stop the press!

I got my hair cut today.  I spent most of yesterday shopping for nice shoes (i.e. not made by Chaco, Keen, or New Balance) and a nice purse (i.e. not made by Timbuk2, Sherpani, or even Fossil).  Why all the gussying up for this decidedly ungussied girl?  I have an interview next week!  One that I'm infinitely excited about!  <i>And</i> its on my birthday!  That has to be a good sign, right?

I'm giddy with excitement and the wait until Tuesday just might kill me.  In the meantime, to keep my mind off things, the fiance, the dog, and I are headed back towards Leadville tomorrow (god forbid we spend a weekend NOT in and around Leadville!) to climb <a href="

Elbert</a>.  If all goes well this will be my second fourteener (not counting Quandary, which we made it up over 14,000 feet on, but in the end had to bail on reaching the summit due to weather/snow conditions) summit, and the fiance and the dog will lose their fourteener virginity.  

I'm just hoping to not fall on my face or get some ferocious sunburn which would possibly undo all this hard girly-ing up work I have done for my interview!
