The winners of the Quotation Inspiration Contest were posted today, and I wasn't one of them. *snap*
BUT! The good news is Tim won second place with is clever yarn, Mr. God Gets Creative! It's a funny story with a most inventive bit of quip.
Anyway, I'm really happy for him, but I must admit to being a bit bummed for Max and myself. *sigh*
While I'm whining, I might add I still haven't won the lottery. Wassup wit dat?!
Pfffffft!
Had my Sophie with me all day. We went to the Nautilus for berakfast and then to St. Huberts to look at some shelter dogs. Found this wonderful little papillion (a real fur-ball) named Kara Marie. Black and white wa she, and we decided her name should be OREO. Sophie and I played with her for a time, and we decided to give adopting her some serious thought. Who knows. Maybe that little fluff ball is the luck we seek.
Also, I had my 6 week check-up with Dr. Jeffries today. I've gained 6 lbs, and my BP and cholesterol are both higher. She increased both meds and added that if I lose some weight, those numbers will drop on their own and we can lighten up - maybe even dump the meds! If that ain't incentive, I don't know what is! Especially if one considers not just the health bene's but also the money involved!
I honestly have no feelings about the health bene's, but the money speaks to me! Isn't that weird?
I've heard from Dakota Nanny. Still not too impressed with them. On the other hand, I have also heard from ABC Nanny. WOW - extremely professional! What a difference between one agency and the other! They want me to come in on Saturday for a face to face interviww. We'll see how it goes.
Lastly, I called Claire C., and she said that Kerry from the Upper Saddle River agency, Nanny Care and More, phoned her. I feel it was inappropriate of Kerry to do that when I had specified that I had no interest in the job she sent me on - and further specified I did not want my references pestered with unnecessary calls! However, I've decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she was simply getting all her ducks in a row. Although, CD said, in no uncertain terms, that Kerry phoned her as well and was not impressive at all. In fact, CD, said Kerry was extremely unprofessional and that the reference interview only took about three minutes.
Chrissy wants to come to work with me on Thursday. I phoned Cheryl to ask if it was all right, and she was fine - even enthusiastic about it. That's good. She's so nice... I am so glad I found them. Working for them is such a pleasure!
All for today.
