Oh shit! I haven't updated in a month! :X I'm always looking at my friends' list so somehow that translates to "you don't need to do updates!" in my head. Oops.
I've been unemployed for a while. My days were mostly spent looking for jobs, spending time with my baby girl Madi and -oddly- spending a fuckload of time at the post office. I have sold a lot of books via Amazon. Amazon has a strict policy of "ship your order in two business days or we'll make your life miserable". Ugh.
Fridays I spend some time with Libby, since that is her day off. Lately we've been looking for shoes for our pole class. Actual hooker shoes are fucking expensive. In terms of class, we're having fun. There's a routine to learn and the other girls are really nice. Some of the music choices are nothing I'd be interested in outside of class. One song that's in rotation for the routine is "Change" by Deftones, which is cool.
On August 10th, Libby and I took off for Ocean City for a beach trip. I can't go long without going to the beach now. It's a little pathetic; I start missing the sound of the waves. The trip was pretty easy. Or would have been if I hadn't listened to my car's GPS. The inboard GPS is an epic piece of shit. So there was a bit of a detour on Rt 404. But we got there and went to the beach for each of the three days we were there.
The first night, Libby managed to talk me into riding the Looping Star, which is a tiny coaster with a loop. I was pertrified and couldn't open my eyes. However my most regretted decision was when I went on the ferris wheel. For some reason, I thought it would be better than the coaster since it was slow. I did not take into account that the ferris wheel was twice as tall as the coaster. NOT GOOD. We went on a bunch of other carnival type rides, which was fun. But NO FERRIS WHEELS EVER AGAIN EVER.
Next day: epic sunburn! 80% of me got crisped. Painful but since I have to wear a spaghetti strap dress in October, I took my chances with the sun. There was Phillip's buffet where I sliced my thumb open trying to eat crab legs. Ugh. I was a walking disaster that day. I tried to stay up late, but had to tap out around 9pm. Libby stayed up to play DDR (no big surprise; though I did play along with her a lot during the trip).
The last day, we went to the beach one last time (yes, despite the sunburn) and then to Ripley's and other parts of the boardwalk. The only treat I really wanted at OC was some donuts from the Fractured Prune, but the fucking place was closed when we got there! By that point I couldn't move too well with the sunburn. The only cure? SONIC. It was the type of pain that only cheese covered tots could ease.
Other than that, I've been stalking Borders as it has been going out of business. And working on Paul's bday presents/card. He really enjoyed it along with the Shilla bakery cake and Bon Chon chicken I got for his bday party. After that party was Jen's bridal shower. Which was a fun, yet vaguely awkward family member event. Good times.
I'm officially back to work as a casual employee for my previous company. Woo! It's for a 3 to 4 month contract, which is cool. I'll be doing some things that are a little different from the normal graphic design work I was doing before. Good resume fodder.
Wow, this entry is long. I hear my mom apologizing to my dog, so I'm going to see what kind of damage my mom has done. :P |
