Dawn's Digression.

Well, finally the day has arrived. LLCoolMuffin's birthday. It is a big deal at our house. I had to bake her a chocolate sheet cake 'like her grandmother's'. Riiiiight. I did, indeed make a chocolate sheet cake. She says it's good, but I find that debateable.(need spellcheck). But tomorrow I get to have fun giving her her presents. I love that kind of thing. She gets all mortified because I spent too much money, but I do it because I want to, not because she asks for it. And I also do it because I do feel a little guilty that the ex could do so much more for her than I can. But it's like I always remind her. Her ex (Called Picco from this point forward) may have made more money, but she wasn't as warm and fuzzy as I am. LLCM says my cheapness is refreshing when it isn't annoying. We have the weirdest conversations about things. For example, I've noticed I spend a lot more on groceries since I moved in here because we eat differently. To me Chicken Helper is a perfectly acceptable meal. Chicken helper and frozen green beans -- I'm set. Yeah...her, notsomuch. We eat lots of steak and fancy foods. I'm trying to think how to describe what I mean. I guess one example is watermelon. I bought a watermelon for .98 and I thought I had basically stolen the thing. I was quite proud. I get it home and she says, "Oh. It has seeds." See now, I'm just happy I've got fresh fruit. Apparently I needed to go $2 further for her to be excited about it. Here is the difference between her with her college degree and paralegal certificate and me with. uh. Almost an associates degree.
I'm not complaining. I'm just saying.
I was supposed to have an interview on Monday, but it got cancelled due to the organization freezing the position for now. Really, it's a good thing since my confidence has been below par. I would interview better any day. Hopefully, though, the position is 'unfrozen' soon. I'd at least like the chance. *cha ching cha ching* Show me the money! That's all I'm saying. Wonder if I called my boss and screamed "Show me the money!" really loudly what he'd do? I'm thinking he'd not appreciate it.
I've had a headache for two days. LLCoolMuffin wanted to know if it was due to her upcoming birthday. And a bit of it might have been, but right now, I can feel every muscle in my back is tight. What in the world do I have to feel stressed about? Ya. Not too much.
