Seriously guys, that whole "Friday the thirteenth" being unlucky? You're a moron. Friday started the best days I have had in a long time.
Let's start around...12:30. Because that is when the road trip began. Picked up Maria at work, then went to Betsy's. FYI: Driving straight through DC? Takes a REALLY long time. We get Betsy and off we go! Through ( Read more... )

My parents just out of the blue sent me a small envelope. Inside said envelope was a simple note that said "we know it isn't true, but sometimes, it may make you feel better." What isn't true, you ask? Included in the envelope was a pink tee that had fun white script writing on it:

I didn't like him anyway

I love my parents.

Just an update for those who haven't heard it from me already: it's over. And apparently has been for the past few months, he just didn't feel like telling me. There's a LOT more to say, but I'm not about to post it on the internet before he hears it from me. And, from what I'm gathering, most of our mutual friends.

Alright, so I've officially lived in the apartment for a week. Maria and I appear not to have any issues which would lead to eventual homicidal tendencies and are adjusting very well to an apartment we like very much. Our monument to cardboard has been recycled (mostly) and now we have a large area with no furniture to fill it. Oh well. My room is ( Read more... )

Alright, so I've officially been here for a week. Thankfully, unlike the June visit, I am on a fairly regular sleeping schedule and not waking up at 6am. Huzzah!
Been working on the job search and getting progressively more frustrated. And slightly pissed. But that's just me. I'm trying to stay positive. I've found a new Gregory Maguire book to get ( Read more... )

Alright, so Day Two of the road trip is winding down. We're in Sidney, Nebraska-over a thousand miles in the rearview mirror and still going strong. I've found hotel internet works, but is prone to frequent disconnects and reconnects. And pools and spas feel very good after sitting on your ass for hours in a car. I've also learned a bit about "wide ( Read more... )

Oh the madness...
This past weekend was the first Sullivan Family Reunion I'd been to since 1987. And seeing as I wasn't even 4 for that one, I clearly don't remember much of what went on and even less of how I'm related to everyone. Fast forward to 2006. 75-80 Sullivans descend on Southern California from parts of CA, Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, ( Read more... )

OK so a lot has gone one this weekend. But for purposes of convenience, we're going to define weekend as "college weekend" (ie starting Thursday).
So: Thursday
For those of you who didn't catch the part where Baby Honda was rear ended again, I shall recap. Actually, I just did. Either way, that started musical cars in my family. Because I didn't ( Read more... )

We'll start with the bad so I can end on the good note...

So ever since I heard Baby Honda is getting a salvage title (and became increasingly convinced it's possessed/hates me), I've been looking for a new car. Well, a new-to-me used car. Today, I find a woman selling her car about $2,000+ UNDER blue book value and go up pretty immediately to see ( Read more... )

So I typed this out a few weeks ago-right when I got back from DC. And it won't post. So now you get part of the story before I rant...

Alright, so I got back a few days ago, but my body is not entirely sure what time zone it's on...nor has it known since I left for the east coast...
I was up till about 11:30/midnight Wednesday night before waking ( Read more... )
