Don't really have time for a proper update, so here goes:
- Went down south for a roadtrip this weekend and saw my mom and dad, my brother, and Karen in Greensboro before moving on to Columbia, SC, and having a BLAST with Rachel, her boyfriend Brad, and our friends Ike and Tina (who are buying a house and we are extremely jealous).
- Got snowed in, in Greensboro of all places, and ended up not getting home until Tuesday.
- Brought home a new puppy, Bailey -- she's not ours, we are foster parents until Rachel is ready for a puppy (which might be as early as Easter, but it might be sometime in May depending on how ready she feels for her exams). Bailey is both adorable and good for Indy, but we are definitely already counting the days until she sleeps through the night....
- Officially working two jobs as of today: petsitting this morning, then my first shift at Books-A-Million tonight. This is good for the wallet, and probably for my self-esteem/sanity, but not so good for the hubby. He is stuck at home with the puppies all night. Plus after he leaves for work this morning we won't see each other again until midnight. Sucky.
- Might be adding a third job. Interviewing tomorrow for NY&Co. We'll see how that goes.
- Karen is coming to visit this weekend, and I'm both excited and nervous -- I'm just worried that I will have to work a lot. Nothing I can do about that, but it would still be kind of no fun.
- Andrew is also coming to visit this weekend, which means we are also supposed to have family time. This may prove to be far too much going on at once. We'll see.
- No one has yet bought anything from my etsy shop, which is somewhat disheartening. Additionally, no one ever comments on this blog, leading me to believe that possibly no one actually reads it, which makes the whole blog thing kind of pointless. If you do read -- the whole reason I took up blogging again is because I've been rather lonely, so the occasional comment would really put a smile on my face. Other blogs I follow end up being practically conversations between the blogger and the people who comment, and I like that idea, that connectivity. All of this to say, if you're reading out there, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know!
Almost time for my day to start. Wish me luck.

I read! :)
ReplyDeleteEtsy is very slow to start up, keep mentioning it to people, I'm sure it'll pick up eventually.
I saw pictures of Bailey on Facebook, I was wondering if you'd gotten a second dog. Now it's clarified. Heh.
Good luck with the two job thing. When Alex & I first moved in together, I worked first shift and he worked second. I left around 8:00 in the morning and he left around 4 or 5 in the afternoon and didn't get home until 11 or 11:30 most nights. Way suck. It's hard, but you do get accustomed to it, a little. Breakfast is a good time to spend together and make full use of days off/whatever when your schedules line up.
Good thoughts going your way :)
Thanks Jess!
