#18something I think? (187)

My birthday was a ton of fun! Like one of the best I have ever had. It is funny in that almost nothing turned out like I thought it would but it all turned out good. I got this card signed by everyone at work and a few of my favorite customers. It is so amazing I cannot even describe it. Like it I may love it more than Sully. I made some new friends and caught up with some people I have not seen in a while. Got a blast from the past from one person. Not quite sure how I feel about that or what I should do about it. Oh well. Thanks all for the birthday wishes and calls and texts. It meant the world to me.

Today at work I was

• told I looked like Shannon Doherty. I don't know if this is a compliment or not because she is sorta a bitch.
• winked at.
• called short stack and had my head rubbed.
• told 'its a date' when I told a customer I would be able to refill his pop.

BART, BART's bf and I went back to look at the apartment we checked out on Monday. It was still just as cute as before. We got a chance to talk to the landlord who would be living in the downstairs apartment. He was really cool. Had some nice things to say about MI which around here is very rare. Anyway, he is e-mailing us a lease and we'll send in a deposit and VOILA! a place to live next year. It was a lot easier this year than last year (but its still not for sure yet so now I'm all paranoid something wont work out because that is just how I roll). I was going to post some pictures but all my energy just went away so later...

Long time. No post. Lets see...

I tried to post from my new iPod but for some reason it wasn't working. My parents got me an iPod touch for my birthday. So far it is awesome and I love it. I'm thinking of naming it Sully but I'm not sure yet. I'm taking Baby!Bro's advice to spend a few days with it before deciding for sure. 

Flying to Michigan and back to Pittsburgh was just a huge headache. It was just a big bummer.

Turns out I don't have to work friday. One of my BFF volunteered to work it so I wouldn't have to which is sooooo nice of her. So now I have this whole day off and absolutely no idea what to do with it. I will probably just end up bumming around the house but maybe I will think of something to do.

BART and I think we have found a place to live next year. I don't want to jinx it because I love it so so much but I will say it brings back fond memories of our Amsterdam hostel. Oh good times.

I have finally made it to Grand Rapids after an unexpected night in Cleveland. The hotel was really nice but I forgot to take pictures like I told Toi I would. It all worked out and I made it here. The whole thing made my parents decide that I really really need a car out here in Pittsburgh so we shall see.

I am currently hanging at Frances' apartment until she come back from class. And then, I'm not sure what exactly we will do but it should be awesome. Later tonight, I will be dining with MMM. After, I will be heading to Saginaw for a couple of days of family fun including a bowl-a-thon, a baby shower and a belated Easter celebration. Woo!!

I worked yesterday. Then I came home and Buddy had made dinner. It was delightful. We had roasted chicken, rice pilaf and roasted asparagus. For dessert, she made bread pudding. I had never had bread pudding before but it was delicious. She used the pioneer woman's recipe. In fact, I think almost all the recipes from yesterday's dinner were from that website. It was so nice to come home and have dinner waiting for me. 

We hardly ever eat dinner together. We all have such different schedules. I miss it. I really do. Plus, it sucks cooking for just one person and having all those leftovers. And as my grandma told me on the phone this weekend, "When you eat all the time, you really pack on those pounds and thats just not good. Can't wait to see you next weekend!" Oh yes, going home to see my family should be a rocking good time.

One of the many, many things I want for my birthday was a Punchline concert on my birthday. I mean Buddy got one and she isn't even that big of a fan. It was looking pretty slim that I would get one. And then! BART alerted me to their announcement on twitter. It turns out they are doing a show on the 25th which yes is one day after my birthday but! they will be recording the concert for their new DVD and its supposed to include all their greatest hits! So hopefully, they will play The Getaway and it will be awesome.

Hi world!

I do not like the ad at the top of my blog. I'm sure its encoded in the html and I'm sure if I spent enough time messing around with it, I could delete it. But I haven't really had time or energy lately to do that. I just wanted you guys to know that I don't like nor do I want it there.

My Anthropologie dress finally made it to my house. It only took an additional week because someone confused a 2 for a 1 when looking at the zip code. But ya know, I didn't have to make one phone call to get the whole situation corrected so I'm not going to complain. The dress was sorta heavy when I pulled it out of the box but once I put it on, it was pretty comfy. Now I just need to find a bra to wear with it because it was obviously designed by a man who did not think about this problem. 

BART bought us a new shower curtain. Its super cute with a bunch of vertical stripes. I searched all over the Target website to find it but I can't. I would take a picture but that seems like a lot of work at the moment so maybe next time?

Another girl I knew from high school had a baby yesterday. I guess we are just in the age group where more and more people will be having babies or getting married. I don't know but to me, it seems like we just graduated from high school. It really does.

This new layout reminds me of strawberries. It seemed appropriate for the upcoming seasons. I also now desperately want those shoes. They make me happy.

Passover does not make me happy. It started today and boy, oh, boy are some of the people celebrating this holiday CRANKY. I know they can't have flour and have to eat matzo but its really no reason to be absolutely positively miserable. I just keep thinking of all the energy they waste being unhappy. It must be horribly sad and lonely.

Today I was asked if any Jewish boys had invited me to seder. HA HA HA HA...no... I was also told if I played my cards right, I could someday become Jewish. Who knew? I wish I could only be that lucky.

I bought this book yesterday. I plan on reading it during my flights next weekend. I'm 

pretty excited to be reading a history book for fun rather than being forced to for class. 

I have also been struggling to get through this book. Its been about 4 months now and 

I just can't seem to finish it. Hmm...now that I think about it, I have at least 2, possibly 3 books on my bookshelf that I have started and still haven't finished. Maybe I should stop buying new ones and just finish those??

I like this room.

I was informed today that I already have plans for NYE '10. My cousin and his fiancee are getting married that day. So I have almost 2 years to find a date. I think I can do it.

#178

2 things today:

1. I didn't have any weird dreams last night. In fact, I didn't have any so yay!
2. Do you guys think I abandon people? Where is the line between having to do things for yourself and staying behind for those who need you?

#177

I am in a much better mood today. Thanks for putting up with that angsty entry from yesterday.

I was talking with my mom. She seemed upset that I'm only coming home for 4 days. I don't know what she expected. Its not like I am in school and can come home for weeks at a time. It just doesn't work like that anymore. Oh well. I think she will get over it. I guess she will just have to. 

I don't like having the pregnant dream. I dislike it even more when in the dream, I am happy to be pregnant. Its just weird. WEIRD.

I feel like blogging but then I don't. I just want these thoughts to come flowing out and arrange themselves on the monitor. So I can figure out exactly what I want to say, exactly how I feel. Ever since moving here, I haven't minded the uncertainty. In fact, I have welcomed it. But as of right now, I would like a break from it.

God, Toi, I think some of your angst has made its way over to me this week. If I could stop being such a teenager, I think everything would be a ton easier. So yeah, super, awesome, spectacular.
