I met up with someone (a potential job lead sent to me by sorceress_medea) to discuss working at Primerica. I'm not sure how I feel about a career in financial planning. It didn't leave me cold or make me feel oogie, but I'm going to do some research into the company itself to clarify whatever decision I make. I do have an appointment to meet with him at the office itself on Monday, so that gives me a few days to do some thinking/digging around.

Afterwards, I went into Ten Thousand Villages and poked around. I wanted to buy lots of Christmas ornaments, not because Christmas is my favourite holiday, but because the ornaments there are unique and interesting and better than anything you'd find at a mall. Lack of funds aside, I did see something that I did want...a fish teapot. It had a spout coming out of the mouth and the handle was the tail and the fin was the lid. It looked really nifty. I don't need it, per se, but it's fun and would be entertaining to serve tea in.

I did, though, buy something...well, two things. The first was some chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but Cocoa Camino. *delightful shudder* It's probably some of the best chocolate I've ever eaten, and to make things even more decadent, they also produce cocoa powder as well as dark hot chocolate. So I buckled, and bought some chocolate. It was delish. :D

I also picked up something for me...lip balm. I know it sounds kooky, but I love buying odd lip balms and trying them out. My usual is from Delirium (Dirty Girl's Get Ready Raspberry). It's nice when it's new, but near the end it becomes gritty, which is less than pleasing to my lips. Ten Thousand Villages is now carrying body products and I decided to try their lip balm. So far, I like it a lot. And at nearly half the price of the Dirty Girl, it's a bargain.

Well, I really should go and work on my novel. Le sigh. I'm toying with the idea of bouncing back and forth between two projects. One the one hand, it's likely I won't finish either, but on the other, it will give me something else to focus on if I should get stuck on what to write next.

I actually had no idea he was talking about Primerica... I'd been left with the impression that it was his own business (which might very well have been me not listening hard enough...). You're wise to look into it... best of luck with it, either way :)
