vacation

well, my week off was very productive.
we were SUPPOSED to go snowboarding this week, but 1) there was no snow, and 2)we are POOR.
which brings me to my next point...i got a JOB at PIER ONE!!! since we ARE so poor, and i've always wanted to work at pier one...i applied. wednesday after my CERAMICS class, the manager called me and i had an interview thursday. i start monday! yip! what's really cool is that i get to set up displays, check people out, AND wear a cute apron and nametag. seriously, so FUN! i don't get paid that much, but at least i will enjoy going to work.
ceramics this week was really fun. i made two bowls.
AND this girl in my class is DRIVING ME CRAZY! she's like super-potter and whips out these bowls one right after the other. and everyone in the class is like "oh, you're SOOO good, wow!! you've made SOOOO MAANNYY!!" and she's all non-chalant about it, like "oh, yeah. well...". and i just HATE it! not only because the bowls aren't even that CUTE, but because she's not even gracious about all of the flattery. the end.
i steam cleaned our carpets this week. i feel MUCH better about life.
mason is basically house-trained. me and aaron are like super-parents. i'm so proud.
gettin' skinny is going ok. ewl=8 pounds.
i saw a picture of myself at a work christmas party, and i almost CRIED. oh my gosh. someone should have told me eariler that i looked HORRIBLE and huge-round face. ekk. i'm glad that i've actually showed progress, but i've still got a long ways to go.
some girls from work got together yesterday for a scrapbooking party. so i decided that i should go. i'm not really a scrapbooking-kind of girl, but i need some friends, so yes. i went. but we didn't end up scrapbooking afer all. so yes. i still have my dignity. and spunkiness. so there, aaron!
think about me on monday, because i'll be having the BEST time!
happy marriage noel and patrick.
happy late birthday daniel (kelley's husband)
happy late birthday bret.

You got the job! Hooray! And you get to wear an apron? You know I'm fantastically jealous, right?

I hope your first day at Pier 1 was STUPENDOUS! I will write you a letter very soon when I get a bit farther on all my reading. Tell the husband and the puppy I said hello!

so as i was making my daily rounds in the blog world, i made a most interesting and exciting discovery. whitney has a blog!! this made me very happy for a number of reasons:

1) i miss my good friend whitney and often wonder what is going on in the lives of she and her "hunky husband" (direct quote).

2) i love blogs.

3) items one and two pretty much cover it, but any decent list needs at least three items.

in conclusion, welcome to the blog world! i feel pretty much sad and horrible that we haven't been in touch since you left, and i hope that we can renew the bonds of friendship electronically (and hopefully in real life too, when we are actually in the same state.) say hello to the hubby and puppy for me! (ps-excellent choice on the name mason.) have a lovely day!
