Extra, Extra Read all about it!!

Joey comes home today from a week long business trip to Miami. That means I get to drive to the airport and do the potty dance from excitement while I wait for him. He is all dressed up in business clothes which means I should probably get out of my old dingy track shirt and the blue boxers with fish on them . Maybe... we'll see... I like my track shirt. It is an extra large and it is red. I have had it for almost ten years so it is that special kind of soft that only comes with lots and lots of multi-time wearing and a million and one trips through the wash. The boxers are just funny.

I had a job interview today and it went really well. (No I did not wear my track shirt.) I was professional, didn't stutter and smiled when needed. They showed me around the office and I sat with one of the employees so she could give me a "tour" of their computer program. It looked like it would be interesting. The down side are the hours, 7am start time. Ouch... however all of those years of going into work at the bakery with my mom at 4 in the morning and then later in life getting up at 5 am to go run prepared me for this. I am a sick, sick person who actually kind of likes getting up that early as long as I have reason. Plus finding parking would be no problem, and I wouldn't have to drive in rush hour. Less traffic? Sign me up! Hopefully I'll get it, if not then it's not the end of the world. It was good practice for honing my interviewing skills.

Other than that Halloween costumes have come in. I am going to be Sherlock Holmes and Joey is going to be Jack Skellington from Nightmare before Christmas. We were planning on being Jack and Jill (you know the one that went up the hill) as a funny combo of the two, but I decided I didn't really feel like carrying around a pail all night. Plus this removes any possible chance of someone shoving me down a hill and laughing from the top while reciting the nursery rhyme. Maybe not the biggest deal to some but a pretty decent motivator for me.

I also went out to dinner with my friend Neven last night. We had a blast as we always do when we see each other. She is great whenever I need to just relax and be me. Plus she keeps me young. :) Meaning, of course, that she has a way cooler life than I do and I live vicariously through her adventures. This is a picture from a couple of Halloweens ago. I was Super Pipi-Longstocking, I really wanted to wear a cape so I improvised. Nev has a love of wing-ed things. That year she was a devil, with wings of course. Most years she has wings though. :) It's one of the weird things I like about her. Anyways, it was great seeing her and I here by state that I refuse to go for long periods of time without hanging out her ever again. (We have had really crazy lives lately, but that is no excuse!!!)

Enough from me, the red-haired peanut. I've things to do, places to be, and Joeys to hug.

SIDENOTE: Can you imagine if there was more than one Joey??? YIKES!!! The world would never be the same!
