Unemployed Chic

This is how I am referring to myself.. Since this is Day 1 with NO JOB!! YAY! I do have some exciting news... Lots has been happening (I guess that is what happens when you don't blog...)

  • I am a finalist for my job!! Not only is it the job that I applied for, they bumped me up to run the entire association. I am so excited, this is exactly what I want. Hard, challenging and fun work!!!! Here is the odd glitch--- I have my interview with the board next week and then dinner afterwards.. Except, I am pretty sure it is both of us having dinner. Any advice? Anyone been through this?
  • I sold my first cupcake order last week! One of my friend's moms was having a party and found out it was a guests birthday, so she ordered 30 cupcakes from me!!
  • I am in Texas for 10 days!! MY best friend is getting married on Saturday and since I am Unemployed Chic.. I thought why not an extended visit!!
  • I am an Aunt again!!! I have a new 3 week old niece. She is adorable...

Today is Best Friends Day! So reach out to the people closest to you and let them know how much they mean to you!!

Did I say One Interview... I meant Two!!

Hi Ladies!!! Well, week one of my 4 weeks is almost over! Last night I received a call from the other company I applied to and had an impromptu interview over the phone. I was less than prepared for this, but managed to b.s. my way through, ahhh how I love political jobs. But, I guess I was ok, they are having me come in on Friday at 4pm, yes TOMORROW!! So, now I have a Friday interview and a Wednesday interview!!

This weekend is a big one! Mr. Bliss is graduating from lawschool on saturday afternoon. After three long years, I feel like our life can begin (granted he passes the bar)..

I just have to rant about Danny Gokey not making the final two. What is going?? He is so much better than Kris, ugh.... Guess I will be cheering for Adam Lambert.

With a Sigh of Relief...

Happy Saturday! Other than maybe having to start building an Ark here on the East Coast, I closed a horrible chapter in my life yesterday and opened a new one today!

Well, after months of being unhappy, this week grew substantially worse at work. So, I gave notice yesterday. I gave 4 weeks notice, I know this is alot, but I do have substantial responsibilites and do not want to leave with enemies. I do not have a job yet (which is stressful), but I have a great interview on the 20th and I have a wonderful Mother who is supporting my decision. After getting over the nauseous feeling, haha, I woke up feeling refreshed.

Hopefully, my blogging will be more stable (since I am currently getting an F) and my life will be happy!!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Cinco De Mayo!

Hello All! I am sorry for my lack of posting. It has been crazy. So much has been going!

Mr. Bliss is HOME! He took his last final on Saturday!!! I am so excited!

I was in Dallas for a 4-day weekend. I was a bridesmaid in one of my sorority sisters’ wedding. It was so great to go home and see my friends, I live TOO far away! We ate great food, drank too much champagne and had a wonderful weekend.

On the job front.. I have an interview May 20th!! Send me good thoughts, as I start to prepare. I am so excited. I really hope this all works out.

Since, so many people commented on the dress.. I did buy it and I should have listened. Very cute for a pool dress, but has NO shape. I returned it!

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday. I will be catching up on everyone’s blogs, I promise!!!


Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Job Update

I was contacted by one of the companies that I applied for today!! They had me take an online personality test. when I competed the test, I replied to his email. He responded very quickly thanking me for my promptness and that he already received my results, which were quite impressive (his words).. YAY!! Hopefully, I will get tot he next step!

Well, it was a weird day weather wise. I was opening my garage door and ice pellets flew in. Yes, people ICE... This Texan does not appreciate ice in April. haha, oh well!

Anyone else watching Idol? All I have to say is what the heck are these ladies wearing???

Product Review Needed!!

Has anyone tried this dress on from Jcrew? It is really cute, but sometimes the lack of structure can be unflattering. It is the Pique Pavilion Dress. Let me know! Thanks!!
