Accidental hiatus

Oops! Update time. I have been running around like crazy doing interviews. Those things are exhausting! In between filling out the application (pet peeve, why do we have to submit an actual resume, AND fill out every single detail of work history? Grrrr), interviews, emails, phone calls, and assessments, it is absolutely exhausting. A company contacted me about one position, then decided I was a better fit for another position, so as of Tuesday, I will be working in Austin! Completely overwhelmed, and driving back and forth from North Texas to Austin feels like it will never end since we are moving myself and my son in baby steps.

Job has normal hours (very important with a kiddo), full benefits, an amazing break room and everyone was super nice but also dedicated so I loved that atmosphere. Hopefully it works out. Most of you don't know, but I haven't worked in 3 years due to a tough time finding a job, and then just spending time with family so this will be a huge change for me with moving and starting a regular job.

If anyone has any moving tips, or healthy lunch at work tips, I am all ears!!!!!! Please comment or post it on my FB page.

I'm also excited to find new healthy activities to try. My boyfriend will be able to do them with me, along with the kiddo, but I will also be trying some new things on my own.

Thoughts and things

Bulleting this and I promise regular posting will resume soon! I am out of town on job interviews while my son enjoys quality time with his grandmother.

  • From July 17 until the 22nd I was in Kentucky with my son and boyfriend, visiting my boyfriend's family.
  • Went to Mammoth Cave (Over 800 stairs and 4 miles of cave!)*
  • Abraham Lincoln birthplace
  • Muhammed Ali Museum*
  • Louisville Slugger Museum*
  • Maker's Mark distillery*
  • Had two interviews last week in Austin. I live north of Dallas so instead of putting another 600 miles on my car, I elected to stay an extra week.
  • Testing for another job next week with the county.
  • This season (the last season!) of Dexter is very different but soooo good. I'm very far behind on True Blood however. 
  • I miss the gym! I might have to look for some free passes to local gyms to get my fix. Might as well try them out before I possibly move here! 
  • I do have a giveaway coming up since I hit 200 fans on my Facebook page! I'm going to link it up with a review for Vitacost Aro Black Series I think. Gift card and fun stuff included! 
Hope everyone is doing well! Summer seems to make everything crazier. 


*denotes that these will be covered in an upcoming post!
