I love taking a break from school, I just hate the going back part. Once I've gotten into "vacation mode", it's hard for me to buckle down and start my studies again. I'll do it, but it's kinda like trying to quickly accelerate my 10 year old Escort - it's a slow, moaning, hesitant start ( Read more... )

Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed. My fiance (it's still so strange to call him that) got a nasty bout of the flu over the holidays, right around New Year's. He's been living with me, and I was taking care of him and getting pretty much as much exposure to the virus as one could get (kissing and cuddling were only slightly decreased due to him ( Read more... )

A whole lot of things have happened over the holidays. I paid off my credit card in one fell swoop just before the holiday break, and proceeded to rebuild my debt to almost exactly where it was. I spent an unbelievable amount this Christmas - I went half-and-half with my mom on a Bowflex exercise machine for my brother, I bought my boyfriend ( Read more... )

I've discovered that I highly dislike the scents of Victoria's Secret products. I've been trying to use up this "Love Spell" scented "Luxurious Hand and Body Cream" by keeping it on my desk at work to use after each time I wash my hands. It smells very strongly chemical, a mixture of sour fruit, an attempt at a floral scent, and some fake candy ( Read more... )

Well, it's almost to the end of the month, so it's time for me to start adding up the totals and figuring out what my mom owes me, and whether my bank account is really as sorry as it looks. (It does look pretty sorry - after I pay rent, there'll be less than a hundred leftover.) However, I know that it probably really isn't as bad as it looks. ( Read more... )

My left eyebrow is getting VERY sparse. I really need to lay off of the plucking. Mind you, this isn't beautifying, this is an obsessive habit, like biting one's nails, like chewing one's hair, like gnashing one's teeth. It's not like you'll see me in front of my mirror with a pair of tweezers, heavens no, I haven't enough brow hairs or lashes to ( Read more... )

As usual, I've got plenty of random things on my mind ( Read more... )

Sometimes I think it's silly for me to blog. Especially since I have two other blogs, which I haven't been keeping up, and none of them serve any particular meaningful purpose. However, given my somewhat recent tendencies to be more private about myself with my friends and family and other acquaintances, I like to put my feelings and experiences ( Read more... )

I took a workshop on professionalism... not that I didn't actually know any of the stuff they were talking about, but whether I know how or not, I do not conduct myself in a professional manner at work, and I know it. So, I'm meeting with the instructor at lunch tomorrow to work on such job misbehaviors as what I'm doing right now... personal stuff ( Read more... )

I mildly stink today. I'm trying to recall when is the last time I showered... I think it was Wednesday. It's slightly amusing to me, I don't often smell at all, not in a good way, not in a bad way. Even when I apply perfume, it wears off pretty quickly. I'm just a pretty scent-less person, I guess. And it's not just me, either, my roommate has a ( Read more... )
