Things to do, people to hang out with

Holly got here on Wednesday night (she's visiting for a month, staying at Maria and Bryan's), so that's pretty awesome to have someone else we know here. She and Maria have been friends for a long time and have all these stories of crazy things they've done, like travel around the whole country with only $200. Maria jokes that Holly has a horseshoe up her butt because she has incredible luck no matter how wreckless she is. :)

Yesterday was pretty normal.... Lazy start in the morning, then Jeanie had an interview at Mama's Fish House (they do this wonderful thing where they get your hopes up only to tell you they're actually not hiring right now, they just like to do interviews as people apply) and I went to the beach and got a teeny bit of a tan. In the afternoon we went to Kahului to apply for jobs. I applied to or left my contact info at Starbucks, Borders Express, Old Navy, Baskin Robbins, Jamba Juice, and a bridal shop, in addition to inquiring at a few other places. It's exhausting filling out those irritating applications. That brings the total jobs I've applied for to just under 20. I was trying to keep track of them all, but it's kind of impossible.

Then in the evening we went to a Christmas party/birthday party for Rick at Bamboo Gate. It was fun to do something social, even if we mostly just hung out with Sarah (who used to work for Retha and Rick) and Reynolds (her boyfriend; he lives across the street). We came back and played Scrabble with Holly and Maria--they are seriously pros at it.

Jeanie's at the doctor again because her pox haven't gone away, and I am going to start working, instead of going to the beach with Maria and Holly and Kieva and a bunch of Kieva's little friends :( Yes, I am actually bummed about missing a day with a ton of three year olds. It's just nice to have people to hang out with. Haha, I sound so sad. Pity me!
