A Month in ReviewHoly moly it's been a long time since I've updated. For once, I've actually been up to stuff. My sister came and visited for a week from California. 
I've gone back to school and am loving it, but that is the main reason that I am so busy now and never seem to have time for xanga any more. In the aftermath of my car accident, Mike and I have decided to adopt a single car lifestyle for a while so we can concentrate on saving money and paying off debt before we take on car payments and two cars worth of insurance again. The good part is that we have paid off a massive chunk of debt and are on track to be completely credit card debt free by the end of 2009, and we should have our debt in managable enough condition to get a new car by the end of 2008. The bad part is that I have to get up early to take Mike to work every morning (another reason why I'm so busy now and never seem to have time for xanga), and Mike has to rely on rides home from coworkers a lot of the time (almost all of the time). Luckily he works with a lot of really nice people who are eager to help, but unfortunately I don't think they (or Mike and I, for that matter) really realized at first how long this would be necessary. So we might have to figure something else out pretty soon here, because these people don't exactly live next door. I got my first tattoo with money that I got for my 23rd birthday in January. 
The weather has been in constant fluctuation, producing thunderstorms, snowstorms, ice storms, tornado warnings, winter storm warnings, flood warnings, and highs ranging everywhere from 2 to 59, that I can remember. I'm apparently getting old, becuase I've become completely addicted to NPR. I'm also starting to drink a lot of coffee. And I recently got a Dyson for super, super cheap, and Mike and I were both so excited you'd think we'd just won the lottery. 
Mike is seriously going to kill me when he figures out I put that picture up. But, really, you should have seen him with that vaccuum. He wouldn't even let me use it, he wanted to vacuum the whole apartment by himself. I think he might like the Dyson a teensy bit more than he likes me, even. Mike's last single friend finally got engaged, and now Mike has to be a groomsman again. And, as usual, I'm getting sicker and sicker of my job by the day. Again, as usual, it's not my job so much as it is the obnoxious supervisors with authority complexes and chronic laziness, and the retarded white trash coworkers who go around stealing people's money and food and sodas, and eating all over the store and making a mess, and dragging trash bags leaking nine-inch-wide puddles of garbage juice across the entire store, and constantly coming to work in no condition to be working, and getting everyone else in the store collectively punished for all of it. I would give pretty much anything to switch to working part time and going to school full time right now. Hopefully sometime in the future that will actually be feasible, but it certainly isn't yet. And I guess that's about it. Hopefully I'll be updating again sometime before it's been another month. |
