Rhett got the job. I can't stop crying with happy. Really. I look like a hot mess. But, the tears just keep rolling down my face because I'm just so very relieved. I can't believe this is over. Finally.

There will be health insurance immediately. There's a bonus program. There are 20 days off per ( Read more... )

I've been very... inside my head, lately. So many thoughts and feelings and realizations. There's been no volition to blog about it. It's almost like I've wanted to keep my thoughts to myself because they're just too big to share for right now. I have so much in my head that I'm not sure I could ever adequately convey it all ( Read more... )

I'm so glad Monday is over. It was such a bad day, overall, on so many levels. Cripes. I hope not to have another day like it for a good, long time. I won't rehash all of it, but here are the highlights (or lowlights, as it were.)

- I spent a metric shit ton of time working on a client project over the last week or so. I learned how to do something ( Read more... )

We still haven't heard anything from Spirit. This isn't a huge surprise, but it's frustrating. Oh well. Patience is a virtue, right? I guess the Universe is giving me the opportunity to practice all that patience. So be it ( Read more... )

This is a reblog of a reblog of a reblog. I saw it on A Cup of Joe.

Warning: So sad. Heartbreaking, even. But inspiring beyond measure to have a marriage like this one. May each and every one of us know this kind of love at least once in our lifetime.

Things around here are still crazy. Lots of this and that. It seems like mostly busy work. Keeping people fed. Washing people's clothes. Taking the dog out to pee for the 100th time in a day. Oh well. Busy is good, right?

In the evenings, after all the kids go to bed, Rhett and I have started taking walks around the neighborhood with Charlie. Our ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to blog in a while. Too many things swirling in my head. Too many things to actually DO. Too much procrastination on so many levels. I would scold myself, but that would be unkind. So, I won't. I'll just get over it, and get down to business ( Read more... )

The good:

- X-post from FB:  iowalaw  sent me a package that arrived today. It had a blanket that I left at her house when she so graciously let me stay there during ChiMoot. I was so happy to get it! It's not a fancy blanket, but I love it anyway. :) Plus, it had extras! There were five of the most perfect little notes tucked into the folds of the blanket ( Read more... )

Feeling random. Here we go!

- I made the most kick ass biscuits EVER last night. Seriously. These were downright amazing. And best of all, they were easy to make and CAN BE FROZEN before baking (kinda like those frozen biscuits in the store, but without the transfat and chemicals and such.) Freezing them makes it completely possible to have hot, ( Read more... )

Rhett had his interview on Friday afternoon. It went REALLY well. They loved his portfolio. He was able to build mad repore with the interviewers, all of whom he would be working with. Because my dad works at Spirit (completely different department, but he still has access to lots of info), we were able to find out that they are hiring TWO senior ( Read more... )
