Quingers

another full week has passed. highlights/lowlights as follows:

1. trying to squeeze six years of flossing into one evening didn't work out. looks like i'll be getting some fillings.
2. physical therapist help & hurt... accidentally. it seems 2 "knuckles" in my mid-back have locked together because of some wacky pilates-based exercise i had to do... hm....
3. i truly hate shopping - especially for clothing. ugh. went to the mall tonight in an effort to update my wardrobe. nothing but crap. i don't really understand how people wear these clothes.
   
4. a shopping success story: i've been enjoying a new pair of pj pants for about a week now. bought 'em a few months ago & was about to return them, because i didn't feel i needed them, when dan convinced me to keep 'em. i'm glad i did - they're cute. i was able to retire one of my old pj pants that i've been wearing since freshman or sophomore year in college - roughly 13 years. the whole ass had recently ripped out...
   
5. started planting some seeds at the garden. slow going & i'm keeping my fingers crossed that they sprout. need more kale!
6. had to reject another applicant at work. it sucked - mostly because we'd talked on the phone a few times & emailed quite a bit... so, of course, this person immediately emailed me back that they were shocked & wanting to know why were they rejected. ugh.
7. had been feeling pretty positive about recruitment - the highs of getting strong applicants & interviewing them & the lows of great applicants accepting positions elsewhere... it's a little rough, but not too terrible. met w/ my supervisor at the end of the day friday & now i just feel crappy about it. he didn't say i was doing a bad job or anything like that. but i realized as he was giving me advice, that he would be much better at this than i ever could be. he's SO passionate about it & knows all the ins & outs & he's great with people... whereas, i'm not that passionate & i definitely don't know half of what he knows & i'm sure i don't paint the same picture he does about balto, etc. hm...
8. i need a freakin' haircut!!!!! my hair feels like a rat's nest. i think that's a phrase my mom used to use, "...like a rat's nest." well, i saw my first rat's nest recently & that's when i realized the state of affairs of my hair...
9. helped work on a green roof for a bit today. it wasn't as exciting as i'd hoped. but i did realize how glad i am that i left my old job. my old boss's new boss is a super huge jerk. i may not be in the right job, but at least i don't have that job.

my eyes are closing & i have to go to sleep now. i have 2 new recipes to share & i'll do so in the coming days, when i get a chance.
