another (rainy) saturday

it's been raining pretty much all week. and while i don't mind it so much, it really does put a damper on my mood. i didn't think the rainy weather would affect me that much, but it really kind of does. i guess it's better than the heat and humidity of the midwest! and there's sunshine in the forecast, as well. once again, i am home alone for the weekend. mike's working, so i'm left to my own devices. i'm experimenting with pictures. anyway, i've been invited to a barbeque with some coworkers today. i said i'd go if it was at andrew's house, which is like 4 blocks from me. otherwise, i don't know. haha. i keep trying to think of things to make that'll really "wow" them. i seem to remember being somewhat of a cook in the not-so-distant past, but it's all a blank. my life in omaha keeps getting further and further away from me.

oh yes, and a girl put in her notice at work, so it looks like i may be transitioning to full time. thank goodness!

i am also entertaining the thought of going back to school. portland state university had a distance program for library science. it's through--get this--emporia state in overland park, KANSAS. yeah, so i need to take the GRE, which costs like $150 to take. that's about half my paycheck right now. i really want to go to library school. but it's expensive. on the plus side, i would be able to defer my student loans for awhile. admission deadline for next spring is october 1, so i have a little bit of time to prepare and take the GRE.

okay, i'm off to watch a movie (memoirs of a geisha).
