I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!

I got a call last Monday from The Home Improvement Depot canceling my Interview and rescheduling for the 19th. I was so disappointed and began worrying all over again about our situation. So, I got busy on the Internet loaded up my resume and sent it out all over the place!! The results were great three Interviews set up and guess what?? I was hired immiedently at a Salon in Alatomonte Springs! It's a Day spa/Salon brand new and I am actually excited to get behind a chair. I 've come to the realization that maybe I wasn't burned out of my chosen profession?! but, of the place I was working for 14 1/2 yrs!!
What an ephifany ! DH isn't thrilled cause of the drive I have to make and he made me feel like it wasn't a good choice but... we need the $$$$$$ So we can get the hell out of here and move to NC!
I chose to celebrate by going to the LYS which was on my way home (could be tempting now that I work near there now lol) and I picked up the Fiber Trends Clog pattern I've been wanting !!! I just need the circ's and some wool now.... (first paycheck?)
Tried to do a sock on 2 circ's last night.. not a bad start but I'm thinking I prefer my dpn's lmao

The fact that I have lived in Florida for 28 yrs. really makes that funny!!! I am from Duluth/Superior (MN.- WI. border ya 'all) and that it picked up on my non existant accent is hilarious!!!
Let's see whats i've been up to hmmm....
Thursday I knit in the parking lot at husbeast's Job while waiting for him to pick up his check LOL working on my newest sock which is regia I bought many moons ago.
I frogged ( just do it!) my koigu sock since I didn't like the way it turned out and I didn't have enough to finish the second pair.
I knit up a wristlet from said Koigu cover my tatoo on my wrist when I go for my Job Interview Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!
I went out friday morn and filled applications at Wally-World (felt like I was being asked for my second born child - it took forever) and a Large Home Improvement store.
I need Benefits since the evil bastard I formerly worked for took care of all that when he let me go. I need more surgery and Scott has high blood pressure meds we can no longer afford !!I think EB said you can still keep your insurence thru Cobra .Yeah right Like I could have afforded that !
I digress....
I'm excited about the interview and I no longer wear a watch so the wristlet was a good idea for now.
I fell down the stairs on the back porch of our building from the second floor! Yup ankle went out from under me and while I managed to grab the railing I left a bit of skin on it ! My right knee looks like it did when I fell off my bike 30 yrs ago and I am a lovely shade of purple.
I am still working on husbeasts scarf and I need to finish syd's gloves and make her a matching scarf for her 9th b-day (feb. 9th) doubt I can finish her gryfendor scarf by then....

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: North Central
 

"North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot.
