I got a friend coming over this evening. We are going to watch Dark Side of the Rainbow (Thanks Laga!). And he has Time Warner, and is a few weeks behind on Dexter, so we will watch those as well. So I'm cleaning/tidying now. One load of laundry in the washer. Sheets/towels next. Just finished tidying the bathroom. Well. To be honest, that was a to-do item not needed for company, but one I've needed to do since I moved in. Mom put the shelf liner in the drawers, but couldn't figure out how to put the drawers back in the cabinet the right way. So, finally fixed those, and reorganzied them and medicine cabinet. Next is the dishes. Then food shopping. So by the time friend comes over, I'll probably be exhausted, and fall asleep during the movie. Ha.

Meara, sometimes no plans is more fun. Then I just lazy around the house. But, I'm a bit more introverted than you, so I love alone time.

Yeah, I get plenty of alone time. I think I decided I'm going to paint my living room. I've had test swatches up for at least six months. Time to do something about it. ...as soon as I get up off the couch. Yep. Maybe after some more food, too.

Ooo! If you are in the painting mood, I could use some help doing touch ups. ... Yeah, didn't think so. Took me a good 6 months to paint the closet doors. So much work for paint, what with the drop clothes, tape out, paint, tape off, clean up. Blah.

stares at resume, sobs

I had forgotten how much I hate updating my resume. Thankfully I have a solid base to work from, because Strix did awesome work on it for me the last time, but ugh.

Plus I'm trying to create a version of it that will be very attractive to the hiring people at Cheezeburger.com, 'cos they've got a position open that would be PERFECT for me. I just need to emphasize my writing and social media skills, and my resume is currently All About The Tech Industry.

Is that something that your Gothic Charms School work could support, Jilli? 'Cause that's an awesome site. And it shows that you're Twitter and Tumblr aware.

It is, and I'm calling that out right in the intro section. It's the massaging the rest of the Super Tech Skills into something more media-friendly that is vexing.

"... and I am fabulous at book tours"

What? I thought you were!

Since this is the resume that's going to Cheezeburger, I am totally putting the "freelance bio-exorcist" job listing in there.

Netherworld, yeah! Gotta include that, Jilli!

Jilli, that would be a great job for you. Tons of job~ma.

It was either the ~ma or the power of complaining, but as soon as I posted about my stomach, it started to get better. I was able to go to G's party without incident, and we had a great time. All the little 4 and 5 year olds were awesome. No one fought or threw a tantrum, and there was hardly any whining while they bowled and had pizza, cake, and ice cream. TCG and I played skeeball, and after everyone left, we rented the pool table for an hour and played a couple games(we each won 1). There is a great used bookstore in the next town over from where the party was, and we stopped there, where I bought more books I don't need. Then a quick trip to the market, and now we're finally home. TCG is trying to cut the grass before sunset.
