Can't somebody deliver some to you? Come on LA-istas, ita needs you!

I'd do it, but the drive from Kansas City would take too long.

I'd deliver ice-cream! I'm starting that weight loss infomercial tomorrow, so today I'm like how many high calorie items can I eat??? Pizza and ice cream is sounding pretty fab.

I would love to be looking for a new job, but I can't find jack shit to apply for! It's annoying.

Aww. My mom just got a new assistant at work. They offered a 50,000 salary. She offered me the job last weekend, and I went through all kinds of painful contortions before turning it down. If I hadn't been so ridiculously over-the-top miserable in NY, like, crying myself to sleep every other night, I probably would've figured out how to move cross country, break my lease, and reorganize my life in one week. Because the chances of me making anywhere close to that at my current job is depressingly low. Maybe in about seven years, if they don't put an upper limit on salaries. Which sucks. And if I wasn't so awful at resume writing I'd have more hope of fixing it, but as it stands, it made for a really rough weekend of self-reflection.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh.

Sorry, I meant to add that if I'd known you were looking, Jesse, I would've given you a head's up. Since you're so conveniently already in NY. Not that my mom works for a non-profit, but the office is half a block from Bloomingdale's, so that's kind of its own reward.

Oh, most of my problem is I'm looking for a really particular kind of pretty senior job, and that's what's not out there. But thanks! Although, the reduction in my commute if I worked near Bloomingdale's would be incredible.

If it's any consolation, Alibelle, working for relatives, even if it's not a direct-boss situation, can be fraught with minefields. YRMV, of course, but it's always a situation to be thoughtful about venturing into.

I have, um, tidied and made bed and put away clothes, and balanced Quicken and, um, am about to do some laundry.

That's pretty slender for a Sunday, really.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Cute shoes, Jesse. I need to do either laundry or something else useful, but somehow that doesn't seem to be happening.

Our wings are not tired.

Perkins, I am still hopeful for some Afghani food with you tonight. Would 8 work or is that too late?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I have done jack shit today. Although I did make it into church after skipping yesterday. But the pastor wasn't there; his mother just died. So it was all singing all the time.

The SO cooked, so I didn't even do that. I called my mom. Laid around on the bed and played with the dog. Made a run to the local mom & pop general store for snacks. Watched some football, and I'll be watching more in a bit when the Colts hit the field.

Other than that? Nada. I repartitioned my hard drive. Does that count? Better go feed the dog.
