i should be sleeping.

but for some reason i'm not quite tired yet. so instead i'll do a quick update of... my last month? i totally just opened my calendar to see if anything exciting went on.

1. that yard sale we had was successful for h but i got like $7.25. i think i used it on a coffee from starbucks. which i'm sure was delightful. we went out on the boat that afternoon after putting everything in the house. michael and his nephew (21 yrs old... not like 5) were going out on the boat and h asked if i wanted to go. the highlight was wearing a scarf on my head and sunglasses with the top down in h's car. i felt like thelma and louise. there was also a cookout at the house that night. there was a fire pit and good food and 'house' watching and blended drinks. yes! i made some good piña coladas. i think driving to the store that night (pre drink) proved my night blindness. it was rough.

2. i went to see alabama's matthew mcconaughey today and my back is practically fixed. sweet deal. i'll go in the first week of next month and one more time. because i've already paid for it and i'm getting my money's worth of electric shock and streching of the back.

3. after applying at 10 to 15 places and interviewing with 8 or so, i accepted a job in north haven, ct this week. i'll actually be working in madison. i was also officially offered jobs in seattle, wa and burlington, vt. last wednesday. and informal question of employment through richmond, va; atlanta and philly. about two weeks ago i was freaking out that i was going to have to move in with my parents again. oi. glad that's over. start planning your visits. we've got a lot of catching up to do.

4. we went up to chicago the last week of may. last week. h and i had two presentations at the annual association for behavior analysis international conference. we stayed with tasha and her man phil for the week. good times. i'll write about that later today. if i remember.

5. school is out. the regular school year ended the 22nd of last month. extended school year started this monday. there are a couple students there but we haven't been over to see them. we worked 10 hour days this week to have friday off. i was at work each morning between 6:35 and 6:50. it was tough. no morning gym time. though, i loved having friday off. today. yesterday. you decide. but 10 hours on monday and tuesday were crazy. the other two days went by quickly but mostly because i started my crazy ocd planning for getting an apartment in ct. this coming week we're doing the same and then i have 7 work days off in a row.

6. june 16th i'm flying up north to take care of an apartment. i'll be there until wednesday late afternoon when cris, dave and nate pick me up so we can drive to dc. thursday we'll finish driving to virginia beach with richie will get married that saturday. crazy, hey? younger brother getting married... and then sunday jennt and i will hang out at the greyhound stop and both go our separate ways at 5:45pm. i'll get into atlanta at 1:30pm the next day, drive back and then have tuesday off. awesome.

7. june 25th h and i are giving our two week notice. they know it's coming. it's the end of our quarter. it makes sense.

8. i'm going to do a walking tour of selma today. if i get up in time. i'll take pictures.

more later.
