Queenkv’s Brainpickings

Exploring the other side of the rainbow

I need to get on Jeopardy….

This David dude….on Jeopardy - he’s racked up nearly $200,000 this week on the show. So I need to get on this game show and win a shit load of cash - so I could pay of my school loan…..He said he’s working on his Master’s in Berlin. Mark said he could pay for his education now. The dude wants to join the Peace Corp. Wow.

I have to pay off two of my loan payments this week and Queenkv has no job in sight. So screwed. It’s not like I’m not trying.

So, that’s plan B - get on Jeopardy.

My buddy designed the global site for Medill. She used my pix from my eurotrip blog. Which is neat. I got some credit for that. Cool.

I need a job.

What remains unsaid….


It’s been a bit nutty this week…..I figured this picture of me - looking at my next grey hair - sums up my thoughts/emotions/psychosis - for the week. Mark took that picture on the afternoon after our Engaged Couples retreat…..great….getting married is making me look older.

Sometimes, after I wake up, I stay in bed and stare at strands of my
hair. I find some black strands turning lighter…I’m sure the sun gave me some natural light brown highlights….I’m also sure stress
has highlighted the other nearly white strands.

Damn it.

My mom’s at St. Jude - she’s fine. Just un-comfortable. She got diverticulitis
- sometime over the weekend. She said it was hard for her to walk and eat and go to the bathroom. If the antibotics didn’t work - the doctor told her she would have to go into surgery. I told her she could do the surgery after the wedding.
