What I didn't say is "no way in hell, buddy." Not unless I get a different position. And even then I don't know.

I did get some good news this afternoon, though. There's an office job opening that's about a 10 min drive away from my house, and the temp agency submitted my resume for the job. However, I was the 3rd person they submitted, so who knows if I'll even get it. I'm going to call the agency first thing tomorrow morning to see what's up with that, since they were supposed to call/email me back by the end of the day but I never heard from them. It's a higher paying job, and it's a long term (6-12 months) contract, with a potential raise after 3 months. So that's pretty good! We'll see what happens.


We don't have very many good record stores around here. We used to have a 3 story HMV building downtown, which was fabulous, but I heard that it recently closed. What a shame! They had 2 floors of music stuff, and one floor of movies/TV shows, etc. It was a great store to go into. I wonder what will take its place...

Providing I'm not working next week, I'm going to spend a full day downtown just having fun and maybe doing a (very little) bit of shopping before going out to dinner with my BFF that night. I'd obviously prefer to spend the day having fun and being outside, but if I'm working, that's okay too.

Good news about the next potential position, Thora. And dinner with your friend (and a little shopping) sounds nice too. I went shopping briefly this weekend and bought a pair of brown suede ankle boots for $16 (Steve Madden) and a sweater on sale at the Gap for $15. It was a good sale day. I'm so cheap - I usually balk at spending more than $20 for anything that's not athletic gear (that same day I spent $17 on goggles and $40 on a new race top)

Once again, I have to say, how WEIRD would it be to be a rock star and have people screaming for you all the time. I don't like it when 5 students ask me questions at once

There have been many Warrior Dashes here and I just do not have the upper body to do those - yet. Man, what my trainer made me do tonight. I felt like I was on the Biggest Loser. I did ropes, medicine ball, push ups off the Bosu ball and boxing drills. Guess what? I have shoulders!

And my uterus would be flinging itself. It would be screaming, "Impregnate me now!" if they played Hawkmoon live.

If any of you are with me should I ever meet Bono and you bring this conversation up (Amy's gonna fling her lady parts at you in concert), I will deny I said this....maybe.

That looks awesome!! There's a location near me in August...

Thanks! I hope it will work out. I should have some fun money on that day (it will be my birthday), plus it's supposed to be sunny.

I'm totally cheap when it comes to clothes and stuff too. I NEED to buy a waterproof jacket for when I run, and that's going to be a painful purchase. I'll probably use money that my family will send to me for that.

I so very desperately need new running shoes. I'm still wearing the same ones from last year while training for the marathon. But I have to wait until after our vacation for that. Sucks. My legs are like, 'really? Can't we splurge?'

[zuropa_fit]

Amy, I'm not sure I have the upper body strength for it either. In fact, I'm considering asking Mr.Z if he'll do it with me just so he can help me over a couple of those walls.

Ooh Thora - B'day!!!!!! Glad you've found a way to make it a good one. I'm terrible at remembering and don't get notified of such things so you'll have to remind me/us.

Oh yeah, when do you leave? Next week?

I probably won't even remember my own name!

Next Tuesday. We are off to sunny Florida for a week with the in-laws. Yikes. But 2 of those days are in Disney. It should be good. After that, I might be able to squirrel away $60 for my shoes. But I need to try on some new styles.

[Moonlit_Angel]

Sounds fun, Grace!

I'm SO excited to sleep in a little bit tomorrow.

Sleeping in .

Ah, okay. Well, that's cool that the office sounds pretty decent from what you've noticed so far, hopefully the office will be cool as well. You're welcome-as always, rooting for you with ths.

Forget my uterus flinging itself at Bono, it'd be all I could do to keep MYSELF from tackling him if he did that song.

Tara, hope your stuff gets here soon!

In other news, can I please marry Stephen Colbert? Please? He's killing it tonight on his show.

I definitely do NOT have the upper body strength for some of those obstacles. Doubt I'd be able to get the strength by August, but you never know. It's a LOT pricier than the other runs that I normally do cost, and it's half the length. I'll have to keep it in mind for the future.

I'm not a huge birthday person, so I probably won't bring it up again. I never like to have a party or anything - I just want to spend time with my BFF, or if my parents are around, I like to hang with them. I've had some BAD birthdays in the past, so as a result I keep them low-key and non-eventful so that there's no chance of them going bad.

Yea, me too. I emailed them and told them I paid (yes, I am that excited!), and they told me it won't ship until Wednesday, and that I will recieve a shipping confirmation.



Well, U217 is gonna marry Grace's profile pic, so I don't see why not.

LOL, ooh, that's a good idea! I didn't think about doing that, I should do that next time I order something offline! Sounds good, though-after that it shouldn't be much longer, then!

Woohoo! *Runs off to grab a ring, find Stephen, and propose*

Thank you, Tara!

I don't believe I've seen the thing that's from! I'll have to search it out.

(Also, whoa, Edge's hair is as long as mine used to be at one time !)

I may or may not have almost fainted when I saw this pic.

And on that happy note (or pic ), I'm off to bed.


G'night all! Sweet dreams!
