Express Yourself

Well this week I started at the New York State Library. So far they really don't have much for me to do there. Another job sitting and waiting for the clock to tick faster. But at least this job will look great on the resume.

The best thing about the job is the view out the window. I am on the tenth floor of the building which sits on a high point in Albany. I felt like I was getting vertigo for a bit my first day, but who knows what vertigo even feels like, maybe it was nothing.

Having something to do two days a week isn't so bad. Most people work five days then have two off, for me its the opposite.

Lately we have been going to the local library all the time. The DVD selection is great and Brian has been getting CDs out like its his job. I have been reading so much, I don't think I've read this much since my summer breaks during middle/high school. If I was in a summer reading program now, I would get tons of points for all the books I'm reading.

You can really feel the heat coming now. The weather has been so rainy lately, but now that it has stopped, the heat has started. I love going to the neighboorhood pool here so I hope to go all the time and get a fabulous tan.

Feeling hot hot hot

I turn 25 tomorrow, kinda feeling old. Thank god I have some sort of plan for my life right now or I might be freaking out about 25 more.

The best thing about having a birthday in Albany is going to Bombers and getting your free giant margarita. We now have a new option of a glass boot filled with free birthday beer at the Beer Garden. We tried going there for Brian's birthday but the boot had been broken. Apparently eight boots have been broken since the place opened about a month ago. As much as I like all that free beer I like a free margarita more.

I haven't been writing on this blog as much. Being unemployed is a trial to be sure. When you meet people they automatically ask what you do and when you do nothing that's a bit of a downer question. Anyway, I just really don't have much to write about on this blog unless people want to know all the books and movies I have been consuming.

Since last writing I attended two graduation ceremonies. My friend Anna graduated from Seton Hall becoming a Speech Pathologist. It was a really nice ceremony and all of her friends came out to support her since her family couldn't make it. Brian's ceremony was equally nice. While I sat with his parents I could tell how proud they were of him (me too). I got excited watching him graduate knowing I would be in the same spot in two years, graduating from my program. We figured out Brian's cousin should be at the same ceremony at U Albany with me, so that will be fun.

On Thursday I head off to Michigan for a whirlwind three day visit. I am so excited to go down to Festival again! I really think that Festival weekend is the most fun you can have in Grand Rapids all year long. I haven't been able to attend since the summer of 2007.

Lately our apartment building is like a revolving door. People moving out and in all the time. We can't tell if this is more than normal since we don't usually spend so much time in our apartment. Either way we have new neighbors next to us, hopefully they will be on the quiet side.
