A little of this, a little of that

judecorp1. I'm glad that Jen agreed to pop home for a little bit in case the washer/dryer delivery was right on time. Because they came 10 minutes early and they had already opened the truck by the time I got back from a job interview. Phew! I love punctual delivery!
2. Speaking of delivery, of the non-punctual variety, IKEA just called me and said they would refund half of my shipping charge. That's pretty sweet, since the total delivery charge was like $140. And 13 of the 14 packages DID arrive, so i feel like half is fair. Of course, I do have to wait for them AGAIN on Monday to get the headboard.
3. Speaking of job interview, I went to tour this long-term care facility for people (I think ages 6-50) with complex medical needs. I have never done anything even remotely related to long-term care but a wise social worker once told me to never rule out something that doesn't involve your target population. Since that's how I ended up at the shelter and at EI, and I loved them both, I went. I don't know exactly what the job entails but they are doing a /major/ administration overhaul and I would kind of be a Director of Social Services. So I asked for a large sum of money. It was /awesome/. (Well, not large in the business sense, but hey.) I don't know if I'm the right person for the job, but I know the two women I met with really liked me and kept talking about how we would all work well together. So who knows - I might end up with some decisions to make.
4. I did NOT tell them I was pregnant. Not even a little bit.
5. Cable guys come today to install EVERYTHING, because I got us one of those crazy bundles (phone, internet, cable). Because of the bundle, we will be getting actual cable. Like, with real channels. I see a lot of couching in my future. But since we were paying almost $70 for internet and basic cable in Boston, paying $97 and getting phat phone service (voicemail, unlimited long distance, caller ID, call waiting, etc.) AND internet AND cable with Real! Channels! seemed too good to pass up. Oh my god, we are going to watch SO MUCH TELEVISION because I am unable to pry my eyes away from things like Lifetime Movie Network and A&E's Intervention.
6. Jen thinks my gut is pooching out. It's hard for me to tell because I dropped so much weight so quickly so I don't really remember how fat I was down below the waist, but it does seem a little rounder. And I get more muffin top action on the low-rise pants. So maybe.
7. Yesterday, Smemily came to my house and she seriously washed almost all of my dishes AND brought me a cocoa and a chocolate stick. I am already in love with her and we have just met. Good times.
8. I need to go find some food before I eat my own fingers. Tah!
(Don't worry, Laura, I will give you a more detailed knocked up update soon.)
