Yee-Ha!

I got a call-back today from the Office and my second interview is next Monday! Now I just have to pick out my outfit and think of some catchy little phrases about why I'm such a superstar.

As for the previous post, just ignore it. Whatever happens, happens. I'm over it. Life is too short to worry about the things I am powerless to change. Here's something my grandma gave me today at dinner that brought a smile to my face.

"In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting'. Regarding body changes she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. Then she said this, 'I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same as making a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' "

And there you go. Nighty night.

Gotta love wise grandmas - I know mine usually helps me get perspective!

Although I appreciate your letting the suspicion slide, I am still wicked curious as to the identify of this young man.

Damn it blog commentators have a right to know!

Ohhhh Christina. You were right in your myspace message. Not the first time, but I think the second. Either way, just think hard...

My dear I sent 2 messages - I know you eschew myspace nowadays, so if you don't want to email a response via that site, I'll send you my regular email address so we can message that way.
