Mary Beth's Friends

Hullo, LJ world! I almost have too much to post, so I'll try to think of the most interesting/troublesome things to post.

Christmas! This Friday! It's happening at my Dad's house this year. (It was supposed to be at the House last year or the year before but, you know, divorce...) I'm very... well, weepy about it. Mostly I'm okay but every once and a while it sneaks up on me and I just start tearing up. Because we didn't have a great family to begin with, you know, but it was still *my* family. Mom's spending the day with Graham (the half-brother that's still speaking to us), while Carl and I are going to my Dad's. I'm fairly terrified that my dad's girlfriend/one-time mistress will be there. Ss there's that.

Had an interview with a library today! I think I would be really good at the job. It's pretty basic, but it would be at a library, so eeee! The lady I interviewed with said I gave a really good interview, so I consider that a good sign. I think there's only two other people up for the job, so I feel like I have a good chance! I'll know by the Tuesday after Christmas.

Speaking of the holidays/unemployment, presents aren't that overwhelming this year. I'm still working on the scarf for my dad, so hopefully that will get finished. And I'm going to break out all those cookies I froze and finally start baking them up and delivering them. My set up is very classy!

Been listening to a lot of old jazz classics recently. I can't pinpoint why, but I used to listen to a lot of this stuff in high school, so maybe it's nostalgia? I'm talking about Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald and the like. It's been comforting, plus these songs keep reminding me it's the holidays, for some reason.

Alright. I have a scarf to finish and some more Beyond Good and Evil to play, so back to the old grindstone!

Current Mood: nervous
Current Music: "Comes Love" - Billie Holiday
