all of this and a bag of chips…
I’m currently on my way home. For the most part, I’m sitting in the airport people watching. I can do that homework thing on my next 2 hour layover.
The trip didn’t end miserably, but I would’ve rather taken the trip with a million other people other than S. Seriously, sometimes it doesn’t take a genius to realize why people are still single. I’m by no means stating that I’m the greatest girl in the world, in fact, I know why I’m still single. That’s because there have been only 2 people who have been able to know how to handle me in my lifetime of dating.
Good times…good times.
On the plus side, the bartender at the hotel last night was the sweetest guy EVER. I think he just got me. He was a country boy from Mississippi but had been exposed and LOVED the city just like me. The funny part is that I wasn’t even looking at him in a way to date him — he’s just a guy that’s into the same things. Oh yeah, he runs 5 miles a day…he’s my hero. I’m looking to increase my distance anyway once I can get this homework thing under control.
So it’s gonna take me forever to get back home. I have the layovers from hell and I’m at the airport extremely early. Maybe I can get some shut eye on the plane and do homework later.
vacation notes…
I went on vacation with a guy. We’ll just call him S because I’m sure that we’re not going to mention his name on this blog too often, even if it happens again. Nonetheless, I have a few notes for S.
Rule #1: It is not impressive if on vacation you get so drunk where the girl has to clean up your puke.
Rule #2: Having some table manners isn’t necessary, but it makes life less embarrasing for the girl.
Rule #3: If you’re gonna be in a hurry to go EVERYWHERE, maybe you should seriously rethink your idea of vacation. Vacation is about RELAXATION!!!
Rule #4: If the girl is going to be meeting some of your family members on so-called vacation, you should be aware of the “third wheel” feeling that may arise. Sorry the third wheel was you.
Rule #5: Don’t act like you know everything — even if you think you do. If you shut up for just a moment, you might just realize what the girl that’s been sharing a room with you for 4 days has been trying to tell you.
i’m getting ready for an adventure
Right now I’m sitting in the airport waiting.
Waiting for who?
My future husband…haha.
I’m getting a little nervous about being home for the first time in 10 years. I’m getting a little nervous about it all. I’ve done some crazy things in my lifetime and this feels like one of the craziest. I feel like I’m taking the biggest risk but it’s going to be worth it. I’m nervous, yet calm — so we’ll see.
I’ll keep you updated.
powerless…
I have no idea why for the first time ever we felt the winds of a hurricane all the way up in Ohio. Thanks to Ike, we are without power — possibly until Saturday in many places around me. Thankfully, I have Panera.
There hasn’t been class for the past two days which has me horribly off schedule. I was definitely ready to become completely totally focused and now I have no desire because there’s no power!!!!
There’s power at work and my boss somehow expects me to arrive in business casual attire that I can’t iron and I haven’t been able to wash. Haven’t found a laundromat that still has power either.
Oh with school being closed, that means I probably won’t get my stupid money either. Things are starting to look pretty rough around here.
have you lost my stuff…again?
After spending much of the day on the phone with financial aid at my school, and them insisting that they had NEVER received any of the documents that I had sent them — it appears that the documents were never really missing. They were located safely in my file and no one had entered the information into the computer that they had received them.
Really? I detest incompetent people.
no more politics…at least at work or in my coffee shop
I’m done. The election is still (annoyingly) a couple months away and I’m officially done. I don’t want to talk politics with anyone. I don’t want to hear your views or opinions at work or in the local coffee shop. I definitely don’t want do engage in a debate with you on why I like one candidate over the other and why your candidate makes me wanna puke.
You will not change my mind and asking me the same question phrased differently a million times will not make me answer you.
Please stop.
Thanks.
“high maintenance” girl seeking…
My friend recently described me as being high maintenance. I detest that label, but I figured I’d throw it out there for debate.
I love my jeans and t-shirts. I live in them — but at the same time, I love my high heels. I get my hair done weekly (trust me, I’m not paying out the a**) And I have a fetish for designer shoes and handbags. So much so that in an effort to get me to graduate with honors and not just graduate, my mother offered to buy me my first pair of Manolo’s.
Apparently, I’m even shallow enough that the first thing I ever notice about a guy is his shoes. This is in part because I love shoes and I think that they reveal a lot about a guy — and I used to work at a men’s shoe store.
So it’s no surprise that when I met this guy last Thursday that the first thing I noticed were his shoes (and they were recognizable because I definitely knew the brand from selling them) and his watch…a funky trendy timepiece.
Apparently, he liked what he saw because he commented on my jewelry and said that my shoes were “absolutely hot.”
I think I made a new friend.
17 freaking credit hours…
This is my last week of “vacation” before the next quarter of school starts. On Monday, I begin my quarter of 17 freaking credit hours. I’m not exactly sure if I know what I’m getting myself into, but I’m ready for the challenge — I think.
I just got my books today and after plopping down $600 for books, you’d think I’d be ready. Ha! I still have to go to the store and purchase notebooks and file folders (the only thing that keeps me organized in my online classes) before Monday.
I do have my Google calendar all updated though with class times, work time, and study time all in their own pretty little colors. However, it means that I am BUSY beyond belief and I have very few days that look like downtime. I’m seriously thinking of getting a maid just to do my laundry because I’m not sure when I’m going to fit it all in.
The bright spot in this quarter is that 3 weeks in, I get a little respite in the form of a weekend vacation that I’m taking to San Antonio. I hope it’s refreshing and not a distraction. Guess we’ll see how that goes.
Last but not least, I’m going to try to not let it get so quiet on my page….if all I do is start to talk about school — please understand.
A day off…
It’s Labor Day and I have the day off from work…one of my few true banking holidays and I have no idea what to do with myself.
I’m sitting on the couch toying with the idea of doing something new and funky with my blog template but I’m just not quite sure. Instead, I’m watching a marathon of “My First Home” on TLC and currently glaring at the woman who’s trying to bully her future husband into buying a really expensive house. Soooo freaking annoyed by it all.
I may not do anything at all today except maybe visit a few makeup counters and I need to do some shopping for my vacation in 24 days…yep 24 days until I fly half way across the country to spend a weekend with someone new. Intriguing really…sometimes I think I’m fearless.
