Nothing Says 'I Love You' Like a Trip to The Bahamas....

OK, so his work is paying for just about everything, but my honey and I will be away in The Bahamas for 4 days and 5 nights starting on Thursday! Can't wait - but it will be my first time flying. I am sorry, all. I have so much more laundry and packing to do.... I will catch up with you all when I... Sign in to see full entry.

I just reemed out my bf on the phone like 3 times for not calling me while

i was sick at home by myself all weekend... (ok that is a partial mistruth - he did call at 2:30 on Friday night when he got in from the bar.) And the best part is - he is still meeting me after work to go see a movie! That is, if I can sneak my tail out of work on time... which might be difficult... Sign in to see full entry.

Potentially Dangerous items I found while cleaning my black hole of a room

(part one) 1. expired batteries 2. a note from my coworker with a silly AND explicit drawing of another coworker 3. very old candy 4. a broken hanger 5. more credit card bills...:( That's it for now... take two in a few! Back to the cleaning grind for me.... Sign in to see full entry.

My computer and I almost had it out last night...

I was trying to work on several things at once and I could not get my email to work any better than I could get the html for my website(s) to work. I was not a happy camper. And on my weekend off, too! (Well, by weekend off I mean... Sign in to see full entry.

I saved my shiny one twice, but it is too dark, too cold and too white now-

I can't bear to change my jeans one more time, to don soaked sneakers instead of comfy slippers, or most of all, to leave my toasty warm room. I am sorry, baby car, you will have to wait for tomorrow! It has been snowing since before 10 a.m. and I scraped the snow off my cute red car twice already,... Sign in to see full entry.

I want to go to grad school!

My coworker J celebrated his last day today -and I do mean CELEBRATED! Well, I would have been, too, if it were my last day. I mean, don't get me wrong. I like my colleagues and what I do is cool.... sometimes. But oh, to have that freedom and the wide-open world at my whim once again! So off he... Sign in to see full entry.

Ever had Excitement-Induced Insomnia?

I think I had 50 million thoughts running through my head last night - from boy to car to work to new jobs to freelance to buying a house to money and roommates and friends galore... Finally, I think I fell asleep at 2:30 or so. What a restless night. And to top it all off, I have the worst cramps... Sign in to see full entry.

Maybe I do have an eating disorder....

My friends and mom think i am too skinny. No one will admit they think it is a disorder, but i guess they think i don't eat. Maybe I do have an eating disorder... two hands and only one mouth!!! Cause I sure do eat - chocolate and cookies and pasta and pizza and chicken and whatever is available.... Sign in to see full entry.

I found a place, now all I have to do is...

find some money or make some... find some roommates to help with the mortgage a bit... figure out if i really want to go to grad school, which i think i do... figure out how to pay for my car, my phone, a place, my insurance, gas, food, utilities and the money i still owe my mom... oh boy, what fun...

:.:.:.:.:CRUNCH:.:.:.: - What I saw gave me the shakes the whole way home--

I was less than two miles from my home and just making one of the final turns when I saw many cars and red flashing lights and people standing in the road. I had just missed an accident, maybe minutes before my arrival at the intersection. Three cars - all SUVs I believe - had apparently been... Sign in to see full entry.
