Well, no calls for Rocket Clean. I'm going to apply at a nearby Hotel tomorrow, they're hiring for a few different positions. I also have an interview for a new Wing joint down the road that's opening soon. Every job I've looked at today online (Job Centers) wants to do background checks. That's fine, I totally understand why they do them...but it's killing me here. I have so much to offer...that it's frustrating that I can't get hired! Somedays I don't even want to get out of bed. I gotta keep trying though. Enough of that...I gotta stay positive. Hmmm, let's see....I'm coming up blank. My life is pretty boring these days. Jon is on his way over, so I guess I'll get ready. No plans for tonight, just pick up some applications. I talked to Merki earlier, she's getting excited for her upcoming trip to Mexico. Lucky Girl!!! Well, catch y'all on the flip side. Peace ~ Trixie

Well, this weekend Jon and I came up with the name of our business ~ (drumroll please....) "Rocket Clean" Mainly we needed something for an email address to get onto Craigslist and every name we could think of was being used....so Jon put down Rocket Clean and it was accepted. We have 3 ads posted and we're using both of our numbers, so I hope something happens soon. It's a good day. I watched the awards ceremony for the Nextel Cup earlier and saw Junior all dressed up, he looked so handsome! He's voted the Most Popular Driver (4th time in a row). Yah Junior!!! This has been a pretty mellow weekend. I'm fixin' to do some laundry (fun fun) and I'm adding some burgandy color to my hair as I type this. It's sunny out, which is awesome. "D" has put out a bunch of banana bread on the deck and there's a squirrel who's most appreciative. I'm not going to the Comedy show tonight, everyone cancelled on me and I don't want to go by myself. Oh well, some other time. I dreamt of my Dad again last night. It was a strange dream and if I remember right, some other people that I know that have passed on were also in the dream. Then, during the dream this little dog that I liked died and I was so sad. I woke up (literally) and tried not to fall back asleep cuz I knew I was having a sad dream. Then I slept and went right back to the dream. My Dad was holding the dog that had died and it was alive again. Crazy! I asked him why it was alive and then I woke up. Don't ask me what any of this meant. Anyhooo, I guess I'll go read the sunday paper. It's huge, as thick as the yellow pages. I hope everyone in the Stream is having a nice weekend!!! Y'all take 'r easy (or anyway you can get it) Trixie

I knew he'd be back from Afghanistan around November 1st, but I haven't heard from him and his vox. mailbox was full. I tried to call him again the other night and was happily surprised to hear he's changed his message. He's on a cruise through the Mediteranian with his Dad and won't be back till December 19th. I'm so happy for him! I've been watching the travel channel and they've been showing the same cruise, so that's cool. Let's see, what else is new? Not much. Gonna place an ad tonight for the housecleaning biz. Wish us luck. "D" got a call from NIKE and they're interested in hiring him for their company parties. That's major! Hope he gets it! Well, should be a pretty mellow weekend. I plan on going to the comedy show on sunday. Rock on! Trixie

Wow, this year is zipping on by at a fast pace! Rent is due and my bank account is emptying at a dizzying pace as well. Jon and I were talking about needing more money and we came up with the idea to be partners doing housework. He gets off work by 3pm monday thru friday and he has a car and a vacuum cleaner. I can buy the cleaning supplies and we'll clean houses together. We haven't decided on a fee yet but we'll post our ad on Craigslist. I worked one day only with a gal doing housecleaning and she banked $300 for us doing 2 homes. She gave me $60 and kept the rest. Jon and I will split our fee 50/50. I figure we can shoot for doing one house a day during the week and then set up a few appts. on the weekend. If we clean for 2 hours a piece, we should be doing pretty good. Now we just need to post an ad and pray for work. Jon and I hang out pretty much everyday. Last night we shot a few games of pool and had an awesome burger! This burger was huge! It had ham, bacon and an egg on it along with the usual lettuce, cheese and tomato...all for $5 (with a nice heap of fries. Mmmmm! Oh, I got offered free tickets to the comedy show this sunday. I can invite up to 16 people. I don't even know 16 people here, yet. My friend, Pau;a was released from the hospital today ~ YAH! Since her house burnt down to the ground, she'll be staying at her folks' place to recover. Hopefully she'll be put back at the top of the list for a lung transplant soon. Well, I guess I'll hit the sack. I was out late last night. Hope all is well with everyone out in the Stream. This computer is still booting me, most days I can't even get on. Once I'm making some money I'll buy a laptop. Y'all take 'r easy! Trixie

Wow, It's been awhile 'eh?! All is alright with me. I spent the weekend out at Merki's. It was so good to catch up with her. We had Tadd with us (Paula's son). Paula is supposed to be released from the hospital in a week. On sunday we went bowling and ended up staying at the bowling alley for 6 and 1/2 hours! My high score was 130. I had a blast though. We did that Disco bowling for a few hours. Other than that...it's been snowing here and I even went through 2 hail storms in one day. I definately need a winter coat. Oh, on friday I was surfing ads on Craigslist and I came across Jon's ad, he's wanting a LTR (long term relationship). Mind you, we had gone out 4 times last week. So I called him on it. After talking, we both decided that we weren't exactly going to be in a LTR, but we have fun together...so we've decided to just be friends. Which is cool with me. I like Jon. His voice sounds just like Vince Vaughn's. He even said he'd help me post another ad and picture on craigslist. What a guy. So, today I got a call from my brother's tribe. I've sent all the paperwork that they requested and I was hoping I'd find out the amount of my inheritance. Some lady was giving me the run-around and now she's talking about probate something? I'm lost. I think I'll call her supervisor some other time. I'm just not going to get my hopes up on getting anything, that way I won't be dissappointed. Well, that's about it, my exciting few days. Now I'm gonna catch up with everyone and pray this computer doesn't boot me. Y'all have a good one! Trixie
