i'm back

okay so i went MIA for a while. here's the deal...nothing has been going on. at least nothing to 'blog-worthy.' sure there were a couple of things that i wanted to post about but i couldn't, so here's the update.

i interviewed for a job a while back. it was supposed to put me somewhere else, but still in the midwest. well, i went for the first interview and that went well. then i went back for the SECOND interview and i think that went well and now i'm waiting to hear about the THIRD interview. here's the kicker...the position isn't in the midwest anymore. it's in LA. I KNOW! i'm so excited about this. it's actually in the irvine california area. i can't even express how excited i am. but i've been keeping my mouth shut about it for a couple reasons. 1) i don't know that the position is mine yet. i don't want to get my hopes up too much to get the, 'we've decided to go in another direction.' 2) i was told not to really discuss it with anyone. so my mom knew, and her immediate phone line (patti, marilyn, grandma). i really want to get this job. this could be the change that i've been DESPERATELY needing. we'll see what happens.

i've been working on a series of projects lately. two of which, i think i'm completely in over my head. (again that i'm not going to discuss because they are suprises for people - from someone else) and the other is that i'm helping my friend amber cox do all of the christmas party invites for the salvation army of chicago. this is going to be great. as of last monday i was HANDMAKING 200. not a big deal. then tuesday, 300. come friday the number hit 540! i'm in over my head! i love it though because the more people they invite, the more it reflects on how great amber is doing her job. typically they don't hire in a new staff person and then say plan this party for 540 people, unless they are confident in what you do. i'm so proud of amber. seriously, the girl has some amazing abilities.

so that's it. my life in a top-secret nut-shell. so i haven't died and i haven't fallen off the earth, it's just that nothing in my life is discussable. i know it's not a word but JFK made up normalcy for cryin out loud, give a girl a break!

more later...sooner, i promise.
