The World According to Leslie

The Girl Scout troop is participating in the local Christmas Festival this Saturday.  The girls have been hard a work for a week or two to make cake balls, cookies, dipped pretzels, etc.  Last week, I asked my church people to please consider donating items for the girls to sell.  (I'm still hoping to get some things!) Anyways.... over the weekend, I bought some Pillsbury Sugar Cookie dough at the store.  I bought the rolled up kind.  On the roll, it says that you can roll it out to use cookie cutters.  So I did. My cookies were SO PRETTY!  Then.... I baked them.  :(  They all flattened out and looked like blobs instead of cute trees, bells, gingerbread people, and other shapes.  :(  So disappointed.  EPIC FAIL!

So I interviewed for a job on Wednesday of last week. I forwarded all the house calls to my cell phone on Thursday while we were at Tweetsie. I literally sat by the phone Friday waiting for a call. Every time the phone rang, I hoped it was them. They never called. So I cried a lot on Friday. Actually, I cried more than I care to admit! Then today, I called them to see if they had made a decision. The response I got was, "Yes, we made a decision. I had you on my list to call on Friday, but I didn't get to it." The tone to his voice confirmed what I already knew. I did NOT get the job. So I am sitting here again today. Crying. Wondering. Feeling like a failure. What else is there to say?
