 &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Merlin has on more than one occasion advocating the make your fingers do the clickey – clackey other than that nothing else happens.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So I am trying to do same.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I also am breaking down and getting the iphone 4s.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Yes…I am becoming that lemming.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Just more than a little bummed that I am only able to get in on the 2 gig data plan.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I wonder how much data that siri lady actually uses.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I am feeling MORE THAN A LITTLE IMPOSED with the new department that I am going into.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;What I am really trying to get stuck in my head is that I was recruited.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;It's not that I do not feel that I am capable…more that I am looking at it as someone saw my skill set and thinks that they can do something with it.&lt;span style&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;So…while I feel that I am a little out of my element I have to keep reminding myself that someone wants me there and that my interview was about 3 ½ minutes.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Peace out and more writing soon &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29378885-7932268669854450123?l=findabalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findabalance.blogspot.com/feeds/7932268669854450123/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29378885&amp;postID=7932268669854450123' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29378885/posts/default/7932268669854450123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29378885/posts/default/7932268669854450123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findabalance.blogspot.com/2011/12/thanks-hotdogsladies-and-mightymur.html' title='Thanks @hotdogsladies and @mightymur'/><author><name>find a balance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04656944243650453673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378885.post-6825618059040178024</id><published>2011-12-03T15:53:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-03T15:53:48.706-08:00</updated><title type='text'>1st kid free day in a while</title><content type='html'>Wow......all in all felt good and fairly productive.

I am still a big proponent of the fake it till you make it plan. I know that it will come to a head at a certain point when my confidence level out paces my skill set.  It just has not happened yet. &lt;p&gt;Oh yeah, did I mention that I damn near cried when I pulled into the 7-11 to get a soda on the way home last week.

They also are a solid part of life. &lt;p&gt;Today I am taking a giant leap into a huge transition.  I am getting back into the workforce after a almost twenty month hiatus. Admitted the last few months also were not really work. &lt;p&gt;Side note if you want a really cool website to waste time with use &lt;a href="http://wolframalpha.com"&gt;wolframalpha.com&lt;/a&gt;. It will tell you how long it has been since a specific date. &lt;p&gt;In that time thunder has really come into his own.  Today I am really helping him make a new transition of his own. He&amp;#39;s been home with me since May 2009 and today, or by the time this posts, will be either a blubbering mess or on his way to being one of the most awesome kick butt almost 3 year olds in the world. &lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;ll know more and have more as the day goes on.

Also that I have a interview with a company that would be great to work for but I do not think that I could anywhere come close to my obligations with what I believe they would offer. &lt;p&gt;So I am planning on asking for a better spot and put the onus of rejection on them. It sounds awesome in my head at least. It also may lead to good things for me and my family. &lt;p&gt;I also know and have rationalized in my head that it&amp;#39;s almost super duper crunch time. And that I really have to get grinding to get stuff accomplished. Trying to talk up some of the little skills that I have as well as work to beat some others into shape. &lt;p&gt;Hoping that it still works out for the best. I know what the worst looks like. Not in that zip code or county but .....

Thunder got a good class yesterday,  lightning was back in the saddle yesterday. &lt;br&gt;Got to work it out this am and Thunder is congregating well with age appropriate peers. &lt;br&gt;Need to get costumes taken care of today, should not be a problem at all. &lt;p&gt;Also trying to check out the cub scouts tonight.

Fortunately it&amp;#39;s there. Unfortunately it&amp;#39;s one of those when you mess up on a air check and call it out as Marcel Marceu&amp;#39;s new album. &lt;p&gt;I feel like it&amp;#39;s one of those you can only do once. So I am hoping for good things. Also just from random observation I really do not move well enough to be in a Zumba class. Combat blast - totally there. &lt;p&gt;If god things do happen then there is a whole new world to deal with. Which I must say I am more than a lot nervous about. It is one of those I knew would happen things but..........&lt;br&gt;Anywho that is literally the cart ahead of the horse. &lt;p&gt;So still plugging and chugging here with a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. At least I am letting the magic of compound interest work for me instead of against me. &lt;p&gt;And oh yes if you have read this far be forewarned that tomorrow is domestic bushido day. With all credit due to the mighty Mur for that tag. Also sunday may bring the return of the much desired Sunday brunch. We shall see.....&lt;p&gt;Thanks for Listening universe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/29378885-5755348523196932372?l=findabalance.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://findabalance.blogspot.com/feeds/5755348523196932372/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=29378885&amp;postID=5755348523196932372' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29378885/posts/default/5755348523196932372'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/29378885/posts/default/5755348523196932372'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://findabalance.blogspot.com/2010/10/well-that-happened.html' title='Well that happened'/><author><name>find a balance</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04656944243650453673</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378885.post-1445035644292705137</id><published>2010-10-05T17:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-05T19:35:06.698-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ok, rainy weather is #nofun</title><content type='html'>Seriously how many new drivers are out there?
