Interview tomorrow

I have a job interview tomorrow at 3pm. I can't sleep. Scared shitless. Seriously. I went and couldn't. I felt like I was at Philliam's house, except I'm at my parent's house. I'm a complete nervous wreck. Luckily, I did some researching on women's interview attire. I got my black soft pinstripe pantsuit nicely cleaned. A white crisp shirt with a grey sweater to go over. My fabulous Sam Edelman black snakeskin shoes with black hosiery, of course. And for the sake of tomorrow's chilly weather, a heavy black trench coat. All from my closet. I didn't have a black purse (cuz I'm poor, yo) so I enlisted my mother for help. My goodness, the amount of handbags she has in 2 of her walk-in closets amazes me. Fabulous designers, department store brands, and fakes. Yet, she never uses them. Why? Cause she's weird (real reason? it's a long story for another day). We both finally settled on a black silver chained Ann Taylor tote bag for me to borrow. Also, if I score the job, my moma is giving me a HUGE black tote bag that has Chanel purse-like features, but it's not Chanel. It's perfect for the lightrail. YAY! I love how I do not need buy anything since I can always go to my mom and aunt to borrow items that I know I'll never use again. For example: Hoochie party dress - auntie's closet, purses/handbags - moma's closet, dark brown long hair extensions - auntie's house, fabulous MAC lipsticks in many shades of red - moma's bathroom, costume jewelry - auntie's jewelry box, etc etc. There is no need for me to ever buy anything if I'm heading out to a cocktail party. Woo hoo! Anyway, in order to keep everything simple for tomorrow, I organized the tote bag. My wallet is in there, makeup bag (in case a pimple decides that today is the day it'll shine), cell phone, CRKT pocket knife (cut me some slack, I work in downtown and the interview is also in downtown), black cloth bag in case I decide to go grocery shopping afterward (I hate using plastic bags), a snack in my reusable baggie, gum, a copy of my resume, writing sample, notebook, and a pen. All of the things that I normally carry to work will be left at the office. It wouldn't look good if I walked in with my 32oz Hello Kitty water bottle and all of my empty Tupperware from my packed lunch, right? I'm going to study the company's website again before I go to bed. Nervous wreck. O_O
