Sorry its been so long since I blogged my loyal friends and fans!
So much has been going on. I have a difficult time trying to figure out where to start! I guess I can start by telling you all that I have no greater joy in my life then my recently liberated free time. I’ve been camping twice at the Indian reservation, I’ve been to the bars, hanging out with friends and sleeping in. Its been a great break for me!
HOWEVER
For the last couple weeks my roommate and I have been apartment hunting closer to downtown San Diego with mixed results. We find places we like but they’re out of our price range, we find places in our price range but not what we’re looking for. The good news is that we have found a couple places that we can live with (which is key here) within our budget and in great locations. We’ve applied at one and are making more appointments for this next Monday to see some others.
Meanwhile I’d been going back and forth with the resume guru at school tweaking and re-tweaking my resume. We finally agreed on a final draft and I’m proud to announce that I FINALLY have a complete resume suitable for shipping and handing out.

whoot!
SO on top of :
resume tweaking,
free time
and apartment hunting,
I’ve been compiling lists of jewelers I’d like to work for and reading the “about us” sections on their websites trying to get a feel for the shop before I decide to walk in and hand them my resume. I’d like to be comfortable with the idea of the shop (or my perception of) before I hand my resume to the worlds most uppity store in SD.
Needless, the last few weeks have been crazy. I haven’t sat down to relax or spend even a half a day being lazy since graduation. I’ve been moving moving moving!
On top of all of this I’ve been working more hours at my Crate job and I’m happy to announce that I have so many hours THERE that I was able to make this past Wednesday my last day at the worlds worst part time job (rhymes with Nichaels) . I loved the people I worked with there, and have a deep respect for folks who do this kind of work for survival. I will never ever be horrible to a retail employee ever again in my life. Or waitresses. Because they handle the stuff you eat.
Aaaaaaaaand on top of all of THAT I had a friend in town from back home last weekend, so I spent four or five days entertaining her and hanging out (I miss you Nicole!!!!) and it was a really good feeling to see familiar faces. Its only when I see people I love and miss, that I start missing home. Most days I’m fine and focused and love where I’m at… but seeing a good friend or a family member tends to change your mind, at least temporarily (sorry guys, not coming home any time soon. But I miss you all!!)
So as you can see I’ve been quite busy. We have 2 ½ weeks to find a place, move, and get settled. There’s a career fair at my school mid September which I’m bent on attending and handing out my resume. And somewhere in there I’m trying to find the time to head to some of these shops in person.
Help.
Also: I’ve been fixated when possible on the Olympic swimming. I’m certain that Dara Torres is the reason I’m saying this (she’s the 41 year old mother of two in her 5th Olympics and the oldest woman to swim! And in the most amaaaaazing shape of her life) but I’m considering doing a team triathlon with my roommate. I would swim, she would bike and we need a volunteer for the run (Jami, you in?) . I think I operate best with goals. So there’s one. Plus I have a dear friend (Jami!!) in Israel right now training to run the Nike Human Race on August 31st!! YAY!!! ( you can find information here:
http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/humanrace/index.jsp ) and it also admittedly has me inspired to do cool shit. But right now its an idea, and certainly is last on my list of things to focus on. But I’ll keep you all posted!YAY DARA TORRES!! if i look like this any time between now and 41 i'll be happy
SO that’s what ive been up to. I’m sorry again that I’ve been so long! I promise to keep you all updated more frequently even if its boring and short.Until next time my friends, be well.

FINALLY a new post! :) FYI, my mom just found her way to your blog too and she LOVES it.
Anyway, first order of business: F.U. Nichaels! There. I said it.
Second: I'll have to hear how the visit with Nicole went... I haven't seen her online this last week so I can only assume she was there? Anyway, I'll want to hit you both up for details.
Third: I'd totally love to do a triathlon! But a little tip... you'll definitely need to quit smoking. Seriously! I have never been more grateful for quitting the fag sticks than I am right now. Smoke free since '07! ya hoo! Now get on that!
YAY! Hi Lisa!! *waves*
oh and the smokey thing- that only happens when i drink. but you're right. and of course i would if i attempted a triathalon.
but the idea of being one of those hyper healthy minimal boozers really gives me the jeebs. so i'll have to work out a compromise.
Blog something, dammit!!
I love you luckluster and all good luck with the job hunt I know you will do a Crate Job.
