Thank you everyone. I sucked up your good energy, took it all in and decided to push through the insecure feelings. I didn't want how I felt about myself to get in the way of us moving.
Your words and energy helped, a lot. Thank you !!!!
Another thing I did to help feel better was wrote a new formula for vegan chocolate chip cookies for Tim. Gotta say, first time using a mixer for cookies and wow, wow, wow.
Delightful.
Lastly, here's both my new banner and how I feel today ...
so proud of you and congratulations on taking the bull by the horns, or in your case the mixer by the electric cord. Wishing you much luck in your job hunting and a fantastic well paid positon at a company you will love
ReplyDeleteThank you bunches! Mixer by the cord. OMG!!! I love that. Now I gotta use that saying. It's just perfect. Sometimes, we just gotta take the mixer by the cord! Brilliant.
DeleteLove that new banner. Glad you are feeling more confidence.
ReplyDeleteShoulder back!
DeleteGood luck on the job front.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary. I liked your Freebie Friday. Clocks with USB are so helpful!

Hey Jan! I've got mushrooms on the shopping list. Been forever since I stuffed them. Yum. Thank you for your kindness and bright soul.
DeleteYay, Ivy! Any employer would be lucky to have you working for them! Good luck in the job hunt!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you. Taking the day off today and hitting the job sites again tomorrow!
DeleteGood for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, William. Happy 2023!
DeleteWell done you. I am continuing to send buckets of positive energy your way.
ReplyDeleteYou guys all rock. I really did suck in all the good energy. So much so, it almost knocked me off my chair. Much thanks! Huggs.
DeleteWell done. I could never Zoom. I like the new banner.
ReplyDeleteHey River. I got everything ready and it never happened. Ready if need be. To not do it gets in the way of us getting a house. So not fun for sure for me however, getting in front of the camera is something I've needed to push myself to do for awhile now.
Deleteawesome!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathy! Happy flatbread making to you. So fun and easy. Yum. We make wraps and all kinds of things with ours. Then also I turn them into baked chips/crisps. Crazy fun. Happy Bread Making! Got some spelt dough in the fridge fermenting as I type.
DeleteThat's AWESOME! Good luck with the Zoom Interview!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Angie. Interview never happened. I'm set up for the next one.
DeleteI can SO relate!!!!
ReplyDeleteGot fired, fell deep, got ... looong (boring) story.
Applied.
Despite people said I should say "I needed a time out" I told the truth. And got the job.
I wish you all the very, very best!!!!
Mix it, baby, you can do that!
So glad you got a new job. Sorry about the falling deep. Glad you're on your feet. How are you feeling today? Are you still sick? Hope better soon.
DeleteYEAH!!! Way to go.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann. I enjoyed the drawings on your page! Art, rocks.
DeleteGlad to hear you've gotten out of your head. I hate when insecurities get to me. Talk about negative energy, but sometimes I just can't talk myself out of that place. And how's the new mixer? Have you made anything yet?
ReplyDeleteHi Erika! Me too. I'm back to myself and that feels good. Thanks with the extra help from everyone. Here's to talking ourselves out of that way of thinking. OMG on the mixer. Today I made more cookies and more bread dough. Both spelt-based. So, so, so much fun. How are you today?
DeleteGood for you, Ivy! You got this.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I gotta do a cartoon that reads; I got this. That's too funny. Thanks, Alex.
DeleteNew Year! New Energy! New Banner! Glad you our going in the direction you want to go!!
ReplyDeleteHey Judee! Looks like you're making lots of good soups and foods. I commented though on my side, the top just spins and spins. LOVE soup!
DeleteGood for you! Happy 2023 to you.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! Thank you.
DeleteWelcome to 2023! Mine has not started out that great but hoping things change along the way.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about Chey, Pam. Very, very sorry. Biggest huggs and healing to you.
DeleteWay to start the year--being positive! Good vibes will help along the way and you got a lot from your readers, here!
ReplyDeleteHey Stacy! Thank you. I'm feeling like my old self again. Happy Reading to you! And also burrrrr today. Cold here. Not as cold as Christmas weekend though. That was crazy. Did you get that by you too?
DeleteFocus on the skills you have developed/refined during that time, what you can bring to them and what you want to do, Will you be moving your place or just yourselves and your pets?? Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteThanks! That's a great way to look at things. I for sure did a lot of stuff during that time. Awhile back we thought, move the trailer. Since we paid the mortgage off. However, after the last holiday weekend, with the water going out and the heat and just how broken down this place is, we need roof and floors need fixed, we decided to switch to a house. That said, say some crazy deal for land comes up and it's already plumbed (not sure that's the word), then we'll reconsider moving the trailer. Ideally though, no. We want to sell this and move on.
DeleteThanks for stopping at my blog. Happy New Year and hooray for a fresh start. Best wishes on the job interview.
ReplyDeleteLoved your peppermint cheesecake idea! Happy New Year!
DeleteWe all have confidence in you! Love the banner.
ReplyDeleteThank you bunches!!!! Here's to a fun and kickbutt good 2023!
DeleteIs my name on one of the Choc.Chip cookies?
ReplyDeleteHugs cecilia
lololol! Yes, I saw your name right on them. Teleporting you a batch in 3 ... 2.... 1 ....
DeleteBest wishes!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteHappy New Year! What better way to bring it in than chocolate chip cookies :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you, Anonymous!!!!
DeleteHappy New Year to you. Wishing all the very best.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole! Thank you. Wishing you good health in 2023!
DeleteHurrah, I'm so happy for you!! Did you move very far away?
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny! We're house hunting now. Exciting!
DeleteI'm glad you're back Ivy. With your personality and energy you will ace those applications :-) It's an exciting new chapter for you. I have missed so many of your posts so I've subscribed to Netvibes, I hope it works
ReplyDeleteHi Polly! Thank you for the nice words. I never heard of Netvibes. Love the name though, netvibes. Sounds fun!
DeleteHi Ivy, it's on your sidebar under subscribe to blog. PS I like your new header :-)
DeleteOh Polly. I had no idea that's what the subscribe thing was. I put the Followers gadget back on the blog to make it easier. I never tried to sub through Netvibes. Didn't even know that's what it's called, I just put that sub to post and comments up through the Blogger gadget. Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully the old-style followers gadget works better for folks. Thanks about the header. Fun to change them out.
DeleteGood that you are starting off the new year with positive reinforcement, that is a very important part to get you going :) Have fun with the new things you are taking on
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie! Loved your BIG LETTER cards. Lots of fun. This year to get my art on cards. Good energy is a must for sure. Thanks for stopping in and Happy Crafting to you! Cheers, Ivy.
