Sean got a job with UPS. They fired him after a week and a half because they said he wasn't moving fast enough/meeting quota/whatever. A quota he didn't know about until they fired him. Yet he had all his packages loaded by the time his truck had to leave each morning and was even sent to help other people with their packages and to another department entirely to help people there. :-/
On top of that, they haven't paid him for the second week he worked there. (25 hours.) He's been up there to talk to human resources and I think has called them once, but still no paycheck. He's going to call again or go back and ask one more time. Then he's contacting the labor board.
He's filled out a few more applications online and had an interview with some company, but no one has hired him. I've made some suggestions of places he should try to apply to, but I don't think he's done it yet. I told him that looking for a job is his job until he gets hired by someone, but he spends most of his day playing video games. He does help a friend once or twice a week renovating his place. This friend (who's over 60 years old) buys him lunch and I think pays him a little, but Sean needs a real job asap!
Update: He received his check in the mail today (Friday, July 20th).

I've gotten rid of several more items of clothing since my last entry and bought a few more things.
Black denim skirt from Kohl's. Originally about $70. I think I paid about $50. Falls below my knees.
Denim skirt from Cato. I paid $21 for it. Falls below my knees.
Denim skirt from Cato. I paid about $17 for it. Falls below my knees.

Friday evening, July 12th, was our pastor's daughter's wedding. It was held at Phillip's Chapel in Greensboro. Beautiful chapel! Savannah was beautiful and the groom (Jonathan) was handsome. Pastor sang Butterfly Kisses and got choked up a couple times. There weren't many dry eyes in the building. Jonathan's parents also sang. Savannah's grandfather (her mom's dad) performed the wedding. There were a lot of ministers there. Many of them relatives of the bride or groom. It was a sweet, beautiful wedding. The reception was in a building near the chapel.
Sean and Ashley (Sean's girlfriend) went with me. (Charlie and Kelly didn't want to go. :-/ ) We got home a little after 11:00 PM.
The cake was delicious. Strawberry with pieces of strawberries in it. Two large chocolate cakes (rectangular/single layer) were brought out soon after the cake cutting.

There's this pizza place that I had heard about quite a while back that Charlie and I finally went to last month - Cugino Forno. It's at Revolution Mill. It's possibly the best pizza I've ever had in my life. Most of their ingredients are from Italy (it's Naples style pizza) and so are their huge ovens. Kelly and I went a few weeks ago (her first time) and then all four of us went last week (Sean's first time). I've told several people about it. I've had their pepperoni pizza and their margherita pizza and love them both.

Since my last entry, I finally finished The Song of the Lark by Willa Cather (I gave it 2 stars at GoodReads) and also read The Baker's Secret by Stephen P. Kiernan. I gave it 3 stars at GoodReads.
I'm currently reading Unearthed by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner. I'm liking it okay, but I haven't gotten very far.
