Weekend fun
Friday evening after work I hung out with my mom for a while. We drank coffee and talked - it was a lovely visit. I feel like I don't see much of her these days due to my being so occupied with work and school, but I have decided to make a more concerted effort to spend time with her when I can. Sean came over later that night and we watched ( Read more... ) -
Recent adventures
I got my car back on Thursday night! So far, so good. Sean came over after I got home - we ate, began watching a documentary, and went to sleep. I worked all day on Friday and then went to Kristy's son Andrew's sixth birthday shindig afterward ( Read more... ) -

Check my engine, please
Before heading to class yesterday evening I drove up to the dealership to pick up my car, as they informed me it was fixed. I was out of there by about 4:45 and driving down Route 8 to get on 77S when the fucking check engine light came on again. I had to turn around and go back. They hooked it up to the diagnostic machine but weren't able to ( Read more... ) -
Things
Drinks with Kristy and Corey on Friday night. After departing around midnight, Sean and I went to Giant Eagle to satisfy my craving for peanuts and beer, as that was all I wanted. I was able to purchase a bag of peanuts, but they couldn't sell me the beer because it was past one. It made no sense to me, but it gave me the opportunity to drink ( Read more... ) -
Last week
I love the very first day of a new month. It's not as if anything necessarily momentous is about to happen, but it has the feel of it. Sometimes potentiality gives a welcome illusion.
Due to an unexpected winter storm last Monday, I ended up getting stuck on the expressway for four and a half hours. At that point I had only driven about a ( Read more... ) -
Old habits die...
While sitting in a meeting at work this morning (and obviously zoning out), it occurred to me that yesterday was the six-month mark of my quitting smoking. I only flaunt this victory because it's been extremely difficult yet monumental for me. I never thought I'd be able to quit anything - this is mainly due to the fact that I'm one of the most ( Read more... ) -
A short break
I'm enjoying some butternut squash soup and some Bad Religion while taking a few minutes off from studying for my American Politics exam. I am quite glad that my classmate emailed me a copy of the study guide, as I left mine at the office Friday afternoon. Having this shall make the studying easier, because until she sent it to me, I was relying ( Read more... ) -

Candy Heart Day
Sean came over last night with a single white rose, a jar of Nathan's Pickles (only the best pickle ever), and a letter. He said I wasn't allowed to read it until he left, which didn't happen to be until this morning. As soon as I heard him drive off, I rose out of bed, made a cup of coffee, and opened the letter.
It was the most wonderful, ( Read more... )
