Day 316 - March 29th ...

... will be my first day off in 8 months!

I can't freaking wait!!

To enjoy it, the Brit and I are taking an overnight trip to Vegas.

Wazooooooooooooo!

Day 61 - It's Been Far Too Long!

I’m baaack!

I don’t even know where to begin.

Well, I’ll start with something that is becoming very WILAY: I am working at home currently (and about to get paid!) and LE is going to start working from home too! We’re going to have coffee breaks even…yay!

And we’re going to move our desks into the dining room/kitchen-y area, so that it is more work-y (as opposed to having my desk by my bed where I am often tempted to just roll from my chair to my bed to nap).

I went home to Chicago for Christmas and had a blast. It was cold and icy, but Martini welcomed me with open arms. He was really great. Oh and I went to this lounge where the vodka tonics were $9! Insane!

New Years was also lovely. We hadn’t planned to do anything and then went out with a group and had such a good tme.

It’s so very chilly here and I’m ready for beach weather to be back. Also, haven’t heard from Bride Brain in a while. Maybe it’s time to send her an email?

I so had something I was going to write, but now it is completely forgotten.

Oh, I heard from The Doc during my flight back to California (while in Vegas where I was stuck for four hours after just barely making my Chicago flight out). Pretty random. We’ll see.

On a sad note: Jennifer Love Hewitt and her fiance have broken up. I was really hoping she had really found The One this time. No, I’m not being sarcastic. Poor girl.

More later!

Oh, I remembered. I was going to write about Ageless Dan. Ahh…went to my mom’s work Xmas party. Met Ageless Dan, who barely said hi to me, but immediately asked, “Where’s (middle sister)?”

Note: Middle sister used to work at my mom’s place so she knows people there.

OK, so that’s fine, but then my mom told me how he always asks about her. So, we concluded that he loves her or something and teased her all week about it.

Then, when my mom got back to work, she informed me that that day he asked about me and called me a cutie and said she could give me his number! And she didn’t even think he was joking!

Well, I was confused by this, so I have now concluded that it doesn’t matter which of me or my sisters he dates, he is really after having my mom as his mother-in-law. Weird, but she does make good cookies!

Day 22 - Another Year Wiser??

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!
