new

new job - it starts today at 8am. 8 months of training. then several months spent on review and then finally, you're free. i am worried about a few things. will i find a parking spot. how much will the damn spot cost me? i really wanted to take the bus---but unfortunately the schedule just does not work out with the training hours. after class ends, perhaps. i worry about what to wear. i am so freakin' anal I actually have in my closet 8 outfits put together already to take me through the next 8 workdays. i worry to much about some stuff.

i haven't been sleeping well this weekend. nervous about what is to come, excited about what may happen in the future.

last night was a beauty. ran over to karen's to give her the Amish baby blankie i picked up in jamesport. they are all doing well. just a few short weeks and amelia will make her appearance into this world. a new person, a new life, a million possibilities. told brian he needed to be a park ranger and work for the MO dept of natural resources. it would just be fabulous if he thought he could live around here. like fixing the past. you can't ever reclaim what's gone, but you can make your present world the way you want it to be in many, many ways.

by the way, jordy drove all the way to karen and ricks. we almost slammed into somebody at a stoplight, but other than that she got 1-1/2 hours of driving time in, and did pretty well on the highway. we practiced parking in an empty parking lot.

i spent about an hour on the patio last night reading 'return of the king'. just all comfy and spread out on the new furniture out there, with my amaretto and seven and I read outside until darkness forced me back in. and, the neighbors were all behaving themselves! no crazy yelling going on.

movies we watched this week that i will have to watch again,
