What a week...

busy busy busy!

I don't have time right now to head home between one thing and the next, so I needed to kill some time in the library... which means blogging, apparently.

Well, first I took care of some other "administrative stuff" like submitting my resume to Target online, because I'm referred now by an insider... I'm way excited about that. I heard from someone that the way to get a job was to know someone inside at Target... and I DO now, so yes!! I guess I could see myself at Target... moreso than anywhere else I've applied thus far. :)

Anyway, so last night was a fun night--out to see Pat McCurdy... the guy is funny, but sometimes so offensive in what he says/thinks about Christians... I feel bad for him sometimes, just because he has such a misconstrued image of Christians and who we call our God. But hey, everyone has some misconceptions at times, all you can do is just be steadfast in your belief... the only way for someone to know who Christ really is, is through Christians livin' it.

SO... moving on. I am VERY excited all of a sudden about this weekend. Friday I was able to switch work shifts with a friend so that I can make it home to see my parents and go with them to the THEATER! :) It's so fun and I'm so grateful to have parents that a) go to the theater; b) invite me to go with; and c) are actually fun to go to the theater with!!

Sometimes I just feel so lucky. In spite of anything and everything and however stressed out I feel, I just sometimes can't believe all the good things in my life!! (Other times maybe I do end up forgetting--so if I ever do that someone should just be like, "Em! Go read your blog from Oct 26, 2005!!)

Continuing with the weekend... Saturday I will get to see Jess and the puppies(dogs really now) when I pick up my costume--a flapper dress and headband with a feather!! :) Then Saturday night I am not sure what the plans are... but I'm sure I will end up "out" somewhere in Madison. I just hope I don't get hit in the head with another soda can on State St!! (Yes, in one of the riots, the first year, I was smacked upside the head with a half full soda can. I think it was Pepsi. Figures.)

So yeah, as for this week leading UP to the weekend... busy busy busy like I said. We've got a candy sale going on right now for IBSA/Rotaract... anyone who is in Grainger EVER, you should come buy some it's a crazy good deal--2 real sized candy bars for $1!! (Not even the little cheapie 'fun-sized' bars... which I don't think are much fun at all!) But anyway so because I'm in charge of the candy sale, it means a lot more time and effort for me... which is good, but still just busy busy busy.

sometime today I also need to find time to bake/make some sort of dessert for tomorrow's Lifegroup meeting. I'm not really sure what to make... and not really sure when I'll have time to make it... but we'll see I guess! (of course this also all means I have to get to the grocery store sometime in there too...)

Also heading to a workshop tonight for "conflict management and member retention" for IBSA/Rotaract. I don't think we've got too much conflict, but it would be nice to know how to keep members around more. We start most semesters with a bunch (like 50-60) and end with like 20-30... not great.

this is turning out to be SUPER long... but it's just because I keep on rambling as long as I have time and as long as I can think of things to say.

So, I really do want to find another part time job for next semester. As much as I love the Fluno Center because of the people I work with and all, it's a pain because I don't really have the time to work as many hours as I need to at that pay rate. It would be awesome to find a job also that maybe had a little more to do with mkting or business... waitressing doesn't exactly beef up the resume too much. It's unfortunate.

So, barring some highly theological or philosophical tangent, I don't have a whole lot more to say right now. Unbelievable I actually CAN'T think of more to babble about. Normally that wouldn't be a problem. :)

oh actually no, one more thing. So I've decided I hate paying bills. Our electric and gas bill has been WAY more than I ever have had before and after calling to check with the electric company, they said it was actually still pretty LOW for the place we are living and the # of people. LOW. no way. Anyway so that stinks, we haven't turned the heat on yet, because we don't want it to be even MORE expensive but it is getting a LITTLE chilly. We all walk around bundled up all the time and I am thinking of designating a blanket to be my cape for the winter.

So there ya have it folks, my life in a nutshell sortof. Questions, comments and suggestions are welcome. :) Have a nice day!
