i marvel at unpredictability...

i like to think that seattle's weather is decided much in the same way that i decide what to wear in the morning - a frantic rush hampered by so much indecision that eventually i just kinda give up and put on my crummy fat pants. today's weather was no exception - rain. then clouds. then sunshine. then snow. and finally rain/snow, which we all know is mother nature's fat pant equivalent. what? i don't know what i'm saying. i can't believe you've let me go on this long about the weather. crimeny. i've got far better things to talk about.

like the fact that my roommate, greg, moved back to california last week. my heart would be broken if i had one, which i don't, so let's just dispel that rumor right now. i'd also like to state that i did NOT cry on the phone when we last spoke and that anyone who says otherwise is a slanderous fiend. a slanderous fiend who left his framed cat cross stitching on the wall. which i now claim as mine. so there.

on the upside, it's actually going to look pretty nice on my new apartment wall. but then, everything will because my new place is FA-BU-LOUS! hardwood floors, clawfoot tub, walk-in closet, gas stove. an actual view. and quiet. so much peace and quiet, i almost won't know what to do with myself now that i can actually get a good night's sleep.

and this is all made possible by the fact that i have a brand new, amazing job! my creepy love of all things venipuncture has paid off as i am now a phlebotomist / tissue specimen collection specialist for the fred hutchinson cancer research center. i will get to poke people's veins, parse up their tissue samples and subject these unsuspecting souls to mounds of paperwork - all in the name of ovarian cancer research! yes, your friend here is incredibly weird. incredibly blessed. and incredibly tired. good night, moon.

here's your found item of the day:
