Feeling lucky...

This week the weather has been so beautiful. It really has lifted my spirits. I wish I could find a place to live where it is sunny with mild temperatures 90% of the year. I'm feeling rather lucky this week. I probably shouldn't have typed that...now my luck might vanish. Still, good things have been happening in my life and that is rare - so I am celebrating!


We survived the big, bad wind storm of 2008 with hardly a scratch. Trees fell near our home, but none of our trees were damaged. The worst thing I had to do was rake up all the pine cones and crab apples that fell during the storm. We also didn't lose our electricity...and therefore I didn't miss the season premiere of House! (My priorities are out of wack, no?) Several of my friends lost their electricity, however. What a hassle! I've been trying to spread some good karma around the universe though. Twice now I've gone up to random AEP employees (who are from out of state) and thanked them for their help.

Brian also won a huge raffle prize from Ballet Met! This means that we get 2 free tickets to every performance this season! I already picked up tickets for the October and November shows. We both enjoy Ballet Met's performances and I'm so excited that I am finally able to go see their production of Dracula. We also received 6 free tickets to COSI and a crap load of COSI gift shop items. I can't believe we won!

I also landed my first interview for the very first position I applied for! It's next week. I'm hoping for several more calls as I just sent in eight more resumes yesterday. Perhaps I will employed again very soon. (Fingers crossed!)
