J.O.B.

I interrupt our previously scheduled stay-cation to bring you an important update.  Friends, having been employment challenged for a while now, it gives me great pleasure to announce to you that I have work! Where could a heroine

who clearly loves fun accessories,

adores the latest in home decor,

I call this Spicy Susan

and is seriously addicted to spending time with people from far away places

Sam and my lovely friends from Burma

find a job?

Ten Thousand Villages!

Sam says he isn't quite sure how he is going to feel once I start making my millions in fair trade and surpass his income, but I told him we didn't have to cross that bridge this week.  For now, part time, temporary, holiday season me will be excited about working at a place where I've loved shopping for years.  

You probably thought I was done, huh?  Nope.  It was a big day!  In addition to that, I may start doing a little counseling on the side.  I've talked to someone about renting space in their practice.  So don't get too excited all at once, but hold on to your hats because who knows what will happen next!

As if all this wasn't enough, I am SO excited to tell you that I'm yet again being sent on location to cover Georgia for my blog.  The next time we meet, I'll be giving you updates from one of the most southern things you can possibly do:

Reenact the Civil War!!!  Stay tuned to see who wins.
