Now that the obsession has waned...

Yes, now that the obsession over reading the Twilight series has waned, I think that I need to get caught up on my housework, get ready for a job interview on Friday (Yippee!) and do a couple of digi layouts.  I spent a good portion of the weekend getting caught up on some of the things that I've been putting off while reading.  I still need to scrub the kids bathroom, but that may wait until later this evening.  I have to get the stomach to get all the toothpaste off the cabinets.  Of course no one did it.  I don't go in there very often, unless I'm helping the kids with something, so I didn't notice the blue smears all over the side of the sink cabinet until they were dry.  Yeah me.  I get to clean it up.  I can only think of Nigel, but I can't rule Abbie out either.  No one is 'fessing up, and they are both acting innocent.   Did someone else do it while sleepwalking in our house??? 

I am so excited with the happenings the week in our life!  Dan has a job interview with another department on campus at the U.  He has worked in the office of Information technology for almost 9 years now.  His latest assignment has been with ISO, the Information Security Office.  He has been a little disenchanted with it, as they were one of the last groups to be informed about the loss of information from the hospital a couple of months back.  Shouldn't they have been the first???  Anyway, a guy that he knows on campus, sent him a link to a job he had in his department and Dan applied.  The talk is that he is a shoe-in, but we'll wait and see.  I just want him to be happy and challenged at his job, not ornery about all the issues that they are facing.

Dan isn't the only one with an interview!  I have one too!!!!  Now, I did just get to Weber State last November, but my immediate supervisor left to take on the Associate Registrar position, leaving his position vacant in July.  After Dan and I talked about it, I decided to go ahead and apply, regardless of wether I get the position or not.  First and foremost I need to keep myself out there for other opportunities that come up.  If I get it, great!  It will be nice to keep doing what I'm doing, but have a broader scope. 

Well, I completed a couple of scrapbook pages today while it rained and hailed and was an absolutely fantastic morning for curling up on the sofa.  I am kind of behind on what I have wanted to accomplish.  So I've worked and got a couple of pages done from our annual excursion to the Box Elder County Fair & Rodeo.  We've gone almost every year that I can remember.  They have this hamburger stand that we eat at.  For some reason it is the best and I crave these hamburgers all year.  I'm not much of a meat eater, but for this, I'll make an exception!  I saw them bringing in bushels of tomatoes to put on them, straight from the farm.  No wonder they taste so good!  Yummy!  My mouth is watering just thinking about them!

I should also mention that I did my very first batch of canned tomatoes on Saturday!!  All my tomato plants have produced, but most all the tomatoes are split.  I just chunked them all up, put them in glass jars and processed them.  It totally reminds me of my mom and her canning all the years that I was growing up.  It was actually a lot of fun.  Now, if the wind and hail didn't ruin my peaches......
