some of what i've been up to and other stories

Some of what I've been up to:
Top left: this was taken during our farewell dinner for Selene, who is presently away at vet school in beautiful Grenada. I was experimenting with weird angles or something like that.
Top right: those roses were preening for attention outside of church one Sunday, so I obliged them by taking a photo.
Bottom left: I'm knitting my second pair of socks. I've completed half of this pair. I mean to begin the other half one of these days.
Bottom right: IHOP was giving away pancakes for free (how long ago was this?!). So I showed up. Naturally. With my 1500 page book.

And other stories:
I've been a barista at Barnes & Noble for the past 4 months (oh, did I forget to mention that? I'm so sorry), and a more genial one you've never met.
Although, that's about to end soon because just today I got offered a big-girl job working for a grown-up health corporation, which I have accepted. I have not the slightest clue what I'll be doing there, but I will soon have benefits so everything else might as well be moot. Oh my giddy goodness, BENEFITS!
I'm also toying with the idea of writing a book of essays about my fabulously mundane life. I don't know... But isn't it quite possible that there's a rare someone sincerely interested in the digressive internalization of a confused 22-year old, given to protracted fantasies and near misses with wit? It's possible, no?
