Aardvark

I didn't know what to name this blog and this was the first thing that popped into my head.

Anyway, God told Adam that He had to name all the animals. Adam said okay, I guess I could do that. So he started with the easy ones -tiger, elephant, panther, eagle...platypus. Then he got to that one... I'll name that one aardvark.

God looked at Adam and cocked an eyebrow...how do you spell that Adam?

Adam looks at God and gives him a shy little smile, with two a's?

Enough of that. My day today started late. Probably because I went to bed late last night. Oh well, stuff happens. I did get applications for Michael's, Babies R Us, World Market, Bed, Bath & Beyond. Oh yeah, I also got an application for Starbucks after my mother treated me for dinner at Whataburger.

Tomorrow, I will return my filled out applications for Family Christian Bookstore, Barnes & Noble and Starbucks. I am also going to start looking into employment agencies here in El Paso. We'll see what I find.

Other than that jazz which rules my life, I've started the friend journal that Erin suggested and that Becca and I will be doing now that I am SO FAR AWAY from Austin. I've also started a new project...my step-dad clued me into it. You take a normal rubber ball the size of a tennis ball then buy TONS of pins and just start putting them halfway into the ball. Once you're done (Joe said it took him 5,000 pins to finish his) you end up with a pretty cool stress ball. Joe started me off by getting me a blue rubber ball and I've bought 1,000 straight pins today and started it before my mom took me out for dinner.

Anyway, other than that, life is alright. I was on the National Issues Forum on Tuesday evening concerning the cost of health care (this was aired on PBS at 6:30PM MST) and then Pastor treated me to Applebee's where I had a Blue Sunset Margarita...the glass was HUGE...well, not HUGE HUGE, but huge Huge...basically, more alcohol than I'm used to.

Yesterday evening, my cousin called to invite me to go bar hopping with him tomorrow night...I said no, since bar hopping is not really my scene. He did let me know he would bug me until I said yes so I told him if he was paying for everything, then I'll eventually say yes.

Now, I am hanging out at Krysia and Stephen's (I wonder how long before they get sick of me), listening to Stephen's World Religions class and, obviously, posting a new blog.

Oh, Becca!!! I introduced my step-dad to Corner Gas and even though it doesn't have Spanish audio and my step-dad doesn't completely understand English, he really enjoyed Oscar LeRoy...go figure. He then proceeded to say that would more than likely be him when he gets older. I responded "Your words, not mine." But I was actually thinking "When? Try now."

Oh, also, Beccs, thanks for updating your blog so soon after the last one. I say, keep it up!!! Even if it's just nonsense about a ho-hum day.

Please keep me in your prayers as I continue to look for employment.
