a walk in the park.

instead of retreating to my couch, pajamas and what not to wear reruns on a sunny august afternoon, i went for a walk in point pleasant park today ...

this guy was enjoying his lunch ... shoes off and all.

i found this sea urchin shell on a bench, so i joined it for a while.

i can haz quack.

i walked further than i was planning to and was not wearing appropriate footwear (walking on gravel is usually more comfortable when you are wearing shoes with soles thicker than paper ... ouch!), but it was nice to be outside with all that nature stuff.

pants envy.

shauna and i went to see the new sisterhood of the traveling pants movie last week. i left the theatre with the following thoughts:

i need to add santorini to my list of places i would like to visit.

amber tamblyn should be in more movies. tibby was by far my favourite sister of the hood.

the group of girls sitting at the back of the theatre had to be drunk ... but who gets drunk to go to a pg-rated movie? they were far too involved in the film ... loudly giggling, talking to the characters, clapping during the credits. i'm all for enjoying a movie, but if we had been sitting near them i would have lost my mind and beat them with my shoe.

i wish that i had a group of friends like that (the girls in the movie, not so much the girls in the theatre) when i was in high school. i have been lucky enough to have found some wonderful female friends in the years since graduation ... but, at the same time, i sort of envy people who have friends who knew them when.

moving on.

my job (aka the old new new job) was posted today.

i had kind of convinced myself that it was a money thing, and they cut me for budget reasons ... now that they are searching for my replacement, i realize that it actually was a problem that they had with me. which bothers me more than it should.

it feels like i have a big fat *fail* stamped on my resume ... stamped in invisible ink, because i have removed the position from my employment history ... but i know it's there and it mocks me.

honestly, i just want to forget that i ever worked there ... but moving on would be a lot easier if i had something to move on to.

a return to being impressive.

i had a good interview today.

i don't want to jinx it, but i think i hit it off with the (knock wood) could-be boss and she mentioned bringing me in to meet with one of the senior volunteers. yes, volunteers ... the job is in non-profit ... it's actually the fundraising position that i applied for a few weeks ago.

my fingers are in a permanently crossed position ... it makes tying my shoes quite difficult.

back to our originally scheduled programming.

okay ... i have breathed deeply, i have tried to destress, i have attempted to accept my zen ... and i failed miserably.

well, not miserably ... i am feeling a little bit better.

dad is out of the hospital and doing well.

i am still unemployed, but i have a (hopefully) promising interview tomorrow afternoon.

but i am still a big fat ball of tension and have decided that it can only be fixed by a make-out session with javier bardem (as he appears in the vicky cristina barcelona commercials ... not with the crazy killer dorothy hamill haircut).
