Every Rose Has it's Thorns

Today I want to ask for your help. Since I've been actively job hunting and anticipating upcoming interviews, I'm trying to prepare for those interviews as best I can. One of the typical questions that interviewers like to ask is, "What are your strengths and weaknesses?" Today I'll focus on weakness. It's a fair question but I dread the fact that I have to tell them why they might not want to hire me. I am flawed, and I might not be your most qualified candidate, but I don't want you to find out until after you hire me!

Just kidding. Sort of.

Ok, so I've read that the trick is to identify a weakness but then turn it into a strength--or at least put a positive spin on it. I'm wondering what is my "best" weakness for this question. What do you think?

Note to future employers: I don't want to spoil the surprise for you, so just stop reading. Thanks.

If it's wrong to Idolize The Pioneer Woman...

...I don't want to be right.

Late this summer, my friend told me about this blog site called Pioneer Woman. She told me I should check out her photography specifically, which is amazing. (Be sure to check out her Photoshop Actions under the Photography tab if you're into that sort of thing)

PW is also a very talented cook. That's probably why she was able to publish her own cookbook. The reason I sometimes I wish I were her is because she lives on a ranch in the wild plains of Oklahoma. How she ended up there with her Marlboro Man cowboy is a fantastic love story that she's told on part of her site, "Black Heels to Tractor Wheels." (psst! I heard there's going to be a movie!) I highly recommend making some time to read through it.
