I got the job!!!! Last Friday I had an interview with a Real Estate agency for a part time position as a support/admin position. This is the type of thing that will get my foot in the door for a perm full time position. So I go in on Wed. to sign paperwork and such.

It has been a very long two weeks. Joël went to S&J's for a week, then they drove him home and they stayed here for a bit. We also had a friend of ours from NY come and stay with us this weekend. Phew, lots of company, and not a lot of school work getting done. YIKES The house is now quiet and I am getting some work done.

On Sat. we had more people over, since S&J were down along with E, and it is close to Joël's b-day, I made up a huge pan of lasagna, and E made some fantastic "Korean BBQ" as E calls it. It was amazingly good and believe it or not the lasagna went really well with it. For desert, I made a lemon merigune pie.After the meal we sat down to play games. I went to bed early due to feeling icky with a cold, (I tried not to cough all over the food when making it :-)) Everyone was still partying when I went to bed, great host I am eh.

Ladybug siteing - I was eating my salad on Sat. night and all of a sudden I saw this thing moving on my cruton, aahhhh, it was a lady bug! As soon as I realized what it was, I was so excited. For those of you who don't know, in the adoption community, when a lady bug is sited it is said that referrals are on the way. Being that it is almsot the end of the month, I can believe it. I picked up the ladybug, cruton and all (s/he had to eat) and put it outside.

I think that is all that has been happening at the Laforest's, there probably is a lot more but will save it for another day.
