Dear West Coast: We know you have more earthquakes than us here on the east coast, but if you are allowed to panic when you get a half inch of snow, we are allowed to panic when the earth shakes for 10 seconds. Sincerely, The East Coast

Today in my head, I made out, had sex, broke up, got back together again, married, had kids, grew old and died with a man I walked past in the corridor.

Mom: Put this away, this is how your stuff gets lost. Me: No, you hiding my stuff and thinking you're putting it away for me is how my stuff gets lost.

you know you've been friends with someone for a very long time when you still remember their home number from back when you still had to go through "Hi, can I please speak to..." shenanigans.

Anyone can catch my eye, but it takes a special person to catch my drift.

Just saw an ad for "minimal running shoes." I'm pretty sure I already own several pairs - I call them "heels."

The end of a long relationship is like finishing a marathon. You feel like you may throw up, but are still proud you finished. However, one thing is certain. Only a crazy person would try to start running another one the next day.

They say that you learn more from failure than from sucess. I think it's not really failure as long as you learn from it. If you learn from it, it's just an experience that didn't turn out as planned.


My gut was screaming, "NO!! NO!!! NO!!!" and my mind was screaming, "well that's effed up." That and the gladness I feel at being free of the situation makes me believe I made the right decision.

Finally got a job. Not my dream, but hey it's a paycheck and experience and in this economy you take what you can get and be grateful. Sooooo . . . just saw an ad for a job in my hometown area with better pay, better benefits, and a whole heck of a lot less travel. Oh, and in an area I've had interest in. And near family including wonderful, darling niece. *akward giggle* Just saw it today. It was posted about two days after I had accepted this job and was really busy with other things. All that time looking local and then BAM!

Anyway. . .

"Tomorrow is a different day "

Butterflies

First day of first real job tomorrow. Nerves. I know I passed many tests to show I'm qualified but right now I'm not feeling qualified to count past five. I figure the first week or two will be pretty rough. A lot of newness and learning the ropes. Things'll get better though. I just have to keep telling myself that. I was really nervous with my first summer job. I calmed down and by the end of the second year, you'd never guess I'd ever felt nervous. Yeah, I felt better after working a few weeks, but it was around the second when I felt really really comfortable.

I just have to keep telling myself that I am not stupid, that things will get better, that what seems overwhelming now, will later settle into something very managable.

*fingers crossed*
