Hello Bitches! I'm coming up for air after being BURIED in work (we're getting a new website up and running) and a long-term bad reaction to a vaccination.

Trying to catch up ....

I understand, Nora. I'm not trying to say that a person should hang on even when a datee says they aren't into a "relationship" but I see it sounded that way. I only mean that we can't expect all people to be perfectly clear about what they're looking for when we first meet them because THEY may not be clear.

Todd! I hope that the being buried is still with the new improved boss.

There's a really good deal right now for the French Quarter Wyndham. ($169 for two nights.)

Hmmm, I was just talking to my son Brendon yesterday about my promised trip with him to New Orleans. He is a big jazz fan and I told him after he turned 21 we would go to NOLA together so that he could properly listen to jazz, as in with appropriate cocktail in hand. I did tell him it would have to wait until after summer because I am not so fond of tromping around the Quarter in July. So let me know and maybe I'll make a plan too!

It's Nora's b-day the weekend of the 13th-15th so that is my plan. You should totally come!

Excellent! Let me see what I can figure out.

And people *can* change their mind but it isn't fair to expect someone not looking for long-term or forever to change what they want just because that is what you want. And roles reversed as well. People looking to mate and marry (or whatever) will likely do better looking for that with someone else who wants the same general thing. Even though sometimes people get together and suddenly want forever when they weren't looking for it.

Did morning birthday yoga (there were jazz hands because that never stops being funny to me and the instructor is adorable) and then planned to hang with Mom but, wow, we were not clicking. So I called it off and drove through the Monument with music blaring to jolt myself back into a good mood. I'll go back to her place for dinner. Instead I have gotten my eyebrows waxed and am getting my oil changed (I can see my house from here which I never realized until today) now. Wasn't the day I planned but why have a stressful afternoon when you don't have to? I'm certain I wouldn't have happily found the sundress I wanted if I was in a bad mood anyway. Another day. Today, I know where my towel is. Anything is possible.

YAY PEOPLE VISITING NEW ORLEANS IN MID-SEPTEMBER!!

I really really want to do this, even if I am not on facebook. Must think about it.

Oh, man--sorry, smonster if I was treating you like a delicate ickle flower

I didn't think you were at all, ita! I certainly was though.

YAY!

For a while now, I've kind of had an itch to find a position as a sound supervisor at a theatre. To be in charge of a department and make it my own. After I got such a great response to my resume from the aquarium job, I threw my hat in the ring for a sound supervisor job at a new theatre under construction out here, after they listed the position as available.

It was a couple of weeks of anxious waiting, but I heard back from them today, and they want to schedule an interview! YOU GUYS I'M SO EXCITED! The way he spoke in his response to my cover letter and resume, it sounds like I've got a very good shot at this. And best of all, I've got a significant chunk of the best and most sought after sound and theatre professionals in Los Angeles in my corner.
