You may be disappointed, as some of you have come to expect from me (quite erroneously, I must insist) some pithy, witty writings based upon my life's times. (Not 'lifetimes.' That would be silly. I don't believe in reincarnation.)
However, peeps have been bugging me for ages (i.e. about the past hour) for a blog post.
Very well. I will provide sustenance for the masses, despite my writing deficiencies. I will pour sweet words upon your aching brows (sorry--just got an image of a medieval herbalist dumping alphabet soup over someone's forehead) and anoint the Balm of Blogging(TM) in your wounds.
You luckies, you.
So. Here I am, in Utah, hanging with my folks and my 18-year-old brother, who is soon to leave the nest (the same nest to which I have just returned) for a brighter, better life as a starving college student. (O, good luck, my bro.)
This will mean, of course, that I will be the only child left living at home. This will have been, I believe the third time (possibly the fourth? My memory of college is getting a little hazy--good GAS, I'm old) I have done so, and I have to imagine that my parents (in the privacy of their own room, of course) have started to realize and discuss just why Heathcliff Huxtable got so fed up with his own offspring.
Yes, I am in my parents' basement. Yes, I have no job. Yes, I do play video games. Yes, I am over 30.
Oh. My. Heavens. What have I become?!?
I must retire and weep.
But fear not, hope lieth on the horizon. Yea, it verily risetheth muchly bright morningish. Ly.
In short, I have a phone interview with a local library system on Tuesday. So, kindly keep your fingers crossed for me (but not if it means cutting off your circulation--seriously people, use some common sense!) so that at least I won't babble like a rabid monkey during said interview. Avoiding that would, I believe, raise my chances of getting hired. Slightly.
Righto. Now, I will leave you with a picture of a pig rooting in the mud. And that is all I will show you of my vacation to the Carolinas. Because I don't want to bore you. And pigs are kind of cute. In an ugly sort of way. Also, you cannot tell from the picture just how stinky this pigpen was.
Tata!

Beth, Happy Early Birthday! I know it's a little early, but Happy Birthday anyway! I hope you got our announcement and invite in the mail. I don't know if you can make it or not, but I hope you can. If you can't that's all right, I understand. I'll just cry myself to sleep that night because you couldn't come and I couldn't see you! Lol J/K! Say, just to let you know, if you ever get the feeling that you'd like to come to the "land of the sun" you are more than welcome to come on down and visit!! You'll definitely have a place to stay and someone to visit with. Lol Love ya', Kellie
Happy Birthday! Maybe tomorrow will bring you a job. Soon you could be 31 and NOT living in your parents' basement. Could be worse--you could live in mine and listen to herds of small elephants upstairs. (Although I personally would be tickled fuchsia to have you living in mine).
Beth, I seriously love you! You are so witty and hilarious! And I don't even think you try! ;0) Good luck today! My fingers are all crossed, and my toes, and my...legs, yes! I can cross my legs and arms too. (But mostly I'm praying for you today. That works even better!)
I love it when you write a new post... thanks for making my day!
And, fingers firmly crossed here (and as Becky said, many prayers offered, too).
Little pig, little pig, let me come in. Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your library in!
Hmmm...maybe empty threats are not an effective way to pursue a new job.
Never mind.
