I'm looking for a job. I don't really know what I'm doing, so I'm not coming up with much. I have emailed the people at Sylvan to see if I can do some part time tutoring, but haven't gotten a response yet. I will probably call tomorrow or the next day if they haven't gotten back to me yet. I wish I had some idea of what I'd like to do, but I really don't. I just wish that when I looked online at job listings they weren't all "Work at home from your computer!" I'd rather have a job that they don't advertise on TV commercials and little plastic signs stapled to telephone poles. I'll keep at it though.
I'm sure lots of things have happened since I last updated, but everything kind of just runs together when you aren't doing much. Katie is back in Waco, and has been for a couple of weeks now. We read books and watch "What not to Wear" and play
Rummikub (When we played the other day we each won once. Although when we played with Stephen he made fun of us for being happy that we got to share the winnings. Stupid competitive boy!) We were happy to share the winning!. We also drive to the store and stuff like that. Kind of the stuff we would do during school only without classes. It's definitely nice to have someone else in the apartment!
Kristen was here last week for a few days. It was fun to see her, but I wish she'd stayed longer. I helped her move some stuff into her and Katie's new apartment along with Katie and Michael. It's a nice little apartment and I think they will really like it.
My other friend
Cleyera has apparently dropped off the face of the earth. =(
Katie and I went to Cinnamon and Chad's wedding last Saturday. We had a little trouble getting there, because
Internet directions suck! I hate
Internet directions! Why do you tell me to turn 3 times when really I'm just supposed to stay on the same road?!? Anyways, we got there late, but the wedding (what we did see of it) was really nice. It was my favorite of the 3 weddings I've been to. Cinnamon looked so pretty, and it was fun to see Chad again!
Holly, Katie and I went swimming the other day. Oh! Kristen was there too. Anyways, it was really fun, and especially nice to take a swim since the weather has finally started to get uncomfortably hot, as it tends to do in Texas. I got spoiled with all the nice weather we were having. We laid out in the sun for a while too. Katie and Holly have been back a few times since, and I will probably go back sometime soon. Katie and Holly got sunburned the last time they went out. Poor guys! That's what Holly gets for being addicted to the sunshine!
Katie and I bought matching flip flops the other day. In fact, I think it was the same day that we all went swimming together. In fact, I know it was that day because Katie and I ended up wearing different matching flip flops to the pool. We were like twin sisters. Speaking of being twinsy, Katie and I also bought matching picture frames. They are so cute! We actually got 2 sets of matching picture frames but one set is different colors of the same frame, and the other set is exactly the same frame. Anyways, our new flip flops are really cute. They are black with white polka dots, with a cloth thong. Very fun!
I've been emptying out my closet little by little. Maybe I will take some stuff to Amelia's Attic and see if they would like to take any of it off of my hands.
I finally finished reading Blindness by Jose Saramago, that Stephen let me borrow months and months ago. It took me forever to get into it. It was a pretty good book though. Then I read The Hundred Secret Senses, by Amy Tan, in like a week. It seemed so easy to read after reading a whole book with minimal punctuation. I really liked it. It was good like The Joy Luck Club but with more of a story. I've already passed that one off to my mom. In exchange she gave Stephen a book to read about these two people in Ireland that run a catering business. Now I'm reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I've only read a chapter so far, but it seems really interesting.
The other day, Stephen and I baked a blackberry pie. Stephen did most of the work, but I cut the strips for the lattice, since Stephen can't run a pizza cutter in a straight line. It is such a yummy pie. I documented the whole experience, maybe I better put the pictures of it up on facebook!
Lastly, I went home yesterday. I did one load of laundry (blue jeans). I bought some things at
Walmart (a picture frame, shampoo, conditioner, contact juice). Stephen came over for dinner (roast beef, mashed potatoes, green beans). I did a puzzle with my family (gigantic, lighthouse). I played with my dog (black and white).
Stephen just came over for lunch. I made him a turkey sandwich. I had yogurt. Now he's gone. I think Katie and I are going to the mall soon!
YAY!
