9 1/2 Months

Well, yesterday was a pretty eventful day as I spent about 4 hours unemployed! I went into work as usual but Bart came out to my car before I even got out and essentially fired me. I guess technically I was laid off, but it doesn't really feel any different to me, especially since they gave me no notice, which is pretty inconsiderate. So I went home and spent about 15-20 minutes sulking and feeling crappy about the whole thing. Then I got on craigslist to see if I could find some jobs to apply for. It was about 10:45 when I saw one for the UofL bookstore; they were having open interviews. So I printed out a form I had to drop off at the financial aid office and headed to campus. She said since it was the last day of interviews she'd be calling that afternoon to make offers and I felt pretty well about the interview afterwards, and the manager must have too because she called me around 2:30 to offer me a job. I start my orientation/training 9:30 Monday morning. It's not permanent, the position is only guaranteed until the beginning of September but she said she will be keeping about 5 out of the 15 temporary employees long term, so it could be longer. If nothing else, I'll get 20% the price off my books so I'll save around $100!

I'm very very excited to be starting school this fall, I feel like I'll be finally moving forward when I do. It's so exciting to think that this time next year I'll be starting my LAST semester! Unless of course I go to grad school, which right now seems unlikely, but you never know!

Last week Rudy and I went to the Walk for Lupus Now Lauch party at Bearno's. It was pretty succesful and Rudy got recognized for making J Gumbo's a sponsor! Plus, the cake was delicious!

Noah has been eating even more than his usual hefty meals. I think he's about to have another growth spurt. I think he'll also have more teeth soon as he's been showing all the signs.

Rudy and I attended the last day of the very first hullabalou on Sunday and got to see Dave Matthews Band (along with several other bands). It was oppressively hot but we still had a good time and got a little sun!

Jessica (Yeska) and Isabella came to visit us Tuesday and it was really nice to hang out and catch up with them. Yeska got some great pictures, and I'll have to post some on here when she puts them online.

Noah's newest thing is sticking his tongue out. One day I picked him up from daycare and he just did it all day, its hilarious. Sometime he stick it out to the side as if he's concentrating really hard. He must have picked it up from on of his buddies in daycare because I don't know who would've taught him that here!

I think I've decided to have a Curious George themed birthday party for Noah's first birthday. Knowing me though, I'll probably change my mind at least 4 or 5 times before then.

I found this cake online and it seems pretty easy to make and its really cute. Plus, who doesn't love monkeys and bananas?
