SO Nervous! ...Kind of.

So tomorrow is the big day: my "Design Test."

It will determine if I am proficient in Adobe Illustrator and hand drawing, and will also determine whether I get an actual interview for this job. In any case, even if I fail horribly (not likely), I still have a job after the dust settles... and I could try again. So I'm trying to just be positive-nervous instead of negative-nervous by having faith in my badassedness and my mad drawing skills. I have been watching YouTube for Illustrator tutorials all of lastnight and into today, and my confidence is growing.
Besides, they have 2 postitions open that they need to fill; Why would they not want me to succeed and fill that spot?  I could be that person for them! Their search could be over with me!!!

My mantra: *Just Believe*

Wish me luck.

The Best Bad News Ever

Yesterday I gave myself a stress headache from subconciously clenching my jaw over and over.
The culprit? "Would I have to do OFW?" stress.

I touched on not wanting to present at OFW last week and have been tossing, turning and rolling in bed for the past 32 days while my designer application floated out in space waiting for April 11. My body has already decided the stress from OFW was not the good kind that I can thrive on. Luckily today happens to be April 11th and I got an answer. A big, fat answer...

Friday I'm in LoVE! #12

I'm not at work today (learning Illustrator!)... but I want to share with you that my boss will be on TV tonight! I have put off telling most of you that I work at Oriental Trading Company, but I am spilling it!

So make sure to catch Undercover Boss tonight at 8PM/7PM CST on CBS!!!

Today I love me because:

1. I'm finally dreaming again... and I keep telling myself subconsciously to let stuff go.
2. I got my butt out of the house VERY early to learn Ai today.
3. I'm planning to incorporate my very HiLLjO-y crochet skills to work for OFW with a children's line. The wedding dress is still in progress but I don't want to work on it with a deadline.
4. I made AMAZING deer-nitas chimichangas last night. Like dining-out quality chimis. YAH.
5. I drank SO MUCH WATER yesterday! Like, a crapton.
6. I finally asked for help with my cyst: we're scheduling surgery on Monday for later this month.
7. I'm making jello shots for the Undercover Boss viewing party my coworkers are throwing.
8. Seriously who wouldn't love me for making jello shots?

Have a great weekend! Watch CBS!!!!!
