Where is everyone??? Good thing I got the coffee going--French Roast and it tastes very good!!
Good news--I got the job as manager of the shop I told you all about! Got a very nice email yesterday from the owner I'd met with and she offered me the job--and I quickly responded "yes!" So excited, as I really think I will like it and will do well. Only thing--she then emailed me to say she'd hired an assistant, a young woman, and thought it would be a good idea for us to come to one of the stores in ME to train for a few days. I started to panic a bit then. I don't want to jeopardize anything, so I am thinking of saying that my car is being repaired and maybe the assistant could drive if hubby drops me off at her house. She is about 1/2 from here, but closer to ME. I don't like to lie, but don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?? I'd be starting probably in a week or so.
Need to go back and reread all the posts from yesterday, but wanted to say that I always feel like I have met all of you--face-to-face, I mean. And hope it's okay, Pap3, to say that your new job is with the company I did demos with for several years, and would still be doing them if i could drive! I would never recommened anyone unless i felt 100% sure she'd be great, and I knew Pap3 would!!! I'm just about excited about this as I am about my own job
I have this idea in my mind that we can all meet up somewhere sometime in the future!
Had a great dinner with our friends last night, and I even poured the Chardonnay for the two girl pals!! One had brought a bottle of a sparkling pomegranate type of non-alcoholic champagne for me. It was fantastic, but as I was removing the cork I managed to give myself a fizzy bath, LOL!! Anyway, one friend drank 1 glass and the other had 2, and hubby had 1 beer and one guy had 1 glass of red. Other one doesn't drink--recovered alcoholic. I gave the remains of the opened bottles to the friend who'd brought them, and the unopened to my other friend. They were so kind in making sure this didn't bother me, and it truly doesn't, thank God!!!!
Okay, off to read the newspaper and then get ready for church at 10:00. My walking buddy got back from FL yesterday, so hoping we cna get in a walk later in the beautiful weather we are having!
Happy Sober Sunday to all!

An explanation isn't necessary. Just ask if you can catch a ride. And if you are asked to drive just say you're sorry, that's not possible this time. Or I can't arrange that this time, etc. No need to expand on it. Probably like why we're not drinking - most people don't care and a reason isn't really necessary. We just make things so big in our head. Well IMHO anyway. So how's your foot?
I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
