Job Interview

Well I just got back from an interview at YAS Fitness Center in Silverlake. Silverlake is 15 minutes from Hollywood. It was actually about 3 minutes from where I was a nanny. So at least I sort of knew where I was going. Although I did program the GPS to get me there. (And yes Dora, she was recalculating. Although not 5 times in 3 seconds like she did with us!). So I showed up and walked into a quaint little yoga studio. This place actually specializes in yoga for athletes and spinning classes. So it's not the typical yoga place. The interview went really well and I was confident when I left. So we shall see what happens.

Dora (Cameron's mom) came out to visit May 19-25. We had such a wonderful time! It was her first time out to see us, and so we had lots to show her and of course, she and I had a lot of places to shop!
We really did have such a great time. And I know Cameron was so happy that she was able to come out!

Now we're in for a four day weekend! Cameron has Monday off for Memorial Day. I'm hoping we'll be able to get to the beach or at least be lazy by the pool one day! I've got this awesome tan from walking in Runyon Canyon. And I need to work on that! :) Not as bad as Cameron's golf tan though! He has me beat on that one!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! I'll be sure to update about the job if I hear anything!

Also, Many thanks to Jaclyn's blog... Shabby Blogs kept me entertained and made my Blog pretty :)

A new week! Full of exciting things!

Andrew left on Friday to head back to Wilmington, NC after a 4 day visit! We had a blast! He even got to do a little surfing in Malibu! Cameron and I have had a pretty un-eventful weekend besides his iPhone breaking. Just the screen, and he's ordered a repair kit on Amazon to hopefully fix it himself instead of paying $199.00 for the Apple "Geniuses" to fix it. 


Tomorrow I'm going to be cleaning like crazy and doing a mountain of laundry that I've been ignoring. Dora (Cameron's mom) flies in Wednesday afternoon! She'll be staying for a few days. We are very excited that she is coming- she hasn't made it out here yet so it will be exciting for her to see everything out here as well!

G-mail makes my life simple

Now, I've tried this blogging thing before, and to my knowledge, the other one I have still exists but I can't remember how to get to it, and if I did, I wouldn't know the username or password. Thus, a new one.
Which actually works better because it's attached to my G-mail account. So as long as I'm on my computer, there's no need to remember usernames or passwords. So it works better for me this way.

I went back home to Wilmington, NC April 27-May 1. Got to see a lot of my family and a few friends. Keri Dawn even came down from Greenville just to see me!! And that was Fabulous! I was totally in need of some girl time. Don't get me wrong, I love living in LA, and Cameron... but I haven't been lucky enough to find my "go to girl" for LA. I loved being able to spend time with my mom, and going shopping! Although we did go a little over board. But, as I have put on several pounds since August 2009, I immediately went through everything I have here in LA and took two huge bags full to Good Will. (Yay me! Good deed!)
After doing that, I actually had room for what my wonderful Mother got me in Wilmington.

The only bad thing that happened on my trip home was losing my Nanny job. Friday mom and I ran to a coffee shop downtown and the phone rang, it was Stacey the mother that I was working for. It went to voicemail and I called back once I got to the car. Apparently they are going through some financial issues and had to let me go. At the time I was perplexed about the situation. 1- the money was amazing, 2- I had applied to Gap Kids here in LA for the same job I had in NC and was hoping to get that after 4 interviews (Including a phone interview with the district manager!) So by the family letting me go, it made the situation easier if I got the job with Gap. However, Gap decided that they didn't want me as a manager in the same job that I had before, but as a sales associate making less money than before and with no guarantee of the amount of hours I would have. So, Cameron and I decided it would be best to look for something else.

Long story short, it's been two weeks and I still have no leads. But the resume has been dusted off and here's to hoping to find SOMETHING!

Andrew, a friend from church that I grew up with came to Visit on Monday and leaves tomorrow. First time to LA and he's loved it!

I really hope I actually keep up with this, this time. Thanks G-mail!
