Procrastination...

Today I have a phone interview for my dream job, I should be preparing for it, but first I wanted to update my blog and maybe check some emails and see what is happening on Facebook, you get the idea. Procrastination is what I do best and my answer for when they ask "what is one of your weaknesses?" You would think after 20 some years I'd stop waiting until the last minute to do things and eliminate the panic that ensues, but no, not yet. When I was writing my thesis for grad school, I always waited until the last minute to begin writing. If a chapter was due Monday, I'd start on Sunday and usually something would go wrong and I would freak out that it wouldn't get done on time, but it always did (thank God). I did prepare some yesterday and I don't want to be over prepared, but this is MY DREAM JOB!!!!

Ever since I stayed at the children's hospital in our city, I knew I wanted to work there and help kids. Now I should of gone to school to be a nurse or some other position that would allow me to work there, but I didn't. I went to school to be an art therapist, which is an amazing profession, just not where I live. Rarely are there full time positions open and those that have them never leave. I think the last time this position was open was 2002. I applied for it then, but no luck. So for today, my goal is to get an in-person interview. At 2pm EST, please send some positive vibes my way!

On to other things. For two days now I have gotten up at 6am to walk on the treadmill. Let me tell you, I am not a morning person and when the alarm goes off, I just want to curl up under the covers and sleep for another hour. I also discovered while on the treadmill, that I am more out of shape than I thought. I used to be able to walk at a 3.5-3.7 pace. I am currently at a 3.3 pace and am out of breath when I am done. It feels great to have exercise out of the way, but I need to get back to where I was. I also only walk for 30 minutes and before I would go for at least 45 minutes if not an hour. So I will take it day by day and get back to where I need and want to be.

I still need to go shopping for jeans and think I will attempt it this week. I hate jeans shopping. Anyone have any brands they love? I need tall and they seem harder and harder to find in a store. I don't want to order online because of the hassle to return them. We'll see what happens.

That's all for now, off to prepare for the interview, or do something else ; ) I hope you are all having a great day!
