a much-needed update

so things are getting better. and this is a relief for sure. the crazy first construction project where we jacked the woman's house off its foundation is on pause while some other people put her hardwood flooring in, and this means we are working on a really nice house by duke that the couple hasn't moved into yet. tiling and cabinets and hardwood flooring and crown molding are the projects here, and they're much better. i'm still wo' out everyday, and i don't think that is going to get any better with more time, because i've just decided i am not supposed to be in the heat that much. i'm the sweatiest person alive quite possibly, and i just don't get down with being that nasty. the couple seems nice. she is a professor at duke (my brother is supposed to find out what she teaches for me, because i'm curious about these things), and he does something where he is traveling all the time. still not much free time ever, but i'm making it work the best i can.

i had sat off, which was really great, but i didn't get any of the things done i wanted. i did get to talk with jordanna for a while on the phone, though, which made me very happy. and i went out with brian and our friend susan and spent today with them, and seeing eva and alison who are going to be fully moved here in a couple weeks. i'm very excited about that.

my mom's not been feeling well, and she's leaving for montana tomorrow until the 13th. yes it's for that crazy church, and i'm not that thrilled about that, but i hope she has a great trip with my aunt and her cousin. she needs to get away from work at the very least. but i will miss her.

i'm excited to hear about jen's moving into a house in asheville! i miss all of you so much, and it will be so wonderful to see you first of all as my return to asheville! i talked to kenny the other week and we have tentative plans to go to the zoo with mark and jordanna some weekend. other than that i have been out of touch, and haven't seen or talked to anyone much with my new work schedule, but i intend to get much better at managing that.

i finished watching arrested development on alluc and it made me think of you guys and miss you all even more. brain and i got drunk on wine and books and watched the 3rd season in like 2 days pretty much. i can't even decide on my favorite parts. we may need to watch it again. i am also trying to get bam bam and celeste for him to see!

i guess that's all the update really, but i hope you all are well and happy! .:MUCHLOVE:.

also this is one of my favorite singers - gina rene, and this is her new song "be the change," which you can buy for $1 at cdbaby.com. it's really inspired much in the same way as the yes we can video. just thought i'd drop that on ya. enjoy :)
