Case of the Mondays

I'm quite sure I've posted with this title before, but somehow it just never fails to loose its relevancy. Today especially.

This weekend was pretty good, despite the not so fabulous (HOT & HUMID) weather. We got the laundry done ( a monumental task when you realized the machines are in the basement of the building and we have to plan ahead to make sure we have enough quarters...), and the grocery shopping done! I even planned our meals for the week, stuck to my list, and managed to make some more food for Aidan. I've really gotten into making Aidan's food and he seems to love the fresh veggies and fruit, plus...its SO much cheaper.

Additionally, I've realized making it to the gym might not happen for the next 20 yrs so I broke down and bough Jillian Michael's 30 day shred video. I also purchased 5 lb dumbells at 5Below (Thanks Ab!) and after making Mr. F promise he wouldnt laugh at me for doing an at home work out video, popped that sucker in and went for it. Now let me say this, I am not a fitness guru but I've always been pretty active and have even run the Marine Corps Marathon, but I did this video one time on the easiest workout and I'm still sore 2 days later. Hot Damn! I'm now going to look into selling my gym membership cause the $16 for the video and dumbbells is way cheaper than the gym I never make it too...

Last week I also had my job interview and while I looked fab in my new suit (thanks for the coupon to BR, Col!!) I was super nervous. Like, shaky and nauseous nervous, but I feel like I really nailed the interview. However, I am the first one they are interviewing (5 more people this week) and I'm not getting any calls back on the 15 (seriously, not an exaggeration) applications for admin jobs I've submitted. I'm really frustrated and worried. No one wants to hire someone with a masters degree to do admin work, but you know, I'm not afraid to work hard and am very professional. I can make copies like a champ! SOMEONE HIRE ME. ughhh.

Finally, just because I need a pick me up, here are some recent pictures of Aidan...who has started eating cheerios!! What a big boy!

Aidan's new shoes!!!

I'm so glad you posted on the video! I have been soooo curious--and I'm glad 5 Below worked out for you--I knew my random memory would come in handy someday!

Maybe you've motivated me to work on working out...or not:0)

PS I know you'll find THE job...just remember that usually you can't plan...or control the best things...but I'm pretty sure we're both old pros at that lesson!
