I haven't gotten the offer from the one potential employer yet, but that's because they're apparently waiting for my transcript. That's OK...I have talked to them and they still seem to want me. Probably just corporate schmucks holding up the deal. I'm hoping that they make me and offer by the end of the week, since next week I'll be gone all week (camping!) and unreachable. They know this, and they're cool with it, but it would be nice to have it all figured out BEFORE I leave.

The last few days have been pretty busy...On Sunday, for the Fourth, I did work, but we got out around 7pm, as predicted. Then, me and Gina went to see the fireworks show in Evanston, because I read that it was by the same company that did the Taste fireworks on July 3rd. The show was really good, and pretty long (45 minutes!)...and for once, Evanston acted as a pretty decent host of events.

We parked at the Century Cinemas parking garage, because everything else closer was full or closed. I was hoping to go out on the lakefill to watch the fireworks (they were going off out in the water off South Beach), but when we walked past the main parking garage and saw the lakefill, it was jam-packed. So instead, we sat on a little patch of grass at the north end of the parking lot, just south of Pick-Staiger. It was a perfect vantage point, and no one else was there when we got there. By the time the fireworks started though, busloads of high schoolers had arrived, although they were pretty well-behaved. I think they were cherubs...I don't know though.

After the fireworks, we walked back to the car, and we should have just stopped at the Chili's across the street, because it took half an hour to get out of the garage, since everyone was leaving at the same time.

By the time we got back to Gina's house, it was almost midnight (and I was STILL in my work clothes).

On Monday we went to my parents' house to relax and eat dinner (chicken alfredo from scratch by Eddie's girlfriend). We also stopped at her uncle's house to chat.

Yesterday, I had PFW softball...it was a good game, and we won 7-6. Great pitchers' duel, for softball. Before that, Gina bought a new swimsuit, in preparation for the camping trip. It was a great purchase, and I'll leave it at that. :)

Now, I have to buy some sandals and/or flip-flops, and we have to get some other things too. And then the planning, planning, planning. :) But we'll get it figured out. I'm sitting here now, actually, hoping work gets rained out tonight. That would be nice, because then I can relax.
