ASAP, i'm going to Austin for three interviews. and that is one of them. thanks for the reminder though. when you're nuts, things tend to fall through the cracks. the baby is due any day and i intend to tell my boss that i want three days off. or a week. whatever it takes to spend time with Connie and Bella and baby and do furious driving between the interviews. i got an Austin "style" haircut...spikey and wild looking. i have the right clothes ready. i'm just trying to get through the week and finish the christmas framing jobs. i'm getting a little more $ from NM and it will provide a big cushion for rent, deposits and such. will try to trade truck for little cute car. (it has to be cute)

speaking of clothes, i know you have an idea of how tickled i'll be to get back into my loose linens and cool tees. i wear jeans and old tee shirts to work here. i do wear my "bob" shirt occasionally and one day i wore my "ross perot for president" shirt. speaking of bob, bill (who is in China) is back. sent a ring from a street market in Peking. i think he thinks that rings are my weakness and they aren't. but it is the thought that counts, right? he sent a song that said the more you turn your back on me, the more i want to see your face, etc. etc. etc. it'll take more than that for me to turn around.
