My forgotten update from the Craftacular event.

A week and a half ago I went to a unique craft fair here in Madison, and I almost forgot to tell you about all I saw.  There were a lot of homemade jewelry vendors, some pottery, various knitted items.  Some unique things were records melted into bowls, and the record covers made into serving trays, and something you would find in Wisconsin....duct tape wallets and passport covers.  I was good and only bought myself one thing, a christmas stocking and it was only $8.





Not quite my dream house, but it'll do.

Well it took two tries, but we got our gingerbread house to stand on it's own!  I tried to be fancy like the outside of the box, but lets just say I don't have a "delicate touch" when it comes to this kind of thing.  I will never be invited to apprear on Ace of Cakes that's for sure.

3-5"....of snow? Where have I been?

So it's been flurrying all day, and I didn't really think much of it until I saw someone post on facebook that we were supposed to get actual inchage.  One thing about being unemployed, I never check the weather.  I used to be a religious follower....but then again you have to wake up before 7 to actually watch the local news.  I'll continue to live in a well rested weatherfree bliss, it's worth it.

Interview tomorrow

So tomorrow I have my follow-up interview at SubZero.  I'm already taken 3 batches of online testing for it, one was almost like taking my ACT's all over again!  I've had a phone interview and a face-to-face interview, now I have an hour and a half scheduled with multiple people.  This is quite an intense interview process.

A few days late, but it's the effort that counts right?

I've been kind of absent this past week, so lets see what have I been up.  I finished the wooden tiles below, made some cards, baked Kurt turkey dinner with all the fixin's for Thanksgiving.  I survived working 5 hours at Old Navy on BLACK FRIDAY!  I had a good interview at SubZero and received a call for a second interview, and just about got all of Kurt's families Christmas shopping done.  I'd say it was fairly productive.
