Representin' from the C-H-I

So the great job search begins... today I went to Old Navy, Joann Fabrics, DSW, Office Depot, and Mikasa. Hopefully I'll find something soon, because I need to make A LOT of money this summer. My parents are only paying for tuition this fall, so I'm going to have to pick up the slack. Oy. The good news is, it's a great excuse to buy cute new clothes. Which, in turn, is the reason I don't have any money right now.

So far good responses to the new hair. The first thing out of everyone's mouth is "it's so short!!!" And then after a little bit they tell me they like it, or that it works for me. Oh well. I like it, that's all that matters. And I took a 15 minute shower yesterday. 15 minutes, and I shaved my legs. And blowdrying only took 10 minutes, straightening 20. Overall, I have shaved 50 minutes off of my getting ready time. That's almost an hour for me to be doing something else. Amazing.

Blah blah blah, with all of this application crap, I'm starting to think about all of the plans I had for this summer. Road trips, going back to visit Winona people, concerts, the family reunion, a trip back to Kentucky... I'm having to cut all of this out now because I really need to work. I'm already taking off next weekend for Carla, Tim and Eva's visit, then I'm taking off again June 25 and 26 to go back to Winona to get my computer. aiuabiubawiubavuipbwouibawf. I thought leaving Winona would end the stress for a while. At least Grandma has a new battery and starts when I want her to. Which is good because I don't have Katie and Jared here to help me jump her if she goes dead again. Man, that sounds odd if you don't know that Grandma is my car.

I really don't have much to talk about. Tom got a new job, so he's out of the inner city and in the suburbs teaching now. Matt graduates in a month, and he's going to prom. Dad just got a new job (and a pay raise...) so things are going to ease a little bit in that department. Grandma N is starting to feel better, which really takes a load off my mind. Mom and Dad are going down to Nashville next weekend to see Uncle Bobby and Aunt Rosie, so it's just going to be Matt and me here for a couple days. Mom's really worried we're going to throw a huge party. But I've seen Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, I know what happens when you throw a party while your parents are out of town.

I'm rambling. Poop.
