Bit of Ivory

You know why? ‘Cause I just spent the last 12 hours (give or take a few breaks here and there) walking around Disneyland. Yup! Lisa and Sarah and I have escaped to Anaheim, and boy are we happy about it. We’re also completely exhausted. My feet hurt, my back hurts, the back of my [...]

Number of resumes submitted: 12
Number of responses recieved: 2
Number of interviews had: 1
*sigh*
One of the responses called for an interview, but then called again the next day and cancelled it. The other one I actually had an interview at a dentist’s office, and I think it went pretty well, but I haven’t been called back [...]

I applied for unemployment
I updated my resume
I found a few more connections on LinkedIn (thanks for the tip, B.K.) and even sent a message [...]

Monday at the latest.” We’ve done the depression and the anger and the sadness, and now we’re all just kind of– [...]

1) I got my hair cut. Really cut. As in, it hasn’t been this short since I was in 2nd grade. I also put in highlights and lowlights. I’ll take a decent picture of it soon. I’m getting no end of compliments on it.
2) The new carpet is going in my bedroom tomorrow. Yayness! This [...]

From Leaky:
Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Named Among EW’s Favorite Fictional Lovers
I’m grinning like a loon.
Also making the list are some of my favorites, like Lois/Clark, Aragorn/Arwen, Leia/Han, and of course, Lizzy/Darcy.
(Oh, and remember how I was rejoicing in the sweater weather? Yeah. Yesterday’s storm, which was supposed to be nice and short [...]

It’s sweater weather. As in, I left my coat in the car when I went to lunch. And we haven’t had any snow for four days. It’s crazy, people! For the first time this winter (I think), we’re actually above average instead of waaay below it. It makes me want spring, even though I know [...]

I woke up this morning to at least 6″ of snow. Driving to work was a nightmare, as none of the roads I usually take had been plowed. At all. Now, I’m pretty good at driving in the snow, but the Prius was sliding around at 12 miles an hour. It was kinda freaky. Got [...]
