My last post was so depressing that I think I'll post another...not even because I have that much to say... I just don't want to think about how I felt when I wrote that last one. Outta sight, outta mind.

Brian and I are moving in together, like, now. I have the house keys, took the walk-through, and called BGE to get the power turned on. It should ( Read more... )

I am so tired of being treated like shit ( Read more... )

A quick update on my New Year's resolutions:

1. Don't work so hard. I've actually managed to make this one work; I'm home at a reasonable hour most of the time, and not stressed that often, either.

2. Get out of debt with my mom. Approximately zero success so far. My car was stolen, so as an early birthday present, I ended up with a new (used) car. ( Read more... )

I'm feeling myself finally grow into the person I've always wanted to be, and I am damn proud.  I'm talented, and I have good taste (usually). My career is slowly starting to blossom. I'm more in love than I ever thought I could be. I'm completely self-sufficient...and working hard to get out of debt from when I wasn't.  This is by no means to say ( Read more... )

Hey friends. Here's that "oh man lj lolz" update you've been itching for ( Read more... )

I need two days to defuzz, to decompress, to do nothing for such a long period of time that I'm dying to have something to do by the time it's over.  At this rate, I'm hoping mayyyybe those few days between Christmas and New Year's will be that chance. I don't think it's happening before then, though. Damn ( Read more... )

Another one of the girls I went to high school is engaged, and another one of my friends is married. Weird ( Read more... )

Brian and I went to his friends' wedding, and it was very cute. The major perk of having a long-distance relationship is that it's really hard for it to get old. If you can avoid getting distant among the distance, it's actually a great combination of secure and liberating that I never realized I'd enjoy.  Anyway, for anyone that wants to know, ( Read more... )

I LOVE CAMP. It wears me out like no other, and all the responsibility and liability hits me in the face a little sometimes, but damn, I love camp. The kids are younger than my middle school students, and I forgot just how quickly the little ones will take to you. The first day I got the following note from a new camper, age 6:  "bear Mrs. Lesley, ( Read more... )

 So,  a lot has happened.

I finished up prettymuch all of the loose ends. Assuming I didn't miss any paperwork (though I triple-checked and wrote emails to be sure), I will hopefully be on schedule to graduate in August. If you didn't get the facebook invite, I'm having a Hooray For Me party on August 9th, and you're invited. Please come. You can ( Read more... )
