Day 102 of 365 Days of Being Thankful

        Today I am thankful that Olivia found another job.  The salon she was hired at kept cancelling her training.  I saw an ad on Indeed, a job site, and she applied.  They called her yesterday, set up an interview for today and they hired her at the interview.  They are closed on Sundays so she will always have that day off.  They said they would work around her schedule.  She is going to be the shampoo girl and mix the hair colors and do the laundry. It is an upscale salon so I hope the clients tip the shampoo girl. I think the owners own a few salons so possibly she can work in one of them when she graduates and gets her license.
 
She thinks we should buy her another car right now because she has a job and starts beauty school on April 23. That is not happening right now.  We want her to prove herself first! She went to the Beauty School to sign her new contract and they increased her scholarship by $500, she got a total of $1,000 scholarship.  Less than 10 people will be in her class and that sounds perfect to me! She seems really excited and I am so glad about that.  And I hope the job works out. 
        Renee called us and was close by so we met her at MOD Pizza for dinner.
Last week she was at our family doctor for a check-up after her South Africa trip.  He asked her when she was graduating PA school and she told him next month.  He told her that he was having lunch on Wed. with the President of the health system he works for and he would be glad to hand him Renee's resume.  That was so nice of him!  So Renee dropped off her resume to his office and then we met her for dinner. Mod Pizza is such a great place to eat.  It is like a Subway Shop but with pizza.  You get to choose from tons of toppings for each pizza, they make it as you select the toppings.
The first time I ever went to a MOD Pizza place was with my friend Deb.  I had never even heard of them before and now there is one right near us! I think it is time for another lunch with Deb.  I have been reading this book about a woman who opened a French Restaurant in CA, the title is Coming to my Senses.  She talks about selecting the best vegetables, adding the correct spices, etc.  I just think..........give me a pizza any day! I could eat pizza, chips, and candy,  morning, noon, and night! I would never have the patience to cook French Food. I don't think I have a refined enough palate for fancy cuisine.

                 MORE BAT NEWS!!   Yesterday another exterminator came.  The day before the exterminator from Terminix told me that he saw some guano, bat feces, in my attic and they could " fix " my problem for a year contract of $1400.  Today another exterminator came, he was in the attic a long time.  He said he didn't see any guano in my attic.  He didn't think the bats were hidden in the eaves like the Terminix guy thought because of the lack of guano! The second guy told me to find a handyman to close up an opening near my top roof siding and see if that works.  If not, he said they can come back and seal up the house for $795.  I think the Terminix guy just wanted me to sign a contract. The Terminix guy told me that I have mouse activity in my attic so Dan and I will buy traps tomorrow. The second guy told me that sometimes bats just fly around and fin...

Day 6 of Being Thankful

   Today I am thankful for my daughter Olya.  We adopted Olya from Ukraine in 2009.. Olya with her bio relatives Olya with a friend at her home in Ukraine  She was ten and a half years old when we adopted her.  My friend Maggie had found her for me in Ukraine,  She knew I wanted to adopt another girl in the 10-11 year old age range. Olivia was driving me crazy, she always wanted to be doing something. She really wanted a sibling!  I told Dan that we needed to adopt another girl close to Olivia's age so she would have a sibling to grow up with. Dan was fine with it, I think he was excited to go back to Ukraine!   Maggie works for Frontier Horizons, a hosting organization that brings orphans to the U.S. and other countries for a cultural experience. Maggie visits orphanages and selects children for hosting. They try to select children who are available for adoption but that isn't always the case.   It really is a pre-adoption...

         Today I am thankful that I packed three Hefty trash bags for Goodwill.  I have too much of everything!  I 'm anal about my house being clean, neat, and organized. I can't stand clutter.  I am determined to clean out all of my closets! I wonder why any of us keep clothes that we don't wear! I think I had some shirts and pants over 10 years but they are gone now! I have to stay out of the stores so I stop buying crap I don't need.           Olivia and Frankie went to Hershey Park today with another couple Jen and Corey. I am thankful that they have nice friends! Jen and Corey are always up to do fun things! I really like Jen and Corey.  Olivia and Frankie met this couple at a party of one of Olivia's friends and they just clicked! They all play some game called Pokemon Go.  They go to different places and capture Pokemons!  It is an online game that tells them where to go to find the Pokemons....
