Good luck tomorrow @cyndiesstuff ! You got this! The situational interview is what we do at my work also.

So each perspective in the scenario: The client, your boss, your employee, the team,…

Love the Frogs! I know this is late, but thought I would post my work in progress or starting point for my weekend gardening. We have a small property, in a very populated area, so I don't have much to do, but really need to find some plants. Hopefully perennials to replace all my awful weeds..

@nstephenson01 congrats to you for the 50lbs milestone! Woohoo! Doing great. The baby goat picture was so cute! I would be sneaking one of those out to play with at home. Hope they come visit again soon. Sorry to hear about your friend in California, but do hope you take time to enjoy reconnecting with your husband!

@phoebe112476 so happy to hear about your new home! How wonderful that you are a foster mom, so many kids need help. I hope all goes well with your little one over the summer and her new school. And way to go on 60 pounds gone!!!!! That is definitely worth feeling good about! So awesome!

@hope002 - you should eat. But is it the quantity? Or the type of food? Is it buffet style or sit down? What worries you? Is it like me where you can keep eating and don’t even realize you’re no longer hungry. But mindlessly eating for pleasure? You need to figure out what you want to do. So if you were to sit back and…
