Sleeping Beauty Awakens... again...
I don't have the heart to abandon my LJ. I never post, I never read my friends' page, hell, until very very recently I was never ONLINE! But circumstances in my life have caused me to be able to be on more often than in recent history. Still wasting a lot of time on MySpace, but more often than not you'll find me on Facebook. It still feels less like Romper Room than MySpace, even though the kiddies are starting to take it over as well.
Still working at Stop & Shit, though not in the Seafood Dept. anymore, for reasons that I can't even tell you because I don't know them myself. I was just given the boot back in November of '08 and have been back in the Deli ever since. It's not right, it's not fair, but it's also not going to change until a certain person in the Seafood Dept decides to quit. (And a LOT of people besides me are waiting for that to happen.)
On the relationship front, he and I are still together, same as we've been for the last 8 years. He doesn't count the first 6 years before he moved in though, because if you ask him, he'll say we've only been together for 2, cause that's how long we've been -living- together. We have our ups and downs, seem to be a lot more downs than ups lately. But I know in the long run this relationship will be good for me, because I've already grown so much as an individual with his help. I've cut some really negative people out of my life, people who, when it came right down to brass tacks, didn't give a fuck about me, only about what I could DO for them. I don't need people like that in my life. My job already does that to me, I don't need my "friends" doing it too.
Still no kids, and still relatively ok with that. I mean, sure I kinda want a baby of my own, but it seems like I don't lack for child companionship lately, since we babysit my cousins just about every weekend. They're fun, but it's an absolute joy to see them go home too.
My plans for school tanked, but I'm hoping maybe with a grant or two I can enroll in the Spring @ Three Rivers. Yeah I know, *gasp* community college, but it's all I can afford right now, and I can barely afford THAT. But I don't plan to slice Deli meat all my life, and if I want a "real" job, I need to get an education -somewhere,- don't I?
And now that I've bored y'all with a recap of the last 10 months, I'ma go finish the dishes and hang out with "the dude" for a while before I have to go to work. I'll try to do this more, I really will.
