ask and ye shall receive???

I am going to tell the universe that I would REALLY like a job at the library. It's my secret dream (besides being able to sing). I love books, I love the quiet atmosphere, all of it. I have been ceaselessly sending my resume but I cannot even get an interview. I need an interview so I can find out why I am not getting an interview (besides my complete lack of qualification). SO today I am asking, please universe, arrange yourself so that I might get an interview and I will be forever grateful and kind to you.
I am very happy today because I am the proud mama of a menstruating daughter!! Man, have times have changes since I was young and when I got my period my mother acted like it was something I had planned specifically to ruin her day. We had a special dinner and I made everyone wear red and I put red bindis on our foreheads to signify that we were "in the club". She tasted some red wine and we talked about blood and the moon and how to take care of yourself whilst bleeding. She was very embarrassed and rolled her eyes a lot (but I know that secretly she enjoyed the pomp and circumstance).

that's really...great i guess, but strange. golly. yes i do remember there being this undertone of shame to my first period. it was extremely uncomfortable for me. no intelligent information given but then these looks.
i like the way you handled it. even though she probobly thought you were nuts. but then again, you ARE nuts!
