Under a Honeymoon

"I want to fly a kite and eat green apples and have a stomachache that I know the cause of and feel the mud between my toes in a reedy creek and tickle the lobe of your ear with the tip of my tongue." - Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald

Ain't Too Proud to Beg

Did I ever tell you about the excellent books that Wifers recommended to me? I can't remember. Anyway, I just finished Lost in a Good Book by Jasper Fforde last night, which is the second in the Thursday Next series. These books are funny and clever and I really like them. I especially love the little literary inside jokes. You should read them.

I checked out a book today about Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I am excited to read it, because I am pretty sure she was completely crazycakes at the end and I can't wait to read more about that.

I feel boring today. I'm sorry. Maybe I will be more exciting soon.

Send Out Your Ray of Sunshine




At the beginning of the month, CLRG and I went to Kennywood with his parents. I pretty much had to beg him to take a picture, but he agreed eventually and look how cute it is. I just love him. :o)

Speaking of CLRG... I am prepping to move into his house very soon. Last week, we spent evenings working in the new room on the third floor: removing nails, cleaning up residual coal dust, and helping put insulation in the ceiling. This week, I imagine we will work on the wall insulation and, if HatNick can get his pulley system going, we will pull drywall from the driveway to the third floor and we will put that up, too. Apparently, it would be impossible to bring it inside and up the stairs. I think it will be interesting to see how the pulley system works. The last time they did it, I wasn't there to see. I am really excited about moving in. We've been talking about the arrangement of our furniture, and last night we went grocery shopping and it was the first time we were buying stuff for BOTH of us. Since I will probably be over there every night this week, helping with the room, we planned some dinners. I'm excited to be able to clean the house and I am excited to be able to hang out with the cats all the time. It will be nice to have CLRG nearby more frequently, too.

I got a call about a job that I applied to! I have an interview this afternoon. Cross your fingers for me, will you?

She Held The World Upon A String

I fully intend to write an actual post here pretty soon, but I need to express my frustration with this whole job search thing. I seriously apply to a million jobs (that may be an exaggeration...) every week and ALL I ever hear is, "Thanks, but no thanks; You aren't the ideal candidate for this job; We've chosen someone else to fill the position." I totally understand that I won't be the best for everything, but I really think I should at least be interviewed for SOMETHING before I get rejected. I mean, come on.
