Work stuff and holiday stuff
Zen said he thinks his interview went well yesterday. The place is hiring for two positions, so hopefully this will work out for him. I know he'll be great once he finds a place, it's just the waiting that makes it hard. They didn't tell him when they plan on making their decision, but hopefully it's soon. Edited to add He just called to tell ( Read more... ) -
a couple funny things
First a funny in a small world kind of way - I went to vote this morning, and the election judge who was looking up my name said she recognized my last name, that she thought her son used to have a friend at school with that last name. Turns out her son was friends with my brothers when they were in grade school (once I told her my brothers' names ( Read more... ) -

a couple of food-related questions
When you are hosting a party, assuming that you are providing all or most of the food, do you tend to go overboard and have more food than you need, or do you try to get as close as you can to the exact amount of food you need ( Read more... ) -
Zen is awesome
Today is the 3rd anniversary of my first date with Zen. Yesterday was a great example of why he's such an amazing partner. After my dr appointment, I took my niece to the zoo for a few hours, and came home tired, hungry and sneezy (I assume it was allergies, I feel fine today but yesterday I was sneezing all day long, even before we went to the ( Read more... ) -
Introduction to new friends (and maybe to some older ones too)
I don't think I ever really wrote an introductory post, so here's some info about me :) I'll put it behind a cut because it will probably get a little long. Also I apologize if you commented on my post in the initial friending frenzy, but when I attempted to respond it wanted me to prove that I was human, but the captcha thing wouldn't come up ( Read more... ) -
this happened yesterday but it's pretty typical for me
Some background: I go to water aerobics every tuesday and thursday at 8pm. I've been doing for probably 8 or 9 years and I don't skip very often. The gym is pretty close to my house and I typically go wearing my suit under a dress so all I have to do is strip out of the dress and take a quick shower before I get in to the pool, so I should leave ( Read more... ) -
he passed! he passed!
Zen took his exam this morning and he just texted me that he passed! Now he is *officially* a Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor. This means that after all of the schooling and internships and whatnot that he's been through, now he can *finally* work in his chosen field. I'm so excited and so proud of him. This has been a long time coming. ( Read more... ) -
Dinner and the TARDIS DOOR!!!
I had a really good conversation last night with my former boss about the potential at her workplace. She was very open and honest about her team, how things are going, personality issues that she's dealing with, and the fact that she wants me to *really* think about the commute because I'd have to go to that office at least 3 days/week. The ( Read more... ) -
Weekend fun
I took off Thursday and Friday to enjoy a long weekend, and spent some time with my niece, who is still struggling with jealousy about her baby brother. We had a fun Thursday visiting with her friend (and her friend's mommy, who is my friend :)) and going to the waterpark. Trying to get all of our schedules in alignment to hang out is pretty ( Read more... )
