A little tired.

So settling down into my new apartment, getting a daily routine going until I get a job. Had a job interview today, and I think it went pretty well. It was a group interview and there were 12 people in my group, so I only got asked two questions. "What would people is you're greatest weakness?" and "If you got a job hear, what would you least like to do?". For the first one, I said opinionated, because it's true, and at some jobs superiors have called me out on it, so I said that while I try to say things tactfully, I like to know what I can do to improve, and I try to help others out by doing the same. Second question I said "clean the chicken fryer" because while I'm not accident prone, somehow I have managed to burn myself on that more than get cut on cans or knives or other blades and sharp objects. (not that I haven't cut myself on blades, knives or cans, I've just burnt myself on a chicken fryer more. Usually when I'm cleaning it the oil splashes, and hot oil hurts!) One girl was asked if "you were a car, what kind and color would you be and why?" and she said a blue VW Beetle. When I asked her, she said she meant the new kind. Apparently the usually ask guys that question, but they decided to ask a girl. Wish they'd asked me. I'd have picked a sleek black '67 Impala, because they're classic and always ready to rock if you treat them right. Oh well.

So I think the interview went well. I'll find out Thursday or Friday and I'll definitely let all you guys know what happens. I'll probably text before I blog about it though. Thanks for all your prayers, and please keep them coming, I need all the help I can get!

After work I hung out around the apartment, got to Skype Ammon, which was fun while it lasted. Charlotte came in at the end of the conversation and said they'd been looking all over for Ammon and they needed to go. He was in his room the whole time. How hard were they looking? Texted back and forth with Rachel a little, which was nice, since we don't talk a whole lot normally.

Then I napped for a little bit after that, and some how had my hands under me, my palms on the back pockets of my pants, which have buttons to keep them shut (No idea why, I only bought them because I liked how they looked on me better than the other pair I tried on) and I woke up to this ache in my hands, from where the buttons had been pressing into my hands really hard. A few minutes after I woke up the doorbell rang which was weird, because one roommate is out of state, and the other was babysitting, and when I opened the door it was a fed ex guy (who liked my firefly shirt) with a box from ProFlowers!



My friend back home sent them to me as a house warming gift. It was a nice surprise. After the flowers came I went down to Down East Basics to exchange a shirt and I (being the bargain hunter and bored girl I am) hunted in the other racks for clothes. I ended up getting a slouchy knit jacket that I really like, and is really warm. It's dark red, yellow and blue and is missing a few buttons, but I can just use the ones that are there and move them around, or get new ones if I find a Joannes. It was 25% off, and really warm. Thank you everyone I texted for fashion advice. I tried on two others, but one looked like a bathrobe and after Jim Gaffigan's ideas about robes ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At97qw6H7_s ) it sorta ruined it for me. Super cute, but I couldn't wear it without thinking about this. The other one, I'm pretty sure was a dress, since it buttoned up all the way and didn't have a collar.

So here's my laptop camera shots of the jacket I got:



Terrible lighting, but if I get any pictures of me wearing it this fall, I'll put them up. I think it's cute and comfy, just need jeans and boots to pull off the winter look.



If I look flustered or like I'm blushing, keep in mind that wall mart is about two miles (so I was told) from my apartment and I biked there, then took the photos so some family back home can see them. I was HOT. And a little dizzy from lack of water (don't worry, I was already drinking water when I took these, I just didn't want to rush it and feel worse) and probably food (dinner is next on my itinerary.

So this is a long post, congrats if you read all the way to the bottom. If you sent me your address I'll mail you a prize!
