I Have A Jo-ob!

Finally, after almost two months in Kalamazoo I have a job! This is very exciting. Well, sort of anyway. I'm working at the Mobil gas station on the corner of Lovell and Oakland. It is called the Dairy Mart or DM. Hopefully, I won't get stuck up while I'm working there. A gun in my face is not going to make a good day. I'm making minimum wage, $7.40, which is okay, I mean money is money. It will definitely help me with my bills.

I started reading the Twilight series a couple of weeks ago and I'm very into them. I just started the third book, Eclipse, the other day. I'm a little in love with Edward, I'm not gonna lie. I just started liking the Bella character too. I thought throughout the first book she was just some sort of Emo kid. I hate Emo kids. They are annoying. However, Bella really isn't that way I learned so now I'm kind of into her character. I'm interested to see if she will get turned into a vampire or not.

If you happen to be in the mood for any other vampire books I would suggest Christopher Moore's "You Suck" and Tate Hallaway's "Tall, Dark, and Dead" series. They are pretty funny and interesting. They are a little like paranormal mysteries with a hilarious twist.

In crochet news I finished blocking my grey sweater. It is a little big, but it hangs nicely. It will be good for wrapping up in in the wintertime. I also started the beaded scarf. I'm about half way done with it. It is turning out really well.

In about a half of a day I made a red slouchy hat. I made it out of Red Heart Super Saver and really didn't like the stiffness of it. I through it in the laundry with some fabric softener and then into the dryer. Oh...my...god! It is really soft now and it drapes really beautifully. Now I just have to get the balls to wear it out in public!

I also started a cotton shopping bag, but I decided I didn't like it so I tore it apart and I'm going to find something else to use the yarn for. I really want to get rid of all of my yarn. It's a quest now!

So, in different news. I went to the bar last night. Met some people, got drunk, got embarrassed and cried. Beer is bad for me. I really like the taste and most of the time I can drink it without getting to buzzed up, which is the way I like to be, but I hate the times when I really get drunk. Uh! I hate it. Happy to say that I'm not too embarrassed. I might go to the bar again tonight, but I will only be drinking water and soda. I think that is a good plan.

Also, I don't know what is up with the city of Kalamazoo, but last week they filled in a bunch of potholes on my street. Today, the decided to tear the whole street out and repave. What was the point of filling the potholes? I don't understand.
