I guess my last post was appropriate. The empty chair symbolizing the end of work at Amulet Manufacturing. I am now an unemployed American, following the path of the thousands of other Americans in this day and age. I got told this news on Friday afternoon.
Other than that devastating news, my weekend was very fun. Mom, Louie and I went to Frost/Nixon on Friday night. Definitely a recommendation! Two thumbs WAY up! I was actually surprised that I liked the political movie as much as I did.
Saturday morning, Ashley and her friend "Nida" came over. We played with music on the computers, opened up some scrapbooking supplies from Ashley, and headed to watch The Bride Wars. Movie was ok, funny. I really like Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway. Louie cooked some Meatloaf, potatoes, and green beans (the staple Dvoracek meal) and invited Mom and Dad over to enjoy the blow-out Gonzaga game.
Sunday...Happy Birthday to me! I awoke with several sounds from Louie...asking if I was awake yet. He couldn't wait any longer for me to open up his gift. A 32 Gig Ipod Touch! I am shocked! I made him wait to play with it until I found some screen protectors and a cover for it, which is a story in itself. We toured around all day to find the perfect cover for the new ipod. Alas, Circuit City, the store going out of business, had the perfect cover. I bought it. It is sad to report that the cover only fits the 2nd generation ipods, therefore, it doesn't fit mine...and is not refundable. I was pretty dissapointed. Mom, Dad, Louie and I ate GREAT gorgonzola new york steaks, mashed potatoes, and asperagus for dinner. Present opening, of new luggage, socks, an emerald bracelet, as well as other misc. items were in order. A fierce game of Canasta was played, in which the last hand, I was stuck with three, red 3's in my second hand, which made it so Louie and my Dad won. Ah...what luck. Some homemade ICECREAM CAKE...made professionaly by ME...was eaten as dessert...and there concludes my birthday celebration!
Today...Well it is the, what seems like never-ending battle, of filing for unemployment, and searching for a new job.
