It's cold, rainy, and downright dreary today, so I decided to spend some time focusing on happy things. Like weekends... and friends... and holidays... and interviews... :-)

Friday night my sister and I spent some quality time together. It's really nice having her 15 minutes away instead of 4 hours away. We went out to dinner, talked about/listened to all her college drama (I'm sure you remember your freshman year of college), and then she spent the night at my house.

Scout got fixed this weekend, so it was very quiet without him Friday night/Saturday morning, but when B and I picked him up at the vet you'd never know he'd had surgery if you didn't notice the stitches. He's been a little calmer, but still full of energy, happy to see EVERYONE, and thankfully is recovering quite well.

Saturday was spent watching football, going out to dinner with friends, then more football. Sunday B and I went to church for a memorial for his late grandfather, out to lunch with his whole family, and then we had an exciting afternoon of cleaning and decorating for Christmas! It's kind of fun to have your own home to decorate. In fact, I'm going over to my mother in law's house sometime this week to go through her unused decorations to see if there are any I want to inherit. B's going to be doing a lot of hunting this week, so it'll be nice to have a project :-).

And interviews... I had one today during my lunch break. (AHH!) It's not the job for me, and I probably knew that deep down before I even walked in, but it was good practice for potential future ones. The crazy thing is that I should know tomorrow if I qualify or not and was told I could start as early as Dec 1... meaning in theory I could come in on Wednesday, resign and never have to look back. There are a lot of perks to the position, but I want to make sure that whatever job I accept next is one that I accept because I WANT to... not because I need one/its the first offered etc. And while I have no doubt that I COULD do this job and do it well, I've spent quite a while being miserable at my current job, so I don't see the point in changing positions to continue the same trend. Other opportunities are in the works, but its too soon to know how they will pan out. In the meantime I'm just doing my best to stay motivated to do my best where I am (while daydreaming about the day I get to say "thank you for this opportunity, however....").

As for my trip last week... I survived. AND I made it through Chapter 3 of the new Nicholas Sparks' book... so far so good!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!
