Not much is going on in this life... Same 'ol, same 'ol. During the weeks I just job search and don't find a whole lot. I think I am going to go to a temp agency to do temp office work and get some $$ coming in. I have an interview for a Graphic Designer position that has some web design thrown in. At Froedtert Hospital (pronounced freight-ert). I'm just nervous about driving down there and then finding the right office. They want me to be 10-15 minutes early. Well, I will make sure that I am more than that. It's in Milwaukee. Shaun and I went down there to find it on Friday evening before I went to David's Bridal to try on and purchase my bridesmaid dress for Jenny Mickey's wedding. It has an iridescent taffetta strapless top and an a-line skirt in the same fabric in Periwinkle. Cost me about $125. You get a deal on the dresses if the bride buys her dress there, apparently. Sweet. Anyways, I have the dress ordered and it should be here the weekend before Jenny's wedding, even though the girl at David's said it more likely than not will be there before that. I'm just worried that I ordered it in the wrong size. I'm revealing myself here, but I ordered it in a 20. My dress for Jean's wedding is an 18, and I fit in that. Barely, with some help, but I do. So by September will it even fit? They can take in up to 3 inches, but JEEZ! I'm hoping I'll be smaller than that by then. But we'll see. then again I hope not because otherwise what am I going to wear?! Oh, well. I'll worry about it when the time comes. Then Friday night we stopped by Shaun's aunt and uncle's house (Sarah and Steve) and we watched Lemony Snicket's with them. Odd movie. And we ate at Moe's Southwest Grill. It was delicious. I had a fajita minus the tortillas. MMmm, chicken, cheese, lettuce, homemade salsa, sour cream and guacamole. MMMM.
Saturday we didn't do much, but we went to the Mohrs Saturday night. It was Ron and Denise (Mohr), John, Sherry, Alex and Ryan Gallagher, Sarah, Steve, Emma and Travis Mueller, Shaun's parents, Chris Mohr, and Shaun and I. We watched the fireworks and then the kids were getting restless, so we taught them how to play ghosts in the graveyard. I had to play with Emma, which was ok, but she got SUPER bossy and I couldn't leave her alone. The boys were chickens and let us girls go in front of them all of the time, which was somewhat amusing. I got yelled at once for ditching them. I had gone back to get a drink of water. Gee, it sure is interesting getting yelled at by a 5 and 10 year old. Haha. But it was fun and fun was had by all.
Yesterday we went to the lake. Thank goodness because it was freaking hot! The water was 80 degrees, and that was on the north side of the lake with the cold springs! But it was delicious feeling, that warm water. Shaun pushed me in, of course, but that's alright, I had been planning on jumping in anyways. Nate was in Whitewater the whole weekend partying it up so he didn't come with us. But I got a decent tan and a little sunburn, which I am slightly concerned with. I hope it disappears by Saturday! I am also using self-tanner hoping to get the tan lines darker. Yikes. And as of today, I have officially lost 25lbs. A lot more to go. Joy.

Dana! :) Good luck with the Graphic Designer interview! Or the temp office work...whichever is the one you are meant to do right now! I know you will get something soon...maybe I will do a reading on you and let you know! :)
Cool about your weight loss! :) I know you can get there again! Mark said he was looking at my old website (which I had no idea was still up!), so I went to check it out. Brings back some old memories! I saw this picture and thought you would like to be reminded of what is to come! :) Get excited!: http://www.hometown.aol.com/guitargirlsarah/images/dana-pink%20shirt.jpg
Seems like you've been enjoying the company of small children lately. Fun times! I actually mostly don't like playing along with kids because they get too clingy! Haha! But what is weird is that I REALLY want to be a mother. I suppose it's different when they are your own. But yeah, have a great day! :)
The reading sounds like a good thing. I just have to remember not to tell Shaun anything about it because he doesn't believe in that stuff and makes me feel silly when I talk about it. And thanks for the compliments on my weight loss... I had to go to your old site and see that pic, and I can't WAIT to be that size again!!!
And the kids were clingy, and it was slightly annoying, but then again it is a COMPLETELY different ballgame when you're the mother and you love them. It's something that you'll fall into naturally, I'm sure. :)
Dana! Thank you so much for the comment in my blog to Mark! He's an idiot though...you have to read my newest entry (which I will be adding very soon) to find out why.
ALSO! I need an update on your life! What the heck?! I really need to know what you're doing with your time!! :) Have a good day!
