can't make a decision? do both!

so last week's whirlwind of interviews and job offers and rebuttals and discussions and decisions was very.... taxing.

was it better? should i make the move? was it to risky? i mean, they DID offer it to me 3 different ways. all in an attempt to find the fit that would work. i should be flattered that they are so interested right? ugh.

so now? well i'll do a project for them on the side. we get to test each other out and see if it's a fit. no risk! extra money! why not? i think this has worked out pretty well for now if you ask me.

the mom thing? well i wrote her a rather lengthy email. i think i did a pretty good job of laying it out on the line and not being accusatory or attacking at all. we'll see what happens there. i'm curious about it, frankly.

and the trip! yay! we leave friday morning. very excited to see melissa and go to the senior design exhibit! and see mark! how fun! i haven't been back to my college, well, since i graduated. wait, that's not true. what a liar i am! melissa and i taught a class there together while i was at CDG. still, that was 4 years ago? i think that's right. at any rate, it will be fun.

and i'll be in glastonbury, where my (potential) new employer is based out of so i can stop by and say hello! and meet some of the people i'll be working with. at least i think so. we'll see.

and i get my stove back tonight! hurray!!!

not much to say

been really busy at work and also interviewing for a new position that kind of fell in my lap. not sure i want it, exactly, but it is like a 30% raise and i would work from home. it's all happened so fast and i should find out if they will meet my number today.

we also began the Great Tiling Project last weekend. it's very pretty. not done, but pretty. our behemoth refrigerator could not be removed from the the kitchen entirely, just moved to one end. so we still have to finish up the tile under that spot once the fridge can be moved back.

the next magazine starts may 1, which, if i accept the offer, is also when my new job would start. yikes.

in other news, we're going to CT next weekend to visit my best friend. i swore i would never set foot in that state again. but i miss her and she could use the visit too. also means we'll be there for the big design show at our college. kind of excited that timing worked out! who knew!

in other news, my mother called me this morning. no lie. and her message? in its entirety "why are you mad at me?" in a total like upbeat sing-songy voice like i'd say to alex after doing something stupid. i swear. now i have to figure out what to do about that.

ok, i had more to say than i thought.

i can't stop eating

for two weeks now. i can't stop filling my pie hole. at all. this usually happens to me a few days out of the month, but then i won't want to eat for like 3 days after, it all balances out. but this has not stopped! i just ate a banana, my hummus and 2 sugar free turtles. in like 2 minutes. what is wrong with me? (plus garlicky chocolate breath? not so fun, must get some gum now...)

when i sit and think about what i eat in a day, it's not a crazy amount.... but for ME it is. me with my (not-so) little belly. i wonder what's causing this. i need to nip it in the bud, that's for sure.

in happier news, the new wallet i ordered to go along with my new purse that i got at the party my SIL dragged me to is in and she's picking it up for me tongiht. i'm very excited to use my new purse. especially since my old one seems so...... dirty to me now. better be careful though, i might try to eat it.
