Too many drafts!

Hey friends!

I logged in today and I saw that all three of my last blogs are still sitting as "Drafts." I think that's a pretty good testament to the upheaval I've brought on myself by giving my notice at work while I still don't have a job in Minnesota.

I have gotten responses from two of the places I applied to. One is apparently NOT hiring in the Minneapolis area, and the other was apparently put off that I'm not currently in the Minneapolis area for an interview (I offered a phone interview or even Skype and never heard back from him). I keep hoping that I'll get a voicemail from someone other than these insurance companies who always attack after a resume is reposted on CareerBuilder.com or Monster.com.

To be fair, I can't expect to get a job in the first few weeks of applying. But I'm hoping I get to at least do a phone interview soon! I'm starting to feel a little hopeless and I really don't want to go down that path since it won't help at all. I am willing to branch out from sales/customer service but I'm not sure what else I'm qualified to do, to be honest. And getting a discount on an apartment is  a pretty sweet deal. I just keep praying that everything will line up so I don't have to move in to a storage unit. =/

T and I had a nice day today. We went to get me a haircut (it's really more of a trim with a little more layering) and we both agreed that, as soon as we can afford it, I'll be finding a stylist wherever we're living and paying more for a decent haircut and some good service. The girl I had today stunk like cigarette smoke, didn't say anything nice to me at all, and glared at me when I left a smaller tip since she was so unfriendly and rough with my head and hair. I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she rolled her eyes when she thought I wasn't looking. Friends, I know you get what you pay for and to be fair, I was at Great Clips, but still. I don't deserve that! We made a nice trip to Target and then stopped at Barnes and Noble for some book browsing and hot chocolate. We came home to chili and cornbread muffins and watched a few episodes of Downton Abbey.

Speaking of which, T and I have been watching Downton Abbey since everyone we know has been LOVING it. We started with Series 1 and now we're on Series 3. We just finished Episode 7 and we're both so sad Sybil died!! I don't think any other TV show has made me cry as much as this one. It seems like there's something bad just around the corner no matter what happiness is happening. Please don't spoil anything for us since we're not quite to where everyone else is just yet. Though I do know of one sad thing coming around the corner since I accidentally came across it when reading about an interview with one of the cast members.

Anyway, it's off to bed for me. Hoping tomorrow brings happier things. :)
