i won't go on the record and say that the frequency of my blog posts is a point of shame for me but i will say off the record that it is. here's an update on the bosts: we're happy in charlottesville. william is back in school and loving his biochemistry and middle eastern politics classes. he's sporting some new khakis and can be seen riding his newly repaired bike up and down the hills of c-ville, including to UVA hospital where he's been working as a scribe for the past few months and bringing home sad/crazy stories. his scrubs are comically huge on him. tonight he's there til midnight! he's working hard and he's cute and he don't care who knows it. i am working tentatively (this is my MO) as a secretary/office manager for an investment firm over in the swanky boar's head offices west of town. my days consist of delivering wall st. journals to the guys, brewing their coffee and setting out their plate of fresh fruit et crudites. then i send emails and make copies and surf the net all day and all night. don't bother telling me about your cool site because i've already seen it along with every other website. so there's a lot of down time and it's the sweet life over in suite 100. i'm also getting free lunch every day from the restaurant of my choice so i bring home goodies a lot and in lieu of the real thing we love and nurture our perpetual food babies. it's uncommon for poor newlyweds so we feel pretty lucky. and we're saving on groceries HEY-O!!!!! in other news, we go to richmond to see our families a lot and it's always fun. william's mom ginny bought me "the book of mormon girl" by j. brooks for my birthday (24 on wednesday can you beleeb it!) and i'm going to go read it now.
