The most wonderful time of the year

Good day!

I finally got to decorate the apartment today! And Ray helped, which is a big surprise because I like Christmas decorating a lot more than he does. But afterwards, right when we decided to go for a walk, my phone rang. It was for a job interview! AGGGHHHH! Finally! I am so freakin' excited! I've been so discouraged with the whole job search lately. But it's so much more than a job and a paycheck. It means possibly moving away from Ellijay, closer to civilization, things to do, people to hang out with, stuff to get involved in... Ahhh. And so on our meager budget we decided to mini-celebrate with Zaxby's and then some Ben & Jerry's and a movie (Phish Food... mmm!). So my day was pretty close to perfect. It's like a pre-Christmas present.

Seriously, you don't know how excited I got. I was jumping up and down and singing and rambling on and on. But I don't sing normal songs. You know in the Wizard of Oz right after Dorothy leaves Munchkinland and comes to the fork in the Yellow Brick Road right before she meets the Scarecrow? It's really upbeat, fun clarinet-y bouncy stuff. So I basically was humming this as I skipped along the path in Ellijay's park. I think Ray was a little embarassed (luckily it was really cold so no one else was out), but who cares? I have a job interview!
