I was informed a couple hours ago that I didn’t get the aforementioned (and posted about) Dream Job.
Luckily, actions taken earlier in the day (not to guard against affirmations of unemployment and ensuing mopeyness, because of course that hadn’t happened when I ran morning errands — but taken just the same) have insulated me against feeling totally worthless, because Wow do we have an awesome kitchen. We did before but we really do now. Thank you, Target and Loews.
So instead of mopeyness, I’m just going to pack your eyes with photos of the kitchen in midafternoon light. The very same kitchen in which I will soon make a g’normous pot of macaroni and cheese . . . and settle in to look at job sites. Again.

Great shots, Natalie! The kitchen looks beautiful, and I love the final touches, the signs and the rack and the ruffled curtain. You’ve done a fantastic job!

Hey- I want to come eat in your cute kitchen! You could make me a pie! I also bought tomatoes to do like the pic your mom sent, they still are waiting to be dried out. I just haven’t made the time! Oh well. I know another job will cross your path, something you’ll enjoy and be good at. Maybe whoever that museum hired will be awful and s/o will say, i told you we should have hired that Natalie person and they will call! (it could happen!)
Love you-Aunt Melissa

Ooh, that looks completely delicious. I’m keeping it in mind for the future party to celebrate my future (currently nonexistent) new job!
