This has been a heck of two weeks! There's been more struggles with work and the job front. Nothing positive to report. I got a phone call this week from one of the staffing agencies, I called back, they had left early because of snow and I left a voicemail. Never heard back from them. Sigh...but on the happier front, I did attend YALLFest last weekend and had a blast! I met up with Nikole from A Court of Coffee and Books and we hung out and did some of the festivities together and both ended up calling it a night very early that day! Lol. Of course we both had to leave for early morning flights home, so it was probably for the best! I got all the books I brought signed and snagged a few ARCs I was SUPER happy to get! All in all, a GREAT weekend there! This weekend we started putting up Christmas decorations and as you're all reading this, I am sitting in line at the Disney Store to obtain a special Christmas key! I'm becoming a HUGE fan of these magical keys! Lol!
