LET'S GO PENS!!

My boys pulled it out and beat the Rangers in game 2...If you know me you know I am a huge hockey fan and an even bigger Penguins fan!!! I was in love with Jagr when I was in high school. We are talking..jersey, his book, pictures of his pad in Pittsburgh (that one of my family members that I will not name snuck on his property and snapped pics)..in other words, a bit obsessed. So, you can imagine my disappointment when my fav player decided to leave Pittsburgh (which he considered his home and adored his team mates) to go to Washington for more money. Which I am happy to say he did horrible and was not worth any of the money they spent on him. I am not a Caps fan (how many Stanley Cups have they won...HA, that would be ZERO). Now Jagr is in NY and I got to watch him get spanked by his old team. Should have stayed..Jags...you would be a winner today! Oh and Straka too could be a winner today..

Oh, to help you Caps fans out..Pittsburgh has two Stanley Cups (I know you were going to check it out).

Signed..

Bitter but happy...LET'S GO PENS!

ADAM

Adam started work and he really likes it so far. He got his own van this week and spent one day working with the owner doing an install. He said that it is a small shop with about 6 technicians and he is learning a lot about the major differences in systems here vs. VA. The zero percent humidity is a huge difference. First day he rode with a guy who said his cousin just moved to Seminary Rd in Alexandria....crazy coincidence. He is working long hours and enjoying getting up every day with somewhere to go. Although today he went to work and ended up at breakfast with the guys (.99 breakfast) and did not start work until around 11am--owner included. He said everyone is pretty chill. Then after work the boys were going to see some boobs..he is fitting in just fine.

I went to an interview at Caesar's today to be an event coordinator--it looks good but the salary is so bad. Let's just say I was making the same amount when I was 22yrs old. A job is a job but good GOD!
I have also been interviewing with Freeman (large exhibit company nationwide) I have been on two interviews and they went great. Next step is panel interview and that won't happen until about first week of May, then they make a decision. The pay is awesome and so are the benefits, but I could not hear anything for a month. Caesar's should be calling in a few days. Catch 22..OF COURSE. Nothing is solid, I have yet to hear any definite answers.
It is super windy here. You know how back home we would get torrential winds and then rain. Nope-wind all day and not a drop of rain. Think sunny and 76 degrees with a constant ocean breeze. It is pretty awesome. Although it blows dust everywhere and Adam said it is hell when you are on a roof.

Oh Adam's van is one of those vans with the big ads on the side. You know with the guy painted on the side of it..HA! Picture to follow....

GYM

Ladies..
I know some of you work out at Gold's gym. They offer this kick ass (sorry for the pun) cardio kick boxing class. I took it and then took Body Pump right after it (I know nuts). Anyway, if you get a chance take it. It is an awesome workout. Think Tae Bo, but updated a little. It may also depend on your instructor mine is a little ball of fire and I love her.

Oh, and the new body pump is awesome. I did a preview class and I know most of you like body pump so you will love the new one.

...Later

BLOGGING

Hi guys! It is starting to get warm here--90's earlier this week and then the hurricane force winds came through. We had winds at upwards of 20 mph-the visibility was really bad due to all the dust. We are back to the 80's but drop pretty low at night.
I have been keeping up with my Red Cross volunteering so that helps the time pass. I also met with Manpower so I have a recruiter out there checking out the job scene. I have applied to multiple bars and restaurants, but I have been out of the game so long that they are not even hiring me. I did go on a second interview this week and it went well, next is a panel interview and then who knows the next step. I will not hear anything until the first week in May.
Adam got a job!!! He starts Monday and he is super excited. He said his new boss is great and has been in the business for 30+ years. All the vans are new and the guy was super nice. He loves the F word, Adam said there was no shortage of F bombs (i need that kind of boss).
So, things are starting to move forward with some positive news. Now I will assume role as house girlfriend--pool and gym all day and have dinner on the table in the evening. I may get used to this:)
My parents are coming out in May so that will be cool. We will be hitting up some shows, so I am super excited.
We are sorry we will miss the soiree at Heather and Josh's this weekend and a Big CONGRATS to the Hussers--they are homeowners. WOW!--all of you are getting so damn domesticated. What happened to renting in sin???
A very special birthday greeting to Alexis Thacker--she is a big five year old today. I talked to her on the phone and she sounds so grown up then she passed the phone off to Carter (my friend Courtney's little guy). It made my day to talk to the two of them-they just got out of cooking class. HA!--I love it.
Gotta go..Adam is vacuuming and this is rare so I am going to grab a beer and enjoy the scenery:) Just kidding--he does vacuum and iron!
Again, miss all of you so much.

HOUSE GUEST

Cheryl came back into town to pick up her stuff and head back to LA for good...BOO! I picked her up from the airport and then went to Tara and Mike's for a cook out (by the way Tara and Mike are moving to Denver in August). Saturday was moving day...her truck is all packed up and ready to go. We are watching B ball and drinking beers. SAD..the only people we have made connections with are leaving. Oh well, August is still awhile away.
This is kind of funny..I was at the gym the other day in a body pump class and this girl called me "buff" LOL. Tara told someone last night that I drink like a guy and can drink boys under the table. Then Cheryl called me abnormally strong for a girl while we were moving. Thank god for boobs and estrogen or I would believe I am being called a guy. AND...what is wrong with being strong and being able to drink boys under the table. I call that talent!! OH--and I had pigtails in LOL!!!
Another lazy weekend in NV...
Hope all is well with everyone
