Preparing for Christmas

What makes Christmas 2008 great...

1. Puting a real wreath on the inside of the door, because no one will see it on the outside since our front door faces a walled-in staircase.
2. Blue and white lights that will eventually go around our small windows.
3. Early presents from Mom and Sister in NYC.
4. Radio City Rockettes.
5. Spending Christmas Day with the Coopers.
6. Buying that one special gift for my someone special.
7. Getting Christmas sweaters for the babies (Kiko and Bubble).
8. Hopefully making Christmas cookies soon.
9. Snow in NYC.
10. Making our second Christmas together special in our new home.

And the number one thing I'm looking forward to this month:

Nana's Holiday party mix.

Cipriani Accessories

My New York "job hunting" trip went really really well. I had four interviews scheduled with different companies. I had an interview with Donna Ricco (check out her website www.donnaricco.com) last Friday. Then I had two interviews with Nitches, Inc. which is the company I've worked for for the last six months in Texas. And then I had one last interview with Cipriani Accessories (www.ciprianiaccessories.com). Cipriani asked me back for a second interview the next day, and offered me a job a few days later. I'm so excited!

Tony and I are moving to Manhattan soon. I start work at the end of July. I'm so blessed and thankful and nervous and just really really happy! God is really blessing us right now. All of my prayers from the last year are being answered in very cool ways. He is taking care of us, and making our transitions pretty smooth. I couldn't ask for more than that. :)

Yay!

New York here we come!

I need a new job...

Looking for a job takes more time and effort than an actual job, I've decided. Networking is everything. And here I am in Dallas, Texas, working all my contacts to find a job in NYC. I guess it might be a little easier if I was networking all of my contacts in NYC to find a job in NYC.

But what can you do? I just hope my voice on the telephone sounds as enchanting as I would hope my face looks. :) No need for any comments on that one.

5 Things I Wish I Had

1. A cool suit to fly around in like Iron Man.

2. An endless supply of sunless tanner for my legs.

3. A baby blue Mini Cooper S with white racing stripes and two sunroofs.

4. A huge closet with plastic organization units from the Container Store.

5. Lipstick that would stay on and not stick to my hair.
