After what was a fabulous weekend, this week for me is all about waiting on two interviews I had last week. After a string of unsuccessful and disappointing interviews all summer, I got to interview with both of my dream companies on back-to-back days.
So this week, it's all about the waiting and never letting my phone out of my sight. But I've got faith one of these will pull through.
The worst part is I keep dreaming about it every night! Luckily, in the dreams I get the job (there is one I REALLY want), but now I'm worried about letting my subconscious down. Thanks for the pressure, mind. Thanks a lot.
So about this weekend! It was full of festive fun, and the weather finally felt like fall. (I like to speak in alliterations.)
Friday we went out to this delicious family-style restaurant to celebrate Tom's parents' 28-year anniversary, and spent the rest of the evening being completely stuffed and sleepy.
On Saturday, Tom and I drove out the farm to visit some family. My aunt owns a martini bar out there, and she was hosting a jazz dinner that night. So of course, we were extremely well-fed.
Yes, that is my mother. No, she does not look old enough to be my mother. When I was 15, someone thought we were sisters.
Tom and I like to coordinate. Because we are nerds. Note the striped shirts and leather jackets.
Sunday night, one of my friends was in town. So we had a Sunday night sleepover complete with beer, pizza, cupcakes, and staying up way, way too late. I was exhausted at work yesterday, but it was totally worth it!
She gave me a gift basked filled with bridal magazines, highlighters and sticky tabs, a book of wedding planning lists, a picture frame, ring pops and a mug that said "Soon to be Mrs. *Tom's last name here." Isn't that awesome?! Gift baskets are my favorite. I proudly carried my mug all around work yesterday.
And yesterday afternoon, I almost died putting up more Halloween decorations.
Just before leaving work, I had this sudden urge to decorate more. So after a trip to Michael's and the dollar store, I came home ready to decorate the front porch.
Except....
That is apparently where ALL the spiders live. In fact, (I hate spiders, so I'm going to freak out writing this...) there were egg sacs all over the place, and one of them was in the process of hatching. I kid you not, baby spiders were coming out of it. That was a little too genuine Halloween for comfort, so I figure I'd just spray the webs with a hose. Easy, right?
WRONG.
Those things are resilient! So I decided the spiders could keep the front porch, and I'd decorate indoors.
Also, how come talking or writing about spiders makes you feel like you have them crawling on you? I mean really.
Well, when I went to put the hose away on the porch, I wiped. OUT.
It was one of those things where you're standing, and it happens so fast that you have no clue why you're suddenly on the ground. So I have a couple nice battle wounds from getting in the holiday spirit. At least it paid off.
Happy Tuesday!
