interview!

guess who has an interview next thursday! oh oh pick me! pick me! that's right kids, an interview at the science center. the guy who called sounded excited on the phone and things look promising. part of me is excited, and part of me isn't. i know that any job that has more hours than my current one is a good thing. i also know that this one is at least somewhat related to my field (and probably a position i'd have a whole lot more fun doing). not to mention it is located ON an awesome rollerblading trail. hmmm. suddenly more appealing than i thought...also it's in the same part of town where i will hopefully soon be involved with some ppl planting organic gardens in empty lots. here's my only bit of concern: the pay is only a tiny bit above minimum wage. part of me keeps hoping i'll find something that pays better. but i guess it's tons better than i'm doing now so i can't complain right? either way, wish me luck and please pray for me! as most of you know i'm a pretty loud person, however i'm very very quiet when i first meet people. i like to take it all in and get a sense of things before i come out of my shell, therefore interviews are somewhat of a challenge. i have to work really hard at being my true self right away and not presenting the shy quiet person that comes out when i'm unsure of things. and for a final bonus: this is a permanant position, whereas if i am offered the job at the zoo it would only be for the summer.

ok time to go crochet like crazy. there is a baby shower gift that needs to be delivered tomorrow and i'm only halfway done. oh and my friend kristi helped me walk the dogs the other day so i was able to get some pictures. i reported earlier that they weigh in at 150 and 180 lbs respectively. i'm doubting this now though. all the info i could find on their breed says that the most they usually weigh is 70 lbs. i am thinking that perhaps the old woman who owns them can't actually remember their weights. but either way they are still chubb-o's. here's some pics:














here kristi demonstrates the "new water skiier position" aka the only effective way to stop ditto when he is runnig full tilt, otherwise he just drags you or yanks your arms off. yes, i do frequently look like a fool while
walking the dogs.













kristi and ditto running. see how fat ditto is? after he runs he starts wheezing like he's dying, which always makes me a little nervous...

the beast (ditto) please note the drool starting to hang from his mouth.
























aww and here's eric.
