Weekend Woes.

I tend to feel homesick the most on the weekends. I think it's a combination of having actual free time to think and remembering what I would be doing if I were home. On Saturdays I would've slept in (shocking) or more likely woken up early to run errands with Marme. Our first stop would be Dunkin Donuts and then depending on the season we would do a few of the following: Go yard saling/ thrift store shopping. Go to Jo Ann's fabrics, Safeway, to school to water the plants, feed the animals etc. The point of the story is I miss those things. Here my weekends are all I have due to my extreme hatred of my job. So I try to do as many as these things as I still can. But it's not the same. There is no Dunkin, this Jo Ann's is dirty and I don't have a built in errands buddy like my Mom here.

Today I had an idea to put fabric around the matting of an Ikea picture frame. Sarah got me this awesome postertext.com poster of Pride and Prejudice. Its actually the first 25 chapters of the book with the image of Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth in the middle. With the extra fabric I had I decided to try and make headbands. Here's the thing... I can't sew. My attempt at sewing including me stabbing myself over and over and over. Luckily that's the part of the headband no one can see. Once the skin grows back on my finger tips I think I'll try to make a couple more.

I found a plethora of Catholic schools around. I bought a printer today (Thanks Mom!) so I can print out my resume and reference letters and start making packets to hand out to all the schools. I'm hoping that I can find a school for next year, and maybe a nanny job for the summer. Which would make me very happy. Love you Dad and Grandad. My loyal two readers.
