Friday: I had an interview with a start-up staffing agency. At first, I was super excited, because the job description basically described exactly what I'm doing, but for higher pay and room for growth. But then I found out where it is, and realized I'm not able to get there via public transportation (and I don't have a car). So, I figured I would just try to do a good job so the recruiter who told me about it would look good. I was nervous, but I thought I did well. The interviewer was very nice and talked in a more conversational tone than just bombing me with questions. I'm supposed to find out about it soon.
I found out that my mom's good friend who usually does my taxes would not be doing them this year. He has been doing my taxes my whole working career. He just sent an email saying "I will not be able to do your taxes this year." No details. It was so strange. I know he and my mom got into a fight 2 years ago, but even last year he still did them for me. So, I needed to find a new tax person/company.
I was also able to make a deal with someone I work with who is selling his own sauces (like BBQ, Hot sauce, Teriyaki, etc.). I made him an order form, and asked if I could get $1 for every bottle that I personally sold. (Being that each bottle is about $4-5, this was iffy.) But he said yes! And then, with the order form, I was able to sell 3 bottles in about 10 min!! Hopefully this will continue!
Saturday: The stress of the week finally caught up with me. I slept in, watched movies, perused the internets, and ate. Love lazy days like that!
Sunday: Day of errands, but very productive!
- Got my taxes done! Woot woot! (I decided to go with H&R Block because they seemed reasonably priced and had an opening.)
- Delivered 3 shopping bags of clothes to Goodwill! This was also a major accomplishment since they had been sitting in our living room for about 2 months.
- We also decided to try meal planning. I had wanted to do this for awhile, but C is the resident chef in our house, so I had to wait to get him on board. Luckily, along with the idea of saving money and trying new recipes, he wanted to do it! And we were fairly successful, with teh exception of forgetting that Wednesday was no meat (religion).
- Then normal stuffs- groceries, laundry, bank, etc.
- Oh, and I designed my first logo for my company. Still needs work, but at least there was a draft.
Monday: Finally went snow tubing! C had bought 3 Living Social deals that are going to expire March 1. He bought a bunch because we thought our friends would want to go too, but we tried for 2 weeks and none of them wanted to join us, so we finally decided to just go ourselves. The deal was $25 for 2 people for 2 hours of snow tubing- pretty good! So we reserved 2 time slots, from 10-12, and then 2-4.
I was a little upset to have to wake up at 6:30AM and be out the door by 7, to go up on a mountain, but it was still fun. We didn't get there until about 9:30, and tubing started at 10AM. The morning session was great- it was new and exciting, and the line went quickly. But then we went to lunch. OMG. The lodge was so, SO crowded, we had to circle several times just to find a seat. And then, my food was crappy. C had a delicious roast beef sandwich smothered in gravy- sooo goood. I had some dried up chicken sandwich and cold, hard fries. Ew.
Anyway, we had some time to kill, so we went back to the car for awhile to warm up without being smushed, and then went back up to the beer garden before getting back on the shuttle to the snowtubing area- or should I say the "DropZone". The 2-4PM session was not as great. It was overrun by small kids and their parents, or "too cool for this but I want to go down the hill with all my friends" pre-teens. Both of which were super annoying in their own ways. In 2 hours, we only got 3 runs in!!! In the morning we had closer to 10! But, I was glad we finally went!!
