(no subject)
Spent the last week doing absolutely nothing. Life is supremely boring, but I assume things could be much much worse, so I'm definitely not complaining. Got the call from Old Navy a couple days ago.....they're not going to be able to hire me this summer. It's not me, it's just that they aren't hiring anyone at all.....not enough hours to go around I guess; must have been a bad year for Old Navy. Sadly enough I put all my eggs in one basket (or so to speak) and now I'm freaking out a little bit, scrambling around trying to figure out who will be daring enough to hire me for basically only 2 months......should be really really fun. Was hoping that my dad would have some work for me to do, sometimes depending on how many front counter people he has (or is trying to hire) at the time he can use some extra help, but unfortunately he's fully staffed and can only use me this friday because one of his employees is taking a personal day. If nothing else, I REALLY just need to get out of the house.....I'm driving myself mad sitting around all the time doing nothing. Guess I can cross "housewife" off my list of prospective future jobs....
Was able to hang out with one of my best friends from high school several times last week. Her family just finished building this amazing house up in the south salem hills up past Corban. Beautiful house and even more spectacular views. Plus getting to spend a little time with her has been great; she's always so busy during the school year and it's so hard to keep in touch with people when you don't see them on a regular basis no matter how much you love them. Keeping in touch is just HARD. I love her dearly though, and even despite the time apart we still just mesh well.....God sure had a hand in the intricate combination between me, Mel, and Brit. My strengths compliment their weaknesses, and vice versa....it's just a great combination that never ceases to amaze me. Unfortunately I've recently been realizing how God also brings new people into your life as he moves the older ones down slightly different paths. While I don't think that Mel, Brit, and I will ever not be friends, I know that things are soon going to change between us. Brit is getting married next May, something that I was just not ready for. Mel has to remind me that she's just in a different place than I am right now; she's ready to get married. It's just hard to let her go; hard to accept that our time as just single friends is slowly coming to a close. Not to mention that the "rush" to get married is becoming even more present in my life. As if I didn't feel behind yet, now I just feel light ages behind now. The really crazy thing is that I don't WANT to be married for several more years yet, but at the same time I still feel like I'm being left behind. I'm definitely ready for a little break from the "marriage stage" of life.......if people my age could just wait a LITTLE bit longer that would just be SUPER. Please!
So Brad's going to meet Brent tomorrow.....that should be very interesting. Brent's a little nervous that Brad's going to "hate" him because of how much I share with Brad, but Brad promises that he won't make any judgments until he actually meets him. Either way it should be very interesting.
Been loving the sunshine as of lately. Not a huge fan of the HOT days with the MUGGY breeze. One of my favorite things (when I don't have to do it all the time) is driving around with my windows down and the radio up. Nothing better than feeling on top of the world (don't know why, but it just seems to work that way) from such a simplistic source. Unfortunately leaving the windows down with a muggy breeze makes the combination almost impossible......you have to have at least a little bit of cool air in the breeze to make it work.....it's a pretty precise science. None the less, looks like driving will be in the cards for me a lot this summer so at least it's warmed up and I can enjoy it while I fight my way through I-5 traffic. Basically I'm like an I-5 whore.......ever since HS I've done so much freeway driving it's literally insane (plus all the eugene to salem and seattle to salem drives in the past 2 years). Surprising to find out that when I first started driving freeways were what I was most scared of. I actually didn't drive freeways with my permit until the week before drivers ed. and only then because I knew it would be a part of drivers ed. and wanted to drive it first with my daddy and not my drivers ed. teacher. Kinda ironic, I know. I guess I'm just cool like that.
Pretty good entry......try to beat THAT mike.....yep, it's going to be hard, I know.
