I am domestic goddess. I spent four hours tonight cooking... taco soup, HOMEMADE chicken and dumplings, chocolate chip cookies, no bake cookies, and oreo balls. Do you realize how hard it is to make dumplings from scratch? Mix the dough, roll the dough, pound the dough, roll the dough, cut the dough... but boy, are they yummy (if I do say so myself).
I also managed to get most of the house clean although I left Cecil's favorite part, the evil vacuum cleaner, 'til tomorrow. I'm having the whole office over tomorrow night for soup after work, and I just have a few things left to do in the kitchen after I leave work early.
And my Wednesday interview has been changed to a Friday interview, which is most inconvenient, but will have to work. Seriously, it's so very strange that they're paying my travel expenses to go up there and interview... hotel, meals, mileage, etc. Can you believe it? That's never happened to me in my life. So that means I'll be in Siloam on Thursday night and Mountain Home on Friday and Saturday nights... I will have circled the northwest quarter of the state in 72 hours.
I visited with Lonnie a bit tonight. He and Jen are continuing her tour of radiology residencies and his tour of football stadiums in the southwestern U.S. They're headed home from Big D and will voyage to KC this weekend.
Well I'm pooped. This woman stuff makes me tired.

I'm recalling memories of the festivus celebration at your house last year with Chef Prego' at the helm. I do miss you Lori, I hope the winds of changing are blowing through on Friday.
And the spoiling with travel, hotels, etc...get used to it...that's how we roll in the hood..:) okay, just kidding--but it is nice.
Good luck w/your interview on Friday! I have no doubt they will fall in love w/you. And if not...send 'em my way. I'm not afraid to kick a Christian's butt. Really, I'm not.
Seriously, you're great at this sort of thing, and the job sounds perfect for you.
Well, DeWood, I'm certainly no AEllis when it comes to the kitchen, but thankfully I've got two less kids in my uterus than she does. And I'm soooo impressed with your street cred...
And thank you, Jen, for your bold attempts to defend my honor. I think this is the third or fourth time you've threatened to beat someone up for me. Anger issues?
No anger issues here. Just antsy to use my ninja skills.
Jen, I've read your comments and blog occasionally...I think you're my hero.
And Lori, I'm no AEllis either...and I may not even have a uterus--i know there's no clock ticking anywhere near me.
It's like I said, you will do great at the interview. It's after they get to know you that you have to worry.
Good luck, Lori. You can do anything, as you have shown me time after time!!!!!!!!!!! Love ya, Kat
