Back Home

Thanksgiving with my family was great! We had a wonderful dinner, great pies, and the Turkey Trot was crazy! My uncle ran it with me and I think we spent more time running around others than running the race course!! Oh well, it was a good time and we plan to do it again next year.

Today I am getting caught up on my house work and prepping to start my new job next week. I did manage to get my Christmas shopping done... well, so far it is still just balls of yarn. I'm working on making it into something special! ^_^

WOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

It has finally happened!!!! I found a full time tenure track teaching job! It is so funny since I totally thought I bombed that interview!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazy People and Training

So, yesterday Hubby and I went out for a fish fry. We haven't had one in the longest time! While we were standing in line waiting to order we saw this girl in her pajama pants ahead of us. Now, I know pj pants are cool to wear out in public these days. I'm not into that fad. I take the time to get dressed before I leave my house.
This girl took it one step further... she had on her house slippers. Not shoes, slippers. For real? Some days I just don't get people.
This week I stepped up my running because I did enter to run in a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. I am so excited about this!! My uncle (who is a real runner) is going to run with me. He has been running for like 30 years! His first race was a full marathon. I told him that if he wants a better time he can feel free to take off and run ahead of me. He said that we will run together. I'm glad because I hate to admit that I really miss my running partner. Today is her baby shower, but I won't be able to make it due to family visiting.
So, I'm ready for the 5 mile Turkey trot! Yeah!! And, I won't be wearing my slippers! ^_^

Fun Weekend

This weekend we went home to do a jewelry show. We've now done three of them and by far this one was the best one yet! I'm glad that we did it because every time we go we learn a little bit more. This time we focused on looking at our competitors prices and displays. Looks like prices wise we are in the middle of what we saw. That's ok with me.
We also spent a little time with family which is always nice. We were asked what we want for Christmas this year... humm, I have no idea! I got my two windows which were from my parents for our birthday and Christmas gifts. I don't need anything else! Windows were a very cool thing!

So You Want To Know....

What you are getting for Christmas this year? Well, I show you! Here is it:If you're lucky I might even make it into something! ^_^
