Over the Hump

Hooray- we made it over the hump! The end of the week is around the corner, and I'm liking that trajectory. It has been a little while since my last post - what have I been doing, you ask?

Well, I found out that I didn't get the comm/sales job that I didn't really want. The feeling of relief was incredible.  So I've successfully (or should I say unsuccessfully?) gone through the entire internal hiring process for both jobs now.

In other news, we got a new couch. Well, technically it was a hand-me-down. I LOVE it and Cricket is also a fan. Great color, cozy, and hardly worn at all. When you sit on it, it holds you up! Who knew.

She looks like she's saying "pet my belly," but this is actually a trap.

I'm also working on a few creative projects - it never ceases to amaze me how much joy I get from sitting down with fabric/embroidery or paper/photos for a few hours and making something new. Or even just for an hour. This summer I'm planning to finally learn to knit dishcloths (I know, it is so easy, I've just never taken the time) - because they are my dish scrubbing tool of choice - not to mention that they're super cute.

Other than that, I've continued to be obsessed with soft-boiled eggs. I make them on the weekends for breakfast. Check this out! I mean, it is a peeled egg that maintains it's shape and is filled with warm liquid yolk! David Chang would be proud.

Submerge egg in boiling water 5 min.
Move to ice bath (or cold water).
When cool, peel egg carefully.

Slice up and add salt, pepper, and your choice hot sauce.
