This is the post that never begins...

...someone can feel free to cue the Lamb Chop music (i.e. The Song that Never Ends). I swear that I've started like three posts in the last two weeks, yet I never have time to finish and now the fun and spontaneity of the posts seems irrelevant.

November, far from being mellow, has been a month of severe highs and lows. Well, maybe not severe. Anyway, Joshua got a promotion at work. He now drives a forklift and is generally happier with his job. I got the Branch Services Internship with Edward Jones and come January 2nd will be "rolling in the dough." Actually, that's not true, but it is a 40 hr/wk paid internship. That will help us get some things taken care of, so we're pretty excited.

Then the bank f---ed up our money situation, and I can't seem to straighten it out, which is a real low.

But, we have a great place to live, are generally getting along, and life seems to keep getting better and better. For now...

A New Day

I'm tempted to sing a sappy Celine Dion song by the same name, but I feel like I can do without the song and still get my point across. If October was a hellish month, November is sure to be like heaven (that is, if I haven't just tempted fate by saying so).

We moved last weekend into a beautiful new apartment. Both Josh and I are so happy just to be out of the gloomy, crappy hole in the wall we lived in previously that we can't stop hugging and laughing. It's borderline weird. Ok. It's weird.

I finished the paper for Dr. K and the writing center conference, just in the nick of time. We had a wonderful day filled with laughter, sarcasm and a little bit of learning. I also found out that Dr. K and Mrs. Dr. K are expecting so congrats to them.

I have a five page paper due in my Public Opinion class and two four page papers due in PR Strategies (one of which I should be working on now), but other than that, I don't have any real stress for the first few weeks of November. David and V are visiting at Thanksgiving, and in the interim it's time to start shopping for Christmas presents.

November should hopefully be pretty mellow. I'm glad. I need the rest.
