I vote for grey.  Do you know about www.sockdreams.com? ; They have great tights!

Thanks ladies!  I'll have to check out that website, Sakina. 

I got one pair black and one pair "Heather Graphite."  I would describe it as a heathered dark charcoal gray.  I think it will go well with the skirt.  When I got the skirt out to put up next to the tights, I realized it was actually a very light plaid pattern, not a tweed.     Well, I said I was no good at fashion details right?  LOL

I also decided to take a look at the business suits as they were having a sale.  I found a suit on the clearance rack and found a blouse to go with it.  I've never worn a suit before; I wonder if I looked as uncomfortable as I felt in it!  Well, the fit was right and it will give me a more professional look when I go on more formal interviews (the lady setting up the interview for the passport job mentioned wearing one if I had it).  I can still wear the blouse and skirt for the temp agency and other jobs where the dress is business casual.

Thank you, Drear!  I wore the gray tights to an interview this morning with a temp agency and I think they looked great.  They were a bit on the small side though.  They barely made it all the way up to the crotch and were pretty tight around the bum.  I am 5'8" and "big-boned" shall we say,   so I usually end up at the upper end of the size chart.  Unfortunately that was the biggest size they had in the gray, although I was able to find one size larger in the black.  

Tomorrow is the interview with the passport agency and I will be wearing my new suit.  I have some knee-high tights to wear with that.  

The cold is getting better.  I'm not having the sinus headaches and fatigue like I had been.  Still some nasal congestion and coughing, but I can tell it's less and less each day.  

Today after the interview, I came home and was changing into more comfortable clothes.  I noticed my cat, Yoda, staring intently out the window and meowing.  I went to see what he was looking at and:

I took a dish of food out to him and he ran away, terrified.  I don't know if he's feral or what.  I also don't know if it's a boy or girl, so I'm just saying he/him for convenience.  His eyes are totally yellow/green and have no kittenish blue anymore, so between that and his size I am guessing he is maybe 12-14 weeks old.  I finally got him to come back to the window and he just loved sitting there talking to Yoda through the screen.  I sat there for about 2 hours with him.  He let me get about 3 feet away and just sit there, but would bolt if I made any move toward him.  Finally I thought, "hey, what if I take off the window screen and put a dish of food on the window sill?"  Sure enough, he came right into the bedroom and I put the screen back on from outside.  Now I just have to catch him and inspect him for fleas, ear mites, etc.  I suspect if he's been outside all this time, it's a matter of how bad, not if.  The poor little thing was so hungry he ate a whole can of cat food and has no collar, so I don't believe he belongs to anyone.  Even if he does, he's clearly not being cared for, so I really don't care to try to find any potential owners.    Not sure yet if we'll keep him, have to discuss that with hubby.  At least we will get him cleaned up and take him to a shelter if we have to.  I hope there is a no kill shelter around here that will take him.  

Your Yoda is super cute!!!

I hope you have a happy result from your interviews!!!

I've never seen myself as a cat person but I'm melting.  My mom's always had cats and I had a couple but mine thought they were dogs and the last one my mom still has, barks.  I hope you get results with your interviews.

Woohoo!!  They offered me the job at the passport agency!  It's contingent upon passing the federal background check, but I can't imagine anything that would cause problems with that.  *happy dance!*

Congrats!!!!  That's wonderful news!
