British Bun in the Oven

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Aw, she's adorable!

I like the exterior! Oh my, it's so exciting! (I say this as someone with a BA in Architecture and who receives enormous pleasure from making houses in The Sims ) I hope you'll be able to show us photos of the interior in time, too.

Tracy, my fingers are still crossed!

Jewel, I hope you receive that interview.

OMG, That is going to be so much fun when you buy your home. With that degree do you have a list for the interior features you want? What types of things would you remodel to add?

LOVE the house too - wow!! And the little peanut is just adorable too, let's not forget that! :D LOL.

Still waiting to hear on the job. The recruiter tells me that he heard the team that interviewed me all liked me a lot, and the HR lady from the recruiting firm was supposed to meet with the manager of the team yesterday afternoon. Would have thought we'd hear something by now but alas!! The waiting sucks, but at least I HAVE a job where others don't, so I can cope.

Some companies just take FOREVER! I submitted my resume on Friday thinking they would get people in to interview for this job ASAP, but they are very busy. My interview is scheduled for Monday at 3:30. Very excited! I'm not sure what my chances are, but the interview is a very positive sign.

Oh my, I haven't even begun to think about things like that! I daren't permit myself to dream too much.

We're not quite sure if we'll buy a place, even with my dad's assistance (I'm not sure what assistance he intends to provide, but I'm not sure he'd cover an entire down-payment). It might just be a little too much stress and money at the beginning of the year. Financially we'd probably be a little better off if we rent a one bedroom for a year or so and use our extra cash to pay medical bills and create small savings.

Still... the thought of having a permanent residence is so, so sweet.

Great news on the interview, Jewel! And sorry you haven't heard yet, Tracy - I hope you do soon.

OMG! I just heard yesterday that they want me back for a 'final' interview - which is scheduled at 3:30 on Monday!! Must be a good sign for both of us, Jules!!!

I agree that your interview is also a very positive sign. You go girl!!!

:dance: :dance: :dance:

I'll check in before I leave for mine since you're two hours ahead.

Okay! I'll about need half a xanax before mine, LOL, but hopefully I'll cope. Extra deodorant is a must. Oh and I should think about attire that won't show sweat. HA!!!

This job has driven me to the edge every day this week before 10 a.m. OVER IT. Kind of adds to the sweat for Monday, hoping it goes well.

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Great news, Tracy! I hope the final interview goes well!

[Fandango 1,439]

Hey ladies...glad to hear everyone's doing well....good luck on the interviews!!!! Keep us posted!!

[TracyTN 237]

Well mine is off for today. Apparently some of the team I'm supposed to meet with have 'unexpected' training. Tentative reschedule is Thursday. UGH! I'm just so ready to tell this place to shove it.

GO JEWEL!!! All good vibes heading your way.

[Jewel-8 21]

I'm hoping I made a good impression. One of the interviewers was British. I'm always incredibly nervous when I interview so who knows. They said the next round of interviews might be next week, but weren't sure because of the holiday. Hoping yours goes well on Thursday, tracy!!

Anyhooo, what is everyone's plans for turkey day?

Oh yay!! I hope you managed to tell him your British connection! Definitely let us know when you hear something - I know you knocked it out of the park.

Mine got rescheduled for tomorrow, so I'm happy about that.

No big Turkey day plans (hubby still finds it all weird) - just going to my mom's as far as I know.

[Alex & Rachel 78]

Good luck today, Tracy!

Actual Turkey day I'll be spending with Alex and his parents, but on the Saturday after his aunt is having the usual family Thanksgiving - and as Alex's mother is one of nine children, it's always a very large gathering! I love his mother's family, though, so I'm looking forward to it.

Thanksgiving is definitely my favourite American holiday!

17 weeks today! Still throwing up.
