Good Things Are Afloat Hope you all had a enjoyable Valentine's Day yesterday, if you are into that sort of thing. I don't have any strong feelings about the day myself, but I certainly don't mind getting a bouquet of lovely white tulips from my sweet husband! I gave him the oh so romantic gift of SLASH! We had tilapia tacos for dinner and finally watched Once which I think we've had for about a month now. (Not making very good use of the money I pay out to Netflix every month!) It was a super sweet movie and the soundtrack is so beautiful. I mean, it is a movie about music, and wow, yeah, I really loved it. In fact, I downloaded the soundtrack this morning and I am listening to it this very moment. Good stuff.

I should also mention that I did make it to see The Savages. It's pretty damn depressing, but a good movie. I saw it with my mom and her comment was that she hopes she never gets that old.

Regarding the title of this post, I say good things are afloat because I had a really productive interview at an employment agency yesterday. Shocking, I know. I generally have very low expectations when it comes to employment agencies, but the person I met with yesterday seemed to get what I'm about which is a nice change. I'm not actually in serious job hunting mode, but the agency had a listing that I felt I should investigate. I love my current employer and the job itself is entertaining most of the time, but it's not a situation that is going to change very much with time. I think that if Will and I are really going to be here in Santa Fe for a long time, I'll probably feel more fulfilled if I have a work situation with the potential for growth. It's so easy for me to let myself be stagnate, I have to be careful. So anyway, I don't know if anything will come out of the meeting that I had, but it made me feel excited, like something good is going to happen.

I'll leave you with a photo of my sweet Rocky. Both cats have been so happy with the warmer weather. Rocky likes to sit in the flower beds in the backyard. I often shut the gate so he can't get out and I think it makes him feel safe. We're supposed to get anywhere from 3-5" of snow tonight...we'll see if the weather folks are right. Will and I are going snowshoeing for the first time ever on Sunday so it'd be nice to have some fresh snow. Happy weekends to you all!

P.S. I'll post my flickr favs a little later.
