KISS

Pat and I took a two-day trip to Nashville on Wednesday to see KISS in concert. Pat has seen them several times and told me how good they are. I like a good rock concert, and they were really good! It was high energy and fun. They are all Republicans, so it was funny when Paul Stanley said you were at the wrong concert if you wanted to hear about ending global warming and any love for the current president.





"I Wanna Rock and Roll" was really fun, because they released a ton of confetti. You could barely see the stage!

Cool shot of all members on the big screen...

Us before the show!

Happy Halloween!

National Cat Day

Today is National Cat Day, so I am celebrating the cats in my life! It serves to celebrate the unconditional and special love from cats and to help recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued every year.

George and Gracie are amazing companions and put a smile on my face everyday. They have distinct personalities and love attention! Life wouldn't be the same without them!

When I See an Opportunity, I Take It

Every day when I return home, I give George and Gracie several cat treats. I keep them in a glass jar on the counter. Today, I fed them the treats and then dropped the jar. It shattered into a thousand little pieces!

I was aggravated but had to laugh as they started eating every treat they could find. It was a kitty jackpot! George would pull a treat over to him with his paw. I guess that was less conspicuous. Pretty smart!

Softball (Games 2 and 3)

Luckily, the rain held off and we were able to play our rec league softball games two weeks in a row. Last Monday's game was freezing. My hands were like ice! We made a good effort but lost 6-7.

I've been sick since Friday, so last night's game was miserable. Every team has to have a certain number of women and men on a team. I had to play, because we were short on women. I enjoyed myself, but the sneezing-sniffling-coughing-aching-headaching-I need medicine condition I was in, didn't make it easy.

Pat had the game of his rec league career. The rest of us barely had to play. There's a rumor that scouts are coming to see him play next Monday!

We won 14-4!! Go Team Citadel!!

My First Day

I am working again! On Thursday, I accepted the position that I've been interviewing for the past two weeks. I am a Client Support Specialist with a financial planning company. That means I will get to plan events, direct their social media, and take care of clients. I'll learn more about my duties as time goes on.

I worked a half-day today to get started and to fill out paperwork. I'm happy to be working again! This feels like a great job and something I'll enjoy doing. I want to be excited about what I do. I have never had that!

Rec League Softball - Rained Out Again!

Back on September 29, I blogged about our rec league softball game. That has been our only game played so far!

Sept. 14 - RAIN
Sept. 21 - RAIN
Sept. 28 - Won 15-5
Oct. 5 - RAIN
Oct. 12 - RAIN

They keep tacking the missed games to the end of the season. Now, our final game is scheduled for Dec. 14! How miserable! The rain needs to stop!

Second Interview

I had a second interview with the company from last week. This time, I had to complete logic and personality tests. The personality test had 434 questions! My arm almost fell off. Each one was a statement that I had to answer true or false. Some were pretty funny. My favorite was "Sometimes I feel like breaking things." There were also a lot of questions about a citizen's ability to vote. Not sure what that was about...

If they don't find me clinically insane, I should still be eligible. :-D

By Thursday, I'll either get an offer or be told they need more deliberation time.

Interview

I had my first interview with a financial planning company today. As far as I could tell, I think it went good. The interviewer was nice but hard to read. The staff is very small (3 people), but I like that idea. I have worked for a large corporation and know I would prefer working with a smaller company. That gives me a lot of room to grow! I'm staying hopeful, because I think I would be perfect for the job. I am supposed to get a call about a second interview next week. Fingers crossed!

Happy 65th Birthday, Dad!

Love you!!

Opry Goes Pink

On October 2, the Grand Ole Opry turned their trademark red barn pink to join the fight against breast cancer!
