Update

For those of you who haven't heard. I got the job, I'm going to be teaching 4th grade! Woo Hoo!

A Few Things

First, I'm in Germany and right now, if I had a choice, I would never leave. I forgot how much I love it here (Emily J. can I get an Amen!). It has been a wonderful week spent catching up with old friends and making some new ones. I spent a day at the soccer tournament, a day with the Dredges, an afternoon with Renee and a weekend at Blauen. I just need to catch up with a few more people and I suppose it'll happen today or tomorrow.
Only drawback...I'm going to have to spend the night in the Frankfurt airport tomorrow night because my plane leaves so early...bleck.

Second, I have a job interview on Friday, two days after I return. Details to follow, but please pray that it goes well and I get this job, I really, really want it.

Third, my cousin is getting married on Friday. I'm tired of weddings...'nuf sed.

You might live in Podunkville if...

1. You walk into work and say "Feliz Cinco De Mayo" and your co-worker asks you if that's a traditional German greeting.

2. The happenin' place to be on a Friday night is the bowling alley.

3. "That place down the road sells good gizzards" is a common phrase come lunchtime.

4. "Ain't never" is required when conveying the negative, otherwise people think you're joking.

5. 10 out of 12 people you see on a regular basis (co-workers, friends, etc.) have never been out of the county in which you live. (No, I didn't forget the "r".)

And finally...
6. A customer comes in and asks for "them there what'sadosits, fer yer head" and you know exactly what he's talking about because 20 minutes earlier you helped another customer with a similar request.

Did you ever think...

that there are words in the dictionary that have probably only been used by one person, ever.

I had to look up a word for my sister, I was helping her with a project, and because I am a nerd I started looking at different words in the dictionary. I must confess, I love dictionaries. I love knowing what words mean, even if I will never use them in my life, it's still fun to know them. So, here's a few words I've decided to put on my vocab list: naugahyde (which was actually already in my vocabulary), basophobia, didymous, and finally variorum. Want to know what they mean, look it up!

For those who have asked, I leave for Germany on Mother's Day, I'm going back to BFA and I'll only be there for 10 days, I have to come back for my cousin's wedding. Of course, if anyone is willing to lose enough weight to meet the 70 lb. weight limit on suitcases, I'll stuff you in my baggage and take you along!
