Update

So Easter was pretty cool and relaxing. My family (aunts, uncles, cousins) got together on Good Friday. We decided to do this, because my cousin was planning a funeral for her late husband. I did not do anything else that weekend. That Wednesday, I was at a conference and then had to leave to go to a funeral and then went back to the conference. It was a good conference. I found out that my friend, Katie, is engaged! For all the girls who read this site, he proposed in Paris. Poor Katie :) Last weekend, I was supposed to go out for a friend's B-day on Friday, but I had a migraine (surprise!). On Saturday, I went out to celebrate my friend, Jen's, two year anniversary with her fiance. I did meet someone, but I won't say much more until something happens. Saturday was a blast! Laura, if you read this website, I was in your old neck of the woods, Northeast Minneapolis. It was a nice change of pace. Besides that, I have had a migraine for 11 days and counting now. I went to the doctor on Wednesday and got a shot, which helped a little. I had to go back today. I feel like today did the trick, but we'll see. Longest migraine I have ever had. Looking for a new job does not help (I will only be 20 hours a week next year). I am trying to schedule an interview for a Guardian Ad Litem supervisory position. The interview will not take place until mid-May. So, that's about it. Wish me luck on getting rid of my migraine! More later!

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.

"What are you doing in there?"

she asked.

The rabbit replied:


"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?",
to which the lady replied

"Yes."

"Well," the rabbit said,

"I'm westing."



Sorry... I couldn't stop myself.


Have a Wonderful Easter...

It's coming soon!

SO

Okay, so what have I been doing the last two weeks (besides looking for a new job)? Well, last weekend, I went to see a couple of cool movies. I saw "V for Vendetta" and "Failure to Launch". Both of them were awesome movies. "V for Vendetta" has a powerful message that I feel everyone should hear, unfortunately most people will think that this is just a movie. As a social worker, I have only felt such a powerful message from a fictional move three other times ("Power of One", "Sarafina" and "Pay It Forward"). Then "Failure to Launch" is just a funny, romantic, comedy that everyone has to see at least once. This weekend, I went to a going away party for my former supervisor and another co-worker at the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I then went out with my friend, Erica, and some of her friends to the Loring Pasta Bar. It was fun to meet a lot of people there (Erica used to work there) and hang out with new people. On Saturday night, I went to see Jesse Lang play at Bogarts (after I had a nice dinner with my friend, Amy at Old Chicago). My friend, Erin was there as well as her parents. Her mother used to be my childcare provider when I was little, so it was fun to see them. I also got to see my friend, JB and some other people I have not seen in a while. It is also Amy's B-day this week, so we were out celebrating that as well. Happy Birthday, Aims! So that was my weekend. Off to bed so I can be wide awake for another wonderful week at work (only 8 more weeks until summer vacation). More later!
