Idaho Weekend

I am back from a weekend to Idaho. I came home with a sore throat. Do not know where I got that. No one at home had a sore throat. So I stayed home Monday but now back to work with a sore throat and a runny nose.
On Saturday we had a family reunion. It was great to see everyone. The weather was nice, that is always a plus! I did get a sunburn though. Ironically 70 degree weather and I get a sunburn. How fun!
My nephew got to open his birthday presents from Chris and I. It was cute to see him open them. He was happy with his presents I think. He has some cute expressions.
The not so good thing was that Shane was being grumpy. He did not want to get too far from his mommy. So there was a definite lack of sleep on this trip.
We went to the Cassia County Fair. That is always fun. Mom, Chris, and I volunteered at the 4H building. We were hostesses at the entrances. Really it just meant we told people that they could not bring their food and drinks in the building. While volunteering I witnessed for myself that the mullet is alive and well. Remember the e-mail entitled child abuse and everyone in the cute little family had a mullet? That was almost the family I saw. The mother did not have a mullet but father and young son did. I was definitely in Burley, Idaho.

Outcome...

The interviews went well. I could not believe how many applicants we had. I was the only one with a position open and now we have a few at my company. So I am glad that I am done with that now!! First it was down to two really great applicants. Talking with my boss we got it figured out. We had a second interview/meeting today. It went well even though I worried. All for nothing though, I offered her the job and she was so excited. I am so excited to have her start. It felt good to offer her the job. We even hugged afterwards and that never happens.

Interviews...

This week I am doing interviews at work. I am so glad I am the one asking the questions and not getting the questions thrown at me!! I am so thankful to have a job! In this hard economy I feel really lucky to have such a good place to work! Looking at some of the applicants it really shows for the job market. I get the hard decision of who to interview and then who to hire. I rewrote the questions as well. It has been over two years since I last hired anyone. Sometimes the questions just don't work for some people.
So send me some good energy for a good pick!! I will need it!

Maybe the stars were aligned...

Maybe Jupiter was in the seventh moon. What am I saying? I am not an astrologer person. It had to be something though because I went on a date. Believe it or not!! Ha! Ha! It was fun. We did the dinner and a movie thing. (That is a classic idea but why change a good thing I guess.) I do the online dating thing, not much has really happened for a very long time. I got on chemistry.com awhile ago. They send you matches and then you decide if you are interested. It was fun to go out on a date with a nice guy. They do exist!! Nice guys I mean. I was beginning to wonder. We ate at Applebee's and went to Ice Age 3 at the Gateway. It was easy to talk to him and it was just fun. What were those butterflies earlier in the day for? lol!!
