Is it next week already?

I've been very busy for the last few days. Two projects can account for this: Sarah and Praveen plan to marry in January, and I need some part-time work.

It looks like January 2nd for the wedding. We've already begun looking at reception sites. A bit of sticker shock there. Rebekah, and my little sister, Erin, tried on bridesmaid's dresses on Sunday. It seems they've decided on a style in Wisteria. Sarah loves that color, and it's a good color on each of the girls. Maid of Honor will be Rebekah, with my twin sisters, Erin and Robin, and Sarah's best friend, Adele down the line. How's that song go? "We've only just begun..."

The other project is my finding a job. This is not as easy as it was 3 years ago. I got two interviews, and ended up working in a gift shop within two weeks of applying. Now I'm knocking on every door, and coming up empty. I've been loking for a month now. I've gotten jaded when present employees tell me, "Yeah, I think they're hiring part-time, day shift. I'm not sure - go online to apply." Then nothing happens.

Applying for a job online is a lengthy process. It takes anywhere from 10 minutes to 1-1/2 hours. Today I filled out 25 pages with 4 questions each, and that was just about my personality. The biggest hurdle is my not willing to work evenings or weekends. I've even began to offer to work Saturdays, since David can keep Noah, no matter what the big kids are doing. Speaking of which, I'd better go to some more sites.

I wish I could go back to college again, for creative writing. I've thought of taking a course online, but between housework and cooking demands, and then helping Noah with homework and cello, there probably isn't time. At least I'm taking the time to pratice cello every other day. I make Noah practice for 10-20 minutes a day

So what else is new? Well, on Friday last, my mom and I drove Josh to BWI to catch a flight to Savannah, where he's studying architecture. Becka drove herself up here from Liberty, all alone. She was quick and resourceful though.

Isn't Peanut Butter Cap'n Cruch the nest best? I just ate some dry, with milk on the side.

Well, my eyes droop. G'night all
