Day 55 - Random, Random, Random

Stupid psychic I went to see back in August has been right about a few things except the things I want her to be right about.

Case in point: The Doc got in touch with me. Yes, out-of-the-blue, I hear from him and am not sure what I will be doing with this. Half rolling my eyes, half kind of curious and intrigued.

But just like the psychic said, I heard from him again.



^Ahhh…my psychic!

Well, I’m about ready for her to be right about the job situation. Oh and maybe she could take back the whole unlucky in love thing too.

Oh! Did I tell you all that Bride Brain got her engagement photos done? Yes she did! And in some of them they are wearing Bears’ jerseys. Yes they are!

So Legal Eagle and I contemplated what exactly you use engagement photos for. Here are our thoughts:

- Your save-the-date (which we have not gotten, so I am NOT saving the date).

- To put up around your house

- Collages

- Pictures to display at the reception

- Future Christmas gifts for all your friends

- Practice your mustache drawing (as well as devil horns and black teeth)

- To prove you are getting married

- Use as thank-you cards

- In case you get amnesia before the wedding, you will have proof of who you are marrying

That’s about it. Some seem like really good ideas, others just seem like a waste of money.

My desk creaks. I’m not sure why (actually I think I put a screw in incorrectly), but I really must fix it because it is driving me crazy!

Day 36 - Was She Right??

I’m working a lot right now - editing, writing, covering events and all that good stuff.

Which made me wonder:

It’s almost the end of Sept/beginning of Oct. And the psychic told me that I would have my career turned around for the best around this time. Could she possibly be right??



^Oh my awesome psychic!

I mean, she has been wrong on a few levels:

- My parents did not try to drag me back to Chicago

- The Doc is not back in the picture whatsoever

- I have not come into a mysterious sum of money (or did I when I had my meltdown?)

- I have not taken a trip nor will I likely take one soon

But she has been right about:

- LE did pass her Baby Bar

and that’s about it.

Well, maybe she will get one thing right about each of us. Then I won’t have to consider myself unlucky in love!

I’m covering the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party tomorrow and this feels completely amazing (plus I’m pretty sure no one else I went to high school and college with gets to do anything this cool) (except LE because she’s met people from The Hills including Ste-phen!)

And now back to work because I have quite a bit due and not quite a bit of time to do it.

Joel McHale in 3 days!

Day 27 - Unlucky In Love

That is what the psychic told me. Many times over.

Legal Eagle and I went to our Tarot card reading this weekend and it was great, other than the unlucky in love thing.

But I am looking forward to the end of September because she said things will do a 180 for me, for the best.

So according to her my career will actually get going at some point and I am going in the right direction, blah blah.

Although, she did seem to allude to The Doc and that he isn’t out of the picture yet. Although he is quite out of the picture. And she may have said something about me not giving him enough of a chance, whatever. And she also alluded to the fact that I find him completely unreliable. Bingo!

All in all, it was fun and I’ll take bits and pieces of it as accurate. The only freaky thing was that she hit on a few things about me that were eerily true. It wasn’t so much of a prediction as either she read me really really well or something psychic-y….



^Our psychic did not look like this, but I wish she had!

Also, got my hair cut this weekend and am really in love with it. Cute bangs and good layers. And no longer scraggly.

Oh! I just realized that this means that I did accomplish getting a hairstyle that I love! I am so on my WILAY way!

Day 26 - Maybe It's A Bit Like Love...

I’m exhausted and probably driving myself a little crazy over this whole job thing. I know that I have spent way too much time in front of my computer, checking for jobs or looking at my email, waiting for someone to respond.

So, I need some space. Not that I will stop looking by any means, but I will chill out a little. After all, all of my other internships came when I wasn’t really expecting them or necessarily looking for them.

- CosmoGIRL! came along while I was waiting to hear from Seventeen and randomly called them one day to see if they were filling internships.

- Newcity came while my oldest sister and I were sitting in a Chinese restaurant and she picked up one of their issues and I had never ever heard of them before.

- In Style came along while I had a job and would occasionally check editorial websites to see what was out there, but was not at all looking for an internship of all things.

I suppose they say you find love when you finally stop looking for it, but what I want more than that is a dream job, so I’m going to lighten up on myself and my email checking and job obsessing. I’ll do some temping and whatnot to pay the bills and of course I’ll keep freelancing.

Honestly, I should just be taking a bit from WILAY. Val found her dream bakery when she wasn’t even expecting it.



^ See how happy she looks…well, you know…

Plus now I can get reacquainted with Shopaholic who has been having such a hard time in Shopaholic and Sister.

Oh and better yet, Legal Eagle wants to go to a psychic! I have been dying to go. Really, I would go to a psychic everyday if I could. But she mentioned it this morning and now I am bursting with excitement and have to find a really good one.

And I have to find us a hairdresser soon! I have decided to get bangs again and am also excited about that.

Time for boring dishes…reality can be such a drag.
