I just proofed my last article at work. Farewell party at 2, exit interview at 3, then my dad's over to start loading some boxes.

I panicked two nights ago and stayed up until 5 am packing. Thank god I did, because I grossly miscalculated how much crap I have. I've spent the past few days shuttling between my two favorite used clothes stores and ( Read more... )

I'm starting to get a little frazzled. LET ME TELL YOU WHY:

1. Bank of America, in its infinite wisdom, decided to block my debit card on Friday. When I visited my local branch, the teller couldn't explain why. Supposedly they mailed me a new card for no reason on the 22nd, but I never got it. Womp, womp. So now I have a temporary replacement and ( Read more... )

I rarely ever mention my family here -- generally when I do it's a complaint. That's not going to change in this entry, though they are great people most of the time.

So, quick background:

My mom was born in Colombia, the middle child in a giant family with very strict parents. She was the first to move to the US, and she put herself through ( Read more... )

I just got this e-mail from Arleta, our Customer Relations Analyst:

Before I resume pretending I'm going to keep up with this music meme....

I just posted my going-away event on Yelp: http://www.yelp.com/events/washington-farewell-dc-yelpies. I'm going to send out evites/Facebook invitations/carrier pigeons tonight when I get home from going out to dinner, but for now you can use that link for the date/time/location ( Read more... )

I got a call Tuesday night with the fantastic news that I had a place to put my stuff when I move in a few weeks. I now have a Boston address! I'll be living in Jamaica Plain -- a really pretty, residential area outside the city (but still by a T stop) with its own arboretum and pond. I'll either have three girl roommates or four, depending on a ( Read more... )

Day 07. A song that reminds you of a certain event.

Click to view

I've attended several weddings in the past few years. They've mostly been in Florida (UF undergrad + family in Miami), but the last one took place in historic St. Mary's City, an hour and a half drive from me. The May ceremony was outside overlooking a river, and the reception was under a giant ( Read more... )

So, photobooth.com is not the same as photobucket.com...

Day 06. A song that reminds you of somewhere.

I participated in a study abroad program to Paris while I was in high school. The Spice Girls were huge at that time, and I brought a bunch of CDs (and my Discman, whoooaa) along with me. My favorite song was "Viva Forever," and I listened to it ( Read more... )

The bathroom saga continues!

I was in a stall, peeing, next to a girl one stall over, also peeing. All was quiet on the western front until she started talking. Which was weird. Until I figured out she was talking on the phone. While she peed. In a work bathroom. Remember that entry I wrote about common sense? Yeah ( Read more... )
