OK, folks. Here we go, a la bullet points, because there is just TOO much stuff happening (good things!) and it’s Friday, and I’m about to run out the door for the temping gig I have. But, obviously I feel the need to share my MAJOR news. Because I HEART you all.
- I guess I didn’t really convey in my last post just how decided I am in the whole leaving-Boston-thing. Honestly, I’m about 95% sure right now. Columbus, Pittsburgh, NYC and Atlanta are all on my list. In that order.
- That being said, I will be in Columbus next Friday for an IN PERSON JOB INTERVIEW which I am pumped about. Fingers crossed, folks, fingers crossed.
- Whiiiiiich brings me to my next point. I’m going home on Thursday, and because the fates have been OH SO KIND to me/us, bXY is going to also be in PA. 45 minutes from my home. SO WE ARE MEETING NEXT THURSDAY. I’M GOING TO MEET WHOM SOME HAVE DUBBED “MY SOULMATE FROM ANOTHA STATE.” Oh. Em. F*ing. Gee. I’m beyond excited. Beyond. Butterflies. Flitting about. Smitten-ness, everywhere. (Yes, I totally just made that word up.) But so, so happy. (Yes, we’ve already talked about all these things listed above, and I’m 95% sure he’s reading. Hi honey! Less than a week! Yay!)
- Also exciting was that last night I joined up with Megabrooke, and saw three amazing acts in one concert. If you don’t know of April Smith, Ari Hest, and Ingrid Michaelson, you should. Trust. All three? Awesomeness. Total. Awesomeness.
- EDGAR IS DEAD. RIP, you bastard. No, seriously. It was actually quite the process. HotRoomie and I noticed a smell coming from our kitchen, and after RIPPING apart our kitchen, cleaning out EVERYTHING and what have you, we finally called the management people to come check it out, because we KNEW in our heart of hearts there was a dead animal. Somewhere. People, there was drilling. They had to rip off the baseboards of our kitchen. Sure enough, Edgar had passed onto mousey hell heaven. You’ll be happy to know though, that our kitchen is smelling fresh as a daisy once again, and all holes have been sealed so as to protect us from running a halfway home for mice in need. All together now: YAYYY.
- Remember this post? Particularly the one about one of my best guy friends making the biggest mistake of his life marrying this chick? He called me yesterday. The wedding is May 31st. It’s been “postponed.” Thank the Lord. I do feel terrible for him though, he’s really upset about it. But, we all know how things have a strange way of working themselves out. Keep him in your thoughts folks.
Okay….I think I’ve thoroughly managed to blow your minds with the amount of crap that has taken place in the past two days. Such is the life of BB. That being said…
Happy weekend, folks! Hope it’s a great one!!!

Good luck on your interview!
May 16, 2008 at 11:52 am
Ooh happy thoughts for Columbus interviews!
May 16, 2008 at 12:06 pm
You can’t move Atlanta up higher on your list?
May 16, 2008 at 12:09 pm
had a fun time at the concert last night! i dig ari and his HOH.
May 16, 2008 at 12:11 pm
I am going to seem like a stalker, but I have mega family connections in Columbus that include a head recruiter for a well known clothing brand, so let me know if you want email addresses or information! I have zero idea what you do for a living (I’m sort of a new stalker. Hahah) but I’m all about sharing the job connections!!
May 16, 2008 at 12:12 pm
eee too exciting about bXY! and good luck on your interviews!
How’s the Van-city wedding plans comming?
May 16, 2008 at 12:19 pm
I’m glad things are starting to feel lighter and more like an opportunity! Best of luck with the interview!
PS. I don’t know if it’s just me, or what, but your feed is weird on my google reader. It subscribed me to about 10 of the wordpress blog posts, and yours were below– but the feed is still apparently yours!
PPS. Vancouver wedding plans?? Wha….? (that’s my hood!)
May 16, 2008 at 12:41 pm
They call Atlanta, Hotlanta and the Dirty Dirty.
Probably because being hot makes you sweaty and disgusting.
May 16, 2008 at 12:49 pm
Good luck on your interview!
May 16, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Oooo, am so happy for all the goodness. And can’t wait to hear all about bXY. How very exciting!
Good luck on your interview too!
P.S And like PP, in Google Reader you look like some WordPress Admin Blog. But it links to you. Very strange.
May 16, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Good luck with the interview! I almost missed this post, because I, too, had about 10 WP posts to scroll through before I could actually find the ones you’d written.
And yay for blogger meet-ups! Super excited for you
May 16, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Ooh, the butterflies, they are awesome. I love it! Congrats on all accounts, BB. I knew you would recover – and in fabulous style, I might add
May 16, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Good luck! I’ve never been to Pittsburgh, but since I’m a Philly resident, I’m going to say Philly is better
May 16, 2008 at 2:27 pm
You would choose Columbus?? Where it’s all green and pretty and people have those overrated midwestern values? Over Phoenix?? Where it’s already so freaking hot and everyone is crabby and no one has any equity in their homes and the freeway system sucks?? Whatever dude. You need some priorities.
So what are you wearing to the interview? And to meet bXY? Wear yucky underwear so you don’t sleep with him on the first date (okay so I’m, old fashioned). bXY I mean, not the interviewer. But on second thought whatever gets you the job. Kidding! Or am I?
May 16, 2008 at 2:36 pm
Happy weekend to you too, my dear. That IS a lot to happen (and more to come!), but it sounds like a lot of good things are coming your way…
I’m so happy for you!

May 16, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I am SOOO excited for you…BUT WHY ISN’T L.A. ON THAT LIST??? Hmmmm????
May 17, 2008 at 11:10 am
Congratulations on the interview!!!!!!!!! I must say though, NYC needs to be further up on that list….
And that is sooo exciting about meeting bXY! I can’t wait to hear details. Everything sounds like its going well.
For some reason your blog has been replaced on my google reader by some wordpress admin shit. I’m trying to figure it out. I will have my Barbie showing up on my reader, damnit!
May 18, 2008 at 1:28 am

And, um, Philly is gorgeous. Move HERE.
May 19, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Ewwww please not Columbus! That’s where Ohio State University is, and they’re the devil.
May 19, 2008 at 12:48 pm
good luck in columbus! yay for interviews! and woo for bxy
May 19, 2008 at 1:09 pm
I’m with April…try Phoenix.
Barbies look really hot with a sunburn and dripping with sweat.
As far as the wear the old underwear thing…as a back up, don’t shave your legs either. That will keep his hands off of you!
(Again…the date, not the interviewer…I mean who wants “THAT” kind of job?)
LOL
