Two weeks from now, a lot of us Americans are going to be busily preparing our yearly turkey feast. I was poking around the Internet looking for new recipes to try and I came across a site with the most wonderful
Thanksgiving Treats. I would love to serve this
Brandy Pumpkin cake. It sounds so yummy:
It's a rich blend of pumpkin, cream cheese, walnuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves that has been gathered together and then soaked in brandy to give this decadent dessert a spirited richness with spicy undertones. And talk about moist, you can eat an entire piece without ever having to reach for a glass of milk.
I probably can't swing one in time for the big feast this year, but I'd love to get one of these
Spirited Eggnog cakes spiked with rum for Christmas.

You are The Hermit
Prudence, Caution, Deliberation.
The Hermit points to all things hidden, such as knowledge and inspiration,hidden enemies. The illumination is from within, and retirement from participation in current events.
The Hermit is a card of introspection, analysis and, well, virginity. You do not desire to socialize; the card indicates, instead, a desire for peace and solitude. You prefer to take the time to think, organize, ruminate, take stock. There may be feelings of frustration and discontent but these feelings eventually lead to enlightenment, illumination, clarity.
The Hermit represents a wise, inspirational person, friend, teacher, therapist. This a person who can shine a light on things that were previously mysterious and confusing.

I've put in two days of work at the new job. I hope I get to be full time soon! The sooner that happens, the quicker I'll get through 90 days until FULL BENEFITS, paid holidays and all of that other good stuff that comes with working for a decent company! I was a little down this morning. One, because there was nothing to post about from PPP. I really enjoy checking out the sites in the opportunities and then giving my humble opinion. I also really need cash coming in. Two, because of that email I got yesterday about the job. I had really wanted to work there and if I had been hired four months ago when I interviewed, I wouldn't have had this whole unemployment mess. *sigh* Oh, well. I guess I needed the depth to which I sank to teach me some valuable lessons. Finally, three, I need to get more sleep. I can't let myself stay up until midnight hanging out in the PPP forums.
On a totally different note, I'm sure everyone has seen the Pepto Bismol commercial with all the office employees dancing to the song that goes, "Naseau, Heartburn, Indigestion, Upset Stomach, Diahrrea." Well, there's a new one for Pepto MAX that has Paul Bunyon, Godzilla, a Space guy, etc. dancing. Really freaky. I had to stop fast-forwarding and go back to make sure I seen what I had thought I had seen.

Have you ever been out running errands and found something you'd like to purchase later, but didn't have paper to write yourself a note? How about needing to do something later, but by the time you get home, you can't remember what it was? Now there's a awesome new service out there called
BrainCast. Once you sign up for the FREE service, you can call a toll-free number you can call to leave yourself messages that will be forwarded to your email inbox. You can enter up to three phone numbers you'll be calling from and to which email you'd like those messages forwarded.
It's like that episode of "The New Adventures of Old Christine" where she calls her answering machine multiple times in the middle of the night to remind herself of stuff she needs to do that next day without having to have an answering machine! I just programmed my free number in to my phone. I'll let you all know how it works out.

I got an email this afternoon from a company I interviewed with waaaay back before I even lost my last job:
Hello LaDonna,
You interviewed with me here at XXXXXX XXXXXXXX a few months back and I wanted to check with you to see if you found a Graphics position or not. We will have an opening soon and I thought would inquire to see if you were available or still had an interest in doing Trade Show large format graphic design.
Dammit! This was slightly amusing yesterday what I got that phone message, but this is downright infuriating! So now that I've actually now have, all my past interviews are going to come out of the woodwork with offers of employment? Grrrrrrrr!
