Swetsville Zoo anyone?

HOUSE

So...  We put an offer in on yet another house...  Looks like everything is going to work out just fine this time.  (Still keeping my fingers crossed.)  Nothing major on the inspection!  It has 3 bedrooms, 1 and 3/4 baths, fireplaces in the family room and living room, 2 car garage and a large and well maintained yard.  So exciting.  Only problem is EVERYTHING is pink and blue.  So weird.  But nothing a little paint can't fix.  I would have taken photos, but the sweet little lady that lives there has been collecting "prized possessions" since 1969...  It's better for all of us to not see that.

JOB

Still jobless, filled out more applications and sent more resumes this week than I know what to do with.  I lost track!  I applied for a couple on campus, which would be nice because I could go straight from class to work in like 10 minutes.  Ugh... Too much going on at once.

RANDOM

On a totally random note, there is this really cool metal sculpture "zoo" down the road, called Swetsville Zoo..  This man just welds all these little creatures together and you can walk around his property and read stories about them.  For a small donation this ended up being more fun than I thought.  Also, all the little kids there seemed to LOVE it!

It's Monday, but I'm not at work

SIGN OF THE TIMES

I guess it's a sign of the times that more companies are closing and more people are getting laid off, so it would be fitting that I was laid off last week.  My boss came from Florida to close us down without any warning.  It was interesting to say the least.  Now I am looking for part time work that will hopefully get me through the school year.  I was thinking a shoe store, but I may NEVER get a paycheck.  We'll see what happens. 

SCHOOL

School starts the 24th.  My last semester as an undergrad at CSU, holy cow!  I can't wait for that and my internship.  For my internship I will be doing 10-15 hours a week at Odell Brewing.  They are adding on to the building because they are brewing at capacity.  It's exciting to be joining such fun and hardworking team.  And, they're doing well! 

Levity - best beer made in town!

MIKE

My brother was recently in a skateboarding accident and hurt his head awfully bad. No football or any other crazy stuff for a LONG time.  We are still saying prayers that he makes a full recovery.  So Jonny and I are trying to make it back to see him and Nikki (yes Nikki, we'll bring the dogs!) before school starts.

TOUR DE FAT

Still trying to figure out what to do as far as costumes.  Hilary and JW should be coming!  Getting ready for the excitement!  Hopefully we have a house by then so we don't have to ride bikes from Timnath...
