I am one day away from my 24th birthday and as I was sitting eating my bagel with goat cheese (a gift from my parents, yes, I got goat cheese for my birthday) I thought that this year I just may feel a bit wiser, as they say you should.
But just because I am wiser this year, doesn’t mean I won’t continue to do things like get my shoe stuck in cake.
^ Very good episode and unusual because they are outside for most of it.
But back to what I have become wiser about:
- While public transportation is great, sometimes you just must break down and call a cab.
- It is possible to truly love a piece of clothing, a bag or a pair of shoes (especially when they are birthday gifts).
^ Like when Holly loved her cashmere sweater.
- Bread should be eaten rustic style.
- People come as advertised (as Greg Behrendt told us). This is not only wise, but applies to The Doc, who I had a convo with that went something like this:
A couple days ago:
Doc: What are you up to tonight?
Me: Sisters are in town.
Doc: Oh, just wanted to see if you wanted to go out tonight.
Me: Can’t, but maybe Monday or Tuesday?
Doc: Should work next week. Maybe Sunday, we’ll talk then.
(first, Sunday wasn’t an option as my sisters were still in town).
Then last night:
Doc: What’re you up to tonight? Wanna get together? Happy early birthday by the way.
Me: Thanks, can’t tonight and going out of town soon.
(side note: I really was busy last night as I was helping Legal Eagle at work because her boss needs some things organized and we didn’t get home until close to 9 and he hadn’t booked me for Tuesday whatsoever).
Doc: Oh, thought we were getting together tonight.
Me: Didn’t know you were gonna be free. I’ll be back on the 5th.
Doc: OK, we should get together soon.
And now I have come to realize that he is completely as advertised and will probably never make a plan in advance when it comes to me. And as LE asked:
If you were really into him, you would be going out, wouldn’t you?
And I would have. So, sorry Doc, I’m just don't know if I'm that into you or into going out at the last minute. (Plus the boys in Long Beach are oh-so-cute, but that isn’t the only reason I want to move there).
^ When Holly went to Florida for Vince, now that is being into someone.
OK, back to things I am wiser about:
- Vegas is fun, but you can only survive there for a couple of days.
- I now know when there is something I really want, like a job. As I just got yet another rejection, I’ve come to realize that almost all of these places I have applied to are not places I see myself working. So now it’s a matter of finding a place I see myself. Oh yeah, and that whole timing thing.
- Don’t try to light your gas stove with newspaper that you light on fire. Don’t worry, there were no injuries whatsoever.
- Cats shouldn’t eat string.
- I’m really quite funny, like, I can make myself laugh just about all the time.
OK, so that’s a pretty rough, but accurate list. Plus I don’t feel like writing much more and I have a million things to do before going off to Galveston for a few.
Happy Birthday to me! Sorry, the blog will be temporarily stalled during my trip, but I will report back with all the fun and adventures!
