the stars at night are big and bright
Today, I got a real job. [Cue fireworks.]

Though it doesn't officially start until July 24, and though I won't see an official paycheck until two weeks after that, I decided to go on a shopping spree to (1)celebrate and (2)buy professional-looking clothes. And because I decided to actually spend money, there was nothing to buy. NOTHING. I got a sweater that will come in handy in, oh, say, three or four months, and a matching pair of panties. (Hee! Not like they were paired up. They just happened to match.)

I am happy about this (the job, I mean, although of course the sweater and matching panties are great), but I probably should be happier.

I am very happy about Tom Glavine's presence at the All-Star Game, even if he won't be pitching. Love him.
