Book #9 - The Job Offer

A few weeks ago, I finished book #9 for the year, The Job Offer by Eleanor Webb. I read this book in just a few days and enjoyed it. The characters are very likeable and you definitely find yourself rooting for them. Here's the description from Amazon:

After years in Boston and a year of working for herself as a contract consultant and adjunct professor, Dr. Anne Conner is ready to return home to work in her field as a marine biochemist and research scientist. With money running low, Anne jumps at the chance to interview for her dream job with the world famous Stanford Enterprises research company.

When she makes the final round of interviews, Anne decides to combine her time in Seattle interviewing with a vacation trip to her family's inn on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. The last thing she expected was to run in the object of her teenage dreams, Ben Carlson, who is on the island for his sister's wedding. Nor did she plan on the passion that erupts between them. Is their relationship only a vacation romance as they agreed from the beginning, or will it turn into something more when Anne moves back to Seattle?

Just as Anne begins to hope for more, the unthinkable is revealed. Ben is none other than her new boss. Worse yet is that he thinks that she only used him to get the job!

This is another good little book if you just want a quick, easy read. I've got 4 more books to go if I'm going to meet my goal for the year. I haven't started my next book yet, but I need to soon...I've got 4 more to read over the next 2 months!

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Dallas Skyline

Last night, the Richardson Eagles took on the Raiders of Skyline and fell to them 62-17. It's always hard going into a game like this against the top team in the district that is also one of the best teams in the area. I am glad that our players did not give up and played hard against them. We have two more weeks left in the regular season with a very slim chance at making the playoffs. I just hope our boys keep playing hard to finish out the season.

Season Record: 3-5 (2-3 in district)

Next week: RHS vs Richardson Berkner

Skyline's band is always fun to watch!

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Dallas W.T. White

On Friday, Richardson got a much needed win against W.T. White defeating the Longhorns 47-14. The team played a complete game in all aspects of the game and got the win. They'll need the confidence going into the last few weeks of the season as we have a tough last 3 weeks of the season. I hope the team keeps fighting hard and going for the "W".

Season Record: 3-4 (2-2 in district)

Next week: RHS vs Dallas Skyline

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Lake Highlands

On Friday, the Eagles lost another tough battle falling to Lake Highlands 29-18. Once again, the defense kept the team in the game. We will definitely win more games if our defense keeps playing as hard as they have and if the offense can step up a little bit. There are four games left in the season and the team will have to fight hard to get into the playoffs, but I'm confident they can do it if they want it bad enough.

Season Record: 2-4 (1-2 in district)

Next week: RHS at Dallas W.T. White

Friday Night Lights: RHS vs Dallas Sunset

Last night, the Richardson Eagles won their Homecoming game against Dallas Sunset! The final score was 71-6 and it was good for all of the kids to get to play in this game. I did find myself rooting for Sunset a little as they struggled and when they scored their only touchdown, our fans erupted in cheers as if we had just scored. As much as any fan likes to see their team win, you can't help but feel a sorry for a team like Sunset and want to see them succeed. The Eagles will have to step up their game next week as they continue district play at Lake Highlands. We're at the halfway point in the season...let's finish strong!

Season Record: 2-3 (1-1 in district)

Next week: RHS at Lake Highlands

Homecoming Queen and King nominees
