Jobs and stuff

I start training for my new job today- at the Children's Place. Should be interesting. Two hours of training and then 16 hours of work this weekend. Yikes! I just hope I am up for it. Talked to Jackie last night, and she gave me our itinerary for the trip to Colorado. We get to go white water rafting, and then gambling in Cripple Creek. I hope I win big! Ha! Sad news from Kansas though - my sister-in-law had a miscarriage; don't know much more than that, but I heard that she is doing okay. Nick saw John Kerry last Friday- here for a cancer symposium. Well, technically he saw just the back of his head, but it's still exciting. I know I would have been excited. I have been rereading the Harry Potter series, hoping to absorb as much as possible until next summer and the 7th year finally comes out. Oh, and I finished reading an interesting book of essays...read it if you are able to: it's called Jesus is Not a Republican. Really good book; some funny and thought-provoking essays. Well, that's really all. I'll post more later.

You think Harry Potter is coming out next summer? I bet it won't be until at least next winter. My reasoning here is pretty simple. The next harry potter movie is coming out next summer, and no one wants the two to compete w/ one another.

Sorry to hear about your sister.
Good to hear about the vacation.

What exactly will you be doing at your job?

Great to hear about Kerry's back of head sighting.

Jesus isn't a republican. Not a democrat either, I think he's a Libertarian or perhaps Socialist.

Lol...that's exactly what the book is arguing..and I just think that the next Potter book comes out next summer because of the stuff on the Scholastic website, which has an estimated release date of late next summer or late next year too..I am just hoping for the latter.

All I know is that Brad is going to be on his own with the baby while I read the Harry Potter book. :-)
