Aww, Chrissi, sorry to hear about the interview. :-\ And then just cancel without any explanation. I know that they don't 'owe' you an explanation but still, it would be nice. I can understand that you get your hopes up. I hope it goes better next time. (((Chrissi)))
And Kerstin, that's such bad luck. You know what? It's probably because you weren't serenaded with 'Quizas, quizas, quizas' before the movie. ;) I hope she's feeling better now and that you'll get another chance to enjoy the movie together.
And I have exciting news! My horse arrived today! She's called Jutty and she was given to me by her owner who was looking for someone to take care of her and ride her a couple of times a week. She's old (22 years) but she's still in excellent condition. She's lovely and very calm. Just my type of horse! I hope we'll get along really well. She's at the stables right now, settling in. I hope I can ride her tomorrow. Pictures later.
See what BBM does? Turns you into a horse lover! :) :)

Wow, Fabienne, your own horse? Your daughters must be beside themselves with jealousy!
Maybe when I am visiting, we'll have to go to the Western shop and buy you a pair of cowboy boots! LOL. You know, I don't own a pair of cowboy boots. I was thinking I should buy a pair in Belgium but let's talk about bringing coals to Newcastle...going all the way to Europe to buy and bring home a pair of American made cowboy boots? Ai yi yi...
I might need to get blue ones, to match Ellery's...

Fabienne - so you decided to go for the horse! Those gloves you bought will come in handy - pictures please!!!

Thunder storm at the moment so I gues I should not be typing this, but you have to live a little sometimes.We also have a tornado watch as well so,fabby week on the weather front.
We have have had tropical stormwatch, followed by hurricane watch, and now tornado watch.Not to mention the 3feet of rain.Admittedly the ground was a little parched, but none of the roads and drains can cope with this much water at once.So there are sink holes opening up right left and center, someone mention, the sunshine state!!!!
Chrissi I am really sorry about the job.When the recession started to bite really bad here, I applied for a job as an optical assistant,which was school hours.
I arrogantly thought it would be a dead cert.I am a qualified Optometrist, but cannot practice here, without doing a years conversion course in Miami.I got turned down flat for the job, not even an interview.They said I was overqualified and did not think I would stay.Here was me thinking they would be over the moon, getting all the extra knowledge for an assistants pay.I was so gutted I even rang them to plead my case.Explaining I had run my own practice.Still turned down.It was a very humbling experience.
I did not even tell my husband about it for over a week, I was so down about it.So just popped off down to the jewellers and sold my watch and engagement ring.Which odly enough was not as humiliating as the job rejection.
Now at long last we seem to have bottomed out and stabilised but it has been such a rough year, we are a classic case of fur coat and no knickers.!!!
Jobwise console yourself by telling yourself,you were way too good for them and the loss is theirs not yours.That's what I keep doing.I

Awwww Chrissi. I'm so sorry.
