update

well, it's been several months since i updated. i got a job. like a paying job. well, it doesn't pay much, but it does pay. and to sum it up, i get paid to discuss vaginas. but enough about that. i have been saying all along that i think a job would be good for me. and in a lot of ways, it is. but in a lot of ways, it sucks. that wouldn't really distinguish it from most jobs, i guess. except for that vagina thing.

it's a law job. so my dad (and sallie mae) would be happy that i am using my $60,000+ law degree. only i don't feel much like an attorney. especially considering that i only work a few hours a day. of course, i don't consider myself an alcoholic and i drink a couple of hours a day - so i guess it all evens out.

and the kids are fantabulous. my daughter is flourishing in middle school - with more braces and awkwardness than almost anyone else in her grade. and my son mac has only threatened to kill two people this year! i shouldn't joke about this because threatening to kill people at school is a pretty big deal. but if you know the real stories, it's not nearly that bad. the first person he threatened to kill was cassandra - and well, she LOVES justin bieber - that alone justifies it for me, but i also know that cassandra and mac are friends, so i know he said it in a loving way. and then there was madison. madison was making fun of mac and while it might sound bad that he would make such a threat, madison is a tell-it-like-it-is african-american girl that i love, that is about two heads taller than mac and that could take mac down with one hand tied behind her back. the bright side is that mac's teacher loves him and she only has to call me to come and pick him up early about once a week. fortunately, my new job is flexible and by now my employers have low expectations.

and i know, after reading all of these entries (because i know how dedicated you are to my blog), you are wondering if i am still enjoying cereals and beer and the answer is a resounding kind-of. the beer - yes. not only do i enjoy drinking beer, but i have taken to photographing it and posting it on facebook. as for cereal, well, i have developed some kind of intolerance for wheat and i have been trying to cut back. but like the vagina talks, you just don't want to know about that. trust me.
