-I've got a job! Two, actually. They are far from my ideal jobs, but they work for the present time. They are:
...Bookstore X & Shoe store Y. At the bookstore I am sales associate, while I have somehow miraculously snagged a job as keyholder at the shoe store. A keyholder is, for those of you who have never worked in retail, a managerial position. I suppose you are given a key and some responsibility. I'm especially excited about working at the bookstore b/c, well, I lurve books! And if there is anything I can get excited about when trying to sell something, then it's books. I'll be working part time at both of these jobs but they should add up to nearly full time work. We shall see. At this point, it's just good that I'm employed.
-I was able to get my loan payments deferred for 6 months. Yay! This is sooooo, so good. I was paying $200/month, which is a huge, huge expense. This is a huge relief and will enable me to save more money.
-I went to Knoxville last week and hung out the oh-so-lovely Lu. I had an absolutely awesome time there. I love hanging out with Lu and it was a good break for me - a good change of pace for a while. I also went to some of her classes and I took full advangtage of some free education. I also went to a club with her and some of her friends. This was a hilarious and head-trippy time. I got really drunk on cheap beer and bootydanced with her friends. Who-wee. We also hit up this sweet hookah joint, which withheld many mellow times. Good times, indeed.
(Poster from Knoxville club.)So that's that and this is this.
I'm optimistic. Hope it lasts!

Amber I missed you this week, I'm glad to hear you got two jobs! the bookstore one is perfect for you!
Mitchell and I have found the perfect apts. they're lovely, and you know if you're still looking to come to Knoxvegas let us know asap, cause the 2 bedrooms are like 600 something but well worth it~
p.s. our apt would be so "green"
and would constantly smell like vinegar
Congrats on landing the jobs, Amber! It was so nice meeting you and so glad you could stay for a nice meal too. Hope it wasn't too boring hanging out with old married folks. :) Sorry I didn't get to send you off properly but the old "milking machine" calls, eh?!?! Anyway, I hope you come back again soon when things are quite so crazy.
Oh and thanks again SO MUCH for the loverly book. I have adding many Fiona quotes to the "words to remember" journal. It is such a priceless gift!
Loads of love from Cedar Bluff! xx Kimberly
