TODAY IS SUPER FUN HAPPY DAY!!
so much awesome has happened and it's not even two pm!!! life is gooooood.
♥ I GOT A JOB! i will be starting in early august at a small bath/beauty company, doing the packaging. it sounds like basic grunt work but it's a really small company (only two other people work there and one is the owner, but i got along with her so well on the phone) and i'm excited to work closely with two presumably rad ladies! the place is only a half hour away from my house by bus. i am really looking forward to going in to my interview on friday. i like the sound of things already: she told me not to bother dressing up for the interview, she just wanted to make sure we got along. i've been thinking of re-colouring my hair: the white is really not doing it for me this time around and i was thinking baby pink or lilac purple. the owner seems so laid back i'm sure it'd be no problem! i will not be making a whole pile of money but it'll be enough to make significant monthly reductions on my bills and line of credit with some to spare to buy myself dresses and stamps (i write a LOT of letters).
♥ HUS-BOT GOT A JOB! well, this isn't 100%--he has gone through four interviews for this one job and one of the interviewers phoned today and said that off the record he has the job but he has to wait until he gets formally offered it. he will have to go out of town for 12 days to do training but that means a massive girl party at my house every night while he's gone (half kidding).
♥ THE POOL IS OPEN AGAIN! i am so happy, i just had to update before i go suntan and swim. i think i'll do yoga today too. i need to get my body in shape. i'm slim but that does not mean healthy. i eat pretty reasonably but i get very little exercise. i hope to change that in the next few weeks. i started anew yesterday with some yoga.
♥ i have found the best, most important website! the cosmetics database. it's a comprehensive listing of like 20,000 products with a complete ingredient listing for each and a breakdown of how harmful each ingredient is, which gives the products an overall score in harmfulness. i checked out most of my products and they're generally under a 5, but my hair dye (eep...) is a 10. i think in 4-5 months (when i run out my fancy pants salon shampoo) i'm going to dye my hair low-maintenance dark brown and use homemade shampoo and stop dyeing my hair! i'm also going to be phasing out my beauty products that have a rating higher than 4 from that website. i have no reason to poision my body unecessarily. the effects of chemicals on human living systems is not widely enough publicised to make me happy. sure maybe chemical x is not too bad if you use it once a day in a low dose but what happens when you encounter it in several products per day? i'm a big supporter of more natural living.
♥ i just had an awesome, long talk on the phone with my mom. she is the best lady ever.
♥ i got a huge letter from my edmonton pal jenanne. she is so interesting and loveable and she sent me blood orange black tea. it smells SO GOOD.
♥ pool time!! i feel on top of the world right now.
a small request: please tell me one or two songs that would be on an essential summer mix cd. i'm not sure what my answer to this is. i'll figure it out and tell you later.

It's very weird to me.
also, i am completely enamored of mika as of late. "lollipop" and "big girl" particularly.
