the first square

welp, friends....

the job got offered. but it wasn't quite right for a couple reasons. I was sure i needed to say, "thank you, but no thank you" but i couldn't quite bring myself to do it. My dear Debbie had gone to such trouble to connect me with her friend. i didn't want to just poo poo on such a kind gesture. well, i was put at ease when he said, "we have to rescend the offer after all". all in all, it was the right thing- just a funny way to end up back at square one.

thank you for the concern on my behalf. i don't have the same anxiety i had last week. don't know if thats foolish or just hopeful...

i hope its hopeful.

I am now on "mission: get hired by the 15th". if you know of anyone who can help with this mission.. please point them my direction. if it is in Nashville. i just can't give up this wonderful city yet. Thank you very much.

on a lighter, more fabulous note...

I got a hold of the email address for my beloved Jason Mesnick on people.com. thats right... i'm technically a stalker at this point. He (in case you've been under a rock) was the runner up on the most recent installment of ABC's "The Bachelorette". in a word, he is deeeeeelish. i'm basically obsessed with him (as evidenced by the earlier posts). I was obligated to send him a message including a picture of myself in the "Team Jason" shirt i made. :) he promptly replied with praises of the shirt and my organizing career. he said, "keep in touch". little does he know... i will. maybe every week. just until we're living happily ever after in kirkland, wa raising his adorable 3 year old ty. .... what?

i would like to finish by saying i am grateful for this outlet. thanks for listening, following up, etc. it really means a lot to me. sometimes, in order to write more honestly, i pretend none of you read this. it is extremely flattering that you do, thats all.

xoxo. (jason, those are for you)
