one freaking week!

i don't really know what else to say. . .

fully licensed...

...to be married!

so we got our marriage license yesterday. we could just go get married today...tempting, for sure, but i guess since we're in the home stretch of this whole wedding thing, we might as well go for the gold. just two and a half weeks! that's totally crazy. but exciting.

in other news: i've put in 5 applications for jobs in tennessee, and i had a phone interview yesterday for a grant writing job in little rock (thank you mattyp). i still haven't heard anything yet from the governor's office (that is, the governor-to-bebee), but i've got my fingers crossed for a policy research job. not counting any eggs before they hatch, though.

the office threw us a really nice wedding potluck/shower yesterday, and we got tons of goodies...some of which will certainly have to be returned, but it's the thought that counts, right? i feel a little guilty about turning in my notice after such a nice do, but then i remember that everyone brought chicken dishes even though most of them know i don't really eat meat, and we were given a wal-mart gift card (i'll admit, we've been a few times, but really...).

so that's your update. if i had faster internet at home, you'd be seeing pictures of erica's baby, pictures of our 4-foot chrismas tree and other goodnessess. alas, i do not...

does blogger hate me?

i can't get it to let me post comments on other blogs! first, i couldn't post yesterday on leah's blog. then, this morning i couldn't post on kristen's. and now leah's again! what's the deal, i wonder? my username and password are right (otherwise i wouldn't be writing this), and i get those scrambly letters right...hmmmmmm. it's like it doesn't want me to make comments.

not much news to report. need to get on applying for jobs. and wrap up wedding plans. sheesh.

that's the pinkslip i'm giving myself: wrong place, wrong time. i've messed up. not supposed to be here. not now, at least. i'm almost to the 6-month mark at my job, and i'm coming to the full realization that it's just not the right fit. so now i'm in some sort of an existential crisis. what to do? where to go? what do i even want to do? i have almost no idea. and the ideas i have aren't realistic at the present moment.

so i'm looking for jobs. possibly any time of job. so, seriously, if you know of a job opening (almost anywhere, for real), pass it on, yo.
