Things going on in the Pickle's brain
Things on my mind:
Why does it have to be so fricken sunny and nice on days when I have to work? We're supposed to see Lila tonight, so maybe we can walk down on the beach this evening. That would be loverly.
I really, really want us to get this place we're filling out the app for. It is a nice 1600 sq ft, 3 bed, 2bath(+)? in a nicer more secluded part of Beaverton. The rent is a little higher than we were looking for, but the area, yardage, and fact that it has a 25 ft long walk in closet make it well worth it. This makes me happy.
I'm bored here at work. There is nothing else for me to do. I'm sure in a few months when I've got a job up in Portland, I'll be longing for these days of slowness. That thought actually makes me happy.
One of the last emails I received prior to pulling my resume off the internet was from a placement agency. When I emailed the lady to let her know that I wouldn't be looking to begin working until the second week in June, she replied to let her know if she could help in the future. I'm thinking I'm gonna call her and schedule a generic interview for the 15th of May. I can't hurt can it? I'm sure that she'll be able to line something up for me starting that second week in June. Maybe I'll call her in a little bit. That thought makes me happy as well.
In speaking with my mom yesterday, she is really gung-ho about moving to Portland. She said the only thing is my sister has to want to go. My plan was already to get my sister to see as much and experience as much of Portland as possible when she rides up with me for the move. She'll be staying with us the first week. She keeps thinking that when she is there, we'll be hanging out with our friends, or working, or doing something that will force us to leave her at the house by herself. I keep trying to get it through to her that I want her to spend time with me. That is why I invited her up there. I've wanted to get her up there all along, and now that my mom has given me the "secret" talk to get my sis interested enough that she wants to move too, I'm all jazzled up about it. I may get them up there yet!
My cousin Jeff who I saw yesterday at Easter dinner, is thinking about moving up to Portland as well. He has had a couple of friends move up there. That is so fricken cool! I would love to have him up there as well. We have completely different lifestyles, but I love him so much. I told him, should he want to come up and scope it out, once we have a house to live in, he is more than welcome to come and stay with us.
We got our fed tax money already. It is really going to help for the next couple of months until we're both employed.
The truck is dead at Jamers work. His dad thinks it is the distributor cap. I think we could afford to drop up to a couple hundred on it to keep it alive. Anything more than that and it probably wouldn't be worth it. James looked up the blue book for it, $600, so yeah, a couple hundred is about the limit to fix it.
Anyhoo, I'll toodle off now. I hope this loverly day finds all of you well.
