Well, I guess I spoke too soon...I got the job!
Actually, it was pretty funny. Since summer is almost here, I decided to throw all caution to the wind and try to find a swimsuit during my lunch hour yesterday. Even though I've lost nearly 30 lbs. since January, it was not an adventure I was looking forward to. So I zipped over to Macy's, perused the swimsuit section and picked out a couple suits that I hoped would not cause small children to run in terror when I entered the pool. I had just pulled on this swimsuit that COULD NOT HAVE LOOKED MORE HIDEOUS ON ME. I was standing there looking in the three-way mirror, with my mouth agape at how bad I looked, when my cell rang. It was one of the people who interviewed me and she offered me the job!
So anyway, in a few weeks, I'll be a senior editor for publications at a major medical school. And I'll be making about $15,000 more than I am now, which will make our lives so much easier. Lately I've been feeling like I am one major expense away from disaster...this will help so much.
So even though it did rain all weekend, we ended up getting a little sunshine later in the week!

Congrats on your new job! Isn't that the best, when you get something you want so much?
As for the Backyardigans, I confess I watch them alone - so it's really not so sad and you're not alone! Ha!

I don't even want to think about a swimsuit. I usually avoid them all summer but this year I will need to take Abbey to the pool and actually get in the water, so I will have to come up with something...
Also happy for you about your new church.
