Well today wasn't my day. I had interviewed for a newly created position in my department at work and found out today I didn't get it. I don't know who got it yet as the bosses bring all the candidates in one at a time to tell them and then will announce who did get it. They have offered to meet with me soon and tell me where I fell short. They said that if I can improve on a couple of things I would be their next choice when the position or something similar comes available again. I'm bummed -- I do a lot for them, above and beyond most times, and to be told someone else got the job--it hurts. OH wells, tomorrow is another day and I will continue to do a great job and see what the future holds. There's a reason I didn't get this position and only GOD can see my future and what it holds in store, doesn't mean I can't be bummed for right now.....

There was a jewelry sale at work yesterday. I was good, only bought something for Kristine for Christmas. They have nice things but tend to be expensive. Waiting for the next book sale.

Talked to Rob the other day, they are seriously considering being here for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year. I sure hope so, would love to see Shannon's face when she gets up in the morning to Santa being here. I miss having a little one around on Christmas.

Shame you didnt get the job. But like you said God knows what he has in store for you. Hope the kids can come for Christmas.

Karen,
I'm sorry you didn't get the job but I'm sure God has a niche just right for you. How wonderful that you might be seeing that happy little face on Christmas morning. We will be seeing Kasey's - will miss Ronnie's sweet little face. Counting on Scott and Violet to take some pics for us.
Keep up your good work, Karen. It will pay off.
Hugs my friend,
Sue
