Oh, the Insanity :)
My husband really likes Jeeps...the older the better. We lost the first one to misfortune...and we just picked up another one last fall.
Now, most of you would think Jeep = Wrangler or Grand Cherokee...not my husband...his is a CJ7. That's Scrambler to those out there that don't know. God knows I didn't before I met my husband.
Anyway, these Jeeps are like collectible cards in the hands of little kids..."Ill trade you two of these for one of those" kinda thing.
When we had the other Jeep, we would come out of {insert random place like home, mall, restaraunt here} only to find that someone had left their name, number and the price they were willing to pay for this classic machine...
It hasn't happened in a while, and until today, not with this Jeep...that's changed now...some kind person actually printed (with a printer) a message and put it in one of those clear plastic slip covers...and then stuck it on the Jeep.
I think its cute... I wonder if these people realize how much they would really need to fork over to get him to sell...
I haven't heard of this kind of thing happening with any other vehicle model out there...must really be a Jeep Thing!
He's seriously thinking about opening a Jeep Museum...silly boy!
Oh well, I love him anyway...
Whee!
Wow! 2 posts in a month...maybe I'm getting back to the point of being able to post every day...
Things have been busy. The independent consulting has been going well, and I'm more relaxed than I have been in years.
I put in an application at Barnes & Noble, just for evening work for a while and for the security that comes with a steady paycheck...I just heard back from them today to set up an interview for this weekend...wish me luck!
I also had a call from a recruiter...offering me a possible position in DC paying that 6 figure salary...now all I need are the dancing men 
It might not pan out, but I think I'm going to be hopeful...now all I have to do is decide what to do about the B&N job.

LIfe goes on...
There is a saying "When one door closes, another opens". Seems to fit with my situation these days.
I had a new job, one that I thought was going fairly well, until they decided that we just weren't a good fit (me and the company). So, I'm on my own again employment-wise.
Thing is... I've gotten two different offers that fit with the independent consultant hat I've taken back up 
I've just gotten one proposal signed, and as for the other...I just need to show them that I can actually teach the classes. I would get to travel, meet new people, and do it on my schedule...which means that I can spend time at home with the hubby, and go back to school if I want.
Life is to short to spend 20 hours a day on the job...especially when it doesn't pay a 6 figure salary and come with dancing men!
I do wish the company well. As you can see from the calls coming in, I have no reason to be vindictive or nasty. At some point I might even consider doing contract work for them.
Well, its getting late, and I'm getting tired...so I think its off to bed with me.
'Nite!
