Thanks to Viklit for hosting this weekly expression of gratitude!
It's been a great week for me so I've got lots to celebrate! For starters:
Happy Thanksgiving! I had a wonderful holiday! Spent the day surrounded by family, ate entirely too much good food, got great compliments on my contributions to the meal and just generally lived it up Thanksgiving style! I have so many, many thing in my life that I am thankful for and spending the day being very aware of them made it wonderful.
Vacation! We're only allowed to carry over so many vacation hours into the new year and I was over my max so I sort-of had to take some time off so I wouldn't lose them after the last pay period. So the days surrounding Thanksgiving (i.e. before and after) are vacation days for me. There's been some chores but for the most part our plan is to play as much Lego Lord of the Rings as possible. (Do you guys know the Lego games? We're addicted to them!) So much fun!
NaNo I am a scant 800ish words away from finishing my 50k and what's more I think I'm pretty danged close to finishing the story- period! I have never, ever in the five years that I've done this had "The End" coincide with 50k! Never! And I can't tell you how good that prospect feels- though I'm going to try because there will definitely be another post up here when I'm done!
2nd Interview So you all remember me going a bit nuts last week about that interview I had and how well it went? Well I got the 2nd interview so I'm even more excited now! I really, really, REALLY want this job and I think they want me, too. If you've been crossing your fingers for me keep 'em crossed and God willing I'll have a big announcement about being hired next week!
Great week, great holiday, and great friends to share it all with! So share your celebrations with me!

Whoo hoo! Go, Beverly! Sending good thoughts your way for…well, everything! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Lego LOTR!
ReplyDelete800 words is really very close, you will do it.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great Thanksgiving! Yay for almost being done and reaching your NaNo goal, and best of luck with that job ;)
ReplyDeleteWell done with the Nano, and enjoy your break.
ReplyDeleteOh man, Lego Lord of the Rings sounds so fun. I'm on such a tight budget that I've never picked it up, even though it goes kind of deep on Steam sales and I have a PC that can run it well. You're tempting me, Fox!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on getting the second interview, I really hope you get the job! I have my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteI love the Lego games - my boyfriend and I just completed Lego Lord of the Rings a couple of weeks ago. It was so much fun!
