Sort of...a job update

Cross your fingers! I got a call from Human Resources yesterday right at 5:00 p.m., "quitting" time.....and I missed it!!!! I was away from my desk, making copies for a meeting we are having today! Hopefully, the HR rep will call back this morning with an interview time. I am pretty sure I have the job, "unofficially", but there could always be a glitch of some kind!

I have steadily been crocheting on the Mystery project but can't show any photos of it for now, as a photo might "give it away".

For Father's day and MIL/FIL's Anniversary combined, we chipped in with BIL & SIL and bought them one of those new "digital" photo frames. It is really cool and can hold up to 3200 pictures, has a video feature, a music feature, etc.... Can't wait to get it all set up for them!

Good News

The last two weeks have been very exciting for my DH. He has been looking for a better job for about a year and a half, with not much results. All at once, he has had three good job offers! He accepted an offer and one offer is "standing" if he decides he doesn't like this one. They gave him a really good starting salary, are giving him a company car, paying the gas, and it is a LOT closer to our house! I am so happy for him! We are hoping to eventually put some of the extra money toward fencing the property and making a few needed home repairs around the place. The house was built by my SIL's father back in 1969, so it needs some updating, etc. We have always felt so incredibly lucky that our SIL wanted to sell it to us!

We have had a long lazy weekend so far, and plan to go see the movie "Stardust" tonight.

I haven't crocheted much this weekend, but I bought this new leaflet for making potholders, and I am thinking of starting a "fat bottom bag" out of the book "The Happy Hooker" by Debbie Stoller.
