Can someone please explain to me the whole ‘b’ in front of laughter on the Interwebs.
Example: Bahahaha….
I don’t get it.
What I hear in my head when I read it sounds like someone possibly throwing up.
Resolutions!
The 2012 resolutions (in no particular order):
Go back to Bikram Yoga (though I may have to trade my “services” to afford it)
Find a new home that I actually love (this is a mid year one)
Make my Etsy store awesome therefore making it profitable…
Eat better, go to the farmer’s market weekly for produce and stop buying EVERYTHING at the chain stores…

What the fuck happened to me this year?
So, now I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield as an insurance carrier and that’s awesome, the shit at Target was awful. Anyway, they sent me this card that told me if I did a bunch of random stuff that they would pay for, they would send me Visa cards full of free monies! DONE!
So, I took a health screening. Well, really, some people took some blood and weighed me and then I got this list telling...

I wish,
I wish that I could convey my personality and intentions in text. I mean COMPLETELY convey. I want people to understand when I am sarcastic and when I mean just exactly what I am saying.
People should not read into things, they should just properly read them, maybe twice…..maybe three times.
Don’t make me feel bad because my entire apartment has self destructed in the past month and...

I have determined that I cannot bitch about things/people anywhere on the Interwebs but…HERE. Prepare to feel my annoyance!

I tried...
Last night I ventured to St. A with a group of friends that live in Jax.
Bit-o-background. These friends are people I have known since I was 7 OR in middle school. They have all been very close with each other for years, including one pair of sisters, and I was left out of that group when I moved away bc of the divorce. They went to college together and all they like to do for fun is get drunk...
Today I learned...
Tax exempt weekend DOES apply to thrift stores. I am on the hunt for some cool kitchy mirrors and I wanted to punch the 5 people that either walked directly into me OR hit me with their carts (then touched me in apology, gross!)
As an additional lesson, I learned I really don’t enjoy other people when they are shopping, as if I didn’t already know this. I actually had to stop walking...
Facebooks.
I have deactivated my Facebook account. Wanna start taking bets on how long this lasts??

Mini Rant...
I’m a little hurt that my cousin went to Disney and didn’t even call me. He lives in Jersey, I never see him and he was 2 hours away and nothing! I think he’s still mad that I didn’t meet up with them last year, but if you know me for a minute, you know I won’t go hang out with my dad, so when he was put in the picture, I didn’t go.
This is why the word family...
I made this last night, too! →
Things I actually want/need for my birfday!
ALL OF THE LARKIN POE CDs! (and the Rocket to the Moon EP they are on)

Photos, paintings, prints and any types of wall art. (framed if possible)
A side table.
A floor lamp.
Chocolate cake/cupcakes.
Beads of any kind.
Vintage things.

amazed.
It is almost shocking that I could get in trouble for not being somewhere when I didn’t know that I was supposed to be there. Shocking.
I can’t decide if I am doing the wrong thing. I want to make a leap but I am so frightened that I will fail, or this opportunity will fail, and then I will be stuck or worse.
My life is completely stupid right now. STUPID.
I'm in love...
with messy ponytails, Large Men’s waffle shirts, slippers, craft beers and nights with friends.
SO IN LOVE.

Phone mishap...
I dropped my Droid in a cup of soda….in my car….lame.
I had to go to Verizon and add insurance to get a new one so I have officially been without a phone since 4am on Wednesday and I am dying. Bad enough I can’t have my fix but I was house-sitting so if they called they are probably freaking out AND I had an amazing interview the other day and I really, really hope that if they...

Day 2
My portion of the fridge is slimming down, I can’t go to the farmer’s market until Saturday, I’ll live on the last of my Ramen until then.
On a brighter note, my roomies are all cooking and, as stated in my rules, I have to eat it, it is a gift!
Also, none of them cook often so it’s super fun to watch them.
Promises to myself:
Tomorrow I will run!
This week I will...
So it begins...
Enjoying a homemade scone and tea!! Scones from whatever I found in the cabinets and some cranberries from the local co-op!
So I think this will be easy-ish this week, I have a ton of food to get rid of in my part of the pantry, guess next week will be the kicker.
Kicking the soda habit wasn’t that bad, a few days with a slight afternoon headache (which could have been caused by work)...
Local Prep: Day 1
Today I stopped drinking soda…FOR REAL! Day one has been decent, had some wine so the headache might be that and not the lack of caffeine, we shall see.
I also had the last pizza I’ll probably have for awhile, unless it’s made from stuff I find in town. Sad.
Tomorrow is a work day, on all sides, so I may not even think about my prepping duties. Take care, all.
Cali
Today, I booked my flight to California in January. I’m headed West to see my bestie, take in some culture and maybe find a job!!!
I looked up some cool things to do, but if you know of anything fun in San Diego, throw it at me!
Now, I’m going to be anxious for 3 months. great.

Eat Local Challenge!
I have recently decided to try to only eat locally! I’m going to have a running goal, starting with just one week and moving from there, I don’t want to overwhelm myself. Below is my statement of the challenge. I will begin this on November 7, 2010, so this week is all about prep, researching and depleting what is currently in my pantry.
I will do my best to document this experiment...

I don't work here, leave me alone!
Today, after work, I went to Michael’s. I needed some beads, I ran out mid-necklace, so I was looking for specific ones. There was a lady in the aisle, she looked over at me and said ” I have a question, when you’re finished.” I looked at her like she was crazy and said “I don’t work here.” She went over to the other aisle.
Then some lady started to ask...

For some reason I have become some sort of personal pariah. I seem to not want people to be very close to me so I sabotage my own relationships, friendships and all.
I don’t remember what it feels like to be me anymore. I REALLY hope that after graduation I can take the days set aside in NYC to reconnect with myself, or at least learn to deal with whomever I have become. I don’t like...

I finally stopped being too lazy to do this…
oh Interwebs...
Apparently more people that I thought actually read this, and interestingly enough they feel the need to share the things I say. I am not really surprised by this fact, but I guess I am surprised that people would “tell on me.”
I know that ranting online is juvenile, but I dare say that I am quite mature and very responsible. We all mess up once in awhile.
This is not an apology...

Third time is NOT a charm...either is the fourth...
The worst part? I knew it was coming…I felt it. My heart was slowly breaking and now I just loathe the ground you touch.
Hope the third time is a charm with the other one…

need some strength
I need a hand, I need some love, I need a bit of confidence.
I’m scared of graduating. I’m scared of being in charge. I’m scared of doing things.
I can’t deal with the jealousy. I can’t deal with the cattiness. I want to be calm.
I am angry at myself for letting my emotions turn mean….again.
I NEED an escape.

Grow Up!
Today I went to the dentist…I had the second appointment of the day so there was one other person there before me, a guy. Not only was he accompanied by his grandmother but she also proceeded to fill out all of his paperwork while he read a magazine entitled ‘Animals.’ This was a little silly to me, as I am overly independent and was going to the doctor alone when I was 17....
I hate the dentist SO BAD! I think that right now I could bite down on my tounge so hard it would bleed and not feel a thing. I have a rant for after my numb-fighting-nap.
