I'd die in that interview

Lynnel and I had a very romantic dinner last night. What great company! She's so pretty and so delightful. Jeff should be jealous. Hehe. He called me at about 7:00 and told me I need to come there immediately because he was starving and didn't know what to eat. That made me laugh. I thought he was joking... but when I did get to his house, he still hadn't eaten so I made him a delicious meal. Hamburger Helper. Can't go wrong there!!! Anyway back to me and Lynnel. We looked at all my pictures from Prague, talked about life, love and hmmm whats a good word to put here... freedom, yes freedom fits. We had yummy cocktails, a lovely meal, and finished with a piece of chocolate tort cake, served by a fabulous gay waiter. What more could a girl ask for? Delicious!

Make sure you stop for every stop sign because guess what, the tickets are up to $220. Can you believe that? My dad got stopped yesterday but he got off with a warning. So come to a complete stop people!

This weekend Jenna and I are driving to Edmonton. We are staying in the Mayfield Inn and I think Kristy-Anne is going to come have a sleepover there with us. I haven't been to Edmonton in a really really long time, not since Breakforth in 2003.

So I'm making a country CD for the trip, and I have room for about 2 more songs. Any suggestions?

Here's my playlist:

Big & Rich - Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy
Garth Brooks - Callin Baton Rouge

Toby Keith - Should've Been a Cowboy
Brad Paisley - Mud on the Tires
Gretchen Wilson - Redneck Woman
David Lee Murphy - Dirt on the Bottle
Collin Rae - Little Red Rodeo
Rascal Flats - Fast Cars & Freedom
Toby Keith - Whiskey Girl
Jo Dee Messina - My Give a Damn's Busted
Tim McGraw - Fries With That
Garth Brooks - Rodeo
Sugarland - Something More

Keith Urban - Somebody Like You
George Strait - Desperately
Toby Keith - As Good as I Once Was
Kenny Chesney - Anything but Mine
Dixie Chicks - Cowboy Take Me Away
Alan Jackson - Remember When
Keith Urban - Making Memories of Us
Rascal Flats - God Bless the Broken Road


Actually come to think of it, there is no more room for another song because I already have way too many. Man that is one fricken good cd.

So Jeff just spent the week in Regina, where him and his boss were interviewing candidates for a job. Anyway he brought home all the interview questions and he interviewed me and they were so hard! I'm sure I could come up with really good answers if I had time to think about them, but in an interview situation, they would have been extremely difficult. Jeff said that if one of the people asked to either skip a question or if they asked to come back to it, they were pretty much taken off the call back list. Yah brutal. For example,

What was the best and worst decision you made this year? (3 seconds.... DONE like dinner).
How have you raised the bar for yourself and/or the people around you?
What is an example of you dealing with a difference of opinion in the last year, and how did you handle it?
Describe your learning ability. (I was like, can you elaborate on that? And he wrote down "skip" and went to the next q!).

I can't think of any others, all I know is that if that had been my interview, I definitely would've been on the garbage list! They sure were good preparation questions should I ever need to have another job interview someday, which I'm sure I will eventually.

And so I ask all of you, what was your best and worst decision this year? I'd be interested to know. Or answer any of those other questions if you want.

Happy Friday!!
