Bissell 3594

Over Christmas, Brad and I had a real Christmas tree. However, since we weren't home that much and failed to tell the people who were taking care of Sammy to water the tree, it pretty much died and spit up all over our carpet. It was quite the pleasure to clean up. Not really, and our vacuum cleaner didn't think so either. We pretty much killed it by trying to suck up all the dead needles. It lost its power.

Soooo...after dealing with it for about 6 weeks...we caved and bought a brand new vaccuum cleaner...a Bissell 3594. It has this amazing clean/dirty light that shows red if the floor is dirty and green if the floor is clean. Both Brad and I are completely mesmerized by the light. Red dirty, green clean. Red dirty, green clean.

Google works

For several weeks, this blog was only searchable under yahoo search engine. Finally, google has picked it up. This is great! I know that there are alot of people out there who have been google-ing Sarah's name and that is the main reason I made this blog. Yay!

I planted a gardenia plant in my front yard that somebody gave me for Sarah this weekend. It's really tiny compared to the huge camilla plants that are next to it, but hopefully it will grow and bloom soon...

Job Interviews

So, I've been on this kick where I hate my job. This kick has been going since about July 2 (the day I started work in the burn center). I finally decided to do something about it, so I applied to a job at a physician's office specializing in oncology patients (9-5 M-F, no weekends, no holiday, only small pay cut) and one job at Planned Parenthood. The funny thing about BOTH of these jobs is that the classifieds ad specifically asked for people who had 3-5 years experience in the area. I have 7 months experience in an area that is completely on the other end of the spectrum (burns to babies...that could work)....

Well, I got the job at the oncology practice and now I don't have the guts to actually quit my job at the burn center and take this job. (There are some bad things about quitting like paying back $1667.67, buying Brad an insurance policy from MCG for $700, being without benefits for 30 days, probably not being able to go on the vacation Brad and I are planning this summer, and of course the whole "this looks bad on my resume.") I'm torn....AND tomorrow I have an interview with Planned Parenthood. Should I quit?
