New Leaves

Hope you all had a lovely holiday season. As I am sure you all know by now, I am so blissfully happy that the holiday season is over.

In fact, now that it is over, I am in the mood that I think that you should be for the holiday season.
Funny, isn't it?

I am certain that I am going to get the job. I had the second interview. It went well, I had a wonderful reference from my previous regional manager. I've been called to do an "In store experience". They want me to basically spend 4 hours in a store during the open and through the rush so that I can see what a day of work is like. To see if I am still interested. Excellent.

I am so ready to do this.

I have started taking my Ipod to the library with me because I am highly annoyed that the noise level isn't what I remember. Am I getting older? Am I turning into a crabby old lady? Seriously, I remember going to the library and the librarian working herself into a froth if you so much as elevated your voice above a whisper. But it's the librarians too. Oy. Not to mention that sometimes the people beside me think that I might want to talk to them.

Did anyone make any resolutions? I've contemplated.... not really sure what I'll do. It'll probably to get back into shape now that my back seems to be on the mend. It gets a little tweaked on some days, but most days its better and the knot on my spine where I fell of the horse seems to have gone. I don't think that I really have a size/weight in mind. But I am pretty sure that I just want to feel healthier. Obsessing over size and weight has dominated my life for so long, that I am just going to let the 'ideal' go. We'll see.

I tried to become vegetarian instead of vegan, and that just about tied me in a knot. I think that I have (as a result of being vegan) become lactose intolerant.
Ah well. I'm accustomed to the way that I eat, and I actually like it now. I noticed that the things that I had 'missed' didn't taste the same. It wasn't at all what I missed, or remembered, and I was happier with soy delicious faux ice cream, faux cream cheese, etc.

Mike and I went out for New Years eve and it was wonderful.

Oh, Mike and I went to the Cedar cafe the other day and watched Mohammed (owner) make hummus, and he even gave me the recipe. I didn't think that it was possible, but I am currently hummussed out.

I think that my next kitchen endeavor will be to make pita bread.

I've got to go to work, but I'll have to tell you about my new cook book.

love yas
