Good God! Has it really been that long?? Jeez....I've meant to blog for weeks now and I just ran out of time. Yowza.
Let's see. Let's recap. We got more folks at the library and it's made a world of difference. Some of the new people really annoy the piss out of me, but if they do their work, I can deal with them.
I picked up a few shifts at Noodle again for extra money. Gotta pay for our U-haul when we finally move. I started my resume, but it needs a lot of work. After checking out the few job openings in Minnesota right now, it's going to be really hard to find a job without having a Master's. It seems that even the lamest, lowest paying job requires one. Im scared, but hopeful that the universe will help us get there sometime soon. I miss it. I dont hate Atlanta...and I love my friends here. Its just that the traffic and heat and roaches and smog really get me down. I'll miss it---I've been here the longest I've ever lived anywhere except the town where I grew up. So Atlanta will always be one of my homes. Im just itchy to go somewhere else...and be within driving distance of my family. I miss them. I really do. (But I still want to be far enough away that they're not all up in my business.)
Today we went to the Decatur Arts Festival. It was nice, but crowded and hot. We resisted the urge to buy expensive paintings and crappy but delicous food and jewelry. Instead we bought two pretty bowls and a nice butter tray at By Hand, one of the best stores in Decatur. (The butter tray is for Jeremy's mom as a birthday present.)
Tonight we're going to see Andrew Bird at the Earl....he totally kicks ass. He's weird and wonderful and has a new album out...Im so excited!
Tomorrow I work a double at Noodle. Monday Im off from the library. And then its June, my craziest month of the summer. We have so much going on...dinner parties, work and work and work, trips to MN and to Nashville, camping and running around. And tons of people that Im overdue to see...Keith, Dave, Chenise, Kim, Randall, Leah, Diana.....I need a few more hours each day!
We've been going to the gym nearly every day, working out like fiends. You wouldnt be able to tell from the scale...it just stays where it is (damn scale!), but Im not gonna stop until I finally reach my goal. This is it. Im tired of saying I want to reach it but then I get lazy or sabotage myself. Im finally going to lose these 20 pounds so I can stop bitching about my body.
Otherwise, all is well. The garden is awesome and growing like wildfire. I love it! My family is doing well. We'll be seeing Jeremy's mom soon. It's all good!!
