So it's Fall...

The seasons are changing, it was cold for the first time today.

Almost everyone I know is thrilled about this, I however have mixed feelings. Usually this is the time of year I get sick from the ragweed and stay that way until Thanksgiving. It's a lot of fun, let me tell ya.

The upside is Harper is about to turn two, and is getting so big and smart. She has started taking in sentences some and can count to four. I said i would never be one of those parents that had to tell everyone how smart their kid is...I lied.

The only problem we've had with her is her eating habits. She eats almost all fruits, vegetables and breads...but doesn't like meat. she will take a few bites of chicken or fish, and will eat bacon(everyone eats bacon right?). She just doesn't like the protein. I've been trying to get creative giving her peanut butter some and beans. She likes beans a lot. Which is great because she gets a ton of protein, but then again she's eating a ton of beans...

On a way less entertaining note i have put in over 200 job applications now... had six interviews and all I gotten is more people who don't return my e-mails.

I never online dated, but I imagine this process is sort of similar. You look through hundreds of profiles every day looking for something that is right for you, then you find something kind of intriguing so you contact them. You never hear from 80% of them, maybe the saw your profile-resume and they don't share your love of Kung-Foo movies or don't think a psychology minor will help you sell ad space.

Then someone does contact you back and you set up a date/ interview, they seem nice enough and your doing your best to be charming and funny and not come on too strong. Try to be appealing, but don't seem too needy and you try to see if they are right for you.

Then your at home thinking, hey that probably went okay....

And they never call again...

So you call them, and they went another direction. Or say they eliminated the position all together.

Your self esteem is soaring.

Or maybe like I did you find a scammer, who I interviewed with twice... I am so smart.
I imagine this is like finding out someone you went on a couple dates with is a registered sex offender. And then you feel even more stupid because you thought the scammer/sex offender was kind of cool....

Again self esteem is so high.
