**blogger wouldn't let me reply comments for some reason.. so.. the books are a couple of swami prabupadha's books on self-realization. Know of any good books about anything? Recommend them here:)
So, we moved into our place yesterday.
It's so much more than we need lol.. we are basically in the basement of this awesome house which is surrounded by the hill/cliff things (my brother doesn't know what they're called either lol)
The house looks like a barn on the outside.. the basement has a bedroom with a twin bed + 2 closets+desk+stereo+other shelving, a living room with a wall of built in cabinetry+a couch+tv-vcr-dvd player, a pantry where we have a hot plate+microwave+toaster+coffee maker+mini-fridge, & a sauna lol...... told yaaa!!..... so much more than we need... I'm getting a little too comfortable here...
although it was pretty cold last night ..using the heating tonight (=P. We've been using the sauna as our warming up and eating area... my brother sleeps in his sleeping bag in the sauna.. i'm in the bedroom.. we're gonna switch half way through the stay.
Yesterday, after my last entry I had some time to explore a little more and came across an art shop :))
well, I asked them if they're hiring.. they're not =P but, they said that if they decide to go out of town they may call for me to look after the store for them. I hope so... I'll take what I can get.
The library has nothing for me.. the book store will take my resume and app, but I'm not too sure they're interested.. it's a family business.
Oh yeah, the art/framing store is run by an older couple. The wife works at a lumber shop and is an artist and the husband makes his living off of framing. They have a little art gallery. The wife told me to call her some time and she'll show me the process by which she makes her pottery. :)
So, as of right now I don't have anything concrete... but, volunteering at the animal sanctuary is in progress.. I just got their reply and I've started the process of applying.
Lauren, your mix cd is a great listen in these parts~ thank you!
Today, my bro and I went out in search of some yard sales (he got a bike).. then hit the book store.. and, finally grocery shopping. Soo, we'll be eating a lot of mexican-ish and italian lol...
We do plan on hitting the local farmer's market next saturday:) apparently the prices are pretty good, but the early bird gets the good stuff. People apparently buy out the place early on.
So, after coming home I made some sauteed black beans, potatoes and rice burritos.. now, I'm just chilling in the bedroom.

...I'll start loading pics:)

it's a mix of ancient philosophies of wisdom and modern psychological findings. so much I've learned from here to change everyday little things to make me more content w/my life.
