This week just keeps getting better!

Both in the literal and sarcastic senses. First comes first: still no word from the insurance yet. boo. But its okay, because they still have to pay for my rental car. In your face geico!

Second, on one of my awesome 12 hour work days, my lappy's battery a'sploded. :( Sad times... so I'm back on mi madre's compy for the time being. Fun.

Thirdly I had a night terror last night. And I mean a terror of terrors. I woke the whole family up, and they thought that it was it. Apparently I screamed so horrible everyone thought I was maimed, and by the time I was woken up after I ad screamed and ran to my parents room, Dog, Dad and Brother were in the hall to my room looking for fight. It was awesome. Then My mom almost had a heart attack, and nearly fainted. My dad let me sleep in his stead with my mom, camping out with the dog in the living room. My mom and I watched HGTV until 3 or so in the morning. I woke the house up at 2:30am, and I had only gotten to sleep about 1 or 1:30. :( AWESOME. Not reading my super natural themed book tonight, needless to say.

Lastly, in the awesome news: I had an interview today with The Old Globe as a stitcher! It was so awesome! I was really nervous, but it ended up being so much less hard than I thought. Alls I did was fill out an application and then sew up some samples for them. I hadn't ever really made the things they asked me too (princess seam, zipper shank and blouse cuff with under-tuck). I am happy to say that I was perfectly able to complete these tasks! Yay! Hopefully I will get it, although it will make my summer way hard. But if it's what I need to do, I will do it. I'm just happy right now that I got to experience it. :)

Super Bowl!

Going to the Lenches for a super bowl 'party' which consists of Jeni, Rick, and our family. Fun times! I plan on knitting the majority of the time, taking breaks to maybe eat and junk. I also have plans on reserving my copy of Soul Silver! (comes out 10 days after my birthday!) Exciting times.

I've been car hunting off and on in my spare time. I've been more or less able to find cars suitable at a price I can pay. We still don't know yet though, seeing as the insurance company is being shighsty. Fun times.

On a high (and nerve-wracking for me) note, I have an interview/audition on wednesday to be a stitcher for the Old Globe's festival season! Go me! I need to get a portfolio of things I've made put together, and prepare to make a sample for them, in front of them. Good times, hopefully. Good luck to me!
