You know, I really need to get back in the habit of blogging again. 'Cause I've got time. I'm just so used to not having time, that I don't. Hmph.

I've had an interesting couple of weeks. Watched my brother graduate. Helped my uncle serve a supboena (and got paid for it! Hee!). Painted at my grandparent's new house, which is also my uncle's (different uncle, though) old house. Helped grandparents move to said house. Found out my best friend ([livejournal.com profile] cuteculturechic, not [livejournal.com profile] susy_gwen) is moving to California. Spent two weeks knitting felted bags for [livejournal.com profile] cuteculturechic and her daughter. Got cramps in my hands from said knitting. Forgot to take a pic of [livejournal.com profile] cuteculturechic's bag before I gave it to her, so she'll have to take a pic and send it to me. Will post a pic of Rosie's bag when it's done. Learned how to needle felt (so. much. fun). Celebrated with my sister, [livejournal.com profile] thelittletwin, when she got a job at our favorite movie theatre ([livejournal.com profile] wahleeconners will remember it. :P). Helped [livejournal.com profile] thelittletwin's best friend figure out the pattern for the felted bag I made for [livejournal.com profile] cuteculturechic, so she can make one of her own.

In news that's not so easy to encapsulate in one sentence, I e-mailed a friend from WGU yesterday and asked if there might be any grader positions open, since I don't want a regular job until I get my thesis done. I have enough distractions. Anyway, she e-mailed back and said that they might have just the thing for me, and to send my resume, and when can I start, and when can she set me up with that friend of hers she's wanted to set me up with forever? I responded, but haven't heard back. And yes, I said that she could set me up. :P

Last Saturday [livejournal.com profile] susy_gwen was taking her PRAXIS test down in Orem, so [livejournal.com profile] thelittletwin and I drove down, picked up my sister [livejournal.com profile] mannfann from her apartment in Provo, and played. We had dinner and did some shopping, which was way fun. I bought some sandals at Famous Footwear (the exact same style as my current favorite sandals, which means that I don't have to get them re-soled) and had some very nice amaretto ice cream. Brought my sandals home and didn't think too much about them, as it was late on Saturday night and they're not Sunday-type shoes. But when I got them out on Monday to wear them-- there was only one shoe. The left one. I've spent the last week and a half checking everywhere I could have lost the right one-- my car, my room, the stairway, the family room-- but no dice. I finally called the store today and asked if they had a stray shoe around, and they did! Yay! So now I'm driving down to Provo tonight. I'll probably stop at the BYU library to drop off books from previous semesters and get my mom some more Nero Wolfes. I'm SO GLAD I don't have to buy another pair. :P

Did any of you watch the What Not to Wear last Friday, where they made over a Mormon girl from Provo? I want to get my hair cut like hers. :P Anyone know where I can get screencaps? If not, I'll take a picture of our DVR'd episode with my digital camera. :P
