Since I’ve had such a crappy two weeks, I need some things that make me happy. Here are some of my all-time favorite videos on YouTube:
And my all-time favorite:
I have become ridiculously addicted to this website:

Go. Check it out. Join. Addict.
So today is my last Friday as a single woman. This time next week, I’ll be anxiously waiting for Haley to get out of class so we can jump in the car and head to Cleveland, where we’ll pick up my mom and go to the salon. Here are the two ideas I have for my hair. Which one is better?
This one is so pretty, but I’m not sure if my hair is long enough. Also, I’m not quite sure where the veil would fit in there.
I think this is gorgeous, but again I don’t know if my hair is long enough, and again I don’t know how the veil will fit.
This is nice with the veil, but maybe a tad boring.
Anyway, those are the three that I’m going to choose from, with help. Also, here are the flowers, as promised.
Here is the bouquet that served as my initial inspiration:
The long purple cones are called veronica, and they will be in my bouquet. Here are some more elements:
Delphinium…
This is seeded eucalyptus. The little seed head parts will be in the bouquet.
The green berries in the picture are hypericum. They will be green in mine.
This, of course, is lavender, my favorite aspect of the bouquet. Along with lavender, there will also be rosemary.
This is lisianthus. Mine will be deep purple.
And finally…
Variegated pittisporum. The greenery.
I’m hoping it comes together!
So I’m back from my little vacation to the new apartment. I haven’t taken any pictures yet, but it’s v. cute. Just trust me. I worked for several hours on Tuesday unpacking all the first round of stuff and got most of it put away by the time Evan got home from work. I think we’ll be quite happy and comfortable in the new place. The only downside I can see so far is being able to tell what time it is while we’re asleep…since we’re in a basement that backs up to the woods, the quality of light is pretty much the same whether it’s 8am or 4pm, so the alarm clock is going to get a lot of usage…
I spent a few hours yesterday at a temp agency looking for work. (By the way, Amanda, I’m planning on telling you all this when I see you or talk to you, but if you read this first, don’t blame me 
.) I ended up going to this place in downtown Gainesville called WillStaff Worldwide. I had planned on filling out an application and that being that, but it didn’t work that way… they had interviews and all kinds of stuff going on. When it was all said and done, I was there for about 3 1/2 hours, took a clerical & industrial test, and has an interview. Bottom line: I am “highly qualified” for basically any position they have open, so they told me that when I’m ready to start working, just give them a call and they’d be able to place me immediately. So, that means when I go to Borders for work tonight, I’ll be giving my 2-week notice (kinda–my last day will be May 20th). It’ll be nice not to have to commute to work.
Also, I got a message on Facebook last night from a guy responding to my sublease ad. Hopefully he’ll take it, so that’s one less thing to worry about.
I’m fairly depressed for such exciting things to be happening. My dad is the main cause of this, but I don’t really want to go into it right now…
My birthday was great, other than the hours at the temp agency. Evan bought me a really cute outfit and took me to dinner at Aqua Terra, where we happened to be dining at the same time as Jeff Foxworthy. That was pretty funny. He tipped the waitress $70 on $148.00. Wish I’d been serving! That’s an awesome tip. Anyway, it was a good day, most of all since I got to spend it with Evan. Got a lot of well wishes on the phone and Facebook from friends.
Don’t feel any older.
