I'm naked!

That’s right, my braces are off early! I went in and pleaded my case of having a job interview the next day and with a new job, I might not be able to come in to get them off and Dr.I had a heart and asked if I had the time to get them off right then. “Do I ever!” was my response. I think my teeth look weird without them now but they are nice and straight and it sure is nice to eat without worrying what combination of foods is stuck between my brackets and spending too much time in public bathrooms cleaning them. Dr.I also gave me a bleaching kit for free. He must have noticed my coffee stains. Some whitening and self scraping have removed them for the most part. The retainer is a bit of a pain in the ass and I still lisp with then in but it’s not that bad and I can put the bleach right in them.

I sweated it out, wondering if they would notice I wasn’t paid in full and tell me no but no one said anything except tons of praise, excitement and some high fives. I quickly exited with the retainer before they could figure it out.

So, did I get the job? Haha, good joke. I am confident I would have rocked the interview but they have a policy that they cannot hire me with a real estate license. It’s a conflict of interest since they are a law firm that deals with foreclosures. Aaaaargh! Unbelievable. It was my recruiter’s fault for not informing me until the last minute. So, back to the drawing board. Tick tock, tick tock…

I'm not so stupid...well maybe I am...

My grades came back and I got a “B”, my usual mediocrity.

Vicki & Matt were back in town for a family wedding. Vicki made time to do my hair since I can’t afford to go see my usual stylist and I really needed my color done while job hunting. Trust me it looked bad before she got her hands on it. Melissa came over too and cut Sky’s hair. My dining room was turned into salon frenzy since Vicki was doing Melissa’s hair too. I appreciate it so much and my hair looks fabulous…too bad she lives so far away. I am not sure if my usual stylist can reproduce the color pattern she used but I need a job anyways before I can see him again.

So that brings up the word of the day: Job! J-O-B. Ugh, I am tired of sending out resumes with no response. I did get an interview, but after attending it, I realized I didn’t want the job anyways…hours that did not work well with one car in a 3 job family and crappy pay. It doesn’t matter since I didn’t get it anyways. I’m now working with a different recruiter that seems to think I am going for the wrong type of jobs. It’s getting very frustrating and depressing and Valium has become my best friend just so I can sleep. It turns out I have a kid who actually wants some stuff for Christmas and right now luxuries like groceries and gas are impossible to come up with. Oh yeah, he still believes in Santa and said “Don’t worry Mom, Santa has money.”. Uh…sure he does.

I talked Dr.I into setting a date for my debanding, December 13th! I was so excited I could barely sit still. Getting my braces off is a dream. I have put in my time in them, over 2 years, and I’m really happy with how my teeth look now. Unfortunately, they want me to be paid in full by then and I don’t see how in hell that will happen with the retainer fee involved. Well, it could happen if I had a fucking job by now!

Usual happenings at Walmart...

You know when you’re browsing through the discounted Halloween items at Walmart and this little, old, creepy guy starts talking to you about real life serial killers he finds fascinating? No? Ok, maybe it’s just lucky me then. He did fail to mention that David Parker Ray guy and I definitely had more information on all the ones he mentioned. Maybe he thought I was the freaky one.
