i was longing for a night of good conversation, and good company, and last night i had it!! my friend molly invited me to her friend's party in clifton [i think..hah] and it was wonderful! i also got to try Joose for the first time, i'd heard of this eighth wonder of the world.. i had the kind with magenta-y purple letters. it was good. my friend lindsey and i split one. which was a very good idea, since half of it was enough. hah. they're only three-ish dollars a can, so, that's a steal to get nice and sauced of an evening.

i really enjoy outings at people's homes, where things are cozy and intimate instead of uninviting and crass. i met molly's friend jon from Tejas who is a real swell fellow, a young lady named emily who was delightful, the owner of the home andrew who was very patient with the sometimes loud conversational revelry.. and other wonderful people including a teacher like myself! it was great to be able to converse about education with someone just as passionate about it as i am. i wish i could remember that madam's name.. damn Joose!

after the party molly, jon, and i went to steak n' shake. i had delicious chili and Nommed on some of molly's chili cheese fries. Mmm.. then molly drove me home and i had my first two visitors to my new place!!! im still hardly unpacked, but at least i had swept earlier in the day, hah. i turned off the lights and showed them my magic wall [see past posts] of shadows!! created by streetlamp light filtering through the tree leaves outside my living room window. i hope to have another such evening soon!



one of my bosses called me today and asked if i would be interested in working with our court advocacy program in our organization a few days a week!! i said of course. i have a pseudo interview tomorrow morning with the head of the program. i'm nervous and excited. the only downside to it is that it will be an hour commute in the morning and my car is driving toward the light...



i also heard back about my second interview for the mentor job i want!! they said it was taking so long to hear back [only a day really, but..hah, im inpatient about things i really care about] because they are having scheduling mix-ups. so, there's still a definite possibility that i'll be called in for a second interview!!!! i've got my fingers crossed!

for dinner tonight i baked up egg, summer squash, leftover baked potato, garlic, and butter in a little oven safe dish! twas delicious! i'm very sleepy now, despite having slept in until twelve thirty.. hah. i have to make myself stay up until at least nine. soo...sleepy....
