oh holy crap.
What? Am I updating? It looks like I am! Indeed there must be something of high importance that has come up in my life. What is it? What... is... it...? OH! I remember now. EVERYTHING. Everything has come up!
My Pa: Finally cancer free! Though this is old news by a couple months for some, it hasn't been noted in the LJ, so there it is for those who didn't know.
My Ma: Diningroom makeover -- her hint to me was a picture of what looked like a painted wall... it was LIME GREEN. This will be interesting.
My brother and his family: Bought a house on some land with a pond! And got a new Rotweiler puppy named Duchess. I cannot wait to see the house and the dog.
As for everything surrounding me, there's quite a bit! Jamie secured his new job as an IT director of sorts (they have yet to pin down his exact title) and found out he will have quite a decent salary. After learning this we mutually decided that the 1 bed plus den apartment we were looking at for $1460 a month can be replaced by the 2 bed 2 bath 1100 square foot apartment for probably $1600 or $1700. I know those of you NOT in California will think these costs to be outrageous and I agree. But in the area, $1700 for 1100 square feet on the first floor is a GREAT DEAL. You can get an idea of the apartment here if you like.
My job is out of home. Jamie was doing contract work for dentist.net doing all of their web updates. (such as this item sold out so mark that on the website) He was being pulled on to do other work and suggested they pay me to help out. Well that lead to steady part time hours (probably closer to full time when Jamie starts his job in July) and $15 an hour! Holy crap! Yeah, definitely awesome for NOT having a degree in anything, and for it NOT being a factory job? Yes. Awesome.
Also, since I work from home I've embarked on a little business venture. It is called Pretties. You can see the website which is not up yet at prettiesgiftsets.com. Nothing there yet, but check out the MySpace page for real info! I'm selling handbag gift sets! I use the handbag as the carrier and in it will be accessories to go with it. My first run with trying to sell my product will happen this or next week after the rest of my products come in. It'll start with ebay, but if it successful I'll have a shopping cart on the website for it.
And to get me out of the house? I'm auditioning at a community theater for Narnia the Musical! Hopefully I'll get cast so I can meet some new people and have a hobby again. I've missed theater terribly! I haven't done a show since this time in 2002! That definitely sucks. So wish me luck on the audition!
OOOooh and I'm still going to be in Ohio next month! Hooray!
