really now

Housewarming party this Sunday! Who's freaking out about all the cleaning? Because it's an open house, I'm not sure how much cooking I'll be doing; I believe some sort of antipasto setup will be lovely though. Dave has a huge midterm on Friday, so he's not much help around the house, which I mostly understand. It's his very first PhD test, so he's bound to be nervous. I still haven't found a job, although I haven't been trying uber hard. I always seem to be behind in one thing or another, and playing this game of constant catch-up is making me pooped!

real life

I need to write a resume. I always feel paralized when it comes to these things. Not that I haven't written a million already, but it's just difficult for me. I'm certain a large part of it has to do with the feeling that if I don't actually try then I can't fail, can't be rejected from a crappy job that I'm way over-qualified for anyway. Healthy and lofty ambitions, huh?

I need a postmaster taskmaster

I'm so bad about getting things done! Haven't posted for over a month, but at least I have the moving excuse to fall back on for that. I have twenty days to get the house totally in shape for our housewarming party, which seriously scares me because there is still painting to be done on top of finding places for the various accumulations of stuff throughout the house. We've all been a bit under the weather lately so last weekend was a bust as far as getting things done was concerned, so now I watch the days go by, being overwhelmed by their passing and my lack of oomph needed to get much done. All I want to do is sit and cross stitch! This is the obsession du jour, and I'm in L-O-V-E! It's so soothing and delightful. Everyone's christmas presents are either cross stitched or embroidered this year, thereby taking a stand against vapid consumerism, putting my craftiness to good use, AND giving people gifts they'll cherish! Three in one KAPOW!
