Big Day

So, I've had a very big day. Biggest news is that I finished the draft for my latest novel's synopsis. The long synopsis, the one I have put off, the chapter by chapter. 50 of them. 400 plus pages. It's a monster. And even though I wrote the book, I still get chills in the end. (shelli! not that end!) The last thing I have to do is type it up and it's ready for all those agents that will be asking for it.

Second biggie is that I interviewed for a jobby job. Haven't done that in over 25 years. I am sorely overqualified. There were two of us there. It's a community college. My interview was filled with laughing and merriment. I hope the other gal's was too. Seems like it would be a good entry into the field.

The job is part-time and temporary. Although that just means they wait to see if their grant is reinstated for the next school year. Never has been denied.

As I was interviewing they asked why I wanted the job. They could see I have worked and made much more per hour than their job paid. I told them that I love me an underdog. I love working with kids who need a hand up. I love helping those who want to help themselves,. I love cheerleading a kiddo who thinks they don't have it in them when they clearly do. I told them that this job could open a whole new adventure for me.

I said what I thought. I was honest. It was fun. Whether they thought I was a good fit remains to be seen.

Third biggie is that I perfected my Lemonade Martini. It is light and summery and goes with cake, although I haven't any cake at the moment. And speaking of cake, the next one up (next week) is Candy Bar Cake. Oh man. I think my hips just busted out of my shorts.



To end this day, I am having a meatloaf sandwich. I can't think of anything better.

Happy Trails to me.....
