To Lawton, Oklahoma.  eek

I know where that is!  And I hear there is an incredible burger place right outside of town that's on my bucket list of places to visit.

Thankfully we finally got a little rain tonight.

We got a little rain yesterday morning. Mom left yesterday afternoon and Jeremy/Athena came home last night! Our worlds are back in their normal orbits for a while.

Back @work today. We had a good visit this weekend. went shopping on Friday & Saturday, church on Sunday!

Roscoe

Countdown to vacation....
Got a bit done today in spite of everyone else. Got Rusty running, got the last bit of primer sprayed on Sam and partially mounted his rear fenders. I may spray his final paint coat this Saturday...
Ready, however, to roll out to Gatlinburg. Probably Sunday morning but maybe Saturday night..

Best thing I saw in Gatlinburg was the pinball museum.

I like the nature there. And there is a muscle car museum nearby, and flea markets.
Morning all. Dragging, trying to avoid coffee ad sodas for their calories, and my diet mountain dew does not have enough caffeine.

Best thing I saw there was a thrift store that Lou had obviously never been to. I got so many CDs...

We went there for a chat meetup last year. We all just lived our lives in Pigeon Forge for a week. My friends saw me listening to big stacks of CDs I had bought for a few hours to see if I liked them.

My third interview went so well yesterday. This is the one I really want I think. It's on the Aetna side.
I connected so well with my interviewers. They both told me if I get the job to connect with them because they wanted to help me any way they could. I almost felt like the one girl straight up would fight to get me on her team. All offers are locked down until 9/5 cus of our transition to a new hiring platform etc. So I won't know anything for another week or so. Waiting is so hard lol.

Then it'll fly by so fast you'll wonder what happened. ;)

Nelle

So excited for Monday off! I love a free day off.

@Work. I got to work early by like.. 10 minutes. Finished payroll so this guy could pick up his check. THEN my computer literally just basically shut off on me. Restarted and seems to be running fine now. Thankfully I already had payroll done. Then I went to Wendy's and grabbed breakfast b/c I was starving. Now I'm trying to re-motivate.

MsJennJenn

Yesss Nelle. So excited to have another short week. I was off this past Monday too. So excited to have another Monday in a row off LOL.

Got declined for both jobs I interviewed for last week. Plus I had another interview set up for Sept 12 and it got canceled yesterday too. So strange. I have to believe God has a plan - which hopefully means the Aetna job!!  :'(

Husbands out of town in Wichita Falls this week and the next two weeks. And he is so beat down. They just really do not want him to succeed or have his own store. Makes me so grrrr. Just wish he could get a win.  :sadbounce:

All in good time Jenn. I remember when I applied for my "dream job". Interview was amazing, and the interviewers even told me that. But they still went with someone else- someone who had academic qualifiers but ZERO experience. As in straight out of college. I was hurt and upset.
  Within six months, this job came open and it has been blessing upon blessing for the past 7 years. I love my job, have terrific bosses, better pay, better hours, and great coworkers. Every few weeks, there is something good that comes my way in it.
That "waiting in the hall" between doors was so difficult and stressful, but it was 1000% worth it when I made it through the door God wanted me to go through instead of the pretty painted door I wanted to kick off its hinges. :lol:

And- motivational speech over, I'm still the same lovable grump who is not a morning person at all this morning. Thankful it is friday, especially since it is the last day of work before I am off for 10 days...

Over here today is a BLEEP of a day. Friday, first of the month government checks and Labor Day weekend.

Now in Cookeville,  TN.
About 2 hours away from Gatlinburg...we've been stopping  and lous been shopping.  New Ford did decent t...average 21mpg, much better than I feared for a v8 full size truck.

Our son and his 3 boys were here this weekend. They left this afternoon. Had a blow out on the trailer on the way back home. Thankfully, some nice folks helped him get another tire since he just got the trailer and didn't have a spare yet. It's hard to do everything when you've got three kids by yourself.

Lord
 Lou has located the Zadie B's in Sevierville.  I may never actually get to Gatlinburg  :laughhard:

And you were so close!

There's more than one thrift store in that town. Beware!
