Hoo boy! I know I haven’t updated this thing since the end of April.\u00a0 But seriously: SINCE WHEN IS IT PRACTICALLY THE END OF MAY? YES I FEEL THE NEED TO SCREECH IN ALL CAPS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since we last spoke, dear blog, I have done the following:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. WORKED LIKE A DOG at a job that ends on May 28.<\/li>\n
  2. INTERVIEWED at a couple different places; things are promising but not set in stone (I won’t say anything lest I jinx a perfect perfect opportunity that involves me being out of the office most of the time).<\/li>\n
  3. MADE SURE MY GRANDPA WASN’T DEAD for 5 days straight.<\/li>\n
  4. TOOK SAID GRANDPA to the doctor SANS wheelchair (which was sitting in the spare bedroom in plain sight<\/em> but I for reals did not see it. It was early, man.)<\/li>\n
  5. FLOWN ON AN AIRPLANE to Chicago and from Milwaukee.<\/li>\n
  6. GOT RAINED ON in Milwaukee.<\/li>\n
  7. CELEBRATED 65 YEARS of my other grandparents’ marriage. Congrats my grandparentals!<\/li>\n
  8. CANCELED\u00a0MY TRIP to Texas (the wedding I was to attend got canceled in a dramatic, heart-breaking fashion in which we can conclude: some men (not all men, come on, but def this one for reals)? Are dogs, straight up.)<\/li>\n
  9. BECAME A WEDDING CAKE CONSULTANT for a whole other wedding. I’m having fun checking out local bakeries. My friend lives in Utah and is getting married here so needs some help with that. If the #5 wedding hadn’t been canceled, I wouldn’t have been able to make this particular wedding, so even though that makes me a horrible person, I’m glad I won’t miss this wedding – after all, I’ve been friends with Felicia since we were 6.<\/li>\n
  10. FIXED MY CAR to the tune of a broken clutch.\u00a0 I guess the universe decided to give me a pass on this one because it only set me back like $175.00, including an oil change. BUT STILL. I MEAN COME ON, isn’t the Jobpocalypse enough for this year? Ay carumba.<\/li>\n
  11. DEALT WITH RACCOONS living under my house. Raccoons are awful. And noisy. And because I know peeps I got a sweet deal too. Networking! It really does help.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I’m SURE there have been other things going on.\u00a0 But I am too too tired and fed up to even think about them.<\/p>\n

    Oh yeah, one thing that has happened that is pretty awesome actually, is that I got my Wii hooked up to Netflix.\u00a0 They send you a disc that you run when you’re watching something.\u00a0 I really like it and have added a ridiculous amount of stuff to my streaming queue. Currently I’m watching Farscape, which I missed the first time ’round as we didn’t have the SciFi Channel. I kind of like it but… Muppets\/Puppets! Kinda distracting.<\/p>\n

    I need cake, y’all.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    That’ll do nicely.<\/p>\n
