Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

~Cherokee Indian Proverb

so i have 3 interviews set-up for this week...so far. another one is pending.

lately i've been trying to catch myself when i'm not focusing on the current moment. and i'm realizing it's definitely going to be essential this week. i need to prepare and focus on one interview at a time (they're all pretty different). and i can't start getting excited and planning the future. as i've learned: an interview doesn't mean i'm getting the job.

i think about staying in the moment and enjoying each moment in life a lot so i can stay more positive. i was walking tonight and decided i would call them my sprinkles in life. who doesn't like sprinkles? i mean they don't have much taste and they're so pretty. that's why funfetti cake is so popular. ...and i like colors too. lots of them

i started feeling i was dwelling in the past a little with my thoughts. i mean things change, people change, it's all the wonderful evolution of life and i don't want to miss out on what's happening now because i'm thinking of the way things used to be or how things might be soon.

so the only thing i'm thinking about right now is the interview tomorrow and tomorrow night i can start thinking about the next one. i'll take notes after each interview to check-in with myself on how i feel about the position and then forget it a little to clear my head for the next interview.

so i AM learning from this process. thank the Lord something is coming out of it.

museum field trip

i've been doing really well on my field trip resolution . yesterday i hit up another one: the chicago history museum . it turns out it was a free day there, even though i was going to get in free anyway. that means it was busy! which is fine, i still got to take a gander around. I've never been to the history museum before so that in itself was exciting. probably my favorite part was when they talked about the world's fair in chicago (i can't remember the exact name). the buildings were so much grander than i imagined them in my mind while i read, devil in the white city a couple months ago. it was fun to see what it was really like. and wow! there was also an awesome exhibit about workers rights and such. so it was a fun little excursion.

thanksgiving time

( via ) Yes, I like Santa. But why is everyone so anxious to start with Christmas? Why can't we appreciate Thanksgiving first? don't get me wrong, i'm excited to watch Love Actually again (when it's in-season. i actually watch it all year long). everyone kept talking about christmas being everywhere this month, but i really only encountered it when i walked around the mall with Greta (my sister-in-law) on Monday. it was all over the mall. it could have been december. look what Nordstrom is doing i'm actually really excited for thanksgiving this year... (details to follow) but as far as today goes... I have to share this with you because I think it's funny ( via ) actually... at 11:11 I was running around looking for a book called The Moon Seems to Change

Birthday

i was yawning? Here I am: 28! Top 5 of 27: LouFest Marathon Florida (how can a vacation not make it?) New Job trip to Savannah to meet Callie ! My parents came to Chicago last weekend to help me celebrate & celebrate we did! It was a super fun weekend! And it was 40 degrees! Friday I was on the phone with a member from Kansas City. He started chatting with me about the weather and I said, "we are currently experiencing a heat wave in Chicago of 34 degrees." He responded, "it's supposed to be 60 here this weekend, we're going to pull out our bbq grills." I laughed, but thought, 'why are my parents coming here?!? why am I not going where it's warm?!?' SIXTY DEGREES! We won't see that til...april? may? obsessed i made a baby snowman, no one wanted to help so i went with a tiny one... ;) What I would give for the day off today! I want a nap ;)
