yippy skippy

guess what? I AM THE LUCKIEST GAL ON THE PLANET.

why? (besides all the obvious...evie, jeremy, my kick ass family, etc etc etc) because it has taken me less than a month to find the job of my dreams!

starting January 8th, i'll be working for the Graduate Employees Union at Michigan State University. it's a half-time position, and i'll be doing some incredibly exciting work that is right up my alley! (and bonus, no fundraising. ) and, beginning on the 2nd of January, I'll be taking on a contract at Clean Water Action--doing some work with large donors, newsletters, database fun--all kinds of neat stuff! for those of you keeping score, by the way, January 8th is also Evie's birthday. as I type, the little one (who will be two years old--be still my heart) is sleeping (snoringly) peacefully in my and jeremy's bed. poor babe has a cold (as we all do in this house...sore throats, coughs, etc.). I'm sure we'd all feel better (FASTER) if, say, we would sleep more/play less risk and so forth.

ok--i need to start making dinner (tonight's challenge: find something non-tomato based that jeremy will eat. he told me i make lots of tomato-based foods...all this coming from the man who won't eat any type of mushroom, squash, sweet potato...) and grab another cup o coffee. and figure out where the gift receipts are, to take some things back tonight. and wrap some gifts. and do some laundry. and finish the dishes. oy oy oy!
