Potatoes and Harry Potter

Wataj Blogisphere-

 

I'm realizing that God really has a plan for me and things are going to be ok. I had a second interview yesterday at a restaurant in town called "Threadgill's". After my interview she asked if I could come back in an hour to interview with the server manager. I came back and the guy was very nice. He told me it was between me and another girl and that he'd call me by Friday to let me know. I got a call about an hour later letting me know I got a job. :) 

I start on Monday. So I'll probably spend the weekend learning the menu. Fine by me, I don't have much to do anyways. Walt's coming on Saturday I think. He's decided to get an apartment, so he'll probably be looking at areas he wants to live in. 

I have decided that I want to get better at cooking. When I actually take the time out and try I'm ok at it. It's just rare that I make the time and do it. But it's very therapeutic. I haven't done much cooking since I got here. More like combining and heating things up. Which is fine, but not as fun. Until I have a steady income coming in from both jobs I'm being pretty frugal with everything, including groceries, so I'm making due with what I have. I'm making cheesy potato pancakes. The first round was a very unsuccessful so i threw some sour cream on top and just ate them. I made them smaller and now they are turning out pretty well. Make for a good lunch tomorrow at work. 

I'm a little bummed. This week I realized I'm growing up and it kinda made me sad. Honestly the saddest part is the realization came from Harry Potter. This is the first year that I haven't seen HP at midnight. I know this is small, but it's odd. Every year my friends and I would get really excited, throw little parties, read the books, different things, and then all go see the movie together. This year I didn't really have the huge urge that I have in years past. Perhaps partly because I was so disappointed in the 5th installment, partly because I was here and had no one to share the extreme excitement that a midnight Harry Potter entails.  

I'll see if Walt wants to go see it with me this weekend. It might be nice to see it without as many fanatics around. Ha.
