DIY and other things
In keeping with my New Years resolution to do more crafting, I've finally completed Project Jewelry Display! You can read a detailed post on it here, but if you just want to see the result and not read about the process, a picture is under the cut.
Anyhow, life proceeds apace. The job hunt continues, as do my pathetic attempts at networking. Seriously, how do people do this all the time? I'm a people person (I've worked in food service for years without killing anybody, that qualifies me) and yet attempting to network turns me into an awkward insecure mess. Blargh. I think it stems from my general unwillingness to ask for/need help, and thus I work against my own best interests. I need to try to fix that. Probably by just sucking it up and networking more. Gah.
Our balcony garden is doing well. The basil has doubled in height, the pepper plant has gotten super tall, and the tomato plant has four, count them FOUR blossoms! Hurray! I know it may all come to naught- we don't get a huge amount of direct sunlight, but we do get a lot of reflected light, so hopefully the tomato will pull through and fruit for us.
Possibly going to see the Avengers again tonight. I've fallen head first into Avengers fanfic, and I really would like to watch the movie again. I guess we'll see how we feel after dinner. It might just turn into, "Lets drink beer and watch the new Suits episode" so who knows, really.
