We went off on a furniture quest. First went to a garage sale and did really well - I got a short bookcase, a small chest of drawers, and a vacuum cleaner. The furniture isn't beautiful, but it's otherwise in really good shape. I'm thinking I may paint the chest of drawers and then do some cute stencils on it.

We also went by a place that had a free washer and dryer that they claimed were in good working condition, but they were outside and looked seriesly grungy. Maybe they were in good working condition when they set them out, but now...I gotta think no.

There are a few more things I'd like to look at - a free entertainment center and some livingroom furniture that is fairly inexpensive, but we'll see. A lot of things will have to wait until I have some income.

Keepin' my fingers crossed about the job interview...it would be nice if things happened that smoothly, but I can't quite imagine it. Not after a year of trying so hard and having so many letdowns...

Sounds like you got a lot accomplished today, chica!

Don't fret over the interview either. Just be confident and smile plenty.

You've already got the needed skills, so it's ~their~ gain to hire ~you~.

You're missing an absolutely dreary day of snow here - little tiny bits of snow that instantly make slush, no beauty in it at all.
