ok ok ok fine

I've totally overextended myself. We all knew I wasn't going to post anything last weekend, right? Anyway, here is a quick wrap-up of my life as of late.

First, photos. I have many, many, MANY photos to work through. We recently got a new computer, and in the process of converting from Windows to Mac, my organization system for them has become slightly less ... well, organized. It needs work. Work which I will not get a chance to even begin until November probably. So just a heads up.

Adam finished his thesis. I'm really proud of him. The rewrite started by literally cutting the whole thing up into pieces and storyboarding it on the wall in our hallway. I have a picture of that ... somewhere. Also, he just took the LSAT and is getting ready to start applying to law schools. Did I mention I'm really proud of him? Adam is awesome.

Becky and David are getting married in two and a half weeks. I'm so happy and excited for them, but I'd forgotten how exhausting the whole wedding process is. Craziness! I threw Becky and Halloween-themed bridal shower last weekend, which was pretty fun. I tried to go for a whole glam-goth Moriticia Addams thing, but I'm most proud of the invitations I made for it. Just trust me, they were awesome. Also, I found out that the process of paper crafting silhouettes is really quite time consuming.

Work is crazy. I applied for a more interesting and higher paying position in another department (I didn't get it, for the record), and because my company requires full transparency in the application process I informed my supervisor that I had applied. She them informed me that my performance review was the next day. Great timing, that. Actually, considering the circumstance, the review went fairly well. Then, I was approached by yet a third department, who wanted to let me know that they will have an opening soon and hope I will apply. The only problem is that I'm not sure about the long-term stability of that position ... as in, I think it may no longer after a few months. I know layoffs are imminent in my department, but I actually think I just might scrape by through that. Is it worth the risk to apply for this other job? It's more money, but what if I'm out of a job in a few months? But then, I'm not entirely in the clear with that little display of loyalty I put on there ... so I'm really not sure what to do from here. Suggestions welcome.

Ok, so this post is really long already. It's only about 1% of what's been consuming my time and energy lately, but I'll have to pick this back up another time. The debate is on, and I really want to watch it.
