Self Fulfilling Prophecy??

So I have an interview today ...nothing exciting, just a receptionist/customer service job at a furniture store. I haven't really put much thought into it until today. Things have been crazy, which I thought was good cuz it meant I wouldn't stress about it. But the whole morning I have spent putting myself down for absolutely NO reason whatsoever!! Why do I do this to myself? There is nothing to imply that I won't get this job, and yet I sit here as I do my hair and makeup and make up excuses for why I won't get it! Why do I do this to myself?!?! I only end up setting myself up by doing this!! I know I am quite capable of getting this job, I HAVE the experience, and yet I still put myself down! Am I just setting myself up for failure in the end?

My god, I'm my own worst enemy!!!

Rainy day Fever ...

Rainy days suck in an apartment! It's raining hardcore here today and I love the rain, but living in an apartment totally puts a damper on the day! (no pun intended!) Sitting on the balcony is fine ... except that I look right into the building across the parking lot. And there's only SO much fat person I can watch in one day. Lying in bed reading worked out for all of 10mins. Sometimes I love this place and sometimes I hate it! I want to curl up beside a window and watch the rain, and read, and feel the breeze and enjoy the day.

I'm going shopping.
