the glowing elevated trailer on the river....

i'm waiting for this clinton library ceremony to get started, so apparently i have a few minutes to catch up this blog. happy clinton library day? it seems like a big holiday around here...lots of people are off from work (my mom decided to skip b/c traffic was going to be horrible). it is kind of weird to see clinton and bush standing together having a good time.

i have an interview friday morning with the GM of TV at the evil empire. the master control dept. called me last week and demanded that i come by and check out their facilities and take a job from them. i asked the money question, and i'm definitely up for at least a dollar/hr raise, so if this goes well (and why should it not, with my excessively bubbly personality?), i may have a new job in the next week or so. wee! i'll be sure to let you know...

mike and i had a little spat yesterday afternoon. he was going to make me late for work! and i said something about how if he's not in the car by 3:50, then i'm leaving him and that sorta made him mad. i was half joking, half serious, but i guess it came across as totally serious. so blahblah when he dropped me at work i said something about how i got my hair colored and he didn't even notice. why i said that, i don't know. i've never wanted to be one of those girls that gets mad when their man doesn't notice subtle changes. no one at work said anything about it either, so the longer i sat and thought about it at work, the more i realized it was really stupid of me to say that stuff. after work, back at his apt, i apologized for being snippy. his response? "we've got plenty of time to figure each other out." and to not worry about it. of course!

thanksgiving is turning out to be an enormous deal. the headcount so far is at 45 people. i've been assigned to make rolls and a 4 layer delight (dessert). i'm also going to throw together some sort of dip. it's going to be so noisy and so crowded, i'm thankful for the fact i get to leave at 3:15 b/c i have to work that night :) my mom keeps insisting i bring mike, but i really can't see him mingling with that big of a crowd of my family. i don't want to go, why would i subject anyone else to that?

when i'm older and have my own family, i want one of those sorta formal holiday dinners with the placecards for everyone at the table and the fancy centerpiece. they always have pictures of those tables in the pottery barn and crate & barrel catalogs. i want a small group, like 10 at the most, of people so you can at least have a conversation. and hopefully no screaming little kids.

i guess that's all of the important things i can think of right now.

oh...one thing........Nixon dear.....i know that div 2 football teams have a playoff system, and not bowls. sarcasm doesn't flow so well over the internet. besides, there's no way Oklahoma will be losing to USC in the championship...b/c they'll probably be playing Utah in the fiesta bowl. hehe. gotta stick with auburn for the championship. and how about my wolverines lurking on the outside of the BCS again? if it wasn't for the 2nd half of the notre dame game, i think michigan would be right up in there fighting over the right to play USC. (although michigan got their ass beat by USC last year.....)

anyway....game on for the library ceremony.....
