Title Goes Here
8.23.2005
This weekend has been pretty eventful and an "I haven't done anything of interest in so long that at this point, anything is interesting" sort of way. Friday, consisted of a HUGE fight with my mother (the "YIKES!" kind). Later, in the evening,my friend Tessa and her son Lucas came to spend the weekend. We ended up going to the mall where I was caught reading on a bench, while waiting for them in a toy store. The woman who sat down next to me initiated a converstation. Turns out she the head librarian (I think they're called that) at a local library.
She and I dicussed books for a while, and as she was leaving she mentioned to me she was in need of three new people, in her district. She suggested I fill out an application and handed me a card with a link to the form on it. I think I'm going to do it. Even though I've been the rear end of many 'naughty librarian' and 'old lady with 1,000 cats" jokes since I first made mention of it, I still think I may go for it. Who knows?
Saturday was spent by first getting up dangerously early to make cookies and breakfast burritos for 15 people, then rushing it all over to book club where I commenced to speak for nearly two hours while, sleeping. I took Tessa with me, who being the meanace that she is, sat in the front row, mocking me until I had to call a break so I could run and do a stealth-laugh (the people in my group are all older than I and I didn't want them thinking I was rude). Then after that, more shopping and general hanging around. Saturday night, however, was a different story. Around 1am, after her son had (FINALLY) fallen asleep, Tessa and I popped in a movie. Half way through, I made my way to the kitchen to make popcorn, and through my window, I saw two police vehicles a couple of doors down from mine. The tenants of this house, as well as what appeared to be most of it's contents were spilling out onto the sidewalk. I killed the lights, and we pulled chairs up to my window, and commenced watching the action. At first we thought we were witnessing an infamous meth bust, but turned out, we were out of luck.I'm not completely sure what actually happend, but speculating about what was going on was definately entertaining. I'm pretty sure someone just kicked their boyfriend out and was having trouble removing him though. No one was arrested.
Sunday, after my guests went home, was recovery/catch up day.
Today I received a call from the owners of the building that the craft shop used to be in. They apparantly haven't been able to reach my ex-boss (since May!) and have been unable to attain her back rent payments, so they are going to sell off the stuff that's left in the store. The woman who called said she had heard I was possibly interested in some of the items and that I could have first pick. I'm refusing to buy anything on principle alone, but I'm also passing word along to anyone who might be interested. Soooo..if anyone needs any super nice, really cheap paintings/artwork, christmas decorations, or sport stuff, let me know. I'm not sure what else has been left behind, but I'm going to have to go look this week for a friend, so I'll be happy to make a list. Mrs. S, that goes for the painting you liked too.
