Texas

I've been in Texas since Thursday evening. It is sooo much fun to be down here. I am enjoying every moment I get with the special man in my life.  We have been just sitting around for the most part being lazy. On Saturday, his 2 oldest daughter had Brian do the inspection for the home her and her boyfriend are buying. It is a very pretty home and passed all the inspections Brian put it through. Brand new home, just outside of Dallas. Wish the two of them the best of luck in home ownership!
Kristine called yesterday when I was shopping. She is so excited to have a boyfriend again. After the marriage (that really never began) was over, she was not in a very good place. But she has since found what she enjoys in life and has been having a good time with friends she had lost touch with. So happy for her (even though she said I failed in the excitement level). I will have to work on that for her! lol
Letting Luke use my car while I'm in Texas. He is driving an older '95 Dodge Dakota that is on it's last legs and costs him "both of his legs" to put gas into it. I wish I could help him out and find him a car, but not in a good position financially right now to do that.
That brings me to my biggest frustration. I have been without a job for what seems to be forever! I interview well, but evidently others have what the employers are looking for. I have filled out so many applications I have lost count. Problem seems to be my past work history (making decent money and in higher positions of authority) does not make me marketable for minimum wage- weekend type of jobs. I am beginning to think I should tell people I have not worked for many years to see if that would help. But then I will be told I don't have any experience. I see ads for Home Depot, McDonalds, Gas stations, and I apply but never get called for interviews. I did go on a couple of interviews in home health as a PCA but so far without success. Grrr.
I am moving to Texas for the summer and working construction with Brian. He seems to have a lot of work, but his boss doesn't always get paid timely by customers, to pay the employees (Brian). But I am hopeful and have been praying a lot more than I usually do (which anyone who knows me is A LOT!) and many prayers are being answered with "yes". Good things are in store. Brian is trying to teach me patience (not something I am particularly good at). There are a number of different jobs I can get down here if I choose not to work in construction but I did buy a hot pink tool belt, lol.
Well, back to my vacation! It is going by very fast and I really want it to slow down a bit. Working tomorrow with Brian at a woman's home I was at 2 months ago. She is adorable! Can't wait to see her again. Good bye for now!!
