So we were at the beach yesterday. Like you didn't already know that. But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about today.
What I wanted to talk to you about is a movie I saw on Saturday night. We watched Up.
You guys. I do NOT normally recommend movies to people, because I know that everyone has different tastes. Just because I love Little Women, doesn't mean everyone else will. But when it comes to Up, well, basically, YOU ALL HAVE TO SEE THAT MOVIE!!!!
I am absolutely, 234% CONVINCED that it is THE perfect movie. Kids love it. Teens love it. People my age love it. Middle-aged folks. Reeeeeally old people. The theater we watched it in was filled with filled with people from 3yrs - 93yrs.
It was just really amazing, okay? It touched my heart, and I teared up more than a few times, and....what a story. So please go see it. You will not regret it. I promise. Money-back guarantee. Well, I mean, I don't actually know if the theater will give you your money back. But they won't need to, because you will love it as much as I do.
That's all I have to say about that. I'm gonna go look for some more food to eat.

Lovin' Summer
I swear I haven't forgotten about the blog.
I was telling my mom yesterday that it seems as though blogging generally slows down in the summertime. And I mean other people's blogs. I remember last summer, always wondering why people weren't updating as often.
And now I have become one of them. It's summer, the sun is shining, the weather is gorgeous, we live near a beach, and I don't feel the need to be on the computer as much. So even though I'm technically busier, and therefore have more to blog about, expect less blogging from me for a few months.
I'll still have my camera, I'll try to remember to take pictures and videos, but mostly I'll be too busy having fun.
Speaking of the camera, I have been trying to upload some recent pics and videos to put on here to show you guys, but this stupid old laptop has decided that it suddenly doesn't want to do that for me, and I'm more than a little irritated. Looks like I'll have to revert to the annoying drama that is Trying To Upload Pictures Onto the Desktop Computer Where the Screen Is Too Dark To Properly See the Pictures I Have Uploaded.
Fun times.
I don't have a clever ending to this post, but I'm considering washing the dishes, even though I really don't want to, which means I'll probably end up reading.

What?!
Just because I have a job doesn't mean that I'm suddenly busy all the time and have no time for blogging! Or cleaning the house.
Except that's exactly what's happened. :)
Of course, I started my job again on the same day as my birthday party, so I was busy preparing for that, and then recovering from it. And Sozan's birthday is tomorrow, so I'm busy preparing for THAT, and then I'll be recovering from it.
Also, I've been carpooling with Mari, because she's in school, and it's close to where I work, so it's really convenient. And then when she picks me up after work, we hang out. And go to the mall. And go grocery shopping. And by the time I get home, Art is ready to leave the house and go hang out with other people.
So yeah. I've made a drastic switch from doing practically nothing day after day, to barely being home at all during the day. But it's been nice. I'm sure I'll get sick of it eventually; there's only so much socializing I can take before I need to rest and be by myself.
Also, there's only so much busyness I can take before I freak out at how messy the house is, and how I haven't washed the dishes in 3 days. I guess that means that this evening happens to be my "down time", and I'm using it for cleaning. As you can tell. Because I'm on the computer, blogging.
Finally, I would like to tell you that I love my job. My hours have increased this week, from 4-hour shifts to 6-hour shifts. We've transitioned from doing work at someone else's computer while they watch over our shoulders and give us tips, to doing the work on our own computers, and constantly asking questions. And then our work gets double-checked, and they tell us if we missed something, and we correct it.
Isn't that fascinating? Anyway, I like my department, I like the people in it, and I like what I do. I'm still feeling pretty confident, although it probably just depends on the day. Last Friday, I dealt with some pretty strange "situations" that we hadn't really encountered before, and then I couldn't even take notes, so I have no idea what we did, or how to deal with it in the future. So it's great that they encourage millions of questions.
And I won't lie: it's nice to be wearing my cute office clothes again.
Okay, I seriously need to get going. I swore I was going to vacuum before the day is over, and it's getting dark, and I have a feeling Art will want to go sleep early.
P.S. It's 80 F (25C) here these days.
