Beluga Caviar and Cucumber Sandwiches For Lunch, Too!

Is it any wonder I thrive on drama?

JESUS F.- My life is BORING.

The only light in my life right now is that July 5th is just around the corner. The guilty summer pleasure that is Big Brother premieres that evening.

So, what is new in CiciLand?

Well, we opened the castle with smashing success. Slowly but surely, it will catch on more.

I have a job interview on Thursday morning! More like a 'let us make sure you don't have three breasts' meeting. I was all but offered the job already- so assuming I like the locale and the firm, I just may be on someones payroll again.

It's been a long time since I worked outside of my house. Do they still use carbon paper to make copies in offices? What about the smoking room in the office? Is RAVE hairspray still the spray of choice? And can I bring my OWN cassette tapes to listen to at my desk? And, is it still PC to call the janitor 'the colored man that mops?' can we even CALL him a janitor anymore? Probably not- he's likely the ground covering sanitation engineer. (In case you were wondering- NO- I am NOT working for the NAACP.)

I DID tell the VP that I could not start until the last week of August, since Lauren will start Kindergarten and Anthony will be able to start attending the DisgustinglyExpenseAndSnottyButIFYourChildAttendsHereHeISGuaranteedAdmissionToHarvard Day school. The last Monday in August is the first day he can attend, as is it will take the rest of the summer for us to legally change his name to Preston J. Cummings the third.

In all seriousness, the school IS disgustingly expense. A little North of $1350 a month- but every teacher is accredited and has either a B.A or M.A in Early Childhood education. I am willing to pay a premium to know that little Preston will be attending such a fine establishment. My other choices were the local KinderCare and Kids 'R Kids- where all of the teachers are guaranteed to be crime free for the last two years, and have completed high school, or at the VERY least passed the state equivalency program. No thanks.

So, keep your crossables crossed for me. It will sure be nice to have a reason to brush my hair every single day. And, the paycheck will be nice- and consistent, something I couldn't count on working from home.

I told Joey I want my housekeeper to come WEEKLY once I start, and to start packing, because with this new paycheck, we are moving to a bigger house for her to clean.

Have a great Tuesday!
