Well, since my adventures in kiddie land, I'd like to say I was super productive, busy, and got a job. Unfortunately, I was busy, somewhat productive, and have very little to show for it.
I wrote two more hubs, updated my stories, wrote another story, watched Lord of the Rings, watched more of One Piece and that French D'eon thingy, and created horrible little people drawing things. Oh, and I filled out more applications and took care of some essential errands.
I did make extremely tasty barley and bean soup, although I think Ken and I were the only ones who ate it. It was too healthy for the other residents of the household. I will definitely be making it again though. With either garlic bread or grilled cheese sandwiches. Did I mention it was really tasty?
I would have to say the highlight of my week was going to the fish meeting. This meeting was more of what I expected-- male-dominant, average age of retired, and fun auction items. The speaker was very interesting, and now I know how to plot my own fish room with automatic water changes. Unfortunately, the only livebearers I'm really interested in are halfbeaks, which eat other livebears for dinner ^_^ and stingrays.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut... it was extremely amusing to watch a bidding war erupt over FEEDER GUPPIES. Someone paid $5 for feeder guppies. They're like .10 each at Petstop! Apparently AR doesn't have feeder guppies.
And I bought fish... that I didn't need. It was my hand; it was possessed. And in cahoots with my bargain-senses. Bargain sense seem to occur in only a fraction of the population and are a seventh sense human beings use to survive. $8 for 4 apistos? Can't pass it up. The bad thing is that once they mature and are gorgeous I'm going to have to sell them (hopefully for a profit) when I leave for Korea. Oh, and I bought a plant-- why not, that dollar wanted to go with his friends. It's a frill and looks a lot better than the crap that comes into Petsmart.
Other than that, someone in the area called me. Of course, with the wonderful reception we receive in Pea Ridge, the phone probably didn't actually ring. I've suspected this was the case (I mean, I'm SITTING on it; how can I not hear/feel it?) before. Of course, when I tried to call this Paula person back (thanks reverse phone number lookup) it was a fax line and I got screechy feedback. I might try to call back on Monday, but this Paula person didn't leave a message, so I have NO idea who she was represented (I've filled out a dozen+ applications). If I'm lucky it was the school district and she'll grant me an interview.
I don't get it. I have tons of retail experience, a good record, positive references, and still no job offers. I'm wondering if I'm "too qualified" with the college degree and all. I hope not because that's stupid. If I say I want to work part-time for $8/hr, then that's what I'll work for. I just can't believe none of these retail establishments aren't hiring; that's just NOT POSSIBLE.
It's frustrating. And I still eat too much.

Fear my Hetalia chibis of doom! They will eventually be colored and probably turned into shrinky dinks:
And I finally finished my Eevee shrinky charms-- I just need to put them on a bracelet:
And my new fish:
