Weekend Work

This weekend went by way too fast! The time change was a doozy for me today, but at least the weather was nice!

Hubby and I moved a bookshelf from upstairs into the living room downstairs. It looks perfect in the space left by the table we got rid of. Plus, it provides some storage space for movies, pictures and such.

Friday after work I was happy to have received two packages in the mail. First, was my new scentsy warmer and bars. Second, was my order from european cross stitch containing my beads for my chatelaine. Yay mail!!

Saturday night I babysat four girls, talk about exhausting. After sleeping in then enjoying a nice Sunday breakfast, hubby and I lounged around the house. I indulged in a Jersey Shore marathon and lots of stitching.

I've made a ton of progess on venetian over the last week. I'm very excited to be that much closer to finishing!

March!

Well, its almost spring. I don't know how I feel about it though. I am very tired lately, I don't know what it is. Maybe once the warmer weather arrives, I will not feel so out of sorts with myself. Maybe its the little bit of upheaval I've had lately with this darn job I've been interviewing for. Maybe its the fact that I have jury duty this week and my time is not my own. Maybe I just need to watch the movie "one day" (awful, btw) and get it all out in 90 minutes or less.

My second interview was this past Friday. I am really not sure how to feel about it. In the past, when I've thought I've done something really well, it was a real bomb. And the worst job interview that was, in my honest opinion, the worst job interview in the history of the world got me the job I have now. So, who knows. Now, I'm waiting for my rejection letter or another phone call. Yes, there is a THIRD interview.

Yesterday, I got to enjoy the company of strangers at jury duty. I didn't get picked for a trial and gladly took my $15 to chipotle for lunch. I spent the rest of the day in my pajamas and alternated between the loving arms of my couch and doing some clean up around the house. Heres hoping I don't have to go back again this week. Although, it really wasn't that bad. Its an interesting process and I did get free lunch.

We decided to get rid of a table we had by our front door. Dh was pretty set on donating it to goodwill, but being the one that would have to deal with taking it there, I didn't feel like it. So I stuck a "free" sign on it and told him to put it outside. He was convinced noone would stop.....I showed him. Within 20 minutes, a lady pulled up in a van and shoved that table in her car so fast it was like it was never there.

I've also been getting back into my stitching. Yay! I've been working on Venetian Opulence by Mirabilia.

Thanks

A big thanks to all of you that sent well wishes on my job interview. While awaiting a big fat rejection letter, I got a call back for a second interview!! I'm so excited!

Again, not much stitching going on. Over the weekend I did put a few stitches into the border of A Sweeter Love. The Nashville market was also this past weekend. Saturday, I am meeting up with the ladies at my lns to paw over all the new stitchy goodness.

I also caved and ordered a few things from 123stitch. The april cottage chart by ccn, barnwood buttons by rosewood manor, and winifred gardner.

What did you see at market that you MUST have?

What's Goin On?

Yea, I haven't been around much lately. I have lost my mojo after stitching two models for a designer. BTW, they are way cute.

I spent the holiday weekend cleaning up my house and reading lots of trashy romance novels. I am totally hooked on Monica McCarty and her highlander series!

Tuesday I had a job interview. Now, I have a good job, but its not very intellectually stimulating. And I'm not really planning on leaving it anytime soon, but when I saw this position pop up, I just decided to wing it and see what happens. I have to admit, its pretty much in my top three of dream jobs. Plus, the schedule is amazing. I just hope I'm not setting myself up too high for a fall by admitting to you that *I friggin really kinda want this dang job* and that's all I'm gonna say about that.

On another topic, I'm feeling very sad about the blogging world lately. If people aren't constantly complaining about the changing environment of blogger and facebook, they are making personal attacks on other bloggers/stitchers. Its very sad. Who cares if so and so didn't send you their RAK or you didn't win their giveaway?!

Get. A. Grip. Dude.

Winner!

No pics this week as I haven't done much stitching, BUT I was a winner!

I received an email earlier this week letting me know that I won a giveaway from Lizzie Kate! Yay!! Its the winter scissor fob kit that comes with tiny, cute scissors. Exciting stuff!

Also this week, I received some materials to stitch a model. No, I can't show you, but its good stuff!

Happy weekend!
