Pi Girl

Technically, Janice and Serkan were married in December of 2006. Or April 2007 if you’re Turkish and got to go to the first celebration. But we finally got to celebrate here in the States on Saturday. Jason has the photos and I have no idea what they look like but if they’re good, I’ll post a gallery. I danced to an interesting mix of music, drank lots of wine and managed to not get any of the chocolate fountain on my dress. And it was so nice to see the Ithaca group again, I don’t get to see them nearly enough.

So, last night was the Emmys. And the only really enjoyable parts were Ricky Gervais, Stephan Colbert and Jon Stewart. Oh, and this brilliant piece. It’s not so much that I think a medley of 30 tv theme songs needs to be done or is all that great itself. But it makes me think I should move Josh Groban higher on my list of awesome people. After all, he did that Jimmy Kimmel bit.

Why I will never be bored with my darling hubby:

Erin: I’m going to Wegmans later. Do you need anything?
Jason: Yes. I’m out of shampoo.
Erin: Do you like what you were using or do you want to try something different?
Jason: I didn’t really like it. Get me some dandruff shampoo. But make sure it’s the manly kind.
Erin: Well, that kind was for men. I can try another brand.
Jason: Yeah, get me something that smells good and fruity. Maybe mango or coconut. As long as it’s the dandruff kind.
Erin: Uh…the fruity kind is “manly”?
Jason: Ok, so I changed my mind.

Wow, it’s been a while. Sorry about that. It’s not that I’ve been all that busy, I guess it was more that I didn’t have much to say. I’m looking for work. I’m enjoying a long vacation.

While I don’t entirely mind being home all day, I feel a little lost. I can’t exactly make permanent plans like volunteering or joining some group because I will get a job at some point. And it will make me busy again. And I’m fairly certain I will be moving which will take me away from whatever it is.

So, I watch a lot of tv, catch up on chores and doctor’s appointments and make a ton of plans to keep me out of the house.

The fun part is I’ve been able to play with alot of friends on their vacations: I’ve been to the lake with Jen and Amber, to see the Northern Blend rehearsal in Watertown with Sandy, to the Bay with Jason and the in-laws, to Maryland to see Janice’s new digs, anywhere and everywhere around town with Michelle.

I do have some interviews lined up. I hope they’re the right opportunities and pray I’ll find something before my severance runs out. And while I’m excited about those opportunities, I feel bad whenever one of my local friends asks how the job hunt is doing, and I have to report that no local companies are calling me back, just the ones too far away for me to stay here. And I have to lump Jason into that local friends category because I know he really likes his job here. But unless I win the lottery, we can’t really sustain ourselves on a newspaper photographer’s salary alone.

So, I guess to sum up my life in a nutshell at the moment, I’m relaxing and de-stressing, but my life’s in limbo while I try to impress potential employers which is kind of stressing me out, especially since it might mean that I have to disappoint some friends when I do find something (and I WILL find something), which has me bummed. But hey, I’m getting a lot of sleep now.
