waiting game

there are a few things i really don't understand about blogging. like why people post their weekly menus. do you really think what you eat each day of the week is fascinating to those of us who read your blog? no. it's just weird. that brings up another thing that baffles me. i have no idea why people are so interested in reading about our so-called newlywed game that is garveywedding.blogspot.com. needless to say, i am happy that i have readers. it would be pretty funny to keep writing for myself. god knows kevin doesn't check this blog. ever.

now that my spiel is over, lets think of what is interesting in my life lately...nothing, really. we continue to jump on the hampster wheel of life, working everyday and going through the motions. we just recently learned that for my birthday weekend, we are blessed with a trip to vegas from my new in-laws. i'm so excited, i could just burst. it is so much fun visiting kevin's family. i can't say i'm not looking forward to the sun and warmth either :) not only do we get to go in 2 weeks, but also for thanksgiving. talk about a lucky couple!

interviews are not fun. not at all. i recently applied for a promotional position with the OLCC. i made it through the first interview last friday. barely. i left the room feeling like i rambled the interview panels faces off. then, once i was done sweating bullets, i was shocked to realize that i was asked to do a second interview today. i had the weekend to prepare. so basically, i thought through answers to typical interview question day and night. i stopped to actually focus with pen and paper on sunday evening. this morning i had a million butterflies in my stomach just clawing to get out. once the interview started, i felt a lot more comfortable. it was only in front of 2 people, rather than the 4-person panel during the first go-round. thank god. it basically consisted of 5 common questions--how well do you deal with change? what is your ideal work environment? why do you want this position? do you have any other reason why we should hire you for this position? and one other question that i can't remember. i'm too focused on watching Cake Off on TLC. anyway, after the interview was over, i felt like i could breathe again. no matter how it all turns out, i am so happy its over. i did my best. it was a great experience. now it's just a waiting game.

still married. still in love. still happy.
still just living the dream :P
