"Friends' Thanksgiving" was a bit disappointing this year. John moved into a new apartment with is girlfriend, Erika, less than two weeks before the agreed upon date. They assumed Thanksgiving was still being held at their place even though the new apartment was way across town and she has a dog the boys have never met. Justin and I tried to gently ( Read more... )

Today's date alone requires a post. Tons of people around the world got married today or had their doctors induce labor so they could have a baby born today. Pretty crazy. Next year will be the last of the trend for awhile with 12/12/12. No plans for getting married in the winter or having a baby that soon so I guess I'll have to find something ( Read more... )

Went to Splendid Skin this morning with Justin for laser hair removal. It was my 9th bikini line and 6th armpit session. Things are progressing, but I was hoping to be done with my bikini line by this point. I purchased twelve sessions just for it and prefer to believe I won't need any more after that, fingers crossed. I've still got three more ( Read more... )

For the first birthday in potentially ever, I find myself in a stable "big girl" job with no big changes on the horizon. No school to finish, no multiple jobs. I still have that urge like I'm supposed to be looking for the next big step, but I think that is just ingrained in me at this point. This energy is being redirected towards figuring out ( Read more... )

And I've fallen into one of those moods this evening. That type of mood where all the little things become big, obvious things that consume my thoughts while snowballing into bigger conclusions. For instance, I've decided that unless I live in the same city as someone, they don't keep in touch with me. I've had quite a few friends that ( Read more... )

Leigh's son, Matthew, was diagnosed with Leukemia last week. He is responding well to treatment and the doctors say if he makes it through the first month he'll have a high likelihood of surviving. This situation has forced Leigh and Wyman to be in a small hospital room together for long amounts of time. One big fight has already occurred and I'm ( Read more... )

Today was the Oaks at Churchill Downs. I wanted to find a hat or dress with pink because you're supposed to wear pink at Oaks for breast cancer awareness. Unfortunately, none of the pink hats fit my small head and the champagne dress was too cute to pass up. Justin's outfit was a little harder to find than mine. He wears a size that most places ( Read more... )

Justin got the produce manager position. Now we'll make the same amount of money and can start paying off school debt and attempting to save up for a down payment on a condo. He'll be training in Fort Wayne next week, which means he'll be back in town for the week of Oaks. Pretty exciting. I like that we're both at the beginning of a new job that ( Read more... )

Had brunch at Ramsis with Justin and Paul today. They had a full dessert bar along with the omlette bar and hot food bar. There was french toast, pancakes, biscuits and gravy (regular and vegan), eggs, sausage, bacon, jamaican jerk chicken, yogurt, oatmeal, fruit, vegan potstickers, potatoes.... Soo much to eat. Definitely worth the $16 per person ( Read more... )

My first "week" at Z's is over. This weekend is definitely needed. The Aveda rep for Z's got me into the class with Autumm on Monday and Tuesday. We learned about the different Aveda products and even though we didn't focus a lot on body products, it was informative. The other people in the class were hair stylists and front desk workers. I've felt ( Read more... )
