The job interview went really well! I was the 3rd or 4th person to arrive, and ultimately there were about 14 of us. Such a big group! It ended up not being too interviewy though. We were mostly gathered to discuss how the school runs, benefits, some rules, and do paperwork. hey wanted to see copies of our degrees and look at our passports. As we did paperwork for availability and location preferences (there are about 20 satellite schools in the area) we were called one by one for a 3-5 minute meet and greet. My interviewer was from Portland Oregon, so I took that as a good sign! They said I was really friendly and personable, and that people would like to learn from someone with those characteristics. We shook hands and they said they’d get in touch with me in the next week, good or bad.
Well, two days later they emailed me! The school in Roppongi took an interest in my file and I have a final interview with them this Thursday. Fingers cross that they like me too!
The past week has been more of the same- running training, ballet classes, cleaning up the house and making cards with my Cricut machine. For a few nights in a row Penny caused some trouble in the middle of the night. She kept getting marshmallows from the kitchen! I didn’t know if I should be grumpy or laugh! I snapped a quick picture before I scolded her and put the marshmallows back- on a very high shelf.
Toward the end of last week, we had a snow day! Unfortunately it wasn’t cold enough to stick, but Penny and I enjoyed being cozy in the apartment reading and watching the snow fall 🙂
There isn’t too much exciting news right now. January is a bit of a slow month, especially when we’re not dining out and going places, but focusing on dieting, exercising and saving money. All of which is going well! The lbs lost count climbs to 9 lbs for me, and I noticed my running times are improving as well!
I’ll leave you with an absolutely delicious recipe for healthier rice krispy treats. Dan and I made rice krispies for a New Years party and I’ve been craving them ever since, but I’m not consuming butter anymore! So I found this recipe that tastes like chocolate and peanut butter deliciousness:
1 cup peanut butter (chunky or smooth. I used Skippy smooth)
1/2 cup honey (you don’t taste it in the krispies, so no worries if you’re not a honey fan :))
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups Rice Krispies (you can add some chocolate chips or do what I did- substitute regular cereal for Cocoa Krispies!)
On the stove on low heat mix peanut butter and honey. Mix in vanilla extract. Stir in 1 cup of cereal at a time until well blended. Smooth into 9×9 pan. Let sit until solidified. Dan can’t keep his hands off them, they’re just delicious!
