Sweden too. Mine is July 19th. My grandparents and I exchange cards and gifts on our name days. Sara was the wife of Abraham and the mother of Isaac as described in the Hebrew Bible and the Quran. The Hebrew name Sara indicates a woman of high rank and is sometimes translated as "princess". It also means "lady." That's right!

Happy Dimi Day, Dimi!!

I gotta do well in my interview this afternoon...this is the job I really want..

Good luck!! Just be yourself, convey your enthusiasm and you'll be awesome.

Thank you for your kind words...so many nice ppl on this forum

I've been practicing since yesterday, my speeches and all.

I even have some questions for the interviewer. I've researched the company, the services they provide, etc so I'm well versed...I hope.

I'm being interviewed by the vice president in about 2 hours time, which doesn't help my nerves any.

Enthusiastic is the goal.

Is it the veggie dip's fault? There's a reason I don't like veggies...

Hope everything works out ok for you.

I havent eaten it yet, so we'll have to see about that one.

Ups and downs in life. It took me many years to realize that it's all part of the journey and there's nothing wrong with feeling down from time to time. It happens. (((HUGS)))

reading all this stuff about name day, i can't help but to think of the scene in pulp fiction where esmerela villalobos asks butch what his name means and he says "i'm american honey, our names don't mean shit"
