murder

I discovered that there has been a murder in my new place.

Apparently it happened in the kitchen and the cause was drowning.

It wasn't that long ago, actually it happened since I moved in and I was the one that did the killing. (scary, I know)

Poor little flowers.

book-stuff

I finished The Nanny Diaries last night. It was what I was looking for: light, entertaining, quick & easy read.

It's the fifth month and somehow I've only finished 2 books. geez. I'm three books behind my goal.

So, I'm off to the next book. I'll let you know how it goes. :-)

off to Canada, eh?

I received a Yahoo travels email this morning. There wasn’t anywhere where I’d like to visit listed in the email but I decided to check to see if flights to Winnipeg had gone down any. And they had. I got really excited and checked a couple of sites to find that prices were nearly $100 less than the last time I checked and the last time I checked the cheapest airport to fly out of (locally) was Indy. So, a flight out of Cincy is/was about $75 less than a flight out of Indy was previously. I immediately emailed Christine to let her know about the idea and to make sure it wasn’t going to conflict with anything they had going on. She surprisingly emailed me back quickly and said that everything was good on her end.

Since I was at work I decided to postpone my little searching and possible booking adventure until lunchtime so I wouldn’t get reprimanded. I stopped in the break-room to fill up my cup with water and glanced at my horoscope in the paper. “Watch out for Internet purchases. Celebrate what you do have.” I didn’t know how to react, “Umm, so what should I do now? Crap. Crap. Crap. Does this really mean anything? What a weird coincidence though. Hmm.”

I returned back to my desk and at lunch made finding the best deal on a flight my top priority. I called Vickey, my dad’s fiancée, to find out when we were celebrating my dad’s 50th Birthday (June 14th) and we decided it would happen on Father’s Day weekend. So, that settled the date dilemma. I gave my PTO request to my boss to make sure I’d be able to not work. He signed it right then and I rushed back to my desk to book my ticket. The second it completed I called Christine to let her know.

I am SO EXCITED! I’m an eensy teensy bit nervous about my Grandpa’s health and if anything is going to happen. Other than that, I’m all set to visit my best friend in Canada!

YIPPEE!

enough.

So, lately i've had the habit of thinking about a specific guy and i'd like it to stop now. it hasn't been bad, but i'm just kinda sick of going through all the thoughts and reasons and complexities and honestly nothing is going to happen. ever.


last night I had a great time with Jen and some of her friends. we had dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate her birthday. Plus, I picked up a new book at half price books. it's good so far.

more later...

on the upswing

two really good conversations happened this week with people that i love and haven't had a good chat with in such a long time. It was really needed.

I don't know how much more to share on a public site but I am really glad that life is better than it was two weeks ago. Even though the next three weeks will prove to be busy and stressful I am happy about what is happening.

Other amazing news:
I signed up for the photography class. I nearly decided to postpone it but I was/am too excited about it to let everything else get in the way of learning about something that I'm interested in. (the only downside is that it occurs on a certain night that I wish it wasn't on) I talked to my dad about the wedding pictures that I'm supposed to be taking and he basically wants everything of the opposite of what I'd like. So, it will make me happy to be taking the photos but not so happy b/c it won't be what I'd really like to do.

What's" Your Personality Type?

it's been a rough two weeks...

Life is getting better. I don't know if this is worse than high school or not (hmm, the bad times are probably better than the bad times in high school). Stupid crazy emotions. One day I'm finally gonna control my emotions instead of letting them lead my life.


anyways, enough of that.

tuesday we talked a bit about personality types and it was pretty amazing. somehow, i'm an extrovert. a shy one apparently. that's another thing i'd like to be done with: shyness, insecurity, whatever you want to call it.


I can't believe I'm writing this stuff....
