"one day our generation is gonna rule the population so we keep on waiting, waiting on the world to change" - John Mayer

As I write you all this lovely update, I am snacking on some cheese and crackers. These aren’t just any crackers, though; these are cheese crackers. Yes, spreadable cheese on already-cheese-flavored crackers;
only in Wisconsin. Would you like to hear something completely un-Wisconsin? It is currently 66˚ and mostly sunny. Even the weather is happy that Wisco went blue! That’s as far into the politics as I’m going to go via blog. (Sorry Ryan.)

This past weekend was wonderful: Kaplan came to visit from Minnesota! We watched the season premiere of The OC – as I will continue to do religiously until the finale – and pretty much did nothing. We’re really interesting people, just take my word for it. This weekend actually turned into an unofficial Alumnae weekend, as we were graced with the presence of Kristin and E-beth since their boyfriends’ formal was on Saturday.

Instead of being chic and glam on Saturday, I spent 6 gothic hours wearing my black provided tee shirt, black pants, and black closed-toe shoes in the Fond du Lac Wal-Mart promoting Axe again. As much as these jobs rule, I just wish I had free stuff to give out or, at the very least, a coupon. Instead we have a half-page stuffer-style advertisement to give out. I was actually surprised how well it went.

I was promoting the new line of body washes, and there are four scents. In particular we were focusing on the green one, “Recovery,” but it didn’t hurt to let people smell all four of the scents. Seriously, though, what makes people feel the need to squeeze it out of the bottle onto the top of the dispenser and then close the lid? It honestly reminded me of ketchup bottles. Sick! One woman even squeezed so much out that a huge glob went running all down the side of the bottle; she proceeded to close the lid and put it back onto my CARDBOARD shelf. Ummmm, hello? I’m standing right here? Wouldn’t you be embarrassed? Some people...yeesh.

School is going fine. Now is that time of year when all the big projects are lurking on the horizon. It kinda makes me feel like Red-Rover. This is the complete opposite, however, of my boy situation in that there is none. No one in particular, and no swarm of prospects. I’d so much prefer that this situation be reversed. What’s a girl to do?

Take a nap. That’s my answer. My cheese and crackers are done, and so am I. Happy hump day! It’s half over, thank god...
