i will be the queen of 'i'll just throw this in here too' cooking

Like today, our celery was looking kind of sad. So I just threw it into the 40-clove garlic chicken recipe I happen to be making. Which I'm sort of adapting for slow-cooking in any case.

We are celebrating tonight! That is why we are making 40-clove chicken. I have a job! It starts on Monday! I think I will actually be able to gain marketing experience and knowledge. Woot woot for me! My labor IS worth something! They love me, they really love me!

Also, that is officially my exclamation point quota for the month.

This weekend we are going to a cabin with Greg's paternal extended family. Fun times, fun times. Last time I was so tired from school that I just fell asleep for several hours. This time I think I will manage to stay awake and have fun!

Alright my friends, enjoy the slowly-warming weather. . . . hopefully there is more of it to come!

the lancaster art collective

That's what I think we need around here. Greg found someone who graduated from Messiah whose press I can use for printmaking purposes, which is fabulous. But I still think a collective sounds like fun. Maybe Tim would let us join the Infantree, but if not, we'll come up with our own collective and make ourselves sound more official. At least that's my plan. I have yet to ask Greg. =)

It seems ironic that in the days when I have nothing much to do besides apply for jobs I can't seem to get around to blogging more. I think part of it has to do with the fact that I don't like telling the same stories more than a few times. So if I already tell a story to one person, I'm not likely to want to blog about it. And mostly I tell my stories to Greg. I suppose that's the general way a marriage is supposed to work?

I have a part-time job, on Saturdays, at a restaurant downtown that I find great fun. Basically I'm a waitress. It's nice to not have to have any kind of awesome skills besides basic organization and hand-eye coordination (although I did spill coffee on myself the first day I worked there). Go figure, my first day was on Valentine's day so we were packed.

Anyway, that's my tale from the city. Wish me luck as I try to find full-time employment before Greg is jobless!
