My little sis has her MA in English and her MLS, and she hasn't gotten a FT library gig in the...4 years? since she got her MLS.
Granted, she wants to stay in the area (and, um, I think she has sent out maybe 15 resumes, @@ getouttyercomfortzone, sis) but still.)
She has two master's and is an assistant manager at Border's where she has worked for 15 years, and she makes less than 20K. That is crazycakes to me.
Granted, I have 2 master's too, and make about $900 a month, adjuncting. Ambition, perhaps, does not run strongly in our family. Geekery, yes.
Okay I've Googled soap nuts and know what it mean a if my nuts are sticky though I boggle that no one rewrote that before sticking it in the FAQ. Speak to me of your soap nut experience, Jessica?
OMG bored. Why is it that my best friends always work opposite schedules from me? I love alone time in moderation, but I get bored without some social time.
If someone doesn't save me, I may be forced to clean out my closets.
Victory! At least, there was no bubble explosion, my clothes smell good, and they don't have baking soda still on them.
In utterly shallow news that makes me SOOOOO happy...the archives for Domino magazine, which I really, really, unhealthily loved, will be back online in a while. Someone else here has to share that love, I know.
They'll be att brides.com, which is majorly WTF? But I don't care. I saved every copy of that magazine that I had, but am missing several, and it makes me so excited!

My sister had her ultrasound today. I'm gonna get another niece!

Well, if you lived in the right city, things might improve.
If someone doesn't save me, I may be forced to clean out my closets.
And, again, if you lived in the right city, this would probably already be done.
Just saying.
Aw!
Aunthood is sweet. I just got wished a happy birthday by Dominic. Also, Tyler insisted on calling his brother today. When mom answered, he was all DOM-MI-NIC, which is awesome because he had been calling him Nomnic as recently as a couple weeks ago because of his hearing/speech issues (or Guy, which he still does. No one knows why.) Also, he was morally affronted that grandma, not Dominic answered....
Was taken out for a lovely dinner by a good friend. She is totally coming to visit me in the next couple years and we are planning a vacation to NM together (which sara should also be a part of).
Now we're home getting unsweatified. Only 2 of the ebay buyers have paid. grrrr. I want to mail stuff out in the morning. Still those 2 buyers had bought 4 auctions, so that's something.
