Random Thoughts

My landlords are in Florida right now. I was told the mother of my landlady would be coming by daily to feed the cat. She's been vacuuming for two hours now. I'm guessing that probably wasn't what they had in mind.

To address the whole being laid off situation, because I had many comments about it... The company I worked for was actually great, I just didn't care for how the whole thing went down. I mean, I left there at one point for a job that turned out to be soul-destroying, and three months later, they took me back like an astrological prodigal daughter. Plus I got severence and crap. Plus, I've been SO overwhelemed with everything that it was a blessing in disguise. And people keep throwing freelance gigs at me, too, and I've wanted to try the whole freelancer thing for years but I've been a bit of a scaredy cat about it. So it's aaaaaall good, little peanuts. I do wish I'd sent in that resume to be the Senior Editor of foodandwine.com a few months back, though. Sort of.

Last night, I went over to Curly's to drink wine, and eat fish and chips, and we decided to abandon the screenplay we haven't been working on for one that is super weird and dark and just like us, and I can't wait until we start writing it, which we'll do once Idol is over, because that's very taxing. Also, on my way over there I turned a corner and crack! Something really wrong happened in my knee and I was doubled over in pain. I skipped class today because I was worried about what eight hours of running around a kitchen when I don't have health insurance yet would do to it. I watched The Former Roommate go through knee surgery hell, and that was kicked off by bowling of all things.

I'm skipping my birthday this year, as I'll be in final exam/final project hell, but I think TYM and I are going to take our jetsetting selves on a trip the first weekend in May, when I will officially be a chef! Any ideas? My parameters are within the United States and not too pricy. Also, we like nature and outdoorsy activities. And good food. He's in the Dominican Republic for work right now. I'm jealous.

I feel like I need one more item to make it an even five... hm. Oh yeah, I got an email from a publisher asking if I'd be interested in writing a book. Holy shit, right? I'm holding off on stressing out about whether or not I want to do it until I actually talk to the woman who emailed me. Well, that's a lie. I'm trying to hold off on stressing, and failing miserably.

That's all I got for now. Back next week.
