  • KT - fingers crossed!!! Good luck! We need you employed again so we can see you more often!!! :P
  • Lala, thanks for the travel info! Wow, you really do love to travel; Paris every month! Afraid dh and I will have to go in June, since we're tied to the school calendar. (Our last visit to Paris was March '01, when we actually had a spring break for a change; much less crowded and cheaper, you're so right.) This time we hope to visit Amsterdam, Brussels, and a few small towns, if I can get dh to leave Paris, that is!

    Katie, I agree w/Melissa, I'll bet they'll get the funding! How wise of you to hold out for the kind of job you really want. Do you think maybe your weight loss helped give you more confidence? I'm sure you made a great impression on them!

    Melissa, thanks for describing the 16-wk award! Sounds cute. I think their keychain (& charms) idea was great; something everyone needs, and usually has with them all the time. Good reminder or anchor. Re: rain, nope, not a drop. Funny how it can flood north of us, in San Antonio, and be so dry here! Hope you get a lot done this weekend; I need to move my winter clothes out too. Our closet is small, and I have so many more clothes now.

    Guess I'd better get to work; hope everyone has a great Friday!
  • Drum roll please....
    Yahoo! I got a call this morning saying they got approval to hire the second person (me!!) So, they officially could offer me the position & I accepted (naturally!! ). I am pretty excited and am still a little amazed that I actually made it thru the interview maze and was hired. Coincidentally, this week's WW mtg was about self-esteem - you are so right,JanetMae , I definitely know that feeling good about my body/weight loss has a tremendously positive influence in my confidence level. It also that the one woman had been a leader/trainer for WW in the past & the other women was currently on the Winning Points plan. I figure any angle I can get helps. I plan to start on May 1 - there is a 2 day training session May 2-3 in Milwaukee that they'd like me to attend.

    Gotta run & get stuff packed for the weekend visit to the Twin Cities. I'll try to check in on Tuesday.

    Take care,
  • Woohoo Katie!!! That's great! Have a great weekend!
  • HI everyone.

    Kt I didn't see your post until this am and I must say

    wooo hooo awooo and hip hip hooray!

    I'm glad you got the job. What a compliment to see that they authorized another position because they wanted both of you. I'm sure you will do faabuloously.


    Enjoy your time in the twin cities. I loved my weekend there!

    janet- we don't go every month in the year, but we have had years where we ended up going like 4 or 5 months/year (combined with london, rome, etc). DP is a chocoholic and decides when she needs to replenish her supplies. I just like purses and copper cookware.

    nothing much here, working hard, but nothing is concretely accomplished. Must spend weekend writing proposal and finishing powerpoint presentations.

    Other than that, its plant sale weekend, so i'll be hitting them pretty hard ~ they have tomatoes and other veggies and lots of neat volunteer plants that go for a song.

    Hope you all have an outstanding weekend if I don't talk to you sooner.
