I’m sorry you didn’t get the position. You have a great outlook about your future possibilities, which is awesome. I’m proud of you for putting yourself out there to try and for your determination to try again.

My screen name hints towards both of my last names.  The saying goes well with my screen name.

That's how I watched the end of that game.  I may or may not have been holding my breath as well.

You know you’re in trouble when the best defense your attorney can come up with is “Scientology does it, too.”

Apple, pumpkin, and pecan.  We have multiple family members with very strong pie preferences, so I try to accommodate.

Tonight is my night lull, but there has been much baking in the recent past and will be again in the near future.  Earlier this week I made chocolate and peppermint cookies for our office cookie exchange.  Tomorrow is dough for Monday night's pizza, and Monday night will be the crust for the three pies I'm making…

Your cat is adorable! My cat would have attacked anyone who tried to put a tie on her. Orion is more accommodating.

We had something similar for my son in AZ. Our cutoff is Aug 31. Those born Sept-Dec could be placed in a class called KinderSteps comprised exclusively of kids born in those four months. If a student did well, it was off to first grade the following year. If not, the child went to traditional kindergarten. The class…

It's wonderful that you were able to find the support you needed.  Best of luck to you!

Send in your resume. It is a risk, but by not sending it in you risk always wondering what might have been.

I read while taking a long bath.  I turn off all notifications on my phone and turn on a fan or other white noise to drown out the rest of the house.

What is it with Toyota lately invading other businesses?  Our October management "recommended" reading was The Toyota Kata.  Their principles do not adapt well to our business.

My son has ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I made him a bed size weighted blanket for Christmas last year, and he loves it. He started sleeping so much better and would try to walk around the house wearing it. I ended up making him a snuggle size one for the couch and one made out of bedsheets for warmer weather.

Adorable! Orion is a spoilsport who won’t wear clothes, so no costume.  The best I could do was a tie from the groomer. And he still wasn’t happy about it.
