Interview, not job

Grace in small things:

1. I am (as yet) still gainfully employed full time, as is my husband. Hoping to keep it that way.

2. My son had quite a coughing fit in the middle of the night, the likes of which he has not had since last summer. I brought out the nebulizer and gave him a breathing treatment, and he never coughed again all night. For that I am very thankful, because he has had his share of nights full of coughs, and they aren't very restful for him. He woke up well rested and cheerful. I hope the cough keeps away tonight. My son has informed me that the cough is on a plane headed to go live in the groundhog's hole (Groundhog Day next week), so I'm very hopeful that it will be gone.

3. Warm house

4. Plenty to eat

5. My family

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is something weighing heavily on me this morning that I don't feel at liberty to discuss. I probably won't be able to talk about it anytime soon...But if it's not too much to ask, please keep my family and I (vaguely, since I haven't said why) in your prayers, thoughts, whatever you have...I have faith that it will all come to a positive resolution...But sometimes it's the getting there that's the challenge. Thank you. :-)

Forget about Delurking Day - What people really want to talk about is whether or not they lock the bathroom door. Thanks for all the comments. I may have to rethink my stance - Apparently I've just been lucky not to be walked in on all this time!

Bing asked people if they would be interested in being interviewed, and I figured why not (ready made post!). Following are the questions she asked me, and my answers. If you would like to participate, leave me a comment to that effect, and your email address if I don't already have it, and I'll send you questions.

1. What was your childhood dream job, and do you actually work in that field?
In junior high/high school I took 6 years of french, 4 years of spanish and 3 years of german. I wanted to be an interpreter at the UN. I barely work in the same time zone as the UN, and having nothing to do with any language other than English...So, um, no. Last week I did find myself muttering a phrase to myself in french, so apparently I've still got it. Heh.

2. What do you like about blogging?
It's a release when I need it to be and I've "met" (never in person) some interesting people. It really is a community.

3. If you could be the richest person in the world but never find true love or the poorest person who was happy in love, which would you choose and why?
The poorest person in love. Does that really need explanation? I'm a mother and a wife. I'm a nurturer. All the money in the world would feel empty to me without my family.

4. If you could have dinner with any famous or historical person in the entire world (alive or dead) who would it be and why?
I suppose I would invite Jesus to dinner. I think I owe him. ;-)

5. If you had to cook that famous person dinner, what would it be and why?
Well, my favorite is lasagna. Do you think Jesus would like lasagna? I'd like to think so. Cannoli for dessert.
