This is partially because Kaitlyn and Zach got me this wonderful thing for my birthday! It is one of my favorite presents ever. I think it would make the top five things I would save in a fire (#1 Moxie, #2 David ((before you say anything, he is intelligent enough to save himself, whereas Moxie, um, isn't)), #3 Natalia ((macbook)), #4 bibliofile!, #5-infinity all other books in the house). So I've been writing about my books in there instead of writing about them here.
Also, I've been agonizingly busy cleaning out the home of a recently deceased woman for my organizing job. She had a LOT of stuff - fake flowers, thousands of items of clothing, and dozens of bags of unopened/opened mail. That just got wrapped up this week, for the most part, but it's kind of hard for me to tell because I gave my notice for that job and only worked one day this week. I'm now working at...
Barnes and Noble! I'm head cashier, which is like a regular cashier but more important, probably. Nah, not really - I just have to count the money in addition to handling it. But I also get to organize endcaps and such, which will be great fun! I've been dying to work with books my whole life, and if I have to sell my soul to corporate America, fiat (I've started using italics to denote when something isn't in English because I recently read a book that did it and I thought it was ridiculous). And sometimes I like corporate America. Especially Olive Garden.
Here is what Moxie looks like now! She is getting nice and big, which is fine usually, but bad 1) when she climbs on my head and 2) when she gets on my side of the bed, as pictured. President Obama has said that he doesn't let Bo on the bed, but he'll clamber up there and cuddle with Michelle as soon as Barack leaves, and in this respect (as in so many others - we wish) we are just like the Obamas.
