I poured the last bit of vodka down the drain. It was the right thing to do. I hadn't touched it since the last time I made Kahlua white russians, just to treat myself. A while ago ( Read more... )

Went for a test drive with the kitty today. Lucy is not one of those who likes to travel. Once I get my schedule and it shows I'm only going to be gone for 2 or 3 days, then I have to leave her in Atlanta. My mother is intensely disappointed ( Read more... )

I have absolutely no money and to compensate I'm going to try my darndest to work 40+ hours every week until I can't anymore. The haircut and the cat were things I should have waited on, but I just wanted to feel happy again without having to convince myself that I was happy.

I'm going to call this a win even though my bank account says otherwise.

Lucy pictures are on Facebook. I will not be accepting birthday presents this year, but Lucy presents are welcome. Even a dollar store little stuffed animal for her to bully instead of my moogle will be appreciated ( Read more... )

Her name is Lucy. She's a 1 year old orange tabby prowling around my room and she is a barrel of awesome. More later.

So it seems that instead of 2 or 3 years, I may be done with grad school by July 2010. They just emailed me saying my program was a 4 semester course, including this summer and next summer. So. Uh-huh.

The only thing is I'm going at it 4 classes a semester in the evenings. My social life is going to drop down to nil. Just ( Read more... )

I had fun at the wedding. It was a bit awkward at times, but bearable until the end. In the middle of the night we called each other and talked until 4 or 5 in the morning about the truth behind the demise of our relationship. He cited some things that he thought were too different about us to work out in the long run. Some of these things I had ( Read more... )

I have been on this huge kick of saying out loud, "I am fine. If that was how it was going to be, better now than later. Time to move on." It helps to continually reaffirm this notion, but sometimes the emptiness of this apartment bugs me the hell out and I find myself running errands in an inefficient way just so I'm not home. Confession: I haven' ( Read more... )

Bachelorette parties are... certainly an adventure.

Going out with girls to drink was fun. I didn't really drink too much- what with me having little money and beers in clubs costing $5. So mostly I kept tabs on those who were drunk. I was in chaperone mode though I did have fun. Even if I felt my outdated outfit sticking out like a sore thumb and I ( Read more... )

I've been awake for most of the night on my couch. I rise this morning the most pessimistic I've been in a while.

Love is not enough. The world gets in the way.

It's just not enough.

If I hadn't just accepted my position at KSU, I would be packing for Jacksonville right now. I think in three years, I will pack up and head home where I belong. No ( Read more... )
