Will this ever end?
I guess I really opened a can of worms when I told “M” that she can’t live in my apartment.
Now my aunt isn’t speaking to me, besides sending me horrible texts. My uncle has “let me go” from one of my freelance positions (which I knew as coming, but shouldn’t have come over text message) this morning. Even my fourteen year old cousin isn’t speaking...
The Grand Finale:
Things definitely come in threes.
First, it was me opening my big mouth last night to “M” about her not getting my apartment when I move out. As soon as the words came out, I knew I would live to regret them.
Second, my ATM card being destroyed in the ATM machine when I left it there yesterday evening. We all know what an inconvenience that is!I already ordered my new card, but...
There's this:
MY FREAKING ATM CARD GOT DESTROYED LAST NIGHT IN AN ATM MACHINE!
Picture it: 5:15 pm, the farmers market was in full swing. I was late to the table with my uncle, so I hurriedly got cash out of the ATM and walked away forgetting my card. I didn’t notice it all night because I spent $12— $6 on a polish sausage and $6 on a glass of terrible wine.
Flash forward to this morning: my...

Feeling Accomplished
It’s 8:20 in the morning and I’m sitting here in my grandparents’ quiet house at the breakfast bar. Usually during this time of morning the smell of coffee and maple bacon permeates the air. My grandmother makes her morning phone calls the same way she has for the past fifty years and my grandfather hogs the newspaper. Since coming back to my hometown, I’ve grown accustomed...
lately
So so so so so so so so soooo much has been happening. I can’t wait for the moment I have Internet at my house, which won’t be too far away.
In list form, like always:
I applied for a new job.
Got hired two days later.
Went in to my old job to give my resignation. They were actually promoting me at the SAME EXACT TIME I handed them my letter.
It was terrible and scary and crazy,...
To make this day even better—- my boyfriend got us awesome seats at Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw’s Brothers of the Sun concert this Sunday!!!!
Ahhhhh!!!!
I’m going to start planning my outfit now!!!!
YES!
I’m so incredibly excited!
I finally got a chance to do the phone interview with the editor of the women’s magazine that I’m interested in being employed with. We spoke on the phone for well over an hour and it went really really well!
I learned a lot of great things about the magazine. But I also learned some scary things— first of all, the pay is more just different....

What I am probably going to do every five...
CHECK MY EMAIL Now that I have put those two resume and portfolio packages out for those amazing positions, I’m going to obsess over whether or not they are going to contact me. I did the same thing when I landed the job where I am working now. Honestly, I do enjoy my job. If the economy was any better I would probably love it. It’s just so darn hard to get people to advertise their...
Expcerted from a text with Fletcher:
Ink for you, keys for me.
Clickety-clack, let me be—
far outside the edge of town,
on a river wide and brown.
Bodies and bones, beneath the surface
what’s theirs is mine—
with a purpose.
Today was so busy!
Lately I have felt like I want to go on a (fake/dramatic/hormonal) killing spree. Seriously people, why do you have to be so stupid?
Most of these people are people I deal with at work. Great.
I was so busy today that I almost had a meltdown.
My meltdown could have been due to too much caffeine too.
Iced tea is apparently not my friend.
The second day of my diet is going well.
...
I'm on a roll...
Today my purchases include:
a pair of black SBICCA sandals. Yes, I’m bringing them back.
Four more of my favorite keyhole halter tops in various colors
(still to be purchased) a shellac mani
(still to be purchased) DRINKS!!!!!!!!!!
Vacation Day No. 2:
Yesterday’s vacation day was entirely wasted… all I did was lay around, go to breakfast, hang out with my boyfriend, shop and watch tv.
Today, I feel like I need to accomplish something. I’ve already wasted an hour of my life watching some ridiculous Adam Sandler movie.
I plan on accomplishing the following:
Laundry (colors, whites and sheets)
Catch up on my TiVo
Shellac...

Exactly one year ago today I was released from the hospital.
During the entire month of June 2011, I was hundreds of miles away from my safe and happy little hometown in a Lakewood, CA hospital bed with a life-changing illness. I’ve debated whether or not to write about this— it’s not because…
