Movin On Up
Written by Erica. Filed Under Work, life, relationships
I’m really happy to be able to write this today. This has been a great week for myself and D, and also for Five Blondes.com! This afternoon I got a call from D’s boos - which immediately had me worried because I figured the only reason his boss might have to call me is if something BAD had happened. My heart was in my throat. He spends a good amount of the day driving from call to call, so I thought that he had been in an accident. Then, his boss went on to say “I’m here with D…” and asked my what I would think if the company were to offer him a full-time, permanent position!
I just about jumped up and down yelling “Yes! I would love that!” D has been working for this major company (he doesn’t want me to blog about his personal details and I respect that) on contract as a technician for over 1.5 years. He truly is one of the best technicians they have on staff - numbers don’t lie! In fact, he is one of the best techs in Canada. His boss loves him and told me that they are making an exception for him. He’s exceptional 
What does this mean for us? Aside from job security for D, he’ll be getting a company van in a few weeks and will no longer have to worry about mileage on our personal car or moving parts in and out of the car every weekend. We’ll get benefits, which will help pay for my prescriptions. We are now in a much better position to buy a house (!!) and start a family (!!) - the wedding is 367 days away!
On the blog-front, the great Google gods bestowed a pagerank of 4 upon FiveBlondes.com yesterday. I couldn’t believe it! Mom’s website, Couturesmith, is PR3.
Finally, I want to know if you’re on Twitter. I am! At first I decided to keep it separate from my blogging activities, but I’ve had a change of heart. You can find me @ericablonde. I’m having a lot of fun getting to know some of my favorite bloggers even better and keeping up with the latest news on the social media / SEO / intrawebz front. I’m the kind of person who likes to be standing in the middle of a crowded room listening to everything going on around me. Sometimes that’s what Twitter feels like to me.
Finally, I’m thinking of writing some book reviews. I’ve been reading a LOT lately and have discovered some fantastic authors that you MUST know about. I’m excited already!

YAY for Denis! Yay for you! Um what is pagerank? and what the heck does it mean?
Mommy’s last blog post..Happy Earth Day.
Pagerank means happy. It is basically a measure of your authority online and your compliance with Google’s mysterious rules.
