Still looking for a new job...

Well, lets see where we are with the job hunt...to start off S.left work, L. replaced her for 3 weeks but ended up taking an other job for more money. We have hired E. She is ok and getting better each day. It is hard to click with someone right away. We are the only ones up stairs so we need to get along and communicate. But this has not stopped me from looking for a new job. I did have an interview and then received word that they wanted a second interview with me. I think I would have gotten that job but they offered me $6,000 less than what I am making now and with two kids in college and a grandbaby on the way (another story) it just wasn't feasable for me to take that much of a cut in pay. Even if it is for peace of mind. Good old peace of mind doesn't pay the bills. I did send out a couple more resumes but haven't heard from them.

Now on to the grandbaby story...I found out in September that my daughter is expecting a baby. I guess it took me a while to get over the shock. She still has to finish college but hopefully she is strong enough to handle this and go to school. I keep on telling her that I am too young to be a grandma.... :-) Now that the shock has warn off I am excited about it and can't wait to find out what it is going to be so I can start buying baby stuff...Her due date is May 16, 2008.

New gym

I finally decided to join a new gym...I just wasn't getting a good enough workout from the Y anymore. I needed more variety so I decided to join Gold's gym. I have to say that I was a little sceptically. I have always worked out at the Y and have enjoyed my experiences with them. So when I finally made the decision to leave them I was not too happy. But my workout were suffering and that made me more unhappier.

So off to Gold's gym to check it out and to my surprise it was really nice inside. My first day of workouts was last Monday and I decided to do the step and abs class. Now I have done step before so I was no stranger to it but this was way beyond any step class that I took in the past. I did manage to finish out the class and even gave it another try for the rest of the week but I have now given up on step. I did decide to try body pump...I love it..so now I do body pump 3 days a week with a body attack and a spin class in between. Also all the instructors are so nice. I really like it there and will be getting my old tired body back in shape. Hopefully my sore body will forgive me sometime soon. I am just not as young as I used to be.
