tell me quando, quando, quando

so i have been searching through craigslist for jobs since that seems to be the only place that i can find people who need employees. my friends have been helping me out by letting me know when they go into establishments that are hiring (thanks Leah for the tip about that gas station and great clips, very helpful). but so far, the easiest way to earn $5000 that i have seen advertised on craigslist is donating my eggs. sounds like a great idea right up to the self-injections and surgery. but i did send my resume to a company that installs the advertisements you see on grocery carts. it's only 35 hours a month but i would get to travel (to salem and mcminnville) and use a cordless power drill. tell me that doesn't sound appealing.
no really, though, i got a call about an interview as the guest services attendant at bridgeport. that sounds right up my alley... dressing up everyday, answering phones, carrying umbrellas for rich people while they shop. but at this point, anything sounds good. plus, God let me in on a little plan of his called, "katie will have a job by the end of the month." i just have to hold up my part and keep applying and giving out my amazing resume.
sundays are probably my favorite days so far this summer. even though i do go to church alone, it's really nice to have a home at imago dei and i meet new people every week. when church is over i get to spend time at powells and whole foods, which was something i used to do with lots of people, but now i go it alone. but sitting at those windows in the coffee shop, reading Anne Lamott and listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo is a wonderful way to spend a sunday afternoon.
i think that friday night was the funniest night i have had in a long time. tuesday i went down to eugene to hang out with my folks and grandparents and see a concert my brother was in. let me tell you, trombone ensembles are pretty awesome. the rest of the time was... interesting. my parents are still having a hard time with me going to school for another year, but at least my dad understands me a little more after i was able to chat with him about my dreams. we're still working on my mom. thursday i got to see Kirsten, Leah, and Maleah. i went to the airport to hang out with Kirsten before she left for Nepal and it was so good to be with those girls again. how i missed them.
but back to friday night. went to dinner with Mar, Britt, and Chad (he was my surprise guest) and it was so much fun. then us girls went shopping for a little *hum* present for our friend Nicole. that's right, we had a bridal shower to go to and figured since we were the only younger ladies attending, we were therefore in charge of bringing the, well, you know. but the most awkward part was when i called my mother because we didn't know the rules about buying, well, you know. she told me that there were no rules, except maybe nothing slutty. it was interesting hearing my mother use that word. but it was a good thing since Nicole's mom took pictures of her with each of her gifts. oh my.
here's me wishing i were anywhere but here.
