Finally!

After having possibly the worst work week ever & crying twice in the span of two days (note: the worst work week ever), I survived. Hello weekend!

So, I completely got sidetracked after that not so bueno start this week and never got to recap my fantastic weekend. Oh, how easily an unpleasant beginning overshadows some happy memories. And so the fun times began on Friday (of last week, if you're not keeping up) with some quality old roomie time with Dielle and Jennie. We made an attempt to go to a bar, but it's us, so we ended up grabbing food and drinks at BJ's. It was just like old times. I totally miss it. We caught up and made plans for the future. Stay tuned, folks! That's right, Dielle, Jennie and I will be throwing an Apt. 66 party! Well, sort of but not really. You'll find out soon enough ;). Then I had a fun shopping day and yum KBBQ with some of my favorite people on Saturday. And finally closed my weekend off with a "going away" brunch for Abby (and Raymond too) in lovely San Diego! Sometimes I think Gwynn and I aren't allowed to drive together. It's never a good sign when we're trying to look for a restaurant and we have no idea what it's called. Ha! We are fun.

Oh! I totally bought a Wii. It's totally random, I know.

'Til next time!

Horrible

Today was bad. Wait, today is still bad. I wish I could erase it all and start all over. I would do anything to make it better, but I can't. What's worse is no one can make it better. It is what it is. The only thing that can (and should) happen is for me to get yelled at, reprimanded...something, anything.

I just want it to go away...worse day ever.

Blog-worthy Material

So, it's been close to a year since I've written something in this blog of mine. Since it's been so long, I suppose it's time to give this thing a whirl again. Well, that and there are multiple people in my life (a.k.a. my dearest friends) who keep bugging me to update this darn thing already. I guess I don't blame them. The last post was in February 2008 and considering the fact that it'll be February 2009 in 3 months...I think it's time. So here goes... I'll try to keep light and summarize the oohs, aahs and yays and nays.

Where to begin... Oh, so I made it through my first year at the new job. That's right, I made it a whole year and then some (even with all of the tears...literally). I'm glad I toughed it out, though. Apparently things do happen for a reason. I couldn't be happier with where I'm at and I'm not going anywhere! Well, unless something more enticing comes along, then I shall see. ;) But really, I like what I do. After all of the, "omg, what am I going to do with my life" panic ridden moments, I think I've found a keeper.

And then to one of my biggest highlights of the year and really just a goal of mine...I am officially a homeowner! That's right, I have moved and I have moved to the place I fell in love with from day 1. I didn't think it would happen, but believe me, it wasn't walk in the park...there was a lot of worry and crying involved. And you know what, the best part is the fact that I wouldn't trade it for the world. This is the biggest thing that I've done and more importantly, the biggest thing that I've done for myself that I can cross off that 5 year plan of mine. It's still scary, but it's an amazingly good scary. So, if you're ever in the Downtown Long Beach area, holler! :)

This has just been an amazing year. I can go on and on about it. For all of my ups, I know I've had my share of downs, but it's hard to see it and you know, I'm happy that I am not dwelling on the negativity. I can honestly say that I've grown up. I've learned so much about myself with what I want in life and who I am as a person. It's an unbelievable feeling. And I'm not the only one growing up. It's crazy to see how everyone else around me is doing everything they want and then some. I love it and everything about it.

But don't you worry, this isn't the last of it. It's only the beginning.

'Til next time!
