It's birthday eve. Tomorrow I'll be turning 26 again. I've decided that from now on I will only be 26. Mark your cards accordingly.

Why, hello ice storm. I'm moving south.

Today is the 1 year anniversary of me getting laid off from my stained glass job. It's pretty crazy to think of everything that has happened since then. I was laid off for 4 months, lost my sweet China, ran out of unemployment, applied for jobs all over, got a telemarketing gig, hated it, got hired by the county as a secretary, and in the middle of ( Read more... )

7:30 a.m. - On my way to the north country to work my last day before a nice relaxing holiday vacation. It was snowing and windy, but hey, when isn't it? Just before cresting the top of a hill I saw flashing lights so I went to slowed down (which shouldn't have been hard since I was doing less than the speed limit), but that didn't happen exactly.

I feel bad, especially since I have been exceptionally lack-luster in the gift idea and ( Read more... )

I don't know why I spend most of my waking hours wishing I was sleeping only to completely fight going to bed when it's actually time to sleep.

The office area I work in is refered to as "the fish bowl" because it's enclosed on 3 sides with windows. Well, the fish bowl is now the candy bowl. Chocolate covered pretzels, peanut butter meltaways, cupcakes, and cookies of every shape and size are pouring in for the holidays.

My sister woke me up this morning with a hysterical phone call, crying and telling me that mom was calling 911. I had no idea why, thinking maybe they had gotten in to a fight and Linds was being kicked out. Apparently the carbon monoxide detector had gone off and the basement smelled of gas. Mom had run out of the house and called for help while ( Read more... )
