peanut butter bread
so.....
I have decided to become a stay at home daughter.
old navy skirts really aren't that flirty.
i finished my fish.
ok, so here is my story:
my goal for the summer: TO GET A JOB
well, that was my goal. i tried. hard. i turned in so many apps, made tons of phone calls... and drove all the way to Oxford.
Actually. The lady that does hiring for st. joes pretty much guaranteed me a job...which i was counting on for when i got home. well... after many phone calls it turned out that she just couldn't squeeze me in.
I finally got a job working with Christine for G. Christopher landscaping. I am forever grateful to her for helping me to get that job.
I don't think i knew what i was getting myself into. granted i was sick... but it was such hard work. i came home the second day and just started crying. i know i didn't have to put that much work into the day, and i know that i could even do just part time... but i realized that it is so time consuming and i already have taken on so many projects, and really... i am a wimp. when chris said we would be doing tons more garden walls this summer... i think that was when i almost collapsed. i love the people, and the boss... it was so much fun to be around them, i mean... the perfect work environment...
i feel like a looser for not trying to stay in it. and i really hope that i haven't disapointed christine. something about it just didn't feel right... i felt like something was telling me that that isn't what i am supposed to be doing this summer.
needless to say... everything has worked itself out. after that day when i talked to chris and quit the landscaping job, i went out and turned in more apps and made more phone calls. no one has called me back. its the 'only in AHills for the summer' curse.
my parents have decided that i have enough work to carry me through the summer that i should devote my time to that and not worry about a job. i have been doing lots of odd jobs for my dad... some of them very demanding, and he is paying me for them. he has lots of work for me to do so i am almost as busy as a real job. on top of that i have been taking on random art projects as well as doing commissioned painting. also, my mom and nat and i bought some old furniture at a yard sale and we're going to do some rad stuff to it and resell it. we're also trying to put together a yard sale and paint random rooms in our house.And, i have been commisioned to make curtains for a few rooms in my house, as well as for my appt. next year (seagreen curtains!!!) so I have LOTS to do. so i think that is why i had such a strong feeling that by entering into the landscaping business i was taking on too much. i am really glad though that my parents recognize how much i am doing, on top of going to occ this summer... and i am glad that they are supportive and trying to help me out with this... it takes a lot of stress of my back :)
anyway. that big bowl of m&m's is srill sitting there....
