A Random Wednesday Afternoon...

First off, a Happy Birthday to Jessica, a little late! Sounds like you had a really good one.

My own birthday is in about two and a half weeks... I currently have no plans what-so-ever... I asked Chris to make sure he has the night off so I can spend time with him, but otherwise there are no plans. But, I mean, my whole family is not exactly having a financial party at the moment - and neither am I, personally. Usually, I call up my Grandma/Mom and say "I'd like a nice meal at 'X'"... but this year I just don't feel like I have the right to demand a nice meal that will cost hundreds of dollars after we include everything/everyone.

Otherwise... I managed to force Chris to let me take a picture of the two of us. He says that we just haven't been doing things that people really take pictures of - and I see his point - we tend to make the cheapest food possible and watch a movie at home... but... I don't know. I'm happy, and I don't see any reason why I shouldn't document being happy - even if it isn't in a foreign country or at a special event. So, yeah... I accosted him with the camera today. I think the torture is evident on his face :-P

Other than torturing the boyfriend, things have been pretty quiet. Applying for every job that moves... Counting pennies... trying to keep from thinking too hard from thinking... at all. Hopefully, I will at least find something that will at least pay bills here soon. It's too easy to freak out, and that wouldn't help anything at all.

Sunday is my family St. Patricks Day dinner... in which we imbibe much beer and whisky and debate everything you have been taught to not speak about in polite society. My Uncle Mike will be coming in from the Army (he's more like an older brother than an Uncle)... and I have been informed that Chris is to come as well... So, everyone who knows my family... say a little prayer for him. (Actually, I think he'll stand on his own pretty damn well.)

Now, it is time to dredge the larder (that is for Andy, who doesn't even read this, but still) to find out what is for dinner.
