Christ. I FINALLY have internet and nothing to say :-) I hope to have you all over soon for dinner as soon as my floor isn't covered in boxes and bags. Also moving into a third floor apartment with no elevator with six thousand books was a poor choice, but moving in with a guy who can carry all those books was a very wise choice.

Gahhh. Sean and I have been sanding and staining since Sunday afternoon, and we still haven't even laquered the damn table and chairs yet. Honestly. My eyes want to glaze over just thinking about it. Still, I really like the walnut color we picked for the dining set- it's just dark enough. They might still end up looking a little, well, hand-done ( ( Read more... )

Hmmm.... rampant activity. Work is definitely hectic. I now own a 2009 Matrix in a very hypocritical fulfillment of my childhood dreams (seriously, I RAG on people who can't get over what they wanted their wedding to be like when they were four, but I finally got an electric blue car, which I've wanted ever since Nancy Drew had one). Plus I got a ( Read more... )

Well, the good news is, I love my job- everyone in the office save one is great, I only answer to my boss, I am no longer the lowest rung on the office ladder (a first) and everything I've done is interesting. I still don't want to go to law school (much to Dad's chagrin), but this job will certainly do while I get my grad school applications ( Read more... )

I'M EMPLOYED! WOO! Hopefully I can now bid adieu to insomnia and minor nervous attacks. Unemployment was worse than writing my thesis, for God's sake.

Also I went hiking with my parents today and it was quite lovely (it has rained so now the falls are bigger) but I am TIRED. Bed for me.

I had an interview yesterday that I think went well, for a Commercial Paralegal job. It isn't quite what I want to "do with my life" but it pays well and would be a good stepping stone for other things, plus I could probably keep it while I got a Masters at night if I wanted. The lawyer I would work for seems really sweet, and she has to have her ( Read more... )

Mmmm... see, I would post more, but I'm such a boring human being. I have bought fabric for my wedding dress... "fabric" consisting of 96 individual lace appliques that will need to be hand-applied to a "shell" dress to be made sometime in the near future when I am not so fat. Luckily my Mom is a delightful freak of nature and is really excited ( Read more... )

I LOVE primary voting. It makes me feel so useful. Despite my vote, Georgia's electoral votes were pretty much already spoken for last time around. This time it actually matters (or not, as you will see ahead ( Read more... )

I THINK my sore throat is gone... maybe. Hopefully ( Read more... )

Blegh... I have felt generally under the weather for a week now. But there are a few highlights ( Read more... )
