Game Day

So the start of the NFL season is now officially underway. The Steelers played the Titans last night at Heinz Field with a home opener that I wish I could have been there for! They had black-eyed peas and Tim McGraw playing at the Point before the game and they had Harry Connick Jr. singing the National Anthem. They also did a nice tribute to the victims of 9-11. I actually had chills watching him sing and seeing the pictures of the different places the planes hit.

I am not going to go into the account of everything that happened last night, if i did I would be looking for a job as a sportscaster. LOL I will say that our offense came out looking HORRIBLE and our defense again (at least for the first half of the game) saved us from what should have been a better scoring game (on behalf of the Titans). Thank GOD the Titans kicker can't kick at Heinz Field! Good thing Jeff Reed can show him how its done. LOL. The second half was good except that we lost Troy to a knee injury that will plague him for the next couple of weeks. :-( I will also say that it broke my heart when Ward fumbled the ball with a minute left to the game. That man ALWAYS has a smile on his face and he looked like he was going to cry. At least we were able to win it in overtime with a field goal kick. All I have to say is next week boys lets show up for all 60 minutes of the game instead of just 30 minutes! Can't wait though for what next week is going to bring...CAN'T WAIT. I am also expecting Ward to come out and redeem himself and as he is my favorite player of ALL TIME I am looking forward to that as well.

Well until next time remember to have fun!

preliminary

Well I had another interview today...it is a preliminary one but unfortunately if i make it to the second round I won't have the second interview for almost 2 weeks as the other girl giving the interviews is going on vacation starting tomorrow. :-( Oh well. It is for a travel agency as a part time receptionist and could lead to full time after 90 days. I think that would be perfect for getting my foot in the door for event planning. Hopefully I get it as I really need a job at this point...

Labor Day Weekend

Well the holiday weekend is just about over and I can say it was about the same as every other weekend I have had here. It has been quite funny listening to my friends (here and at home) talk about the 3 day weekend...The only difference for me is that my sister was at home all three days more often then not (or at least we were together). Friday I really don't remember what I did as the days are now running together (when I do the same thing day after day i can't remember when each day is different. Sat hung out at the house, my sister went to the beach and then we went and got a dvd/vcr player and watched a movie. We watched Definitely, maybe and it was super cute! I would suggest watching it if you have the chance. Yeaterday night we all went to Folly beach for some nightlife. We went to jen's house and played some card games and drank a little there. We went to about 3 different bars at the beach and it was a lot of fun. Its weird...here I feel kind of old going to the bars, I didn't feel that way at home. I don't know if it is b/c the people actually are so much younger here or if it is b/c when I go out at home I have my friends around me so I am not paying that close attention to the people around me. Today was Labor and we had a BBQ at jen's apt complex, there were 8 of us which was nice. Afterwards Sarah and I came back home and took a quick swim in our pool. It was a good day. Also I found out I have an interview tomorrow morning so wish me luck on that. I am praying that I can actually get this job. I need it more then anyone realizes!

Hope yinz all had a great 3 day weekend!

Been awhile

So I know I was going to blog daily (or try to) and I have been away for awhile. Things have been crazy, and not so crazy all at the same time. When we moved down here we had no internet and I had no desk for my computer, put those together and it means I am not blogging. LOL I am going to try and get into it more though until I find a job it may be off and on as my days seem to be the same anymore. Anyways here goes...

As from above, I still do not have a job. I am currently looking what seems like EVERYWHERE but not getting any phone calls. I have had 3 intervies, one said no and the other two never called me. I was told I should call them and bug them but in my head I don't know if I want to work for a company that doesn't even have the curtesy to tell me that I was not a good fit for the job. I am still plugging away though and not giving up. I figure if I put in AT LEAST one application a day then I am trying...most days i put it a whole lot more but I am trying to stay on top of it while i can.

Other then that I have been staying around the house a lot...the apt is really nice and the complex is beautiful!

While I am not looking for a job (whether it be online or out and about) I am trying to exercise. I have been doing Jillian Michaels from OnDemand and she is kicking my butt! There is also a little fitness center in the complex that I have gone to a few times.

Charleston itself is beautiful. The downtown section is completely a tourist place and the houses and surrounding area is really nice. When we first got here we took a carriage ride around town and the stories were pretty cool. It's amazing that some of the houses are still standing after some of the things they went through (war, floods, etc). I am hoping that once I find a job I can start going out and doing more of the tourist type excursions. I would love to know more about this place.

Since my sister is working, she has met a lot of graet people and the nice thing is that her friends have accepted me as part of their group which is really nice. I don't have much to say when we all go out b/c 90% of the time they are talking about the school they all work in but it is nice to go out once and awhile. We have mostly been to the bars around town which I have enjoyed most of them.

I miss everyone from home of course and can't WAIT for October to get here so I can go home and see some of them. My cousins wedding is why I would be going home and the weekend will mostly be about family but I can't wait. I am a little homesick now but it is actually better then I anticipated it would be. Well I will hopefully write again soon and hopefully it will be fun news (like i got a job!). Until then LET'S GO STEELERS!!!!
