hows your foot?

went and saw jeff tweedy tonite at the pabst. wonderful. took tim as a thank-you for fixing milo. although he deserves even more for returning my sanity.

it was a lovely show. and at one point i commented to him about how we are getting old, listening to adult-sounding music with acoustic guitar and sitting in a fancy theatre. not that i dont enjoy loud shows at dive venues.

so in less-happy news, reese witherspoon and ryan phillipe split up. total bummer. im not genuinely upset. but it is kind of sad because i always thought they seemed like a classy couple and really carried themselves and their relationship well for being of hollywood.

and back to happy news: i get a new sister-in-law this weekend. yep. my brothers wedding in the domincan republic is this week. i am going to be so tan for the cold month of november- you will all be jealous!

work.

I am still without my beloved Milo. I am at the Apple Store. I think I am going to apply for a job here tomorrow. My old coworker is a manager here and has been trying ot recruit me since summer. He's even introduced me to his boss. I just keep putting off the idea of getting a second job. I just want money to appear. I don't so much love my job at Macys sometimes. Its okay, but I still have the same issues I did over a year ago when I moved back from california and went from being a counter manager to being a regular analyst. I just found out that there was a counter manager opening for the line I work for at the mall near my house. I worked at the Gap at that mall 5 years ago. It was kind of a crappy small mall with little to offer, but has been remodeled and grown a lot in the last year. I think it will be a good place to be. I called my executive for the makeup line today, but it turns out that they had someone lined up. Bummer. She seemed genuinely bummed too and said she didn't know I was interested. Then she asked if I would be willing to relocate to Chicago, which she asked me back in spring and summer. Still my answer is no. But sometimes I wonder.

This whole growing up thing, deciding what to do with my life stuff really sucks sometimes. I should probably go back to school in spring and get my teaching degree. I don't know why I keep putting it off. I've kind of wanted to be a teacher since I was a little kid, but its just something I keep putting away on some shelf in a closet. I would be an amazing teacher. I would have summers off. Excellent benefits. But for some reason I keep wanting something else. Something more exciting? Or maybe somethig with less responsibility? I don't know why i keep working this same job that I had in college. The money isn't great but it isnt horrible either.. I get paid well for what I do- at least compared to my coworkers.

Well I suppose I should walk on back to that place and get working.

Planes

Someone (or multiple nice people working together) should really give me $300 so i can get on a plane. i miss my friends. i dont understand why i can't see them more often.
