I assume everyone here wants to know whats going on in my personal life right now. Actually that's not true but I feel like blogging so deal with it!!

So I had a job interview for a job I really really want yesterday. Reasons:
-It's in sales. My training is in sales and it's the field I want to go into.
-It's for Nielson, the company that does TV ratings, so I know its reputable.
-They would give me a phone and a laptop and a GPS. This is good news because my phone is crappy and both of my laptops have died on me.
-They would pay my gas for traveling.
-It's part time.
-The pay would be between $13.00 and $18/hr, plus an extra $.75 an hour because I'm bilingual, and that's a decent paycheck.

So I think the interview went well. They laughed at my jokes and seemed genuinely impressed by my answers. They will make their decision in the next two weeks. They're also hiring 11 people, which increases my chances. I'm excited. It would be great if I got the job.

I am starting to write articles for the site, which I am excited about. I like writing and this motivates me to actually do it. Plus I don't have a whole lot going on here in the way of hobbies, so it keeps me occupied and I enjoy doing it.

I'm going to spend a week on my own next week because my boyfriend has been my only source of support here, so I've kind of been latching on, and that's not good. So this way he gets some personal space and it should help motivate me to get out and do stuff. Like go to the gym more, and go meet some new people. I'm going to try that meetup site and see if there's some people I can meet. I'll also just try to get out and go for walks in the park or go read a book or something.

I'm excited to get a job. We can afford to live comfortably enough where we are with one salary, but there's a few things I need to save up for. One of them is for my son to come for a visit. My mom is afraid of planes so she won't get on one (so am I, but at least I suck it up and do it when I have to) so I'm going to have to fly there, pick him up, fly back, and then repeat the process to bring him back to her. So it'll cost double the airfare.

I also want to save up and buy my boyfriend a drum set, because he's been wanting one for many many years. I don't think at this rate that I could afford it this year, maybe for Valentine's Day next year, I hope. I also need a new laptop and phone.

Anyways, my son is now potty trained. He also likes trains and has gone on two train rides and had fun. I am happy for him. I miss him. I'll be happy when I can get him down for a visit.

And I guess that's everything for now.
