Hunt

So I've chucked myself into the job market after 6 months of me no worky.  

Oh, job hunting.

It's been about 5 days and I've had an interview already.  It was exciting getting called an hour after I'd put in my resume.  I immediately bought a new outfit and some snazzy heels to make me feel confident.  I don't know why walking with a wiggle in my hips makes me feel strong but it does.  But the job turned out to not be enough for me right now.  Maybe five years ago I'd have taken it but now I have a little better understanding of what's important to me.  

It did depress me a little, though.  That's bothering me.  I need to not let this job hunt hurt my attitude or my routine.  I just need to stay positive and something will turn up that I will be happy with.  Right?

Sweet Surrender

Birthday Dinner #1 at Moo Creamery.  Had the roasted asparagus sandwich.  I love asparagus so it was right up my alley.  Jim had a huge juicy spicy burger that I don't remember the name of but it looked fantastic.  Also had some of the best onion rings I've ever tasted.  Jim got me a Matterhorn Chocolate Cake from Sweet Surrender with the words "Hold Me Now" on it.  That's our song.  So thoughtful and decadent.

Pro Tripod (thanks Mom and Dad)

Mom and Dad got me this sick professional tripod.  It wasn't on my list so it was a real surprise, but then I remembered how often I thought to myself, "I really need a tripod."  

Pro Ball Head for said tripod

Then Mom just handed me this onion and said it was a Vidalia.  She gets random produce from her work at Grimway Farms.  It was such cute mom thing.  I love it when she does things like this.

So Yummy

We ate some before I could take a picture so the "Now" in  "Hold Me Now"

Holy Moly, this is rich.

DMV Makeover

I'm turning 29 tomorrow.  Today was the DMV and getting my driver's license renewed.  New picture in 13 years.  I kinda freaked out about it and went to Sephora to get my makeup done by someone that knows what they're doing.  She was nice.  She liked NPR.  Jimmy wanted to take some pictures of me.

Hello....

I'm so old.

I got all made up for this picture, went to the DMV, took the picture within 15 minutes of getting there and was told that it would be mailed to me.  I didn't even get to make sure the picture was good!

I liked my eyes.  Yes, I bought some product.

I feel good about turning 29.  I feel like it's going to be a great year.  I'm infinitely upbeat.

Rocking

I just fixed our toilet.  It's been rocking back and forth for a while and two days ago it started leaking from beneath.  So what's a good DIY'er to do?  Look on Youtube and find out how to replace a wax ring on a toilet. I did it in an hour, including the trip to The Home Depot.

It was pretty gross, though.  That's why plumbers get paid so much.
