I’m having a hard time believing how everything came together. God must have been looking down on me, opening doors and closing them at the right moments.

Thank you!

I’ll be back in two weeks or so to report on my landing.

It’s about all that’s left of the old “Trading Spaces” anymore, it seems.
Doug’s pretty funny, and it’s always fun to see the old homeowners’ reactions to how their former spaces have been redecorated by somebody else.

Very pretty

I don’t know if his advice is any good – otherwise why would I be so darn sore? But the site looks nice.

Wednesday will be a good test of whether I’m on the right track.

But maybe one before exercise is better than two after.

As for your hair, it already looks kinda reddish in your picture. How much redder are you thinking?

The Hundredpushups.com site gives you a schedule to work your way up to 100 pushups. There are different schedules based on how many you can do to start with.

Last Wednesday I started on the highest level, based on my ability to do 12. So I did 38 pushups: 10, 10, 8, 6 and 4, with one-minutes breaks in between. Big mistake. My arms hurt for days.

I started over again at the intermediate level today: 28, in smaller batches. Hopefully with some stretching and ibuprofen I won’t be so sore tomorrow.

I have a third interview tomorrow.

I’m really torn because of the benefits issue. I now get 4 weeks vacation, and I’m not sure they’re going to be able to give that to me just coming in.
I’m also realizing how many friends I have at my current job, and I’m wondering what will happen to those relationships if I jump ship to a competitor.

And it looks really great. Took us forever, but it was worth doing.
