I don't really like Obama or McCain, but which ever one will mandate 4 day work weeks... I'm voting for him!
Even though we tend to cook out a lot at Mom and Grandpa's, I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I always enjoy it and have fun. I'm lucky to be related to really funny people.

Hooray for OnDemand (c)
or is it (tm)? Eh, whatever.
One thing I've missed since I've started working full time is my daily dose of Sandra Lee on the Food Network. This woman is crazy and frankly her show belongs on Comedy Central.
I have learned what not to do in the kitchen. Watching her makes me feel like I have some mad knife skillz... that's right, with a z. I have never seen anyone hate food as much as she does!
Connie and I would snark on her daily and I thought it was only us. Then I found the hilarity that is the Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee thread on Television without Pity. These people crack me up! I need to be careful when reading it at work because I just want to LOL out loud (hee).
The new episodes come on Saturdays and theres an episode on Sundays that come on but sometimes I'm out, or forget that it's on then, or whatever. Then one day on TWoP someone mentioned how it was OnDemand. It's under "Home and Life" or something like that. And it's only a few episodes, but still.... yay!
The funny thing is that I turned one on and Daddy started snarking too! hahaha!!!!

I'm glad I'm from the 20th Century
Sunday we were talking about how we couldn't have made it "back in the day" when there was no air conditioning.
Well last night I came home to no electricity (stupid storms), and even though it was dark out, it was HOT. It's even hotter when you're trying to sleep with no covers but end up with a Jay and Cocoa on you.
The sound of the lights coming back on and SCE&G calling woke me up. I complained that they finally turned the lights back on "in the middle of the night", but when I looked at my phone to re-set my clock I realized it was only 12:15. Gah.
Time slows when you have no tv to watch.
We all complain about how time is flying too fast. Maybe we should turn the tv off one night a week. So okay, Monday is House night and Thursday is CSI. Lets see, I think new SVU comes on Tuesdays.... okay Wednesday it is. No wait, that's Top Chef night.

Celebrate Good Times, Come On!
*Big fat exhale*
Well, yesterday Steven was offered a job, and accepted (as if he wouldn't have)!
It's actually at his old job which is pretty funny, but good at the same time. It's good because he already knows just about everyone there so there's not that akward getting to know people phase. Also, he knows the products and the network so there won't be a long training stage either.
More importantly, he should be more enthusiastic about looking for an apartment since he knows what we can truly afford.
Yay!!!

Who is it??
Cocoa has been acting weird the last week, week and a half. Maybe she's in heat.
She had been hanging out with her lion in Mama's closet, but since they've been gone this week she's been under my bed. Well today I noticed she wanted a cozier room.
Don't let Milenko find out she's in his room!

I'm Official!
Yay, I have a staff profile on our website! My page is here.
Not to toot my own horn, but I really like the picture. I just got the dress (and another one in gray) and wore it because I was going to an art show opening.
The art show is part of Spoleto and we participated by collecting the images and picking who was going to be featured. The show is called Vanishing Landscapes and based on environmental issues (hence our involvement). It was fun and something good to go to by yourself when your boyfriend doesn't want to be dragged along, lol.

Happy Earth Day
Well today is Earth Day, I've never really done anything for Earth day that I can remember. Maybe in elementary school we planted trees? When did I plant "Angel Oak"?
Anyways, I figured maybe I'd start to try to recycle more. And by more I mean actually starting. I don't know why we don't... but it's easy enough to put the cans and bottles in a separate bin and put it out every other Monday.
Something else I struggle with is the plastic bag issue. I wouldn't mind bringing my own canvas bags to the store. I understand that plastic bags take up room in the land fill and create a lot of gasses and whatnot to produce. But then what would I put in my little trash cans? I figure that's recycling, right? So I'll continue to get plastic bags as long as they are offered. Until they take over the house like they tend to do.
PS, Steven has a third in-person interview/test/observe what the other customer service analysts do on Friday. Woo hoo!!!

Fingers crossed!
Well tomorrow is Steven's second interview with Blackbaud for the customer support analyst position. It's another phone interview, this time with the hiring manager. I think it'll go well, but I'm sure he'll be nervous.
Think good thoughts around 10:30 am.

I was told what my salary would be at work today. I know it's not proper to talk about money, so lets just say it's a little more than what I thought it would be. It's also a great amount for someone's first job out of college and for a non-profit.
The head of HR also gave me the insurance info and it is over whelming. How do I know which to choose? Also, if Steven's company's insurance (where ever that will be) goes up as much for couples from a single then we may just have separate coverage. Yowza it's a lot!
You shouldn't read insurance info with a headache (well it's difficult to do much with a headache, really). The first place I'll go with my shiny new card? Dr. Wilsons' for some migraine meds!

Finally!
Yes I'm devoting a whole post to my finding a graduation dress.
It has been way harder than it should be. At College of Charleston, for the May graduation girls wear a white summer dress and men where a summer tuxedo, which means they have a white jacket instead of black.
Men have been so lucky. Prom, graduation, wedding... they get to just go out and rent a tux.
Us ladies? We have to buy a friggin dress that we (may) only wear once. Well, for the wedding dress it's once (hopefully). I've actually worn both of my prom dresses on several cruises on formal night.
The good thing about this dress is that it's casual so I can wear it to work, or on a Saturday afternoon, or where ever.
Now Steven and I went all up and down King Street, all around Mt. Pleasant Towne Centre, and Citadel Mall to find this dress. We went into department stores, big name stores (Old Navy & such) and local boutiques... nothing, or something not in my size. Gah! I was about to have to GAIN 20 pounds to fit into my dress!! Then finally... there it is.. my dress! Where did I find it? ........ Target! Go figure.

Alright you twisted my arm
Okay so I joined in the blogging. I enjoy reading Mama's and Connie's and will enjoy Jackie's new blog. I wanted to start one and I'm still not sure what it'll be about.. I guess I could talk about myself but that seems so narcissistic. But enough about me, lets talk about me.
I'm exactly four weeks out from graduating college (technically less than that because my graduation ceremony is at 9:30 am). Most people my age freak out over having to go to work and pay bills and all that, but I'm excited. I'm ready to get out there and be a grown up, worry about making rent instead of making an A.
I guess I should take this time to apologize in advance for my terrible grammer, spelling, and writing technique, if you can call it that. My talents lie elsewhere and I've accepted it.
