It's a tad depressing...

Applying for jobs is never fun, applying for a job you love, even though you know the pay will suck, is a bit saddening as well.

Applying for jobs in which you never get called back due to lack of experience is the worst part of the entire thing.

I finally went to interviews for daycare part time jobs. I really want to work with kids. I love them so much. I still don't believe I want one of my own, however, having a job i would love to go to everyday would be a dream. I believe that I shall continue to try. This not having a job is effecting me more than I thought it would. I want a life again. One that doesn't involve me bumming off of people.

I have a kid of my own now, he may not be biological but he is mine, and now not having a job, i still have a purpose and a reason for doing the most awesome things ever. Being a mom has it's perks, even with his temper tantrums and child development classes, I'm learning everyday.

Let's go for a walk.

To get my life off my mind, I have been taking several walks, looking for jobs, just going out, thinking, trying to get back in shape, attending music festivals, it's great knowing that just being outdoors for 10 minutes cheers me up immensely. I average about a mile walk a day now, but occasionally it will go up to 5 or 6 miles walking. The weather is great for it at the moment and I don't feel near as run down as I used to. I'm more alive, more awake, more appreciative of nature and my wonderful surroundings. Putting one foot in front of another is generally a metaphor for moving on with your life. I'm doing that, figuratively and literally with my life right now and it's causing me wonderful senses of relief. If I can gather my dream job, even though it pays crap, I will be 10 times more. I will be in heaven :)

Walking is still a wonderful pastime and me and Dresdyn still walk at least a mile everyday. It's not much and it takes us over 2 hours since he can't quite walk yet but we manage and i always feel better afterwards

it's time to clean :)

meh, cleaning out the inbox daily seems to be something that I cannot get the handle of. I wonder if one day I ever will. I did however finally have the inbox at zero. I find it easier to check when I'm looking for a job. Now that I'm not looking for a job, it's much easier to watch my baby

Groovy...

I have never seen so many congregated hippies in my life, There were Hackie Sacks, Kites, Hula Hoops, Sidewalk Chalk, Live Music, and Jugglers. Also lots and lots of tye dye . The thing I liked most about Groovefest was it was a humans right festival. The vendors were all very nice, and I walked away with two buttons. ..which are awesome. I'll post pictures once i figure out how to send them from my cellphone.

The very first band was by far the best band I heard today. They were called "THE WORK WEEK". Awesome tune, and even with all there mess ups they rocked the show. I ended up with several flyers and cards and a surprisingly disappointing indian taco, oh well, can't win them all.

Well...I went to my 2nd Groovefest, this time bringing a handful of other friends along. We made a picnic, had cake, threw around a frisbee, and played a random board game. There music was not as much to my taste this year as was last times but it was a great day in the park with wonderful friends

I'm bleeding!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally got brave enough. Well, I finally got talked into getting brave enough and went to the American Blood Institute and donated blood.

Being terrified of needles, I did sort of freak out a bit as I was sitting in the recliner and they couldn't stick Sara. But after the needle was stuck in me, as long as I didn't look at the blood being taken from my body I was good.

Usually you get a Tshirt, but I decided to donate to the lymphoma charity instead. Two good deeds today down :)

Mulberries EVERYWHERE...

So, at my house. I have learned that I am in possession of three Mulberry Trees. Seeing as how there are so many. I have decided to try several recipes for them. After I have accomplished one I then shall let you know how it went.

For now, seeing as how none are ripe yet. I'm going to list the recipes that I'd like to try( most of which can be found at http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/m/mulcom62.html :

Mulberry Wine On each gallon of ripe Mulberries, pour 1 gallon of boiling water and let them stand for 2 days. Then squeeze all through a hair sieve or bag. Wash out the tub or jar and return the liquor to it, put in the sugar at the rate of 3 lb. to each gallon of the liquor; stir up until quite dissolved, then put the liquor into a cask. Let the cask be raised a little on one side until fermentation ceases, then bung down. If the liquor be clear, it may be bottled in 4 months' time. Into each bottle put 1 clove and a small lump of sugar and the bottles should be kept in a moderate temperature. The wine may be used in a year from time of bottling. Mulberry Jam Unless very ripe Mulberries are used, the jam will have an acid taste. Put 1 lb. of Mulberries in a jar and stand it in a pan of water on the fire till the juice is extracted. Strain them and put the juice into a preserving pan with 3 lb. of sugar. Boil it and remove the scum and put in 3 lb. of very ripe Mulberries and let them stand in the syrup until thoroughly warm, then set the pan back on the fire and boil them very gently for a short time, stirring all the time and taking care not to break the fruit. Then take the pan off and let them stand in the syrup all night. Put the pan on the fire again in the morning and boil again gently till stiff. ..ok so far haven't found many, I'm working on it

Ick Taxes

...So, doing your own taxes is not near as hard as people want you to think it is. Especially thanks to turbo tax. Many people like to think that it's a big deal. I thought it would be a big deal. It's not
