Well, It has been 6 months. I still don't feel like a CO resident, but altogether things are going well. I'll get the bad things out of the way first. Still struggling with money a bit. Still too terrified to drive. I can't wait to move out of my windowless, depressing basement apartment. Now onto the good. I love my landlords and their kids. I ( Read more... )

So, I've been in Colorado for a month exactly today. So far it's not what I expected. Things seldom are. I do like it. I feel better all around. It's just that transitional period. I don't think it ever runs smoothly ( Read more... )

Two weeks left! I cannot wait to get out of here! I am so excited. It's really down to the wire now. I have a little over a week left at my job and I couldn't be happier. We found an apartment that is lovely. The landlady is so nice. I'm almost completely set on which place I'm going to work at. The moving truck is reserved and Hugh is going to ( Read more... )

Life is at another good axis. Things have been going well. Some things not so much, but I try to ignore them. Kiri and I got our tattoos, finally. We settled on a strawberry from across the universe and some Beatles lyrics. Funny how we are best friends and yet had so much trouble finding things in common to get tattooed. It only took us a year or ( Read more... )

Christmas was good this year. Hugh got a mac and i got a a ton of books and movies. Though it's not really about presents. It's not even about God or Jesus to me. I just can't believe. But i believe in good, and warmth, and family. And in May we'll both get out of here. That's all I really want. As for New Years resolutions, I wouldn't even know ( Read more... )

I am really bad with money. Really really bad. I think I have a problem. I have a lot of bills and I bitch about it every check. The economy sucks. Work has been incredibly slow. We're trying to get out of here and out to CO. I have 4 credit cards that are all half maxed. And two loans. Not to mention Hugh's three loans and two credit cards. With ( Read more... )

I really need a "ghost of christmas future" experience right now to tell me just why I should stick around. I can't see it on my own.

I feel like i did everything in my whole life backwards. In ways I grew up way too fast. Taking on responsibilities no other child would dream of. Moving out at 14. Getting my own apartment at 16 with a boyfriend. Who I thought for sure I would marry. Only to prove to myself that I was mature. But I missed out on other things, like learning to ( Read more... )

I've been really bummed out... OK, I've been depressed. It's all the usual stresses of life, causing the usual angst. I toss and turn all night and get no sleep from the things going around in my head. In turn I am exhausted when I get home from work so I crash on the couch. I can hardly bring myself to get up. I lay there in the dark for hours. ( Read more... )

So. I'm moving to CO and I'm really excited. PA is so dead end. It's going to take a while to get thing together. We're planning on next spring. New life, here I come...
