this is the time and place.

Tomorrow is my last day at Smith & Hawken before I start my new job. So yes, the second interview went well. Quite well. I start on the 3rd of October. I am excited. A little scared, but excited nonetheless.

Philadelphia makes me smile. Today was one of those days that made me appreciate where I live. The places I go are the places that are forever burned into my memory...and the fun I have while I'm there is a feeling I'd hate to never have again. And it's amazing how your mode of transportation gives you different impressions of the same area. Riding your bike, walking, and driving down the same street is three different experiences. The whole city is that way. I guess any place is that way. All I know is that I like it.

I renewed my Free Library of Philadelphia card. That library is the neatest. I've always wanted to be a librarian. What's even better is that my official title at my new job is: Library Graphics Assistant. Neat, huh?

rainy day writer.

As the title suggests, it's been raining since I woke up close to eleven a.m. Alison and I had planned to hang out, but the rain killed that. She woke up hella late anyway.

I've just been sitting here responding to emails, drinking coffee, watching Aqua Teen, and dicking around online...all whilest still in my pj's. Lazy rain days are the best. I'm so glad that today is my day off.

So things are looking up with the whole career front. I'm in the midst of working on new freelance offers, and I also had my second interview with the landscape architecture and design firm. Hopefully within the next few weeks I'll be able to quit the retail working world gracefully. I love the idea of having an office job and getting my weekends back for adventures with my friends.

My vacation home to Louisiana was nice. That's all that I can say to describe it. I enjoyed my time there.

I finally got a new couch on Monday. It's extremely nice. I never imagined myself with a nice couch...well, I have, but I never expected to actually own one. It was such a steal, too!

I'm boring.
