The Right Job

I'm presently trying my hand at what sounds like a super delicious breakfasty-dessert... French Toast Cupcakes! I thought it best to do a trial run before bringing them to a cook-off we're going to on Saturday. I'm not an excellent baker and to be honest, I've never made my own icing before! So we' are trying this out by third-ing the recipe. << A LOT harder than you'd think! Especially since I cant find my 1/3 tsp or tbs spoons! If all goes well they will come out looking something like this..

I've got my work cut out for me!

Aaron and I got our filing cabinet of craigslist and it needed some serious loving. But with the help of a little bleach, a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and a lot of elbow grease, it was looking good as new again! That was until we started filling it and I don't know what happened but we managed to seriously disfigure a key plastic component that lets the door shut all the way.

I'm kind of bummed because with a lack of continuous income, $35.00 is a lot to spend on something only for it to break! Thankfully, my hubby figures himself a Mr. Fix-It so I'm sure it can still be salvaged.

On the job front, I had a follow-up, in-person interview with the company that does retail events on Wednesday. I also had a group interview for a marketing position at a healthcare facility. Well after the in-person interview I was pretty convinced that the job just wasn't for me. And I went ahead and called the other recruiter for the group interview and cancelled. That company was pretty far downtown and wasn't going to be financially viable.

On the upside, I had a second interview this afternoon with the same financial institution that I met with on Monday. Good to know that my math test wasn't that horrific.

Still, I'm not sure how I feel about everything. It's difficult to have to choose between having an income and enjoying what you do. Do I take the first job offered because I need the money or do I wait it out for the right job? Who knows if it will come? It's not like I'm new to the market. I mean, I've been actively searching since the end of June.

Part of me wants to just have a fun part time job that will allow me to maintain my home, spend time with my husband, and fellowship with my trophy-wife friends. I don't know if that's what's best for my family but I can't say with all certainty that a 9 to 5 deal is either.

Please pray for me. And for my cupcakes.
