Just Woke Up From a Nap.

Hrm. I think I’m a bit funky right now. I should be studying for that Nvidia interview but I don’t have much energy right now for some reason. But I’ll get to it in a minute I think.

I had lunch today with an old co-worker from Sun. She’s just had a kid at the age of 38. It’s pretty impressive an apparently it was a harrowing experience since there were all these complications. She’s sorta helping me get some more contacts and such since she’s a pretty good networker. Plus she’s really good at all this political stuff and has some good perspectives on job hunting and the job market in general.

Anyways I have to decide what I want to do for a job. A lot of places right now seem to want to work you to death, and I’m not sure how into that I am. I mean if it’s all that I got then maybe it’s what I have to swallow but having a life would be nice too.

I joined the TKGA and I’m taking a corespondence course, “Learning to Knit” Here are my samples that I’m mailing to Ruth Knox for evaluation. From the upper left going across, you have the basket knit, the single rib + increase knit, the single rib + garter knit, the double rib knit, the seed stitch, the stockinette stitch, the garter stitch, and the stockinette stitch with decrease.

Family night at the grocery store – our form of entertainment

So on Tuesdays, I write out a week’s worth of dinners (which I have to say is fun and draining at the same time) and we go shopping as a family on Wed. nights at Adam’s. On Wed. from 6-9 pm, they have “family night” which means 10% off your total bill. Anyways, every week, we spend about $150-$160 (last night was a whopping $173), the figure includes the discount. They usually have lots of free samples too, Vince loves the apple cider. Last night we were all exhausted and Vince was bouncing off the walls. They have a small cart that Vince uses and he loves to push it all around, threatening to run it into patrons and displays.

Hold one’s hand

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Mom has held my needy hands numerous times :). Looking back, appreciated that a lot. By the way, next time, say hello to Jocelyn for me.

I saw the pictures of Vince in our bath tub. Really cute. Some of the attached boxes in the blog, I cannot see, Westinghouse blocks them.

Yesterday, I almost cut off my fingers against my desk while moving my chair. Really hurt. Right now, I exercise regularly trying to lower my blood pressure. In addition to medicine, it works. Other than that, my car runs well. Except a minor inconvenience. When I open the door, the snow at the top, on the windows falls right onto the seat.
