Well, I've calmed down a bit since my last post. I finally bought a lawn mower. I haven't used it yet because it's been NON STOP RAINING here. As a matter of fact, there is water all over my basement, but I am not going to get excited or angry about it. I am just trying to accept these things. Fortunately, most of the things I have down there are in plastic totes or on shelves. As for the smell, well...what can ya do?
Here's my new lawn mower. It's not inexpensive, but it's really cool and it works even without the battery. It should last a while on my small yard. Thanks to Google ads for referring me to this neat little machine! posted by kristar 9:06 AM

At the risk of sounding like a spoiled brat, I FUCKING HATE OWNING A HOUSE!
I just keep finding things that I hate about my house. And I find my foot making black marks on my cupboards and my hand creating dents in the sink (I know I have some anger management issues) because I am so pissed off at something that doesn't work or is just fucking annoying! I was not meant to own a house.
I have some brand new, never been used water skis to unload. I think I will put them up on eBay sometime soon! I have a lot of other stuff too, but I might just sell it next month at the garage sale I was planning. posted by kristar 7:28 AM
On reaching an office complex complete with little shop on the ground floor in case I need tampons, do I pretend to ENJOY the cup of coffee I have snatched from stressed foreign people in a faceless eat-all-you-can-before-you-die deli, even though it tastes like shit, like all New York deli coffee, but I am so middle class bleeding heart pinko liberal that I pretend I prefer it to Starbucks? posted by kristar 8:52 AM
Last night I had a dream that I was in India. And it was snowing there. But the snow was warm and people crouched in the snowbanks to keep warm. When I woke up I was sweating. I guess it's time to bring out the window unit a/c... posted by kristar 7:13 AM

My sister's baby is due mid-July and shortly thereafter I was planning to go to Turkey for my friend's wedding. My sister and her husband told me that if I do go to Turkey, I will be on a 30 day quarantine (this means I can't see the baby, except through photos, for 30 days after I return). That sucks! posted by kristar 9:36 AM

The interview with the H.R. person was more like a meeting than an interview. She went over all of the benefits and then discussed with me what would be required of me (drug test, physical) should I be offered the position. That same afternoon I received a phone call from one of the people in the department where the position is and she asked me to come back to meet two other people from the department. Anyway, that meeting took place yesterday. At the meeting I found out I was one of two candidates to whom they'd narrowed their search. Suddenly it hit me that I could get this job and it scared me. I was talking to one of my friends about the feeling I had and she said I'm like those girls that are turned off once a boy starts liking them. I think it's kind of true! Shoot. I don't know what to do now. I'm kind of hoping it's not offered to me - not because I love my current job, but I don't feel like I've looked around enough. The job for which I interviewed isn't my dream job. As a matter of fact, it's not even close. Then again, I don't know what my dream job is. But, I know this isn't it.
I still don't have a lawn mower. I'm embarassed at how long the grass is getting. I am thinking about just buying an old school reel mower. It's cheap and it doesn't require gasoline or a long extension cord. The only thing that concerns me is how close it gets to the sidewalk. Maybe I need to just do some edging. My yard needs a whole lotta work! posted by kristar 10:12 AM
