monday madness

ok, some exciting things that have been going on that i've neglected to note:



  • michie & scott have gotten engaged! it was a while ago, but it involved a long drive out to the country-like area, a farm, a diy bouquet of flowers and sweat. sweat from a hot-temperature-heat kind of way and not a hot *ahem* kind of way. i'm sure they saved that for later. in the air conditioning.
  • tickets for chicago have been bought - and only $119! we're going at the end of october - i'm so excited! i've never been there, but have always wanted to move there. so this is like, "research." {btw, was informed by jen that it's not only called the "windy city" because of the wind, it's because of all the windy politicians.}
  • i applied for a full-time library assistant position. oh, how i hope i get it! and hopefully they'll give me a pay close to what i make now. because truly, my job is sucking the life from me. slowly, surely, inexorably.
  • library asst requirements: typing test results: needed 70 keystrokes a min, can type 200 keystrokes a minute. written test results: needed 60/100, got 87/100. that test was harder than i thought it would be! analogies and math and grammar! crazy - it was like taking a standardized test.
  • my good friend from high school and his wife & his beagle, shajan & tina & watson, moved to tampa! i love love love when friends move closer to me.
  • crafting out loud this sunday was hot and muggy and sticky after the warm florida rains. thankfully, framboise lambic on tap kept us cool cool cool. afterwards, jen & brian came over for some 'v for vendetta' action. during one of the protest scenes, they used real footage that said on one sign, "bush you're a f*cking..." the rest was cut off. HA!

check out these awesome pics of the bbq last last weekend. : )

tonk is a bull mastiff! ruff! he'd eat our kitties alive. but only because he wanted to play, he's the biggest puppy at heart w/ the most adorable jowlies. a little drool-y though.
