Step Two (Put your dick in that box?)
Yes, I skipped step one.
And in life I probably did. Its the first post of 2008, and I have a lot to say that will probably be in no particular order.
I've successfully started my new year as a single female, and I am not looking back. He was part of my life, a big part, but he and I went different directions, and I refuse to dwell on that.
I have found that being out of college, it is hard to keep a large group of friends around you. There's too much going on to keep them all close to you, and it hurts a lot to accept that fact, because I had four years in college of having multiple good friends around me and all at different times, and I will always treasure that.
It seems though that the marriage bug has jumped in to the minds of many, some actually engaged (many coworkers too) and others thinking about it. That makes me sad too, cause those people will be married and forget about me. I'll be the young single friend they talk about to their married friends. That's all.
I should be looking to move forward if I'm upset about boys and whatnot, but I'm trying to focus on one thing at a time, and right now I'm actually working on two things - getting a position I like at work, and getting myself in to the shape and health I should be in for a 22, soon to be 23, year-old. So far I've expressed as much interest as I can, without being obnoxious, to the Education Resource Center team leaders and manager, and now it's a waiting game. I'll have more news on that as I get it. As far as working out, I have a feeling that if I start doing that, then I won't be so tired all the time. I think that sitting at a desk all day does that to me, and makes me want to go to be 4 hours after I get home from work (11pm for those who don't know my current schedule). Now granted, Mandi goes to bed at 9pm, but she does have to deal with children all day, in person, where I deal with adults that sometimes act like children, but they can't see the faces I make when they act stupid.
That is my new years resolution, in fact. To get in to shape - not diet, not lose weight, but get in to shape. I need to get rid of some flab and get some more muscle, and get myself feeling good about myself again, and do it for me, not to attract guys or because I think so-n-so would like me to look a certain way. No. No more of that. That's how I got to where I was this summer. I'm doing it for me, and maybe I'll get lucky and build my confidence while I'm at it.
Trips to the chiropractor are going ok.. I think I'm in one of those downward dips that supposedly happen in the road to recovery - I hope. I'm actually in a lot of pain as we speak - I can't sit up straight, and I hurt more when I slouch, so hopefully working out with help that too. I'm lucky I've got a massage tomorrow morning.
I have 4 little pets now (Mandi and I call them the babies). We got Degu's over Thanksgiving weekend. I'll eventually get pics up, but they look like big gerbils with teddybear faces. Quite cute. Of course one of mine is the trouble-maker that does a great trick involving turning his head sideways and wiggling his way through the cage bars. A regular David Copperfield. His name is Link. His little shy brother is D.C., then there's their dad, Amedeous, and his father, and the two brother's grandfather, Grandpa (he's blind in one eye and is missing half his tail). We adopted these guys. They're troublemakers but we love them anyway.
That's pretty much it for an update so far - I promise I'll post pics of the boys.
