I am successfully returned from the Olde Country! It was a shocking and wonderful experience and so here is my journal entry and photos which will not do it justice in the least. Sorry for the wall of text, skip over boring parts if you feel the need:

Log:

Wednesday, May 19th: Rough night on the floor. trapped until 12:30 running errands for The House, engaging several verbally abusive Clients. Brought into the backroom at closing to hear that I need to communicate more...because in this line of work, communication is the only thing we truly have going for us. Communicated my dismay at ( Read more... )

So I slept until like 2pm this afternoon. Even for me that's a record. But I was TIRED ( Read more... )

For those of you who don't know, my aunt's husband took his own life on Friday night. I'm very, very close to my aunt (my mom's sister) who I treat like I sister of my own, and also to her four children, who grew up almost in the same household as my brother and sister and I. Over years of parties and soccer and lake outings and horse back rides, ( Read more... )

So right now I'm drinking a milkshake made with vodka, godiva liqueur, and Edy's frozen yogurt (WITH Active Yogurt Cultures) while sitting on my balcony at 12:17 am and if all that isn't indicative of how fantastic my lifestyle is, I just don't know what could be.

I just couldn't take any more of Bob's bullshit mind games and my own soul-crushing guilt at waking up every morning to waste my time here, disengaged, ( Read more... )

Item 1: I was putting on make-up this morning and looked in the mirror when I put on too much red lipstick and said, "great, not I look Stephanie Meyer." So I tried to wipe some off only to streak it all over my face. "Great," I said. "Now I look like vampire." This coincidence struck me as very funny, but made me wonder, "If I continue to ruin my ( Read more... )

Deep Breath.

At the Beach:

Mostly my time at the beach in the winter can be summed up in my previous post, but I wanted to add that I found some truly amazing shells since there weren't old people scrambling out onto the beach at 5am to collect them all, including two fully intact twelve inch long muscle-like bivavles called...I think penshells, and ( Read more... )

Likely only day I will remember to write ( Read more... )
