Mr. Mugshot

I bought this mug for Michael several Valentine's Days back. I am kicking myself for not getting the Mrs. version for me. I am gearing up for V-Day today. I just got off the phone with a Thai place that I've been dying to try and made a dinner reservation for tomorrow. And babysitting is secured for two nights in a row.

Last night I had a phone interview for a part time position that I have been wanting at the gym and I was pretty bumbling, weird and unprepared. I told Michael that I was like George W. Bush in a debate. The great thing about the job is that it would get me my membership free, the kids free and Michael's discounted, too. This alone would be really helpful financially and I would get a bit of income to help ease our tight budget. Heck, maybe it would even allow me to slowly save up for that new lens that I need to earn myself.

And now I have a face to face interview tomorrow (they called me back despite my weirdness:) that I need to think about and prepare for. I've been out of the workforce more or less since becoming a mother almost 8 years ago. My business attire is outdated and I have no idea what I will wear for the interview. Hopefully I can pull together something professional and maybe wear a sweat band or sneakers to prove that I am into fitness;-). My cousin even suggested that I do lunges rather than sit during the interview so that they can see just how fit and cool I am!
Great colour, great shadow, great shot!

You had me with the Mr. Mug - so cute, but the story about your interview and the lunges has me laughing out loud. This really brightened up my day!

Great image great narrative

The idea of you in a business suit and sweatband just cracks me up. I'm sure you'll do great...they called back, right?! Sending good vibes your way.

Love the mug, nice shot! We`re planning a different valentinesday tomorrow ;)

Great shot. Love the shadow. Congratulations on getting through to the actual interview. Fingers crossed for you but I'm sure you'll be fine xx

Haha yes I agree with the consin :) hehe I know you're gonna do great! Anyone would be crazy not to hire a wonderful fun loving gal like you! :) Good luck sweetie! I'll be praying for you! :) Let us know how it goes! Oh and I LOVE this mug! You're right... should've gotten the Mrs. one as well :)

Great shot! I love the shadow in this! And good luck at the interview. I'm sure you'll do great. I understand your nerves, though. I've been out 7 years...will try to score a part time gig in a few years. Almost 10 years is a long time to be out! But I think you'll do great at your interview and it sounds like a good position!

Lovely mug and I really like the tones and lighting! Congrats on the job interview and wishing you all the best for it! xx

Good luck with the job interview. Fingers crossed.

Just be yourself and don't worry about it. Easy to say, but I remember getting nervous about applying for a job as a bagger at the grocery store after having been out of the workforce for many years. It's all good.

Good luck with the interview, I can but imagine how much stress that creates. BTW, love the mug capture.

Great mug, great shadows and great colors. Good luck with the job interview.
February 14th, 2013  
You are one of a kind... I have enjoyed every word picturing you. Best wishes in your interview. I'll be sending good vibes.
February 14th, 2013  
Good luck ----love the shot :)
February 14th, 2013  
I am sure you will do well, if your photos are a reflection of your personality and creativity.. Good luck :)

This is perhaps one of my lamest shots this year, but it was appropriate for Valentine's Day and it did have a groovy shadow. Thanks for commenting despite it's lameness;-)...and thanks for the well wishes for the interview. It went great today. Hoping to hear back and hopefully score a second one next week. I pulled off apparel and will need to either wear a suit or buy something new to wear should I need to go back. Also thanks for enjoying the vision of me lunging during the interview. I chickened out!

You're right, the shadow is decidedly groovy. Glad the interview went well after all that self-deprecation in the caption!

@automaticslim :)! Thanks!
February 18th, 2013  
Haha - brilliant - I laughed at the thought of you doing lunges during the interview! How did it go?

PS - I saw these mugs the other day on dayspring.com and they caught my eye... maybe you can still get yourself the Mrs one? http://www.dayspring.com/mr_and_mrsmrs_mug_christian_mug/?green=4109C8F7-56CB-5971-07F1-34C828E0C37D

@gailmmeek Aw, thanks, Gail for the link. I will have to order one! The interview went well...no lunges, though. I chickened out. Hope to hear back today or tomorrow for a 2nd. Thank you, lady!
February 19th, 2013  
@amandalomonaco Oh good luck! Well I hope you manage to get the mug and all the best for that job!!!
February 19th, 2013  
I don't think this is a lame shot at all. I love the cup (hope you get the Mrs version) and the shadow is great.
I suppose I'll have to work my way through your album to see how the job stuff played out. I'm sure it had a happy ending. :-)

@pasadenarose Aw, thanks so much. Appreciate your kind words. I did not get the job as my availability was not what they needed. Hoping that a position with my availability opens up, though, and I will hear back from them!:)
