Also, today I secured summer employment! It's part time and I'll be looking for something else restaurant-y, but I am *so* excited about this job. It's watching two little girls, 3 and 7, who are both gorgeous and seem really fun, with distinct personalities, outgoing, interesting...it's going to be really nice for me. I miss being around kids so much that I've begun just staring hungrily at the cute ones I see in the street, which makes their parents uncomfortable, I'm sure. I just...love kids. I love them. Sometimes it makes me feel like a reject from the 50s, all housewife-y and such, but mostly it just makes me happy. I love kids and kids love everything, and it's a window into that kind of joy, when life was only possibilities and porcelain tea sets and glittery rock collections and bubbles, to name a few things these two girls reminded me I used to love. So it will be nice to spend a few days a week with these unbelievably cute kids (in their incredibly classy and well-appointed house, driving their parents' fairly nice car, lounging by the pool using the pool pass they bought me so I can watch the girls at their lessons, making 12 bucks an hour) reminding myself that life is still something that can inspire wonder and simple delight, and that someday I will have a family of my own.
And I still hate Shakespeare.
