Inadequacies

I took a break from blogging for a while, mostly because I became so engrossed in what I was doing (ie reading) I completely forgot. So here's my notice that I am alive and well.

I'm alive and well.

I had a really good, relaxing weekend. Well, I worked. But other than that, nothing really interesting happened. Apparently there was some marathon in town that drew a lot of foreigners to town, and because of it, I had a lot of foreign people. I had a whole conversation at the register with a woman from Venezuela, who only spoke spanish. It was cool.

Tonight I've been filling out an application to be an aupair. It's like applying to college all over again, except this time it's for people who will scrutinize me down to the last freckle instead of the last Algebra grade. I'm feeling all of those application inadequacies, where, in a nutshell, I know that I'm made of awesome and that I'm a great babysitter and a good person, but how the heck do I convey it all to them?! I'm worried about it, but there's nothing I can do about it, really.

With that, I'm going to go choose another book.

P.S. My baby (aka the school newspaper) placed 2nd in the district TAPPS (Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools) competition!
