Cindy's Art Studio

November already…time is really flying by. Time goes faster as you get older. I remember people saying that when I was young, but I never knew how it would feel. You look in the mirror and notice more wrinkles every day and everything else going south (not to mention all the aches and pains and things not working like they used to)…but no one ever told you that you still feel the same mentally as when your skin was smooth and tanned and there was no cellulite to be seen. When I was a kid it seemed to take forever just to get to the end of the week so I could watch Saturday morning cartoons. Now there are cartoons on at any given time of day. I still surf past the cartoon network once in a while just to watch Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry. I loved watching The Jetsons too…now I want to pull out one of those Jane Jetson masks for my face when I Skype LOL. Ah, we’re living in the future…better than living in the past I guess…

Thanksgiving is coming up in a couple weeks, and after that another birthday. I’m not sure what’s going on for Thanksgiving yet, we might have turkey, or not. As for my birthday, nothing planned at all (don’t ask me how old I’ll be, I stopped counting a long time ago lol). We’ll probably try to get the kids and grandkids together again for Christmas though. It’s always more fun when kids are around for Christmas. Anyway, for Thanksgiving it’s always nice to think about what you’re thankful for…this year I’m thankful that for the first time in 13 years I won’t have to be out in the madness on black friday. Believe me, I won’t miss the zoo animals crashing the gates (stupid people…). Anyone who has worked retail can relate I’m sure. Even before that though, I never did understand getting up at 2am just to run through the stores fighting to spend money (oh and standing in line for 2 hours to do it)…just to come back in a couple days to return stuff. Oh well…more important than all that is that I’m thankful for my grandkids! I waited SO LONG for grandkids and now I have 3…if I could I would see all of them every day, but unfortunately that’s not the way it works so I see them when I can (and I thoroughly enjoy every minute when I do see them!).

Anyway, I’m still unemployed and looking for work. Still need something where I can sit doing the job, which means office work. I haven’t done that for so long, but I’m sure I wouldn’t have a problem with it. I’ve applied for a lot of jobs…no interviews yet…only got a couple of calls, but those were from Omaha (I guess they got my resume from applications I filled out online). I don’t think it would be a very good thing to drive to Omaha every day to work, or even to rent a place there during the week and come home on weekends. So I keep looking and hoping something will come up soon.

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. We had about 70 trick-or-treaters this year (about 20 more than usual)…that might be because I didn’t put the dead army guy and the grim reaper out on the porch this year and didn’t have the scary music cd playing. That probably scared the really little kids away. I didn’t dress up this year either. Usually I dress up as an indian girl with the black yarn wig and moccasin boots and so on. When I thought about it later, I should have just dressed up as a Husker Fan…anyone who knows me will get that one lol.

Well, I guess that’s all I have for today. If you would like to leave a comment, please do so. If not…I hope you at least had a good read. See ya, love ya, bye.
