my mom has already begun the novena

i have a job interview on wednesday for a store in the portland area. it's a position that is tailor made for my experience, and i would love to get it. keep your fingers crossed.

i'll have to spend less scratch when i get out there, too...a friend of M's donated a bed, bed frame, and nightstand to me. which saves me like $700 right off the bat. sorry IKEA! this has all come together better than expected, better than i could have planned. and i'm beginning to be VERY excited about moving. i love the energy i get from the thought of beginning a new phase of life.

M and i are also trying to get a list of names together for the bambino. it's amazing all the rules that crop up when trying to choose a good name for someone. the yell test is my favorite...cos if it don't sound good when you're trying to call the kid in from outside, it ain't gonna work. if you have suggestions, let me know. something off the beaten path, but easy enough to avoid confusion.

it's storming here right now and elladog is freaking out. the older she gets, the more sensitive she is to loud noises and being alone, and the more she does crazy shit like stare into corners and the bathroom for no reason. i've begun calling her blair witch. i actually have to give her sedatives during storms or she becomes far too unmanageable and anxious. a few days ago i gave her a little too much of a pill (i have to cut them in half) and she was so fucked up she fell off the bed. she just stepped off into space and wound up wedged against the wall with no idea of what had happened. sad and hilarious.

on an unrelated note, i wanted to give something back to my roots by posting this. fair warning, this becomes law once i achieve world domination.
