So, I went for that third "interview" this morning, and the guy offered me the job. Description-wise, it fits where I should be at this point in time. It's not a pay increase, in fact, it's a little bit of a cut from where I was when I left my old job

After four crazy days of Thanksgiving fun and a day of bumming around the apartment, I think I'm finally getting back into things. Today's goals: laundry, groceries and Christmas decorations. A few highlights from the weekend: 1. Visiting with my Grandma

We got the Bed Bath & Beyond flyer in the mail today, and I just had to share this: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=14399593 This just weirds me out. (I mean honestly, if back hair's that much of a problem, maybe you

I love cards - sending and receiving them. Last year was my first Christmas "on my own," and I had a blast finding cute cards (but not too cheesy). Now that we're almost to Thanksgiving, Christmas cards are the next item on my pre-holiday to-do list.

We did it! After a tough loss last weekend, my Buckeyes came back to win the only game that really matters: OSU v. Michigan. I'm so excited about it! Now we're going to the Rose Bowl. The biggest bummer? I missed all of the pre-game and the first few

So this afternoon, I decided I'd bake some bread. I have this recipe for "Sour Cream Loaves." It's a nice, sweet bread, but it's a little plain on its own. Last time I made it, I threw in some extra cinnamon and some raisins. This time, I thought I'd

After a mostly successful visit from my parents, we're finally back to having the apartment to ourselves. It's nice to see people, and entertain, but it's even nicer to get back to being just the two of us. As Andy put it, we can "drink from the juice

A few end-of-the-weekend thoughts: 1. Regarding the unknown guests/wedding card: I was not going crazy; these people weren't at our reception. Turns out Andy works with the guy, and he got the card at work the week after the wedding. (And we sent a thank-you

So, I'm finally cleaning up the other room so my parents don't have to jump over boxes when they visit, and I find the box that I'd packed the cards from the wedding. Now, Andy's been after me to throw them away since we started moving. (He hates hanging

I'm a procrastinator. Always have been, probably always will be. (In college, I was always writing a paper at 3 a.m. the day it was due... while my roommate slept, with her completed paper printed and in the binder for the next day.) And when it comes

When we moved to our new state, one of the first things on my to-do list was changing my name. I figured that it'd be easiest to do it here, rather than back in Ohio, and it would save some cash at the DMV. (No point in getting two new driver's licenses

After living (read: tossing and turning) with my ancient, worn-out mattress for the first few months of our marriage, we finally broke down, spent the big bucks, and bought a new mattress and bed frame. That's a good thing, right? Well, as far as comfort

I love fall Saturdays. The sunshine, the crisp air, the college football. I'm crazy about it .Unfortunately, the invention of the Big Ten Network meant that I couldn't watch my beloved Buckeyes beat the Badgers, even though I'm just a couple hours north

I'm a little impressed with how domestic I've been so far today - laundry, cleaning, cooking. I'm sure that some of my motivation is coming from the fact that we're having friends over on Saturday, and they've never been here before so I'm trying to make

Being patient has never been my thing. So, it's no surprise that after 3+ months of looking, I'm getting a little frustrated with my job search. I don't want to settle for just any job; I want one that I love - and that fits into my long-term career plan.
