hi.
* the basement is remodled.
* i'm kicking ass at work.
* my family and i are better than we have been in a long time, in part to my dad's girlfriend. i so hope they get married.
* i'm losing weight. (something i never thought possible.)
* i have a real date tonight, and i'm just a little nervous.
i am getting the internet back today. which means that when i am not working, i can be online. at least a little bit.
i went to rochester this weekend with my dad, brian, paul and linda. (linda is my dad's girlfriend.) we went to the lilac festival and i got my picture taken with lilacs! i am going to grow one someday. they smell so pretty. SO pretty.
the basement went from brown painted cement and 70's dark wood paneling to a pretty blue! we also carpeted the basement and made a nice living space for outselves. i'm turing into a regular home and gardens lady. i'm working on a color scheme for my room next.
brian passed his boards, as i have mentioned before i think, and he is waiting on a few hospitals and nursing homes to call back. he turned into a REAL man. not your typical man, but a real... gentleman. he is seriously my best friend next to my pop. who knew that leaving home for 9 months could just bring my family and i closer together? brian and i drive around a lot and we talk about getting a house together. not immediately, but in the next year or so. he might move somewhere after he establishes some good employment history, and i might follow him after i take care of some much needed bill paying. haha.
priorities have changed a lot in the last year. i don't know how to specify or even explain, or if i even want to get into that whole concept right now, but things couldn't be better. i'm happy, i wake up everyday not knowing what is next, but having some sort of focus. and honestly, i like that. i like being ambitious and goal-oriented. so does my job. in case you dont know, i am working at a doubletree hotel. i started as a front desk clerk a month and a half ago, and two weeks ago was moved over to night auditor. its not a step UP its a step TOWARDS .. UP. (at least i think so.) i thought i would hate the hours of 11pm to 7am, but i love it. i get my job done by 3:30 most nights and i get 4 hours to work on my projects. my writings, my crosswords (because i am a nerd now) and such.
so. yeah, i also have a date tonight. (not my first) i'm a little nervous and unsure of what's up. i'm not oblivious to what he wants.... its not like we haven't.. gone there before, but nervous because i guess i want to know exactly what is up, and what will happen. i dont like being unsure of boys. and that is probably because i always am anyways. does that make any sense? it made sense as i was thinking about it and typing.. ah well.
its now 5:30 and i'm going to get back to work.
toodles for now.
