The Haps

Hi ho, gentle readers! Just a quick update for y'all today.

I'm trying to stay busy, but the main vehicles for keeping busy, 1) remodeling my room, and 2) Halloween, are now more or less done with. One of these activities left me with a puncture wound, and the other left me with a rather heinous hangover. I'll leave the which-is-whiching to you.

Side note: I went as a zombie Indian. With smallpox. The gift tag on the blanket reads "To: The Americas. From: Europe. Happy Columbus Day! xoxo." That's right, indignant masses. Come and get me.

Now it's back to the job hunt once again! There's a drop-in interview at a local restaurant tomorrow, which I plan to attend in all my perky, food-servicey splendor, and I continue to fire off resumes to unsuspecting craigslisters. I was really hoping for this one hosting position at a place that is WALKING DISTANCE from my house, but alas! It was not to be. I suspect that experience may have won out over my obvious capacity to be trained. Ah well.

I definitely feel very, VERY useless at the moment, but that may be because it's 2:30 in the afternoon and all I have done today is shower, change from my bathrobe INTO pajamas, and watch No Country For Old Men. Time to raise the bar. I'm gonna go sand my new hardwood floor.

(Oh, did I mention that I pulled up my horrifying old carpet and discovered beautiful, dark hardwood underneath? I ran shrieking through the house. Thank you, interior decor gods.)

Also, there is this thing, which is delightful and awesome.

Big kisses, world. Allie, out.
