Happy Birthday/Halloween!

Well, it was my birthday yesterday.  I am at a weird spot in my life to be having my birthday; unemployed and life is crazy!  We decided to carry on with the party this weekend, so here are some photos of the costumes I had a hand in. Oh, first, my scarry spread!

It was a fun party, we even watched Rocky Horror, which I have not done in years.  I ate bad food and it was great.  Oh, but what made it even better was the night before I got a call from a Potential Employer that they want to fly me out to their location for a big interview.  So guess who is traveling tomorrow am….ME!  I am in the midst of interview prep!  I am excited and I think I want this job.  It would take me away from friends and family but bring me closer to other friends again.  Plus, I could be employed!  What a great feeling.  

So yesterday was my birthday, and celebrations continued.  I had breakfast with a great friend who was visiting.

Birthday Friends!

 Then I worked on finding a suitcase and doing some packaging re-con at local stores.  The ending on the day was great, Joel and I had dinner with both my parents and his at an awesome Hibachi restaurant.  It was super fun, and I got some nice presents.  It was great that I got to celebrate with everyone.  Now, I must really focus on this interview.  EHHH!

Sorry there are no knitting updates.  I have been working away on the shawl and I am on the last chart, but with the party and interview prep it hasn’t really been touched since Friday.  But I plan on getting a lot done on Joel’s socks while I am traveling tomorrow and this weekend.
