Nice to wake up to the cold today. Coraline died. It sucks cause I thought she was such a beautiful goldfish I went and bought my first 10 gallon tank just so I could buy her. My new crawfish is doing well, three out of four Guppies are doing well and the seamonkeys hatched.

I wanted to buy some lip rings and a house plant today but I should clean ( Read more... )

I’m watching Troy. The opening scene always makes me feel a mixture of anxiety and pride. My room feels small and stuffy. This week has been a wreck. This month has been a bigger, fatter wreck. I’ve been splurging on spending for months, not saving a penny and accruing $1300 in debt- fishtanks, drinks, and restaurants. I spent my spring break ( Read more... )

I like winter in Texas. I like the rain and the chilly wind. But sometimes when there are long stretches of rain and clouds it seems like the sun may not decide to come back. This week, the sun paid Houston a visit. The last two days have been sunny and warm with a breeze. Most of the customers filing through PetsMart have been burned pink and red ( Read more... )

It was nice to see Stanzie! She and I found a little new age niche in downtown Houston called Lucia’s Garden. We spent forever in there and she told me I have too much guilt-ladden baggage and I need to release it if I’m ever going to gain peace.

Ive definitely been watching the first 9 episodes of Sex and the City for the last few hours while I ( Read more... )

     Haha... Haven't posted in a while. Been doing stuff, I guess. Maybe dealing with stuff is a better, more accurate way of putting it? Two nights ago I found a few pgs of old, old LJ entries in my room under a pile of rubble. I guess I'd printed them a few years ago when I was still trying to get a paper journal going instead of using the online ( Read more... )

    Today is my first day back to school for the Spring 2010 semester. I'm taking 9 hrs of Chem, English, and Irish and Thank god no more than that. With work and the volunteer work I'm planning this semester I'm going to be swamped! I had my first English class this morning and for homework my professor wants us to read a 224 pg book on an intro ( Read more... )

                 I’ve done a lot of soul searching since my last entry. It’s been a month, and I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on who I am and what I’m looking for. While I was scrubbing tanks at work or sitting in the tub every night with an anita blake novel and a notebook, I stewed over my past and the future I’m looking for. I feel a little ( Read more... )

Tonight would be a wonderful night to sit on a cushion by the fire and drink a dark red wine, Mozart playing quietly. Its cold out tonight, somewhere in the thirties. My anger and malcontent from this morning has been replaced with quiet. Winter has that effect on me. I didn’t go to see the lights with James tonight because of this damned ( Read more... )

I’m in a stormy mood today. It’s the first time in a while that I find myself in an overall bad mood and I blame Jeff. I insisted that we shouldn’t talk until I’m in South Carolina on Tuesday and he insisted that he had just been cranky because of finals. Last night he once again acted like I was bothering him or being cryptic when we were ( Read more... )

This year was a pretty good Thanksgiving, considering. In the spirit of Thanksgiving:
I am thankful for:

• My "PetsMart A-Team"- Michael, Kasey, Kim, Kevin, Daniel, Tommy, Hannah, Courtney, Lizett, Mark, and my crazy managers I've worked under for four years now
• The health of myself and my family
• My pets that bring so much joy to my life from hermit ( Read more... )
