First of all, I wanted to share with y'all that my 3 month internship just turned into a FULL-TIME SALARIED POSITION! With benefits and the whole she-bang!! So you are now reading the words of a professional editor. Rock.(I typed "editor" into a photo site and it gave me this image. I'm assuming this is exactly what I'll look like in a few weeks' time) ----->
There were 2 interns, myself and another girl (Allison from Sense and Nonsense- give her a visit!) and we were both pulled into the office together with our boss and the CEO of the company. We knew that it was time for "the big talk" and were shaking in our boots! The CEO starts it off nicely and says, "So you two have been here for 3 months now, we really like both of you, and we love your work. Unfortunately, we can only afford to keep one of you." My heart sank. "So," he says, "we have to make a decision."
He then whips out a quarter and says, "Who wants to call it?"
At this point I was half laughing and half panicking because I knew something was up, but I didn't know what. After about a minute of him flipping this coin and calling it for us to decide who to give the job to, he goes, "No, I'm just kidding! We'd like to hire both of you." Cruel. So cruel.
But now I am a working woman! All I have to do is make some business cards...
I also really quickly wanted to acknowledge some awards that I've gotten over the last month or so. I'll try to make it fast.
First, Angie from My So-Called Chaos gave me this multicolored award! Angie has been WAY generous to me over the past few months and I love her for that. She's a great blogger and definitely deserves a visit.
I'm supposed to list 10 things that make me happy, but this post will be way too long, so I'm just going to give it to somebody instead. Cool?I'd like to award this blog to IntenseGuy for being there for me since day 1. He has not let a single blog post go by without commenting and he's such a thoughtful and kind person. Thanks, dude!
Next, Jana from The Little Black Book gave me this award. Jana has disappeared for a while, so maybe if you give her a visit, it will inspire her to write some more!
I'm supposed to answer a bunch of questions for this one, too, but I won't bore you (more). I'm going to pass this one onto The Vegetable Assassin for always cracking me up. This girl is seriously funny. Go visit her.Finally, I literally jumped with joy when McGriddle Pants from Serenity Now...Insanity Later! gave me this award! I have been coveting this award for months and I am SO pumped to finally get it! I'd also like to say that I totally adore everything about McGriddle Pants and her blog. To be honest, I was preparing to give HER an award, but she beat me to it! DEFINITELY check her out.

I'm going to give this award to Erin from I'm Staying Young Forever, who I consider to be my "bloggy bestie." She's totally awesome, she has a great blog, she loves "Full House" and Urban Outfitters (just like me), and she rocks my world. So run off and say hello.
Alright, I'm done now.
All that's left is for you to revel in my full-time employed, award-winning awesomeness. I'll give you 20 seconds.
Okay, time's up.
Stop by on Monday to read a guest post by the boyfriend! He's way more entertaining than me. I promise. :)

Yehaw!!! You rock!
Congrats on the new job (and since you get to drink beer on it, I'd say there is an outside chance you could end up looking like that dude in the picture... well, maybe with more of a beer gut...)
:)
And thank you kindly for the award. I'm happy Yankee Girl shoo'ed me over here back in the day when you weren't busy working.... LOL.
Congrats on the job--that's full of awesomeness!!!
Gonna go check out all the other bloggers you linked to. I'm excited to find more blogs to read, and you have excellent taste, so this oughta be good.
Congrats!! That was a pretty cruel joke haha but I'm glad it worked out for the best. I bet you feel pretty friggin awesome.
yay! i'm happy for you!! that is indeed awesome. :]
as for the idiot from texas (how i hate putting those words in the same sentence)...apparently he went to some marine officer camp, which he did not complete, but i guess he must've said that he did. who knows. so that's twice in a few very short months that the texas branch of the u.s. army's gotten a bad rep. swell.
I really, really hope you end up looking just like that in two weeks. That would be pretty fucking impressive.
Congrats on the job! You're officially a working woman! woooohhooooo! (I'm definitely going to need a business card, by the way)
Thanks for the award. You made my day. And yeah, you are totally my blogging bestie. No doubt about it :)
PS- What ever happend to predictability?
The milk man, the paper boy, evening T.V
You miss your old familar friends, but
waiting just around the bend.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a heart (there's a heart)
A hand to hold on to.
Everywhere you look (everywhere)
There's a face of somebody who needs you.
When you're lost out there and your all alone
A light is waiting to carry you home
Everywhere you look.
Woo to the Hoo!!
Congratulations! That's awesome and having once worked as an editor (at very low rent newspaper, trust me, your job is way cooler) I can tell you that this is exactly what all editors look like.
Brilliant news matey1 You are now a full time memeber of the rat race.
Don't forget us "little" people now you are all big time and what not?
Congrats on your job Ms. Fancy Pants Editor!
Congrats on the awards, too. They're pretty awesome.
We totally rock!!! And for anyone wondering about the level of exaggeration in this post, that's exactly how it happened. I was pretty sure I was heading home unless the that stupid quarter landed on heads! So excited about starting work, even though we have to wake up 5 days a week now.
I have an award and a tag for you over at my blog!!!You don't have to answer necessarily but i like you hence the award! Enjoy.
Congratulations!
I totally read the title of this, and thought, "Well, duh, of course you're awesome!" heheheee
You know, speaking of the Karate award, do you ever see awards people have, get jealous, and think about stealing them? NO? Just me? Oh, ok. Harrrr :)
congrats on the official job!! that's so so awesome. And I'm happy you got so many awards, they are definitely deserved!
