no good title...

Yay! we got fully approved for the mortgage, so on june 29th we'll be homeowners! wahoo! The wedding is only 10 months away and i feel like so much is still unsettled! i still have to find a cake lady, i still have to finalize centerpieces and i have to finalize flowers and just about everything else! EEP! I have a list going.....with due dates...we have our engagement pics this weekend so i'll be able to make the save-the-dates for the far out of towners and probably some of the family members since they'll want them....i'm making magnets :)....and i have to finalize the invites this summer...i've decided to do a postcard reply and am actually pretty excited about it! though i'm still debating how i will tie in the postcard back into the original design theme of the invites...ok enough wedding related babbling!

i got the knitpicks options needles! they're sooooooooo awesome! i've actually started knitting at work and everyone is really amused by it! i have decided that i do enjoy knitting and how much fun it can be. I'm going to make my first sweater for a girl who's having a little boy. I figure I'll make it a little bigger but this will give me time to finish it! Any suggestions for a pattern? anyone?

Ok, i need to go packy my apartment up some more!

YAY!

I got the job at the art institute!! it makes for about a 45-1 hour commute instead of a 35-45 but i think it's going to be totally worth it!! especially when i can start on my masters after a year for free! or i could totally take some art classes! how much fun is that!? i start on monday!!

so...i really shouldn't complain i suppose

Ok, so last blog post i'm pretty sure that i made it seem like life was wonderful, and don't get me wrong, it is! The only problem is my job. I've been at this one 2 weeks and have learned nothing and no tasks have actually been assigned as mine. I don't even know what to do daily and after i finish one thing, i have to ask, now what? and to top it all off, no one knows what is going on, it's driving me flipping mad! So I've kinda decided that i'm totally not going to stay at this job, it seemed peachy but the fact is that the office is in a disaster mode and no one is letting me step up and fix it, which I could totally do if i had direction.

Good news? We finally settled everything with the sellers of the house so it's ours! YAY! They didn't fix everything, but they fixed one thing out of 2 so we're kosher with that. And i had an interview at the art institute so hopefully that will have gone well!

I know i shouldn't complain about the job, but it's even worse than dreaded nalco....it makes them look GOOD!
