Can I get a woot woot!
Followed both the people who posted their Twitters. Feel free to follow me as well. :)https://twitter.com/TommyHancock
The author's copy of my book Royal Theft showed up today, which was five days earlier than expected. Also, got to work with some of my favorite coworkers today. :)
I'm at http://www.twitter.com/VictoriaZigler if you want to follow me, Rose. I'm not very active on there (apart from feeds from Goodreads and my blog, which come through automatically) but you can follow me if you like.
Thanks for the Twitter accounts! Will try to set that up tonight! I have been very busy the past couple days filling out job applications. I am going in for a test & possible interview today! Woot!!
https://twitter.com/cityeclecticsthis is my twitter. I added everyone that posted their links.
I've been meaning to post more but lazy.
Thanks everyone :) @Jenny I have applied at Hy-Vee & Fareway, Walmart, interviewed today at Fareway but they only were offering part-time. I also applied at Mary Greeley & McFarland as a receptionist. I am planning on taking a pharmacy tech book course I ordered. I previously worked 7 yrs for Hy-Vee so was going to try to get on as a cashier until I finish pharmacy tech course with hopes to move to the pharmacy. Perseverance! I can do this right!

Yes you can!! HyVee isn't a bad place to work, or so I've heard. I've also heard Fareway is good, but it really helps to know someone higher up to get in there. You can give me as a recommendation, by the way :) I do know Dave Patrick, he's a manager there.
Good luck, Rose, but I know you can do this! And remember to think outside the box, too when looking for jobs :) That's how I found my current one, and I love it!

Well, this isn't really a woot woot moment, but if I could get a few mental woot woot's of encouragement, it would be appreciated! I have a bio midterm tomorrow, so I could use the good vibes!!

Try not to stress over it too much and you'll do fine!
@Jenny thanks!! @Harlee and @Karen I made my Twitter account last night! I am following Jenny and Tommy & Victoria but can't find Karen and Harlee! Can you girls please find me? It is under Rose Fuentes, username mrs_rfuentes. @Jenny I worked as a cashier at Hy-Vee for 7 yrs in high school and college so I should be able to get on there :)

Rose, I thought I followed you, but you have it blocked for followers? I didn't even know there was an option for that. Hahhaaha.... I'm not a twitter expert at all.

@Harlee, @Karen, and @ Jenny I should be following all of you now! I just have an option under settings where my followers have to request to follow me as when I signed up weird people I didn't know started following me without my permission so I turned my security setting on :)
I am already only 2 books away from matching my Goodreads challenge goal of 30! Woot woot!Maybe I set the bar too low. :P

Awesome!
You going to up your goal?
Yes, we're following each other now :) I had my security stuff all said up when I first got on too haha

I might, I'm still undecided.
I was the complete opposite at the beginning of the year, I had my reading goal set wayyy too high so I lowered it to 50 haha
I already met my initial goal and almost doubled it. If I keep going the same way.. my initial goal will likely be tripled. :x
Woot, Kaylani!
Okay, my woot woot today is we finally named our cat!!

Apparantly Alison already named him "Mr. Whiskers" a month or so ago. She never told me this, and she's been calling him that. I am like, "There is no way I'm calling the cat Mr. Whiskers."
Tessa loved the name Tux, so finally Alison conceded that his name would be "Mr. Tuxedo Whiskers" , with Tuxedo being his middle name, and Tessa and I could call him Tux. What crazy kids! :P
Full the full story on the cat and the name, check out the furry friends thread!

Some oddities but nothing super scary which is good. Now to wait for the results of the stuff they took from them.
I always like hearing tumor free especially since I've already had cancer! :D"
Very good to hear! I'm related to a few survivors, so any victory against cancer makes me super happy.
