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.

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....

Yay nieces!

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.

In OMGWTF weather news...at 4pm I drove to Denver and back with the top down on the car. Beautiful sunshine with a few white puffy clouds. Went shopping at Costco and the grocery store on the way home. Almost as soon as I closed the garage door there were two LOUD cracks of thunder, followed by heavy pounding rain, then hail, and now it is beautiful sunshine again.

Um, yes. And I know you probably still have people in Cruces, but my parents would love to meet you and put you up. Plus I can get us personal telescope tours if so inclined.

Speak to me of your soap nut experience, Jessica?

They're low-sudsing, cheap, all-natural, low-allergy, and clean like woah. You can reuse one batch for 4-5 loads. I haven't bought laundry detergent in over a year. I LOVE SOAP NUTS.

And I'm sold. Thanks!

My Penguin is here too. Even though I like a light carbonation, I think I am under fizzing. Once this heatwave breaks tonight, I will fiddle with it. But it's pretty and I think I'll love it.

Tauntypants.

Granted, she wants to stay in the area

This is my friend, who has tons of library experience, including management level, and his MLS, but was fired from his last job (did not get along with his boss). After being out of work for several months, he finally got a contract position. He could have gotten another full-time gig if he was able to move, but he's got a family with mortgage, so that was out.
