My day improved with a Diet Dr. Pepper (which really DOES taste like the regular ones) and realizing that it's Wednesday and Lost night!!

Still waiting to hear from the mechanics working on BOTH cars, no luck so far. The influx of evacuees from south LA has really impacted businesses down here. Everybody is busier! I even called around checking on rental cars and could barely find any. I had to walk (!) to two different stores just to get the drink I wanted. It's like this all the time now, but we're getting used to. I suppose the economic boom isn't bad for BR, but I hate that it's the result of such a tragedy.

So... I went to the ASLA website yesterday, looking at potential jobs for Patrick. Well, it's a little premature - he still has eight months until he will be on the market, but I wanted to get an idea of what's out there. Looks pretty awesome! Lots of openings in CA and FLA, and quite a few in Atlanta and on the eastern coast... basically from one end of the country to the other! It's so hard to decide where we want to live! I don't know if we should decide on a city, then try to find a job there, or the opposite.

Whatever we do though- we need to start thinking about it. I'm the detail oriented one, and not knowing is killing me! By now, I usually have a few boxes packed and a moving truck reserved. This will be a test of faith for me, I do believe.

Well, I don't have much to say today. I'm going to plop on the couch for a while and read my book.

Aaahh... the life of a stay at home mom.

That is so a joke.
