Foooooood!!!!

Today I cooked baked chicken drumettes, rice flavored with onion soup packet and corn. The dish was pretty tasty. I have no idea what I will be cook tomorrow.

So, I Interviewed Today...

And it went really well.

The company representative spoke 95% of the time. No Joke. Seriously. She spoke damn near the entire time about her company, the position, and other nonsense. It didn't bother me much at all. I sat there and smiled and 'Yes-ed' her to death. LOL!!!

Now some may say, how did you sell yourself? How will she know you can do the job? Well, I guess I didn't have to sell myself too much because I received a call 4 hours later saying the rep was highly impressed and I will know of my 'fate' by Wednesday, Thursday at the latest. She kept commenting on my experience and how great my resume was. I attempted to get a word in edge wise and exaggerate my skill, experience, training, yada yada, yada, but alas, there was no need LOL!!!

But get this people!!! Why oh why did I develop the biggest bump imaginable 30 minutes before the interview. I saw it creep into the world 2 days before the interview and ignored it. But, why oh why did I try to lessen the visual others would encounter. I pushed and prodded and pushed and prodded until that thing wouldn't give anymore. Man!!! When I say that darn bump grew 5 times in size, I am NOT exaggerating!!! I was a bit self conscious of the newly formed tumor/bump and had to force myself to sit up properly and not lower my head. It was THAT huge y'all. But as I sit here and type this, much later in the evening, of course it has shrunk to a barely visible mark....go figure!!

I rambled a bit in this post, but what else is new.

OH!!! Before I forget. Effective tomorrow, I will begin keeping a diary(in a notepad) of the food I eat. I eat a lot! Most folk would be surprised if they knew how much I can eat....when I am bored. Man, boredom sets in, and that's all it takes. Anyway, the idea came about when I was working out with a fellow gym rat. We are both trying to get our abs in pristine condition. Well, as pristine as abs can be transformed in 30 days.

I just noticed I express myself on this blog the same way I do in real life....all over the place!! I have to correct that soon. Yeah, I think I will. LOL!!!!

I am going to put it out there and say...

I will have a new position in the beginning of the year!! You may ask, what has changed and why do I feel this way. Well, I have faith in God and I have faith in...here it comes you guys...I have faith in myself and my abilities!! First and foremost, I was able to land this job without any problems. I landed this job because I prayed on it and I had faith in myself!! Anywayz, I will be sure to let you all know when I receive an email or when I receive a phone call informing me of my new placement!!!

Okay, well not a lot has been going on in my life. I have gained a few pounds since the Thanksgiving holiday and I am working hard to shed those pounds. I have no worry in regards to my weight because I am very active and somewhat vain...Therefore, I KNOW I will lose these unwanted 7 pounds. LOL!!! I have to lose these pounds. LOL!!!

Here's what contributed to the weight gain...Every holiday, I prepare several desserts. This year was no different and I prepared a sweet potato cheesecake and 2 sweet potato pies. Both recipes were found online and were a hit with the family, although the sweet potato pies were not quite as solid due to a weee bit too much milk and heavy cream. I had every intention of taking pictures of my holiday creations and posting them on my blog. However once I got into the swing of things, I didn't have time to stop and take pics. I tend to get a bit too involved and don't want to stop with my creations.

But my creations were not the only contributing factor to these unwanted 7 pounds. My sis did it up big time and cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal herself. We had a huge (albeit a bit dry) turkey, stuffing, greens, potato salad (I don't eat), deviled eggs (I don't eat), corn bread, twice baked stuffed potatoes, mac&cheese, numerous other desserts, and I know I am missing other sides. The food was gooood y'all. I ate. Then I ate more. Then I ate some more. I appeared at her house the following day so I could fix a plate and eat. I had a ball and the food was great.

I was in the company of family and friends and was very thankful to share that day with them. I understand this post is many, many days late, but I would like to share with everyone what I am thankful for. I am am thankful for:

• my family
• my friends
• my health
• my sane mind
• my furbaby Houston
• my functioning 5 senses
• my many possessions (lets me know I am blessed)
• my financial savvy
• the great people I meet on a daily basis

I have soooo much to be thankful for. To list them all would take forever, and quite frankly, it's almost quitting time for me LOL!!!!! To those of you out there, I say take a little bit of time EVERY day to appreciate and be grateful for the people, things, and experiences you have. That's it for now. I am back and I am on the move to bigger and better things....will post about that later. Smooches and love to you all!!!
