YAY!!
We have a new President!!!
I am getting back in touch with an old friend, I finished a Monkey, bought a pig (stuffed, not real, as no pigs (monkeys, llamas, sheep, dogs or any other cute furry critter i can think of) are allowed, just the 2 kitties), my interviews the past 2 days, look promising, so fingers crossed. Both are family run businesses, which is good, because you spend enough time with them, they are like your family...I love Novemeber. ooh, is that ok to say or will I jinx something?

November....
It's November and I have an interview tomorrow & Tuesday...YAY!!!
What I did on Halloween...I thefted Lish's (Lishes?) idea and rented a couple movies, ate chocolate & cookies. What did I watch you ask?...Shawshank Redemtion. True, I had never seen that movie before, but now I have, so, LEAVE ME ALONE! It was good, surprise, surprise, I didn't cry, dont' think I'll have an urge to watch it again, but I can finally cross it off my list of movies " have to watch" according to other people, other movies include, Death to Schmoochy, Big Time (Tom Waits) etc. Scanners & Retrurn of the Living Dead were on the list, but, thanks to Halloween, they've been on TV so, a Pammy has had the displeasure of watching those fine 80's flicks. You know what Pammy wants, more CORY HAIM!
anywho.
Am going to go drink my yummy tea in the hopes it will make my tummy less summersalty.
