September

Aye! It's September already! Where did the summer go? Haven't blogged in forever b/c I was working so much. Here are some updates:
*Job Front: Got laid off in August, so I'm back to collecting unemployment and applying to jobs like crazy. I hate sitting around doing nothing; I feel like a drain on the economy. I like to work. My job at QRT was the worst job I've ever had, I will never do a call center again. Seriously, I feel like I'm being insulted and slapped in the face when I get those offers. Um, hello I have a college degree, can't you find something on my level? Anyways, I've got a new head hunter/recruiter, so hopefully that will help.
*Family: Family is good. Mark is still out in Florrisant (thank goodness), and still working part time here in Fenton- not much luck on the job front for him either. Dad is out of work too, so sometimes if mom isn't working (as a substitute for the day), the three of us are home with the dog. Day time tv sucks. All of us would so much rather spend the day at work, and being productive. Although dad has done a lot of work on the basement. It looks good. The project goes in spurts. When its done, it will look great.
*Loki: Loki is good, although she did have an ear infection that took 3 weeks to get over with. I always feel like a lousy owner when she gets those. She is calming down, I hardly believe it myself but I've seen her.
*Cardinals: The Birds on the Bat are RED HOT!!! The magic number to clinch the central division title is 8 :) The additions of Julio Lugo, Mark DeRosa, Matt Holliday, and John Smoltz have really boosted the team. Holliday is amazaing!! The moves management has made this year is awesome. In the past, we wouldn't have gotten these amazing players, but this year. WOW! This is the Cardinals year! I serioulsy believe that the Cards will win the World Series this year. I have a theory on it: in 2006 the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Superbowl (yay), that same year the Cardinals won the World Series. Well, this year (2009) the Steelers won the Superbowl again (Six time Champions!!! Whoot!), so I think the Cards will win the World Series.
*Steelers: My favorite football team (current Superbowl Champs- The Pittsburgh Steelers) won their opening game :) It looks to be a promising season. I ordered a Steelers shirt, and it arrived today :) I am soo excited, hopefully the weather will be cool enough for me to wear it on Sunday when they play next. The shirt is a long sleeve shirt that says "Six Time Superbowl Champions" I love it!!
Fall is almost here and I am excited. I am ready for the cooler weather. I can't wait to start wearing long sleeve shirts, hoodies and sweaters and boots again! The mums and asters are blooming; speaking of which I have some to plant t/m. I like the daisy like mums and the different or two toned colored ones.
Por Siempre: Let's Go Cardinals!!!!
and... Let's Go Steelers!!!!
