"Wake up, you idiots! Whatever made you think paper was so valuable?"

 Right. All it took was a day like today to get my head on straight. We didn't do much, but, really, those are the best times. We took out trash at the apartments and "earned" $20 which we spread throughout the day so we could eat well. Lunch consisted of White Hut, I made a dinner of ham steak and pineapple, and then dessert at Friendly's! And now ( Read more... )

 So I got some shit done this morning. Nick and I are starting off with a Sunday route in Holyoke, and hopefully getting a daily soon as one opens up nearby! I called HCC and got the typical asshole, impersonal response. I hate them. But, well, what else does a middle class girl do with 4 siblings and 3 parents? We OBVIOUSLY have enough money to ( Read more... )

I LOVE NICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is Friday, probably my favorite day of the week now. I'm purely happy, and now I'm thinking....it's not too good to be true. It's real. I thought it was too good to be true while I was in Africa, and I was right. But now....we're back right where we left off in September. Before any of the bullshit, and it feels so ( Read more... )

 Before I put my computer aside I just wanted to write a couple things down. There's something about winter, when the purest pangs of happiness shoot through me. I can't really describe it. I can say that the two times it happened to me today, the Beatles were playing ( Read more... )

Things are finally happening! Nick and I are doing a paper route together, I am going to HCC, and will be trying to sign up for American Environmental History! I thought there was more? OH! HOW COULD I FORGET?! Monday I am flying down to Maryland to meet Mal and her aunt, then Tuesday her and I are driving home! By the time we get back Nick will be ( Read more... )

I honestly think Dear Prudence by The Beatles is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Every time I hear it I am amazed. In other news I finally got to the Kinks and really really like them. Like, a lot. I have been craving some classic rock lately, but couldn't find anything to fit my mood. This. Is. It. Like a missing piece, it all ( Read more... )

Today was nice! Lay in bed until 2, then jumped up and got going on my day. Did a lot of errands and ate rather well. Did Christmas shopping finally, and kinda went crazy. For the first time I am only buying for my Mom, Dad, brother, and Nick. Nobody else. Well, actually, Nick's mom re-gifted me some picture frames which I may use....haha they're ( Read more... )

Well, this weekend was pretty good. I picked up Galapagos and Love, Stargirl from Nick tonight. We ate a great, full, dinner together and they have their tree up! We were supposed to show our house today but the people cancelled....my house looks kinda like those out of the magazines. It sucks. I feel so sick right now, I think I may be getting a ( Read more... )

Quick update...let's see. My day began with a really good conversation with my Dad on the phone, and Nick in my bed. I love waking up to him, that has also become a weekly routine. Didn't do much today at all, in the end, I am satisfied. I am really leaning towards Bay Path, it seems like a really good choice for me. We have a showing tomorrow, and ( Read more... )
