7 Quick Takes Friday - June 8, 2012




--- 1 ---

Collin and I went to the Stand Up for Religious Freedom Rally in Phoenix today. Despite the temperature in the 100s, there were around 1,000 people there! One bad thing: both Collin and I forgot sunscreen. Oops. I'm turning a very unattractive shade of lobster red as a result. Still, it was worth it.

Gabriel had sweet potatoes this week. He loved them!

So, you know the two paychecks I got on Friday? They bounced on Tuesday. I'm not even kidding. I was, and am, furious. The company (FINALLY) wired the money into my account on Thursday, but I'm still waiting to get reimbursed for the NSF and wire transfer fees -- and I have no clue if payroll will be made next Friday.

I'm betting not.

Needless to say, the job hunt continues...

I've been meaning to write an actual blog post, but job hunting is eating up what would usually be blogging time. Sigh.

Congratulations to Kara for running a very successful online auction to benefit Malcolm! The auction raised over $1,400! The best part? I WON THE YODA HAT!




Soooooooooooooooooo excited!
