Where did my life go?
My routine? My rut?
I have been keeping so busy I am WAY behind on Battle of the Sexes, Days of Our Lives, That 70's Show and Friends.
I could not be happier.
This winter blew royally. Traffic, weight gain, loneliness, routine, bitter cold, losing touch with friends who were once very close... the list goes on. Yet in the matter of 2 weeks, things have really turned around. Suddenly, I am thrust into a new and exciting situation with people I did not know a month ago. It's funny how someone can be such a vital part of your life one day and just completely disappear the next. You feel like something is missing, but you can't quite put your finger on it. You feel a little emptier. Then come along some people who fill the initial void left by your friend. Am I rambling or what?
This weekend is going to be 66 degrees! PERFECT moving weather. The moving part bites, but at least I'll be outside, getting some exercise, soaking up some sunshine and feeling productive.
It's official! We signed the lease. One of the guys dropped out, but the two I really liked are still in. We are going to interview for a fourth roommate to move in for April 1st. Please send us somebody cool! We celebrated with $3 pitchers at the Cubby Bear. One of the guys knows a bar with great drink specials for every day of the week. I have not decided if that is good or bad, but considering how tired I am after last night and Monday, it is probably a bad thing.
Suck it up, old woman!
We have planned a party for April 4th. How exciting, I have not thrown a party since I was social at Shoemaker. Does that count?
I am proud of myself. For once, I jumped on an opportunity and made it happen instead of sitting around bitching about my luck. Thinking about it last night, I really did jump into this head-first, not thinking about long-term ramifications, per usual. I am now locked into a year with guys I just met. Don't get me wrong, they are great, but my point is I just mindlessly got caught up in all of this without sitting down and really thinking it all out.
I went to Ikea for the first time on Sunday. It is mind-blowingly huge... the parking lot looks like the one at Disney World. Wasn't too expensive and it was chock-full of stuff I wanted. We are going back today. Let me spare my poor, worn out Visa. I am making her work awfully hard lately.
My new goals:
- Make every minute count
- Cultivate meaningful and lasting relationships with people
- Be more responsible with my money
- Find more freelance job$
- Get back in shape so my size 8 bikini looks slammin' at the beach
- Stop buying so many clothes I'll never wear!
