25 years and counting.

Tonight we celebrated my Aunt and Uncle and their 25 year marriage. It's pretty awesome to see such a cool couple that still really love each other.
It makes me wonder why other people just can't make it. I think a lot of people think that love happens to you, instead of something that requires work. Yet again, I've never been married so I can't really say. But it was cool to see some old friends and family and you know, when you are family, you just gotta show up to things like that.
It's late Sunday night and all I want to do is fall asleep but I am finishing making spaghetti for lunches this week and also waiting for a load of laundry to dry.
I was always in such a rush to grow up as a kid and sometimes I will be doing something really responsible and grown-up like and think to myself, " Why was I rushing into this?" hehehe.
I miss blogging and I wish I had a computer at work. But as I was told last week by a supervisor, "You aren't high up enough on the food chain"
Yep, she really said that to me, and I KNOW she meant it. Ha, aren't people funny?

Unemployed but not undone

Trying to get a job stinks. The whole process is degrading and makes you feel desperate.

Like today, for example, where I walk into a situation thinking I am actually going to have an interview and I don't get to talk to anyone at all. I am handed an application ( they already have a copy of my resume with all the same information) and told that if they are interested they will contact me within a week or so. And if I was really honest with myself, I don't want that job. If they offered me the job I would take it because they have great benefits and I need something to pay the bills. But how do I sell myself if I haven't sold myself on the job.

I have been through a few interviews recently where I realized I am too interesting for the job. It's not only over-qualified, it's that my rich life experiences can't really fit into a cubicle.

I can't sell myself well into a cubicle. So what do I do? Where do I go from here?

I know that God has a plan for my life and that I don't see the details until He is ready for me to see them, but that sucks too. 

I'm not giving up on Him, so I guess I shouldn't give up on myself either.

Run it out

I started running every day back at the beginning of April and have for the most part kept it up.

The thing with running that I have realized is that when I don't run I get depressed and I let negative feelings and thoughts creep in. It's not so much about the weight loss or anything but has been an amazing stress reliever. 

I would love to be a marathon runner some day but for now, I do 2 1/2 miles and feel the stress and sweat leave my body. Try it, it works!

i'm BAAAACK!

I am so excited to have my laptop back!!!

My Dad had his stolen and then I let him borrow mine for a while.

I feel like I am discovering the internet all over again. I love blogs. This one, and many others.

They feel like magazines to me, only you don't have to cut down any trees to write a blog!

There will be many more posts now that I am back in the land of the internet.

Ciao!

Goodbye to the 2.0 me.

I cancelled my MySpace account today and I feel more like a grown up for doing it.

I do agree that Facebook leaves much to be desired as far as design and layout, but it is a tad more mature and now I don't get creepy messages from men I have never seen in my entire life. Maybe it's cause I am going to be 26 in two weeks or maybe I was inspired by Drew Barrymore's character in "He's Just Not That Into You," but either way, that strange land known as the myspace is no longer a land I will journey to.

You're fired!

So I got laid off on Friday from my full time job.  I did not see it coming and it sucks.

I let myself be bummed about it on Friday but it was kind of hard cause my Mom took me to get a latte and bought me some vintage shoes at the thrift store. Then later that night we had hot dogs for dinner and Sam, Rachel, Daniel and Mom and Dad and I all went to the Block to see Race toWitch Mountain, which was pretty good for a kids movie. 

I am helping my Dad with some production stuff and working a few hours a week at Anthropologie, but other than that I have to find SOMETHING!

I sat by the pool today, so that was nice. But I would like another full time job so I can continue living my life and trying to get out of the whole of student loan debt that I have.

Hit me up if you know of anyone who is hiring!

This picture is just inspiring for me and hopefully for you.

no, goodbye

I make a bazillion calls every day and have noticed a fairly strong pet peeve of mine.

When you are finished a phone call, don't say buh-bye. Just say bye, or goodbye.

That's it. Buh-bye sounds so bourgeois .

That's it for this Friday. Back with a vengeance on Monday!
