Show Your Might

Jamie went offshore 2 days ago. I'm officially at a week of being unemployed. I've managed to clean the house spotless, finish the redo on my bathroom, paint the mailbox in a dia de los muertos theme, get drunk and give the dog a much needed bath. I've also managed to waste a few hours at Bovverworld and Punk Rock Domestics. I've decided not to get another job until I get back from SC at the end of the month. Until then it's an avoidance of spending money, rampant crafting and walking the dog excessively. Oh no! How will I survive?

In other news, I'm trying to figure out what I want to go back to school for. Gotta make it count this time around...

The date's completely wrong on this bastard. It's July 3rd...

Lived In Bars

Yeah so maybe I abandoned this corner of the internet for a few months. I'm in a bit of a limbo these days. My little bit of craftyness has been halted by work. I'm attempting to pay off my credit card by November, thus I've picked up extra hours. I actually went out to the bar Tuesday and enjoyed myself for the first time since the Murder Junkies show. I never cared for basketball but the Celtics beat the Lakers that night. Everyone was in a good mood. I guess the hatred for California stretches beyond my husband and I. I came to recall the many drunken nights of teenage debauchery and how, at this point in my life where I am actually able to go to bars, I'm nearly over the whole thing. It could be a combination of the city and my bad attitude. I'm in the middle of a neo-yuppie town, where the smart ones wanted out at 15. I miss New Orleans more and more some nights. We barely knew each other. That sinking city that made me feel like I was at the bottom of the world felt like home. This city feels like the embodiment of waiting. I can't complain much I guess, we just bought a house and are getting our lives on track financially. Maybe in a few years I can go back. Things will be closer to the way they were before the hurricane, but never quite there.
