Garage Sale

I spent the weekend with my mom, well Thursday & Friday... not working means any 2 days of a week are a weekend now. We sold a TON of crap. IE $245 worth of 25 cent sales an item is a lot of crap. It was great to see what was almost 6 SUV loads of the past disappear. I sold a lot of my old clothes and my mom sold a lot of books. She is soo ready to be away from our old house, it is selling and she is planning on changing her phone number and literally disappearing. I know it must be hard for her to leave where she lived for 25 years of her life but she is looking forward to "a new chapter" jon gosselin style, LOL.
My dad came down Wednesday afternoon and brought me my moms old roll top desk for the spare bedroom. I just got it all set up and I LOVE IT! I have everything all organized and put away, my laptop and printer set up and the door shut to my "office" I haven't had a desk since Sophomore year of College and I haven't used a desk since Freshman year. I love sitting here knowing I don't have any homework to do and can just relax. Speaking of college, I am getting ready to print off my resume, and cover letter to apply to be a education advisor at MSU. It is a 9month contract, which means I would have 3 months off a year and it doesn't pay terribly, $27k. I am also going Monday to apply to work at Arc of the Ozarks as a House Manager. I'm afraid I don't have enough experience for either job but at the cost of some resume paper and a few stamps it can't hurt to try. For 2 days now, as a college graduate, I felt ridiculous when someone asked me what I was doing now and I had to say I just got laid off last week. I wanted to lie and still say I worked at Fritz but when a friend's grandpa asked what my major was and I said Interior Design, he said so your going to be jobless, I laughed and knew he was right. I love Interior Design and maybe someday it'll be a profitable job but for now, NOTHING. I will be working to pay the bills and my mom keeps telling me I might find a job I end up loving, which is true.
