Vindication is Bittersweet
A couple of weeks ago, I got an email from Neil who used to work with me at my old job. He told me that the department I used to work for with him had "gone downhill" and that he was looking for a new job. I gave him the contact info for some of the recruiters I had worked with; and he suggested we get together for lunch ( Read more... ) -
Family 2
The last couple weeks have been good, bad, and everything in between. As the deadline approached for me to renew my lease, Mom told me that she was going to stay in Omaha and work a few menial jobs to make enough money to move up to chicago, so she could get an apartment on her own and stop burdening me. So I renewed my lease for my 1 bedroom. ( Read more... ) -
Fam(i)ly
A plan is coming together. My Mom might need to move up to Chicago, with me, to get back on her feet. Part of me is glad, and part of me is a bit mournful. I know, I know - it sounds dramatic. The last few years have been really tough for Mom, and her financial situation just keeps getting worse ( Read more... ) -
It's official: Vacation time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy to have some time off. I haven't had a week off since school let out. I took a week off to look for a new job but that doesn't count. Andy's taken the week off too so we can spend some time together. Yes, I'm very very happy. -

There Goes My Outfit
Well, I have to say that recently I haven't been doing so good at losing weight. I had lost 10 pounds, then I gained a couple back, then I lost them again, and now I've gained them back. Last week I was having a lot of chocolate cravings, which I gave into on Friday (and Saturday, and then there was that dessert at Red Lobster on Sunday ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Thank You God
A huge answer to prayer just came in today. I found out that my brother Marv got a plea deal so he won't be going to jail. I didn't think he would be going to jail over a car accident; but from the way the judge spoke to him you would think he was a career criminal.

My Kryptonite and Lifeblood
I love the sun. LOVE the sun. A sunny day can make my week. Yes, I have googled it, and the sunniest city is Yuma, Arizona. I have thought about moving there - but if I was going to move to AZ, I'd probably do Phoenix since I have family there ( Read more... ) -
Clean(er) Apartment, Yay!
So the living room, kitchen and bathroom look a lot better. I've just got to tackle my bedroom. I need to get a dresser. I've been surviving by hanging most things up, and I've got a rubbermaid storage thingy for my socks. I need a dresser so I can take the summer clothes out of the under-the-bed plastic container, which currently is not living ( Read more... ) -
Goings on
I've been been going out to see more movies lately. I don't see a lot of movies, because I've seen so many of them it feels like a waste to be sitting a movie than hanging out with people. It's funny, I don't feel the same way about improv comedy shows, or theatre ( Read more... )
