Wii!

Reasons why things have been good lately:

1. We got a Wii! Actually, the family I live with got a Wii, so we all play Wii Sports for hours in the evening. It's so awesome! I found that I am instinctively good at Tennis, and remain unbeaten (woot!), and I have a love/hate relationship with Golf (I find it interesting but I HATE getting triple bogeys and what-not). But the family favorite is bowling, so we play that all the time. Wii!!!

2. Weather has been awesome. At the same time as Minnesota has been getting record lows, we're up in the 70s, which is warm even for here right now. I lounged around reading a book for hours the other day in a tank top.

3. Said book is nice. After trying (and failing) to read "The Case for Hillary Clinton" (it should have been titled "The Case Against The Hillary-Haters"), I rented "A Million Little Pieces", and this is a book I can get into. I just hope it gets happier at some point because it's rather depressing.

Job?

Eee! So, I got a call from a friend of mine today, saying she's leaving her job and would I like it? It's doing a show at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, which is right up my alley. It's training, and working in a team, and doing shows. In short, exactly what I've been looking for. Granted, it's in San Diego, and I'm not thrilled about moving down there, but I can't let an opportunity like that pass me by. While San Diego is expensive and I only know a few people there, it is at the bottom of my very short list of places I'm willing to move to. My friend left partly because she was having problems with the people she had to work with, so that could be a problem, but I'll never know unless I give it a shot. And dude, I so need this. Being jobless, besides creating a lot of money stress, has been really bad for my self-esteem. It was a huge bump to think now I have a very serious option, and my friend was glowing in her praise of me. Awwww! I really needed that.

Anyways, so I have to send in my resume, and probably do an interview, but things are finally looking up for the first time in a while. Yay!
