Hoping, Happy, and Halcyon

*Does a happy dance* Woo-hoo! Guess what? I got an INTERVIEW! Cha! I'm very happy about this. Granted, and interview does not mean I have a job.... especially since it's open to whoever comes...but still! This is the closest I've come to getting a job since I started looking in May. It's at Krispy Kremes, and the manager informed me today that every Tuesday from 2-4pm they have open interviews. So I smiled, thanked him, and left the store. Once I got in my car, it hit me. I have an interview. I have an interview!! AND I got a free donut just for coming into the store. Needless to say, I am a happy camper.

However, I would not be Megan if I didn't take the opportunity of happiness to evaluate my character or make a philosophical observation. So driving back down Veterans Parkway, I realize that I haven't been happy yet today. This is not to say that I have been unhappy, but rather that I haven't really grinned like that yet today. I also knew that what I was feeling was just a temporary emotion that was as fluffy as the donut I was eating, and would last just as long. But I guess it's rare for me to be really happy about a normal thing. I'm not certainly not complaining or anything, it was just nice. Usually I get excited about things that God's doing. Few things make me happier than to see someone baptized, particularly someone I've been praying for. And I think I prefer that sort of happiness...it lasts longer.

(Warning: mindless rambling to follow. Proceed at your own confusion.)I don't know. I guess happy isn't a very descriptive word. Because I was happy when I woke up with the sun shining on my face, and I was happy when my favorite song came on the radio for the third time today...but the happiness I felt at getting close to something I've been trying to get for so long was quite different. Man, I need more words. But none of those happys would fit "ecstatic" or even "glad." But I was glad...oy. It's one of those things I just can't describe. I can only do it with colors...images in my mind that won't take words. It's the same thing when I try to describe the difference between Barnes & Noble and Borders. B&N is forest green and Borders is light red or yellow. I think it only makes sense to me...and maybe Natalie ;)

That wraps up this rant, I have to do the dishes (my summer job until I find a real one, ugh. Krispy Kremes here I come!)

Until next time,
~A&C

P.S. I just realized I never came back to tell you all what Tomorrow was. It was Natalie's surprise birthday party. She was very surprised, because her birthday's in December. But we did it on her half birthday, so it made some sense. But the reason I almost said it was because I'm not sure if Nat ever checks my Blog, and it would have just been so ironic if she happened to check it then and ruin the surprise. Okay, I'm done ranting now.

P.P.S. Still trying to improve my vocabulary, halcyon means calm and tranquil...which is sort of like happy.

P.P.P.S. (last one, I'm serious *tear*) Just in case anyone cares, I used the word happy 12 times in this post. Brownie points for anyone who finds them all! (...I'm kidding)
