^_^ So thanks for letting me have my little melt down, I really needed it.

Anyway, the Beau and I went out to the Valley today and applied at Hobby Lobby. They are opening in a month or so, first store in Wa. So they need a lot of people to help with the initial set up. We both got hired on the spot. It's $8.50 an hour for now, when the store officially opens they are going to be letting A LOT of people go (they are hiring about 150 people and will only need about 40 once the store is open) but if we manage to impress them we are eligible to stay and get a pay raise.
The beau is going in for their framing department, and since he has to get specialty training he is almost guaranteed to say on full time at $11.50 so yey!

My mom is going to pay our rent this month for us, since we both have jobs but won't be starting till next week and won't get paid in time.

In other news the manager is super nice, she seems really awesome and no nonsense. She also said, while we were talking, that she absolutely will not tolerate customers yelling at her employees. ^_^ so it sounds like she has a SPINE which means I will love her to pieces.

I am starting out manning the Art/Hobby department and I am really freaking thrilled right now.... still stressing about other things... but at least I managed to take a walk tonight with out breaking down and crying!

^_^ yey!

:D That is great news.
The Hobby Lobby here is huge. I mean, old Walmart (not the Super Store version), huge. They have a lot of neat stuff. I like to look at their trains and science kits. They also have a good amount of quilling supplies including already cut paper. Good considering the other craft stores don't have anything past the tool that holds the paper while you twist it around itself.

HOBBY LOBBY! You got one of my dream jobs (you have no idea how many times I've applied for the HL up in ABQ and down in Corpus Christi. They're probably sick of seeing my application).

Actually, I don't think I could work there. I'd never bring home a paycheck! :D

Same with book and hardware stores.
