Erratic and Jumbled Thoughts!


Been in a rut, a slump lately, and can’t seem to get motivated. I am still unemployed and one can only be so optimistic for so long dammit!!! I did a short course, got my certificate and license, fired off my resume, did the leg work in literally pounding the pavement and dropping off copies of all my papers and followed up by cold calling and asking people about openings, gave my numbers to soooo many people. Nothing! Went online, filled out applications for other places, not necessarily in my field and still waiting for that call. Nothing so far and while I’m not giving up, enough is enough!!! Maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something, if so I wish it would speak up or knock me upside the head or something….Just so you know, you see me on the street, don’t come knocking me upside the head and tell me the Universe sent you, it won’t be pretty okay ....:)

Here’s something I found incredibly funny though, while I don’t have a job right now it seems I’ve been pretty busy otherwise just doing stuff. Running from one appointment to another with my son to get his medical check-ups, dental, optometrist and running from filling out apps for camp, to orientation (for the parents), getting my own medical physical done , going to the stores trying to find deals on summer clothes (shorts & tee-shirts etc. Incidentally, why are boy’s clothing so much more expensive than girl’s?) And all these things that needed to be done and would’ve gotten done, but eventually… Life is funny like that sometimes.

Loving Rihanna’s new song “Take a Bow”, it’s really a beautiful song and pretty much self-explanatory. She looks amazing in the video which I think is sleek and beautifully done. Go Rihanna!! Another hit on your hands and very much deserving too. Congrats!!Wish I knew how to ‘embed’ a video, but all this blogging is very new to me and I do have much to learn, and I will, cos I looove good music. Someone teach me please! :)….Seriously!

Summer is practically here and I’m soooo very happy about that. Long sun-filled days and evenings, light, sunny, pretty-coloured clothing, flip-flops and whatever else one fancies. Of course, this also means lots of days at the park with my son along with the hot dogs and burgers and all that junk food jazz….Ice cream truck ( with that everlasting music kids can hear a mile or two away) and my son running to me breathlessly,” mom, do you have money for shots?”….Yeah, looking forward to all that, going to a water or theme park and spending monies to join loooong lines, just so we can get on some ride, but it will be worth it to see his little face lights up and that’s okay with me. Yeah,”summer summer summer tiiimme…” from an old Will Smith song. Oh yeah, my biggest summer treat ever, McDonald’s Iced French Vanilla/Caramel Coffees!!
