Here's a new post

As opposed to, say, an old post. Anyway, I am currently writing this on my mother's computer and watching a strange ad on the television. I have to go to work this afternoon, which is a bit of a bummer because I'd rather hang with the parents, who are out visiting this weekend. I odn't really have much to say, so I guess I won't waste time saying nothing.

Oh well

I know I don't write that much anymore, and I'm just terribly sorry. Not that anyone reads this anymore to care... sniffle, sniffle. I don't currently have internet at my apartment, which probably inhibits such communications, but that will all change on Wednesday. Yes! So that's going to be cool. I was getting on a couple of times on an unguarded wireless network from some surrounding apartment, but they have since passworded it, so oh well.

Let's see... work is fine. Best Buy in the mornings and Barnes and Noble in the evenings. I'm making ends meet... sort of. I mean, I've just added a car insurance payment, so that's another thing to put in my budget. I think I got a pretty good deal for the coverage I'm getting and the fact that I had an accident just last December. So that's nice to have that taken care of, now being officially on my own policy as opposed to piggybacking with my parents. Let's see, sometimes I work 13 hour days, which is only difficult because both jobs are retail, and that's hard being on one's feet that long in a given day. I can't complain, however, because, given that I do work such long days, I also still manage to get whole days off, as opposed to my whole week being littered with little shifts. Anyway, the apartment is fine. Those of you who saw my pictures on Ringo will know that the whole thing was photographed in three pics. It's nice, though, to have my own place. I slept over at my sister's house last night because my poor car is in the shop getting it's transmission rebuilt/replaced. Poor thing. Poor me.

My parents are coming out this week. Actually, my mom is coming tomorrow night and my dad, this weekend. I'm so excited. It will be a nice change of pace and such. Hopefully we can do some fun stuff.

The next exciting thing on my agenda will be Janelle's wedding, whenever that happens to be. I've been excited about that since, well, forever it seems. I wish I could get off for two weeks. Well, I probably could get off for two weeks, but I don't think I could handle two weeks without paychecks. Bummer how that works these days. I hate having to be financially responsible.

As far as what's going through my head these days... well, I'm making it. I miss Whitestone a whole heck of a lot these days. Probably because I don't really have much else to occupy my thoughts. Just my diet and missing Alaska. I swore I was going to get through this, and so far I'm making it. It helps that the weeks just seem to melt by. I can't believe it's almost June. June, folks! It feels like just a few weeks ago I was thinking that it was crazy that it was April already. Cripes!

Speaking of diet, yes folks, you all would be proud. I have officially lost 6 lbs so far. One part of me wants to be really skeptical about it, but hey, 6 lbs are 6 lbs. Honestly! Maybe I can surprise everyone by being skinny when I come up for the wedding. We'll see, hey?

I think that this is by far long enough. Once again, drop me a line or give me a call or just let me know you all are still alive.
