I took because I have way too much time on my hands, and am procrastinating horribly about doing the dishes.

I haven't dated anybody since Derek and I called things off last summer, and I was starting to be really okay with that, but last week at the ice rink I met someone (he's a hockey player). We've really hit it off, and all of this is a suprise to me. I've only known him for a week, but I haven't been this intense about someone... in years, and I ( Read more... )

So, I haven't been here in... a while. But that's 'cause I've been at, like, 20 places at once for the last few months. I need a regular, full time job instead of four of five different part time-ish ones. Current odd jobs include judging gymnastics for the schools round here abouts, teaching several new violin students, still putting in some ( Read more... )

After a couple of weeks of nanny duty, and a weekend of grandmother visiting, and three days of not doing much more than sleeping, eating, and, well, dancing, I finally feel like my normal self again. Watching the kids (an eight year old and a four year old, both of them adorable, but very energetic) was definitely a learning experience. I don't ( Read more... )

My baseball league held it's awards dinner tonight, along with it's fund-raising raffle. Now, we've sold about 300 tickets for this raffle, 10 of which were bought by my family. A large and expensive restaurant in the area donated a couple of $25 gift certificates to the auction. My mom won the first one. A few items later, they drew for the ( Read more... )

I went to the local Really Big Fair a couple of days ago to cheer on my cousins as they competed in 4H events. I'm quite proud of both of them, as Whit earned a blue ribbon for her speech (very well done, and suprisingly dramatic!), and Andrea placed with a red or higher in all of her riding events, finishing with a third place in her group for ( Read more... )

Well, I'm off to the largest rendezvous in the state this next weekend, thus I suppose upping my nerd credit by adding history re-enactor to Tolkein nerd. It should be much fun! Just getting out of the house and camping out for the weekend will be great. And I get to play dress-up, in my 1870's costume I'm going to try and sew within the next 24 ( Read more... )

I've pretty much made up my mind that I'm going to try flipping houses. So I went to Borders and bought a couple of books on working in the real estate industry, and I'm going to talk to my next door neighbor about it tonight (she's a real estate agent). My mom seems willing to help fund the loan for the first flip, and hopefully I'll be able to ( Read more... )

Since I am still unemployed, I find myself contemplating a great many things. I just can't bring myself to be happy about working a job that serves no greater purpose than to provide me with just enough money to pay my bills, and maybe allows me to purchase an extra pack of Tic-Tacs every other month. I wish I could find a job that would somehow ( Read more... )
