Hey everyone. Sorry about the long vacation. I'm still without internet at home. Still without a couch... but it's coming together... slowly but surely.
Anyhow, The In Store Experience for the job went well.... I think. She did tell me (as she has told me after every interview) that there were 3 others being interviewed for the position. I ended up being paid for the experience.... I had fun. I nearly cried though when I found out that there's yet one more interview (with the franchise owner) IF I get picked. I feel a little bit like it's some sort of "Chipotle Idol" going on. I really just wanted to know one way or the other. I've been in this interview process for almost a month now.
The most amusing part of the ordeal:
Before I began the ISE, they had me write an essay on my favorite item on the menu. Can anyone guess what I wrote my lengthy essay about? It's a good thing I didn't have anything to drink in my mouth at the time, because I would have spit it all over the Area Manager.
It's been extremely busy here. Or I would come to the library more often.
It seems that Grace has resurfaced. I fell off my back porch last week and nailed both of my knees. Right knee scraped and lightly bruised, left knee bruised and pulled tendon. I was just talking about getting back into working out. I'm trying not to get disheartened, but really, it's just one more aggravation at the moment.
I am of the opinion that I am changing into a TV person. This doesn't come easily to me. Usually, I sit in the room that the TV is in, and just crochet, while everyone else watches. But there are a few shows that have kept my interest.
House
He's a prick. I love him.
Nanny 911
This is actually what I call crash course parenting tips. I'm not as 'with it' in the mommy sector as I'd like to be. Besides it's nice to watch what seems to be impossible change into possible. I'd be interested to know if these families are sticking with the changes that were made, but then again, I don't have the time or the energy to look it up or care.
Starting Over
I caught this on TV a few times... just enough to see what seemed to me like radical therapy sessions. But now I find that it's a house full of women who are all starting over. I really like this show. It satisfies the need to watch drama, and the introduction of healthy thoughts into people's lives. When I have the house situated, I intend on purchasing the 1st and 2nd seasons and watching all the way through.
Gotta run

Let me guess: the salsa? No?
Must be guacamole then.
It's too bad you can't recreate your essay. I'd like to read you waxing poetic about guacamole. ;-)
A Chipotle recently opened across the street from my store. As a neighborly gift, they had someone deliver chips and guacamole to all the surrounding businesses. I didn't eat any, but I sure did think of you. :)
I miss you!

I cant believe the process they drag you through to get a job there--at least they know you really want it if you stick through it all. Writing an essay on your favorite item? That's...kinda weird. And Elementary School-ish
