Brian's flight got delayed today until a later time, so he won't be able to do a part-day at work after all. So, instead, I'll be picking him up at the airport. I will get to see him around 2 whole hours sooner than if he'd gone to work today--wooo ( Read more... )

I don't know how often people buy music, but I do it pretty often. In fact, ever since I was 11-years-old and bought my very first CDs (Goo Goo Dolls and Savage Garden, if you'd like to know), I've been hooked. Before that, I even had a growing thing for tapes (Queen, Matchbox 20, Tracy Chapman, and The Police), even at age 9-years-old ( Read more... )

Today is another one of those strange days that feels as if the time isn't going right. I woke up far, far too late today (around 10 minutes before noon), when I'm used to getting up at a reasonable time. I think it was because I caved in yesterday and got Panda Express (all steamed veggie side, mandarin chicken, and beef&broccoli). I just couldn't ( Read more... )

This may sound like I'm talking out of my ass, but I'm actually very serious about this: Brian and I are thinking about going to Japan. It started out as a reaction to the fact that everyone keeps asking me if I've gone to Japan at every Meet Up I've been to. Like, holy shit people, how easy do you think this is that I, as a previously-college- ( Read more... )

Christmas was...the way you might have expected it to turn out.

I went grocery shopping for my mom today...and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. I needed help finding things and getting things because it's my MOM'S list, and I don't know where the things that she gets are. And everyone I talked to was rude and unhelpful. I encountered two people who were just like, "Oh, uh, I don't know.......* ( Read more... )

So, my mom texted me while I was out grocery shopping today after work. "r u home tomorrow?" and then before I answered anything, "tomorrow i will be home after 10am. we r talking then". I saw them today when they came home after going out to eat tonight (this is after going to the Vineyard for several days on yet another vacation), and asked what ( Read more... )

I've been getting really lucky these past three days. On Thursday, I got a text message from Kolleen Bylciw (yeah, that last name is why I just call her 'Kolleen') that they needed me on Friday night. I was like, SCORE! 'Cause with my 18 hour week, there was no way I'd be meeting my own personal budget minimum. I need to make $200 a week to just ( Read more... )

Today I woke up at 10:00am to go to this other street art fair with my mom. I was barely able to get up for it...I was so tired. Working at Godiva drains my soul more than anything. Like, yesterday was a bit of a nightmare ( Read more... )
