rockin' it

yup. i really rocked it today.

first, i rocked the 2nd interview. of course, it didn't hurt to learn that my interviewer is mormon..along with several staff members. ah, the irony. even more ironic that this job has been screaming at me since the first time i saw the posting. can't really explain it, but this was the job i vocally expressed to family that i hoped would call. i don't know why. for all my attempts, i can't actually explain it, except to say that some things are simply meant to be, and sometimes i have an inkling of when/how that is.

aside from the randomly strange mormon connection (i mean it's not like i'm in utah!), i learned more about the company and the job, and it still feels like a very good fit. they are planning on making a decision next week, which hopefully will make a very happy thanksgiving--particularly since i will be solo on the big family day. mick, jenny and crew have departed hence to ut and id and the house is shockingly quiet. i'll admit that to a certain extent, silence is golden, but, i think that is scheduled to wear off tomorrow, when i start losing it because it's too quiet. so, here's hoping for that happy thanksgiving, with happy job news:)

after rocking the interview, i rocked the kitchen. my living circumstances over the past few years have resulted in minimal domesticity. i love to cook, but rarely do it, because i hate interfering in other people's space. but with the fam out of town, i had a little bit of freedom (which is not to say that anyone imposes restrictions on me but myself), so i had some fun with some leftover ingredients in the fridge. the result? bbq chicken pizza.

granted, i didn't make the crust from scratch, but i bbq'd the chicken, carmelized the onions, chopped the cilantro, etc. seriously, you're getting hungry just reading this, right? it was a terrific challenge not to inhale the ingredients before they all made it onto the pizza, but that first hot bite fresh out of the oven made all that restraint worth it. yum. i should have taken a picture, but that would have taken too long.

i was supposed to head to brandon and michelle's tonight, but brandon is going to be staying in the hospital through sunday while he has some more tests run. i may head up there tomorrow for some comic relief (as in, brandon can entertain me from his hospital bed), in the meantime, here's to rockin' it, because i so totally did.

by the way, why has everyone been soooo quiet lately? i continue to require your acknowledgment for the validation of my ego:) thanks in advance;)
