back to the future

so after not having my computer for a week, i now have it back (albeit sans most of my programs, documents, pictures, and settings.) now i can get back to my fruitless job search! yay!

i went home for a few days this weekend to celebrate my little brother's birthday and to decorate the guest room, which is my room whenever i go home. my mom and i went shopping for about 5 hours and we're still not done - all we got was paint and the bedding. awesome, right? it's gonna look really great when it's all put together. the theme is a bit moroccan (my favorite) and it's going to feature a great wall behind the bed, with painted anaglyptic wallpaper. the wallpaper is raised into a pattern so that you can paint over it and have a great focal wall of texture and style. i'm excited to see how it's going to come out.

i also found out this weekend that i'm going to be in my godfather's wedding, which i am uber excited about. i didn't get to go to his first wedding (it was a destination) so i'm very happy to be a part of this one. the girl he's marrying is a wonderful person and she makes him so content, and i'm really happy for him that he's found his true love :) my sister and brother are also going to be involved, so it's a family affair.

speaking of my sister, i got a little peeved at her yesterday when i came to our house. it snowed a ton overnight, and she shoveled all the snow that was on her side of the driveway onto my side. i spent an hour and a half digging it all onto the grass so ci could pull in and not have to park out in the street. the shoveling helped me burn off my rage, and whatever i had left over was placated by my boyfriend.

i am thinking about applying for a job as a freelance blogger - it could be fun to do as i love to write (and you get to pick your topic), but the pay system is a bit worrying. you get paid based on page views, unique visitors, etc. so i think i would have to do some self-promotion. also, it's part-time, so i'd have something to do while looking for a full-time gig. i think i could probably do well in the areas of style and fashion or relationships. i'll sleep on it tonight and make a final decision tomorrow.

sleep sounds good right now. i have a raging headache. excedrin migraine to the rescue!!!!
