Umeployment Sucks, Workouts Good, and Random...

So I can't think much today. I don't know what it is, I just feel like there's not too much exciting to report on my end. I'm still job hunting and it sucks, I'm beginning to think I'm trying to be too picky, even though I'm really not. At this point I'd be happy to have a job, heck I even put my resume into a staffing company and still no word. That's gotten me frustrated as all can be because it's not like I don't have any experience. I have tons of experience and am a college graduate, but apparently that means nothing. Sometimes I feel like people see on my resume that I'm from CA and they just push my resume aside and not read further. Ugh! I'm thisclose to actually registering for a graphic design program, but for some reason I still haven't taken that step quite yet. There's a job fair tomorrow, but I'm a little unsure on if anything will come out of it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and prayers going. At this point in time this cartoon doesn't look like a bad idea!



To keep me fairly distracted from my unemployment woes I've been working out like a crazy person. Well not that extreme but I have been doing a lot better than I was back home. Have you guys heard of Fit TV? Since we've moved here, I've become a huge fan. We had this channel back home, but I kind of ignored it since I didn't have as much time for cool workouts, but now it's my fave. In the morning they have an All Star Workouts class that's about an hour long and it whips me into shape. I add that into some extra exercises that the hubs gives me and I'm one tired little lady. Today for example I did a Bhangra Dance, I've also done Body Sculpt, Kickboxing, you name it. It keeps me motivated and isn't dull because it's something different everyday. If nothing else it's getting me active. I set my dvr and rotate them so I always have something new.

...And lastly I got this quiz from a friend through email and I thought I'd let my mind wander and answer. Here you go :)

What famous person do other people tell you that you most resemble?
Um I really don't look like anyone famous. The only thing one of my friend's told me once is that I kinda look like Marissa Tomei, but she's not even that famous.

What is the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?
I think back in elementary school some kid brought fried octupus to school and I tried that otherwise I'm pretty tame.

Do you believe honesty is the best policy?
I think if it's in the best interest of the person then it is, but if it'll hurt someone or do more harm then good it's best to keep shut.


What vegetable do you most resemble?
What? I'm not sure I follow, but I guess if I had to say a cucumber. I'm pretty average, and proportionate I'd say.

What dead person would you least want to be haunted by?
What the heck? I don't want to be haunted by anyone thank you very much but I guess some crazy psychotic killer. Yeah we've been watching too many Criminal Minds episodes.

What do you think Victoria’s secret is?
That's a darn good question, and you know I've always wondered that myself. Maybe you can tell me.

Which cartoon character do you resemble the most?
Again what's with the weird comparisons? Um, I'll go with Princess Jasmine she's always been a fave.

Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe?
Oh my hands down I would need to bathe. It would be miserable to stay in the same clothes, but at least I'd be clean.

Which of the four seasons do you most anticipate?
Spring/Summer. I love warm weather, I'm still a CA girl at heart.

You can choose your method of dying and the place in which you will die. Where would you like to die and how?
Ugh who came up with this morbid question? Can't I just die peacefully in my sleep at a very old age.

You can choose your last meal. What will the menu consist of?
Oh man that's hard I love food. Probably Italian with Fettucini Alfredo, Chicken Parmigana, and a chocolate souffle for dinner. Yeah I'm going all out.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
I'd love to be part of How I Met Your Mother they're entertaining.

If you joined the circus, what act would you most want to perform?
Ooh some sort of acrobatics thing, but 1st I'd need to learn.

Like the questions, feel free to grab it and play along yourself.

Fun post, enjoyed learning more about you! And jealous you have FitTV! I want it!

Mrs. Lopez

Keep up the working out! Great job! Hope you find a job soon!

Sammy

At least you're doing something productive, working out is a great way to past the time. I hope you have luck in the job department, maybe you should take the graphic design class and see how that goes. At least it would be fun and something to do until a job finds you!

Amber

I hate that you still haven't found a job. But something will come - it will! At least you're getting into great shape. :)

Mara

oh I hope everything works out with a job! That's so stressful :(

California Wife

I definitely feel your pain! When we moved to CA in August, I went what felt like forever without working and it was really tough. Eventually I just started working at JCrew for something to do, and then other jobs started opening up that I was more interested in. Maybe you could just find something like that to do in order to stay busy while waiting for a "real job" to come along.

Domesticated-Bliss

I feel you on the job search front :) I'm sure you'll find something soon, just keep it positive and don't let it stress you out!

Lil' Woman

Good luck with the job search...I'm on the prowl again myself...the last job just didn't work out so, I'm right there with ya girl.

Brittany

Crossing my fingers a job comes your way soon! I hope the job fair was helpful. Good for you for staying active!!

Ashley @ KiwisandCocktails
