The mystery food is....

An orange off of our orange tree. It grew long, skinny and straight. We came home one evening to find Clara Belle eating the other half in our backyard. So considering we have an orange tree in our backyard and Clara Belle couldn't go anywhere it must be an orange. Weird!

Job News

My interview on Friday, I thought, went really well but I know I could have answered better on one particular question. I knew I would be waiting for my response to come in the mail this week and it came today which I unfortunately did not get the position. I ranked number four which means I can still qualify for future openings in that position. I was a little disappointed because I thought that I would really like the job but really I am fine with it. It just prepped me for future interviews and jobs. I have still been searching and will keep you updated on any new prospects.

P.S. there are two new posts below this one.

Can you guess what this is?

I will give you all a hint- it is a food item. I will post the answer by Friday night so stay tuned and give another guess if you want. Some of you have guessed well but none have guessed right. I know what this is but do you?

pumpkins, pumpkins everywhere

This last weekend Jake and I went to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. There were sooo many to choose from and poor Jake had to wait while I searched for the perfect one while he carried his around following me. I felt bad -but- if you are going to go to a pumpkin patch you have to get the exact perfect one for yourself...he just found his a lot faster than I did. Anyway it was a lot of fun and here is what we got.

My pumpkin (left) weighed in at 20lbs and Jake's (right) weighed in at 23lbs. Pretty good size pumpkins. However, I took some pictures of our pumpkins next to the really big ones and for some reason the picture won't upload but they were the pumpkins from the previous pumpkin post and I can only imagine that those pumpkins most certainly were all 50lbs and bigger. All in all it was cheap, good fun entertainment, and a fun outing together. I will have to post the third and final installment of the pumpkin post after Halloween.

Job Perhaps?!

In the "random" post I mentioned that I took a test for the administrative specialist position for the Ventura school district and was waiting for a letter in the mail letting me know if I passed to the interview round. When we got back from Reno I indeed had a letter waiting and I have an interview this Friday. I am totally excited for it. I just hope I don't completely bomb this interview. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed because I sure do!

music

My mom's post on her blog about rediscovering Jack Johnson reminded me that I LOVE finding music that I haven't listened to in a long time too. Recently I discovered this with many of my cds possibly due to the fact that my car CD player has been broken for close to five months now and I have been forced to listen to radio EVERYDAY (CC I know you get this). Unfortunately what I do is listen to whatever music I like at that moment and play it and play it and play it to the point of exhaustion. I get sick of it to the point that I don't want to listen to it for months, then it gets lost in the cd case but then I have that rediscovery moment and the whole cycle just repeats itself.
