So the Interview went well.  This week is a crazy week at work.   I had to drive to Tampa this morning to go to the Interview.  Then back to work.  Since I arrived later than usual it was a crazy afternoon playing catch up.Tomorrow I have to go to training in Tampa again.  Yah I haven’t been to that location in nearly six months and then all of the sudden I have to be there two days in a row.  I’m picking up another co-worker as she doesn’t know her way and we’re stopping for coffee early on the way.  Should be a nice ride with company.  I have to take her back to the St Pete location and then drive to Westshore after that.  Craziness.  But good craziness. 

Then on Friday, my day off….I have to come into work for two hours for training.  I’m told they will pay me overtime for the those two hours, but who wants to go to work on their day off?  Not me!

So again, the interview went well.  The person I interviewed with is someone that’s worked here far far longer than I have, but she’s aware of my time here.  I was recommended for the job by two of her managers and therefore, that’s a good sign.  The job would be in my current location but be 9 a.m. to 6:15 p.m.  My commute would take a bit longer at those times of the day, however, not too too long.

I will hear something by Friday, or so I’m told.

It’s only Wednesday and I’m ready for a day off.  *sigh*

Everything else is good.  The house is great.  And I’m reminding myself to enjoy the now of it all.

Things we love about the house

1. the stove, it is hightech, Rick loves it..it has so many features it’s like cooking in a limo
2. the jacuzzi tub, it is relaxing and I love it (he loves it too…)
3. having a library…bliss…soo much bliss….
4. having a back yard for Chloe….we love it..she insists on us being present (spoiled dog)
5. ceiling fans, golly these are more wonderful than I ever imagined!!
6. silence in the neighborhood…priceless, every night I sleep like a baby
7. mailbox right outside the front door (you laugh…but try not having it that way for years!)
8. the wood floors, they simply make me smile inside and out
9. the driveway, always a place to park, no circling the lot!!
10. the light fixtures, I smile everytime I turn on a light
11. the refrigerator, she produces ice and water….ahhhh luxury
12. the glass block in the bathrooms, glorious to not need curtains and to have privacy but still see the mailman’s truck pulling up while in the shower
13. multiple closests….ok so I have one for my shirts, jackets, blouses, tops and shoes and one for my skirts, pants and more shoes…so what! It’s blissful too!
14. Having cable hookups in the bedrooms….triple bliss. I can’t wait for football season….as I won’t have to watch any of it.
15. Having the dining room table not covered with a computer and tons of other stuff.  Glorious.
16. Having a bed not full of stuff shoved underneath of it.
17. Having a garage for all your crapola…..this is priceless after being crammed into an apartment.

 There are only a few things I do not like about the house.  They are:
 

1. Having to look for my husband…where the heck is he?
2. Having to water the grass…this falls on Rick..but I feel bad for him.
3. Having to sit outside with Chloe so she goes potty….(spoiled dog!)
4. No place to put Chloes little red chair where she can see outside and sit in the sun too… (oh poor spoiled dog!)
5. The master bathroom is soo close to the bedroom Rick’s afraid of waking me up taking a shower in there in the mornings.
6. The walls are plaster and hard to hang anything on…as in very hard. This is good and bad.  They are lovely but a pain!! grrr…

So let’s see.  We love the house. Yes I am in love with this house.  A co-worker of mine told me that she owned her own home.  Her name was “Gloria”…the house that is.  Then she met a man, he owned a home and his house’s name was “Tabitha”.  They had both named their homes prior to meeting each other.  Year’s later they married and sold their individual homes and bought a collective home.  This home’s name?  Ms. Moneypants 

This conversation made me wonder if I were to name this home what would I name it?  I think our house is a girl too.  Maybe after reading this childhood book, The Little House by Virginia Lee Burton I can’t help but think of this house as being the house from this book.  I think our house’s name is Virginia.  We are virgin home dwellers…..it just all fits.  And I swear my house smiles like this.  I think she loves to live near the beach rather than the city….  I picture her smiling with sunglasses on.
