1. My resume and other appropriate documentation is submitted for the promotion opportunity. From my reading of the requirements, it seemed slightly tailored to my skills. There’s one skillset that neither of my competition have exactly - the budgeting portion. There was one small item that I don’t have actual experience, although I’m aware of how to do that particular task and it’s relatively minor in the grand scheme. So now we wait and pray. I’m hoping that a decision is made before we leave for California.

2. I want Petrozza to win Hell’s Kitchen. I like Christina, too. But I think Petrozza has more experience and the maturity to take on Ramsey’s restaurant. Plus, I just like him. I’d love to cook with him and have a good conversation about food. Of all of the HK contestants, he is the most interesting and likeable.

3. We’re probably going to start looking at houses again in the next week or so. And I’m also starting to think about how I’d like to decorate our new house - color schemes, styles, etc. The easiest thing to start with is paint, so I’m already starting to think about colors I want in particular rooms. And I’m starting to think about how to redo Jesse’s little boy room since he’ll be ready to transition out of the crib - I’m leaning toward bypassing the character room idea and go straight into a slightly older scheme, but include fun toddler-ish elements that can be removed later as he gets older.

4. We’re able to leave early tomorrow, so that will be nice. I’m happy for the long weekend, although it is packed. We have a birthday party on Friday afternoon/evening. I’m on worship team this weekend, so we’ll have practice Saturday afternoon before the service and then I’ll be there Sunday morning. But I’m excited to sing again - I’ve started to miss it.
