Have you ever been to "Loserville"?
Well, today was an interesting day.
The Positive: I went on a job interview. Enjoyed an hour long walk with my dog. (I'm resting my legs for a Metric Century ride on Saturday.) I found a dress for a wedding that I'm going to next week. I fed a 5 week old preemie. I brought lunch to a family in need. I was in my pajamas by 6:00 pm.
The Negative: The job I interviewed for was not a good fit. I didn't go for a bike ride. My daughter is at camp for the week. I had goldfish for dinner. I'm conflicted about what I want to be when I grow up. Again. I was in my pajamas by 6:00 pm.
I am really grateful to be able to read the positives of my day today. I've been living in "Loserville" all afternoon. Why? Just because the first job interview I went on in 9 months turned out to be something that I wasn't interested in. But there is more to my life than that. I love the opportunities I have for service. I love being a friend. I love not making dinner (you've heard that before). Today's Sweet Fringe Benefit is not allowing one part of my day define who I am and how I feel. Unfortunately, it took until 10 PM to see the sfb. Ugh. I still have a long way to go.
Outfit of the Day: Not knowing what the office attire was for my interview, I went with a skirt. No blazer. And no mixing of patterns. Loft navy cotton cardigan, Loft mushroom ruffled shell, JCrew Factory yellow/navy/taupe pencil skirt, JCrew Factory statement necklace, Tom's linen wedges.
I am glad I left "Loserville". I wouldn't recommend it...
