seriously (redux).

Oh. My. God.

I apparently never learned this skill, so how do you deflect people who are aggressively trying to be your friend? I tried being a friend to these two people, but after a couple months, I have realized that they are completely annoying. It's not like me to feel this way, but a guy can only take so much repetitive texting and constant Facebook IMs. And I can only turn down so many invitations to hang out. No, I don't want to. I don't have the extra money or time or patience for you. I will spend that money and time for people who mean something to me, but I barely know you. Leave me alone.

Ugh! I'm such a lame-o-saurus because I don't know how to turn people away. I just deal with it for the time being, then complain about it on my blog. If I had super powers, I would probably teleport these people to.. gosh, I don't know, somewhere random like Reykjavik or the Falkland Islands or Truth or Consequences. And I would take away their cell phones and computers. And teleport them into the sun.

One night, and one more time

Work and life are still going good. Friday was the first bad(ish) day I've had. I was really confused about a lot of stuff I had to do, and I didn't feel good. By the end of the day I felt fine though. This weekend I had planned on getting a tattoo to cover up my stars tat, but the parlor was all booked up today, and the guy there told me my idea wouldn't really work well for the cover-up.. so I'm back to the drawing board. Eh, oh well. That's kind of a frivolous expense right now.

So, Amanda gave me the last Fall Out Boy cd.. I am loving to a ridiculous extent. People can say what they want about them, they're "posers" or "whiny emo kids," but in the end, it's about how the music makes you feel, and the music makes me feel AWESOME.

In addition to Cheez-Its, I have discovered I have an addiction to mac'n'cheese with chicken and salsa or Rotel in it. YUM. I could probably eat it once a week.

I don't know anything interesting these days.

To and fro, hither and thither

It's funny. I started this blog in anticipation of having a long job-search process. I thought, "It would be cool to chronicle my job search, because when I finally do get a job I can look back and admire the process and progress." Of course, life threw me a curveball and gave me a job even before I had quit the last one. Kudos, life. You rock. I'm thoroughly enjoying my new job. There's a lot to learn and a lot to keep up with, but I feel like it's all working out for the best, even though my paycheck is a little smaller.

I came home to Mayfield this weekend, and it's been great every single minute. I had dinner with Mom at Los Amigos on Friday, lunch with Grandma at Hill's on Saturday (GOD I missed me some good barbecue!), drove Mom to Paducah Saturday afternoon, then hung out with Denham and his girl on Saturday night. And this afternoon I'm going over to Adam and Amanda's for lunch/dinner, yeah!!. It's been great. The best part? I don't have that awful, sick, sinking feeling of dread about it being Sunday that I used to have. It's amazing how much better I feel about life.

Also, I've been doing a little planning! VACATION planning, that is. I'm taking a trip down to Florida the last week of April with Kelly and Rachel. The more strategizing and discount-hunting I do for this vacation, the more excited about it I get. It'll be so nice to just relax for once!

Let's just sum this up. Life is good good good, great great great.

seriously.

Some people in my life (or trying to insert themselves into it) are just so annoying! GOD!!!

le jour premiere

So.. today was my first day at Holly Hill. I have to say I really liked it! It FLEW by. I have 9 kids on my caseload.. and apparently we're only allowed to have 12. Um, 12!? That's amazing. I'm so freaking happy about that. Plus I've been talking to my boss about how to recruit new foster parents.. I tossed some ideas to her today and she seemed pretty impressed. So either she has low standards, or I had a great first day. :D

New Beginnings

Tomorrow is my first day at my new job. I ironed my shirts (found out that two of them I just bought are either permanently stained or ripped), cooked myself a nice dinner, got out my paperwork for my I-9, and took a nap. In.. the reverse order of that. Tomorrow morning I'm going to get up, cook myself a nice breakfast, clean up my car a little bit, pack a gym bag, and head out for new frontiers. I'm excited about this new chapter, and a little nervous, but I think everything will be okay. It's just a matter of remaining confident and positive. I really want to throw myself into this job and learn how to be good at it, which is pretty much the opposite of how I felt for DCBS.

I have been hungry like CRAZY lately. I ate 4 whole meals yesterday. I mean.. what the heck!? And I ate at Ruby Tuesday today. Holy cow, it was ridiculously amazing. I am a huge fan of the Boston Bleu burger and the salad bar. Yum yum yum. I have been super happy today and now it's time for bed. :)
