Feeling utterly overwhelmed by everything in life right now. Desperately wishing for a reset button, decisions erased, to be someplace, any place else ( Read more... )

The mom once again offered to let J and I move in with her while we sufficiently saved for a house (yes, yes, my house yadda yadda wtfever). J and I talked it over, and did a bit a math, and are sort of seriously considering it knowing it would be for a very limited time. Lots of pros, lots of cons, lots of money to be saved in the short term. As ( Read more... )

I had a dream about Pierre tonight. He was alive but scruffy, and not in a zombie way, just...suddenly alive. I patted him on the head, and told him he was a good dog. He watched me with his little black eyes, always full of love and expectation. I realized though, I was too wary to open my heart to him in the dream, as I knew he'd go away again, ( Read more... )

I do often lament about some of my co-irkers, and there are some that I'd rather leave rather take in the "take 'em or leave 'em" category. But the last few weeks at work have been fraught with drama dropped on our doorstep, and I've come to realize, that I do have a sort of work family, and that we care for each other.

Their appetizer/bar menu is where its at, and we got to taste a wide variety of items without filling up on ( Read more... )

On the one hand, its like Twitter, and I can share things in a similar manner to those not using Twitter but I'm also not going to abandon my Twitter for Buzz, nor am I ( Read more... )

I'd like to note for the record this was one of the best Christmas' I've had as an adult. It wasn't because the gifts were awesome, though they were, one and all, but the thoughtfulness behind each present and holiday celebration. I was also moved by the unexpected gifts from friends and colleagues reminding my how extensive my extended family is ( Read more... )

I think I really was crazed last year when we decided to have our wedding so close to Christmas. Separating anniversary shopping/planning from Christmas shopping/traveling is a bit nerve wracking, but I think we've managed at least the first hurdle pretty well ( Read more... )

If I were honest with myself I'd stop dwelling altogether since it brings nothing but trouble and anxiety. I'd like to say I gain beneficial insight and deep understanding from my moody introspective periods, but that often is not the case. I easily become the type to zone out entirely lost in thinking about nothing I can verbalize, or find myself ( Read more... )
