Junie's Online Thoughts

Good God! Has it really been that long?? Jeez....I've meant to blog for weeks now and I just ran out of time. Yowza.
Let's see. Let's recap. We got five new people working at the library and it's made a world of difference. Some of the new people really annoy me, but if they do their work, I can deal with them. We have been incredibly busy with the summer, only to get more so. We have a vacation reading program for kids and teens....it sure keeps 'em coming into the library!
I picked up a few shifts at Noodle again for extra money. Gotta pay for our U-haul when we finally move. I started my resume, but it needs a lot of work. After checking out the few job openings in Minnesota right now, it's going to be really hard to find a job without having a Master's. It seems that even the lamest, lowest paying job requires one. Im scared, but hopeful that the universe will help us get there sometime soon. I dont hate Atlanta...and I love my friends here. Its just that the traffic and heat and roaches and smog really get me down. I'll miss Atlanta when we finally leave---I've been here the longest except for Black Creek. Atlanta will always be one of my homes. Im just itchy to go somewhere else...and be within driving distance of my family. I miss them. I really do.
Today we went to the Decatur Arts Festival. It was nice, but crowded and hot. We resisted the urge to buy expensive paintings and crappy but delicous food and jewelry. Instead we bought two pretty bowls and a birthday present for Jeremy's mom. Tonight we're going to an art gallery and then to see Andrew Bird at the Earl....he totally kicks ass. He's weird and wonderful and has a new album out...Im so excited! We havent been out in a while. We're loooong overdue for a night out on the town.
Tomorrow I work a double at Noodle. Monday Im off from the library. And then its June, my craziest month of the summer. We have so much going on...dinner parties, work and work and work, trips to MN and to Nashville, camping and running around. And tons of people that Im overdue to see...I need a few more hours each day!
We've been going to the gym nearly every day, working out like fiends. You wouldnt be able to tell from the scale...it just stays where it is (damn scale!), but Im not gonna stop until I finally reach my goal. This is it. Im tired of saying I want to reach it but then I get lazy or sabotage myself. Im finally going to lose these 20 pounds so I can stop bitching about my body. Otherwise, all is well. The garden is awesome and growing like wildfire. I love it! My family is doing well. We'll be seeing Jeremy's mom soon. And I just found cheap tickets to WI. I wasnt going to come home in July, but I couldnt pass up the price. Its a pity that in order to get them, I had to accept any times they gave me. I leave at night on the Saturday after Stacy's birthday and stay until the late afternoon on Monday. Its a short trip, but I gotta see my nieces and the rest of the gang. Dont know how much time I'll have for everyone, but I'd love to see who I can.
Take care, have a good Memorial weekend and I'll (hopefully) write more soon.
