Happy New Year.

So.
Laura and Henry and my nephews are in Mexico.
Which means I am home by myself.
Having been raised in such a large family, this is a new sort of experience for me.
But it's only the first day, we'll see how tomorrow goes, at church...
I would definitely be open to someone phoning now and again.
Meanwhile, I have to compose a cover letter for the job I'd like to get at the bank. The plan so far is to work there full-time and a few hours at Mcdonalds every day as well. Let's just say the road is stretching out long ahead of me, but I can't see it. And I don't really know what I should or even want to, do.
Maybe I should go someplace else for a while, I was originally thinking Australia sounded pretty good. I know several people who have gone for a while. And it's supposed to be easier to get a job there, too. Not so much do about visas and permits and such. Not that I would know. But less fuss always means, for me, a larger chance of doing whatever it is. I don't really know, though. Even though I love the sound of going and doing something like that, and I've really been enamored of Australia for several years, it still sounds like something somebody else can maybe do, but not me.
I asked my Mom for some of my favorite muffin recipes, so I should be able, if I end up having the time and inclination, to bake sometime this week. But I'll probably do some cooking, anyways, or I'll end up eating leftovers and bread. Maybe I should take a cooking class or something. It would probably be fun.
I just finished watching 'Julie & Julia'. It was actually recommended by a pastor, and now I know why. The relationships between the ladies and their husbands is amazing to watch. I loved it!
But I'd better go and finish the laundry, and a few other things I've put off too long already...
Ta ta for now!
