Today, on Halloween, I experienced a first. Although I’ve voted in every Presidential election (and some of the state ones in between) since I turned 18, I have never physically gone and voted. Today I waited in line for approximately an hour to vote early. I can’t wait until next Tuesday so see who our [...]
Beautiful fall.
Today I put Round 3 of interviews to bed and I’m feverishly hoping that soon I’ll have good news to share. Until then I’ll leave you with (of course) more knitting and some lovely pictures of fall.

And here comes round 3.
The big news of this weekend (well Thursday and Friday) is that I have now progressed to Round 3 of job interviewing. That means that on Thursday of this coming week I will be meeting with a whole new set of potential colleagues and bosses, including the president and CEO of the company. Let’s hope [...]

And the world keeps turning.
Not much to report on the job front lately. I’m in between temp gigs at the moment and enjoying a little home time to catch up on knitting (LOTS and LOTS of commissions) and get myself together. I did have a promising interview this week and round two is set for next week, so wish [...]

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have [...]
When it Rains it Pours.**
I don’t seem to be having much luck on the job hunt lately. I had a position that I interviewed for twice, and thought I was going to get, but as it turns out they decided I was overqualified, so they went with the less qualified candidate. I’m still with the temp service and given [...]

One of Wes’ hobbies is brewing mead. For those not in the know, mead is honey wine. It starts as warm water and honey and with the addition of yeast, and sometimes flavorings, as well as 3-6 months fermentation or more, it turns into a wonderful wine.
Today was a work day around the house, and [...]
