It's funny how people work - or at least the people I encounter. It seems the older I get, the more difficult it is to retain people in my life. I’m thinking this is the opposite of how it should be. I mean, when you're "growing up" of course you change, people change, people move, schools change - there are a variety of reasons why "friends" ( Read more... )

...okay, so I haven't updated in forever. Mostly because it seemed as if I was only posting about bad things that happen. So, in summary, after another car accident; having things stolen by the "repair men"; my apartment not being fully repaired; my best friend's doggie (who I loved like he was my own) dying; my kitchen faucet flying off and ( Read more... )

Here are some pictures I took before they kicked us out of the building:

So I haven't posted in my own journal in forever...that's mainly because I always mess up and somehow end up losing all that I type ( Read more... )

So I planned on spending the weekend in Vegas and returning Monday...instead we had a whirlwhind, 24-hour turnaround day. We left at 8am and were home by 9am the next morning. The show was incredible! I must admit to being a little surprised. I mean, I knew I'd have a good time, but I was surprised and happy at the same time to see how great ( Read more... )

I live almost 80 miles from work, so I try to take the train as often as possible - ya know, save money, wear and tear on the car, get some sleep, those kind of reasons. I definitely DON'T take the train because of the company I keep. I usually get the old, creepy guys that seek me out and sit next to me. There can be twenty empty seats, but ( Read more... )

Many months ago my best friend convinced me I should try the whole "online dating" thing. I resisted at first, but then he convinced me that it really wasn't anymore random than meeting someone at a bar (although now I'd tend to KNOW that I'm right in disagreeing with that statement). Anyway, I finally posted a very brief bio of myself and what I ( Read more... )

I was with my ex for almost five years - we've been broken up for 3 1/2 years now, but we've remained friends. We talk/catch up periodically. He loves my whole family. Even has surfed and worked with my brother (a fellow attorney). So I called him about a week and a half ago for his birthday. Long story short, I found out that he sold his law ( Read more... )

I just went to the ladies' room and noticed that I have a dent in the middle of my forehead...and it's not little, either. It's the entire length of my forehead. I look deformed right now. It's kind of amusing...but only because I'm at work and I don't really care about these people. I took the train in this morning - it was the 4:55am train, ( Read more... )

In the craziness that has been my life these past few months, I'm now trying really, REALLY hard to stay positive and to not let things get me down too much. It's been working thus far, then again I've actually had some fun "distractions" in the meantime, so we'll see ( Read more... )
