Trio .... grande : )

Circle of life

Ok, (breathing in, breathing out), it's my day

All my dreams on hold

Second round

First part of the heavy week's done, got lots of homework to do before next week.
It was tough, unpleasant.

And tomorrow, finally, I get my second interview. I feel like a ball in my stomach, no stress for it, but wondering what will happen next.

I gotta get into the spirit now : I'll paint my nails. Perfect hands, I can do that ...  ;-)

Quicksand

I walk, one step, then another.

The ground isn't as hard as I thought, I'm about to lose my balance sometimes, even fall.
It was scary the first times.
you just don't know how often you will fall. Then you learn how to. Just like when skiing : )

I'm learning to love quicksands, because I think life is truly this way. Don't take anything for granted, anything.

I'm about to start a heavy week. Tomorrow, trying to defend myself for a job and later my case with my lawyer.

I am back to cigarettes for real, well 1, 2 a day. Bad enough. But however bad it is, right now stopping is not my priority.

;-)

The Job, part 2

I've spent one hour today working on my second job interview for the company I saw last week.

The first interview went well it seems. On Friday I got a call for second interview tomorrow morning at 10.00am, this time with the HR manager. 
I was so proud.
Funny when you've stopped working in a formal biz environment for 10 years... you get back into it, but you're everything but formal. You answer typical questions, but just can't answer in a typical way. Even if I imagine the expected answers, I have to go straight to the point : 

"Why do you want this job?" 
"because it is a very interesting position that will allow me to develop my career"
"because (and then I give my most pretty smile) I need to feed my kids"

It would take me 30 minutes to go there, very well located in Paris centre.
I wonder, god I wonder how I'll make it... alone, full time job, the kids, my painting biz, and myself. No holidays for a year.

I need Superman to take care of me sometimes. I should be an emergency for him! : )
Please Superman, come here and take care of me for a couple of hours only. 

It's stressing, but exciting. I'm going to be a super modern girl. Capable to do everything, alone.
And one day, one day trust me, my paintings will be enough. I'll be a successful artist. I wouldn't type it if I wouldn't believe it. Forced to make it happen now : )

edit: both appointments, the job and lawyer have been postponed ! boooo

the Job

Tomorrow, job interview, at 2.00pm, 9th arrondissement, for %%o%ù (fainting with feet pleasure)

Wish me luck!

edit : the interview went pretty well yesterday, so I gotta wait and see if I'll be part of the 3 last ones to get a second job interview : ) ... If it does not work, then... great training for the next one!

The wall

That's pretty cool. I got the confirmation my paintings will be exposed on big walls, for two months, September and October. Not in a gallery no, just a big shop near selling art equipment.
But they'll also make advertisement for me on their site, and that is pretty cool.

You get much more visitors there than in any gallery :P

Eat me

Finally I could make a photo of my last Alice's painting!

It's so flashy that even in the dark you can see it! :P

I really like it actually! For full details,

Meat

I've watched the Grey the other day.
Why did I like it? Expected script: a plane crashes in the middle of a beautiful nowhere (Alaska). Troubles.

Maybe it's Liam Neeson, probably. Wonderful actor. But there was more. The way it was filmed, I dunno, unusual, fitting the topic.
I also watched it the way I listened to fairy tales as a kid. And there were big wolves involved, and I was scared. Pleasure.




Of course we are the wolves of many species. Wolves with consciousness, wolves with a pretended knowledge about good and evil. That does not change anything. A cow's a cow, and very good in a plate.

I've had my best tartar ever on Saturday. For 5.20€. A Thai tartar. Exquisite!

Addiction

No sport in two days and I feel kinda down. I know, oh god i knowwwww it comes directly from lack of it, that's pretty scary.
I'll spend the week training by myself this time... hard to add sport to super busy days!

Wish I was there

Rammstein's performing at Bercy right now. I bought my ticket 8 months ago.
Had to sell it yesterday to a young boy wanting to see their .... fireworks performance. Waaaaaaa



The show is being officially filmed. That's a very very tiny compensation for my broken heart : )




 They have some effect on me, you wouldn't imagine!
