' baby (along with willie nelson's tour buses and my new dishes). haha you should see him trying to get through the dog door. it's quite hilarious.

that's all i've got for now. don't forget to pray pray pray that i get the job!
