streets on the china, never met her before

this week:

1. someone hit the side of our parked car & left a fat dent.
2. a promising applicant accepted a position at work. two down, six to go.
   
3. another promising applicant is no longer returning my phone calls. it feels strangely like dating - wondering what happened & never knowing why... it sucks. i was so hopeful & now i'm scrambling for more good people. where does one find them??
   
4. my shoulder is improving. my back, however, is unchanged. (do physical therapists pay for chiropractic care when they injure one part of you while treating another part??)
   
5. i had a large X taped across my back, holding my shoulders in the "correct" position.
   
6. i put my seedlings out on the roof for some much needed sunshine, only to watch some crazy little bird massacre them. he tore stems in half & ripped plants apart - that little bastard!
   
7. i made some AWESOME sleeps this weekend whilst D was sleeping on the couch - he's been sick with a cold & nice enough not to wake me with coughing, etc.
   
8. we're heading to ohio for a long holiday weekend & we're SO EXCITED!!! it's been way too long since we've seen the cool kids. we may get to see them again on our trip to stl louis, in early july, because we'll be stopping in columbus, OH for the tom waits concert.
   
9. i'm working on cutting out my cup of caffeinated tea in the mornings. it's going ok... but it kinda sucks.
   
10. in the shower this morning, i learned that i had the lyrics to the Mr. Belvedere theme song all wrong. seriously though, leon redbone could enunciate a little more...
