I went into Chili's this afternoon to take the test and interview. The test was actually a little harder than I though it would be. It wasn't HARD, but I guess I thought it would be super easy... and it actually took a little effort. After I took the test, and Geoff told me I passed, Geoff said something like only 1 in 4 people pass the test. haha. Wow. I had no idea. Chili's I guess is becoming a little more strict with their hiring process. Orientation is going to be on Sunday in the AM and I'll probably start training next week. It's going to be weird working in a restaurant that isn't Pearl's, especially at first. Meeting all the new people, learning all the new food... learning their computer system.. all of which I'm sure is a LOT different than Pearl's. Oh well, I think I'm going to like it better anyways. :-)

I'm going to enjoy these next couple of days not working :-) I think I'll go shopping tomorrow for a dress to wear to Anne and Mark's wedding... which is Saturday!! I'm also FINALLY going to work out with Trisha tomorrow (it's been like 5 days since I've worked out... not good).

Philip is snoring next to me... so I should probably go to bed.

Just got home from Jenny Craig.... 2.8lbs lost this week! Whoo-hoo! I am SUPER pumped. Also, since I started JC (Oct 1) I've lost 9.5" :-D :-D Hopefully I can keep this up before the cruise .... I have 5.6 more pounds to loose before the cruise to meet my first "mini-goal". One more thing I have to brag about... I've ALMOST lost 20 lbs since August! (about 18 to be exact) WOW! Ok...that's all about weight loss. Tonight we're going to buffalo wild wings for Philip's b-day :-) I'm hoping eating there won't be too much of a challenge... I will just find a salad to eat. Should be fun though.

After talking with Geoff last night, I decided to work at Chili's. He told me I wouldn't have to work weekends, ever. Which is what I wanted. Also, since Philip is working mornings now (yay!) Geoff said I could just work lunches, Mon-Fri. I think this is going to work out great! And I'm excited to be making extra money to save (...and spend a little :-P)

I'm thinking about going to Praxis college too ... it's something I've thought about for a long time. Thinking back on it, I can't think of why I never did it...? Massage Therapy is something I would be really good at. It's something that I can make good money with now, and then after kids it will be something flexible I can do to still make money!

Anne's shower was yesterday at my house. It turned out to me the PERFECT sized group and it was really fun!

My mom is going to be here in a few with a lady to look at my wedding stuff for her daughter's wedding... time to go get ready!
