Here is my wonderful nephew that was born almost two weeks ago. He is the first baby in the family and hopefully not the last. I have already been able to rock him to sleep twice (I have what my family calls, baby mojo). He is so sweet and perfect.
Next up on the new changes report is that this week I spent 6 hours interviewing for a new job in the company I work for. This job would truly be a much better fit for me. I would be able to put to use my skills and interests and get paid for it. I want this job so much I would gladly pay to do it just to learn for the woman who could be my new manager. I know I was the last person to interview for the job and I had already made it to the second round without even interviewing in the first round. But alas, I am learning to be patient and stay positive. An endless lesson for me!
Now let's move to my garden where heirloom tomatoes are bountiful and so ripe they are splitting. I have already started to look towards what I want to grow next season.
I am starting to get my heirloom seed catalogs and I am very excited about having a house warm and sunny enough to start seedlings.
I have also been reading like a mad woman. Free books is not a good thing for me. I am like an candy freak in Willy Wonka's factory. Everyday I bring books home and read them.
I am almost reading a book a day. I have decided to start telling my wonderful readers what books I have been enjoying lately so that you will know I am relaxing and taking pleasure is something besides 12 hour days. As my good friend Vera mentioned on her blog, a new book that I read a month ago is now out on the market and a wonderful read. It is called Psychic Junkie and I read it in one afternoon. In fact I could not put this book down. I saw some of myself in this story but I also came to understand what a true gift I have. I am lucky to have never called any 1-900 psychic lines or gotten my palm read. My one friend that is very psychic and I could talk but it was never out of hand and I have been lucky with my friends who don't take advantage of my gift. I am so glad to have gotten to the end of the book where the author truly experiences that light at the end of the shadow side and ends up having a much more exciting and positive life than before. I highly recommend this book for these warm summer weekends.
I also just got an Heirloom tomato cookbook from Chronicle that I am very excited to use this weekend!
PS. The name of this post is the new nickname for my sweet nephew since everytime I have asked him if he is going to like dill pickles (which I love) he gives me a funny smile face.
