Alanta job hunt

I have been extremely busy and haven't had much time to blog.  Last Friday,  I left for Atlanta to spend Memorial Day weekend there and to go on 3 interviews.  Marc and I were really productive but also found some time to relax. 

Some of the Atlanta skyline

We bought some stuff for the apartment and picked out paint colors for the whole place.  (so stressful as I have commitment issues) 

New from TARGET!

We also got in lots of sun and ate some delicious food at our favorite restaurants as well as food we cooked up. 

Team MC...yes that is what we call us

 The weekend was nice and long as I didn't have my first and second interview on Wednesday and my third on Thursday.  Interviews are so stressful especially when your career is riding on it.  I interviewed with 3 fantastic schools and heard unofficial word from two principals that once the hiring freeze lifts I will be contacted and to not do a thing until I talk to them. (That's a good sign in my book!!) I would be lucky to teach at any of the schools  so now I just need that freeze to go away.  OMG I almost forgot!  I ate a burger over the weekend as well.  It was absolutely delicious however I don't see myself digging into meat again anytime soon.  I really do enjoy being a vegetarian but it was good to move past my little craving. 

Oh so yummy

I flew back late Thursday night and had field day on Friday.  It wasn't as hot as I thought it would be, especially because we were outside in the morning.  After school, I went straight to the airport to pick up my mama.  We went to our favorite restaurant Dolce on Friday night.  On Saturday, we did some shopping and had margaritas and Mexican at 1900.  The weekend was very low key and that's exactly what we wanted.  The best thing about having a mom that is also your best friend is that we can sit and talk for hours, watch tv, read, or sit outside and watch the world go by and feel so calm and content.  On Sunday, I brought my mom to the airport and went straight to the pool to work on my tan.  It was a cool 93 degrees and needless to say I was in the pool alot more than usual.  That brings me to what I am currently reading.  I just finished The Adults (thoroughly enjoyed although slightly strange).  I finished it while in Atlanta so I picked up The Year We Left Home by Jean Thompson.  It was mentioned in a magazine I was reading recently and had a good review.  I read about 30 pages so far and it's just okay which is why I picked up Gone with the Wind at Barnes and Noble over the weekend.  My mom and I were talking about it (takes place in GA) and she said she loved the movie so I decided to read the book first before watching the movie.  The book is 1,448 pages. (Um, WOW) I am 38 pages in and I'm hooked.  I am also reading (more like glancing) through the book called The Eat-Clean Diet by Tosca Reno.  It is really reader friendly with lots of pictures and info on the clean food diet principals, recipes, and a 2 week meal plan.  I am planning on making the Very Berry Blaster protein shake for breakfast tomorrow.  I am hoping to find some new recipes to make for Marc and I that are healthy and yummy.  I will post pictures and recipes as I make them. 

Well that's my week recap.  I'm off to the gym.
