Well I am back to normal now and I took my last steroid over the weekend. I wish I could take them forever because my skin has never been so healthy! My face glows and the redness and dryness that is usually my nose cleared up and so soft! I guess that is another draw back to birth control. It monkeys with hormones that keep you young!
Well I sent a note to my dad. I just created a simple card with the left over supplies from graduation that said “I miss you”. I think I will make another today just from a lack of something else to do.
Hopefully I will get a job soon. I have sent out e-mail to many places and today I will start calling to confirm they the mail was received and try to get my foot in the door somewhere. I never thought it would be so hard to find a sex education job, but apparently in Texas it is not common.
This past weekend was okay. Friday was so excellent that Saturday and Sunday seemed to suck because of the greatness of Friday. We lit up the grill and drank some wine, port to be more specific. It was nice and cool out so the fire was enjoyable. We ate dinner on the coffee table with the pillows that Harriet made us. We use out dinning room for our 19 foot computer desk so we do not have an actual dinning table. But it was nice, with good food, candles, and laughs (mostly at me from drinking 3 glasses of port with is 20% alcohol by volume!).
I also FINALLY sent out thank you cards for the graduation gifts. Money is so tight that I bought the cards with one paycheck and had to wait till the next to afford the stamps. I did not 100% custom make these like the invitations, but I got to design them and add little thinks that made them unique.
Last night Dean bleached my roots so I could re-pink today. In case you are wondering, I have to re-pink every 10 days or so, but it is easy. The pink is only pigment and take 10 min to put on. About every 2 months I have to bleach the new hair growth (my hair grows very slow), so at this moment I have 2 inches of white hair at the roots with the rest pink. It looks cool when it is wet! Sometime today I will re-pink and then get a way over due hair cut. I usually get a hair cut once a year (again my hair grows slow and I never blow dry or curl it so it does not get extra damage) and it has been over a year since my last one and my ends are kinda uneven (hair grows in a swirl pattern not all at once).
Well I guess I will start calling around and see if I can get anywhere. As soon as I get any word I will post about it. I can’t wait to be DINKs (duel income no kids) and can’t wait till money crunches are a thing of the past. If we can get to a point where all of our bills are auto paid and have a little left over I will be happy! I don’t want to be rich; I just don’t want to have to worry about money!

I’m sure that you’ll find a job soon - you’re too valuable a commodity to stay available for too long. The toughest part is getting awareness of you out so that the bidding can begin! Remember - calling every day or two about a job isn’t desperate, it’s enthusiastic.
(Until they tell you to stop calling them, I suppose. Then it might be desperate.)
Friday was really cool.
We got a bottle of Ruby Port (Kaston wants to start drinking red wine for health reasons, but needed something sweet to start off with so that she can slowly get used to the tannins. We’ll probably try mixing various strengths of port and merlot together until she can stand to drink a normal red wine) and did yummy kabobs on the grill.
I actually kinda like how Kaston’s hair looks blonde at the roots and pink on the length and tips. Maybe if she has to go with a more natural color for a job they’d let her keep pink tips or a little mini pink side braid or something.
It will be good to not worry about money, definitely. We can get a Wii and some games for it when it comes out, we can get health insurance, I can get my bike fixed up and start riding again… Of course, the #1 priority is paying off debt, but if we maintain our current lifestyle we’ll basically be making twice what we spend, so hopefully it’ll take care of itself in short order.

I liked it when Valerie’s hair was briefly blonde with red tips. She looked like a book of matches!

Kaston … for many of us the money problems last a lifetime … house, cars, so many things. I hope you can get rid of debt forever .. I would vote for you if you ran for president.

I have actually thought about doing that someday — running for president that is.
I think I would make a good president, but the likelihood of that happening is close to 0. I am very extreme in my beliefs and it is difficult to get votes unless you extreme is on the religious side of things, which I am not.
I think the closest I would ever get to presidency is being a cabinet member or a secretary of some department or another. =)

I’ll still vote for you … imagine, a president with pink hair.
