I'm lazy: this is stolen from an email to a friend...

My jury reporting date for the United States District Court has been cancelled! They will notify me if I will be needed to serve for any of the remainder of my jury reporting term. They thank me for my willingness (???) to serve on the United States District Court Jury. They ask me to press "1" to hear these instructions again.

Which means...I don't have to have any absences from school, and pay more in childcare than I'd get paid by the U.S.D.C.

Still...serving on an OJ'ish type jury...coulda been a moneymaker. :)

Wish me luck!

Well, I have a, not exactly a job interview, but one of those staffing services interview thing-a-majobs, where they time my ten key and see if I can type backwards and other such essentials. Loads o' fun. They seemed confidant they could work around my school time, and my kids time. I've already turned down a job that would have had me working 4-8pm Mon. - Thurs. I'd never see my kids that way. I'm confidant God will work this out for me, as long as I keep putting one foot in front of the other. He's taken such good care of me and the kids, how could I not trust in Him?
Besides, since the job is simply to pay for health insurance for me...I'd rather be insurance-less than be married another minute. And again, God will take care of me, insurance or not. But I'm aiming for the insurance. :)

Hmm....not much to say.

So.... there.

One "WANT" down...

Barlow Girl was in concert at my church last night, so Katie and I went and jammed with HOLLY and two of her kids. So, one of my "I want to"'s got fullfilled; Holly and I got to see Barlow Girl in concert together. Rock on.

Silver and Gold

I've come back into contact with two friends of my youth; what a blessing from God. First there was John, a good friend from highschool, and just in the past couple of days I've found Ken, a friend from Cincinnati Bible College. I think Ken was one of the people I was most comfortable with.

Ken and I invented the "Blue Daruschnia", which he just reminded me of. I believe it is blueberry schnapps and orange juice. Which we were too young to be consuming. But we were rebelling against the too tight parental-like controls of our college. I made myself throw it up; I didn't like the feeling of being tipsy.

If I remember correctly, he does a mean Robert Plant.

Ken, I'm glad I found you!

The Single Mingle

Well, I guess I have my first official "date?" tomorrow afternoon. Just coffee. Just chatting. But it's a date, I think. I think.
And did I scream that I got A's for my midterm grades?
I LOVE graphic design. Sunday, I will go to a thing at school to determine my future. No big deal. :)

Happy Birthday to me....

and maaaaannnnny more....

My annual fall trip

I have to go every year. My bones cry out for a view of the River Road in full autumnal bloom. My legs itch to climb the hill towards the stone and wood guts of an old cabin. I did it, and it was beautiful. As it is every year. I LOVE this season.

The Kev Awards

On the way to school this morning, I heard Gloria Gayner's "I Will Survive." Which made me think of Kevin Kline's moving dance performance in "In & Out." Which made me think of the fact that Kevin Kline is one of my favorite actors, which then led me to think of other favorite actors of mine: Kevin Spacey and Kevin Pollack. Which made me go "huh."

stupid blogger wouldn't let me post 2 pics in one post!

Olie likes the Honda, too!
