This week…

My mom keeps going to these wedding fairs/bridal extravaganzas and entering me in all the drawings.  So far I’ve won: $100 gift certificate to beauty brands, a white salad bowl from Halls and a pair of silver salad servers.  Generally, these fairs are free.  I think she should do this for a long time after my wedding, too.

I need to involve her more in the planning, although there hasn’t been a lot of planning lately.  I’ll send her an email.

 

Last weekend was Wilco in New Haven.  I got to see Erinn, and she got to meet EJ, and we waited in line for New Haven pizza.  It was pretty tasty, (but I think I prefer Lucali’s).   We made it on the late train and were asleep by 2:00.  And we had front row tickets!!!  Up close, super stars look a little tired and sickly.  I was most impressed by the new-ish guitarist, Nells, because he was awesome, and I am not usually impressed by such things.

Did you catch the eclipse last night?

The job search should start soon. I feel a lot of pressure (internally and externally) to get a job asap! I hope that happens, as I do not want to take a temporary job or anything while I look for “the” great job, but I guess I could always do that. Hmm. Be a temp and ride out the vast number of graduates vying for jobs this spring.

Shrug. But I’d rather get one asap. (:

Trends in the Cory-Barnhart house:

-Not too much given up for Lent this year, but I am trying to wake up earlier (I am a very bad waker-upper).

-EJ has started making mango-banana-peach smoothies in the morning, and I get part of them. Yum! (Most of the time.)

-Dylan was under the weather in his spirits last week. We made a Dr’s appointment – does anyone know about doggie prozac? Or puppy-psycho-therapy? I am a social worker, I should be able to talk to him, right? Maybe I’ll look into the literature. Hmm, not much there.

-American Idol season!

-We knew this before, but they are closing “our” bar. It’s a little like Cheers, really, everyone knows my name. And it’s across the street. And it plays good music. And the bartenders are nice people and friends. And the people are good people. And it’s fun. The other bars across the street aren’t like that.
