Ugly

It's Friday! I made it through week 2 at the new job! It's a short day since I will be leaving early to attend Stephen's nephew's wedding. I found a dress yesterday. It's not the cutest dress in the world...but it makes the boobs look good! It takes the emphasis off the tummy! =)
I think I can make it work. I'm going to try and get a haircut to make my hair look a little less like Medusa. I've been really down on my looks lately...I don't feel my usual HOT self! hahaha! I need a day to beautify myself. I need professional help! It's time for an extreme makeover!

A better day

I'm feeling less blue today...no particular reason - I guess I'm tired of this gray cloud over my head and tired of looking back...so forward here I go!

The Blues

I am so depressed & no matter what I do I still can't shake "The Blues". It's the start of week 2 at the new job & I've still had no formal training! It's frustrating just sitting here staring at a blank screen. The upstairs tenants are once again blaring the same Tupac song & I found out we're infested with cucarachas. I'm sorry to complain but it's better said here then to bombard unsuspecting listeners with my venting. You - my dear blog readers, come here with the purpose of hearing me vent. haha! I heard that we'll be working late hours which dosn't make any sense to me because I thought 6pm WAS late!!! It's Monday & I'm grumpy. I apologize.

In other news...my parent's semi-surpise anniversary party was a success! It was alot of work but it was well worth it. I hope they enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed planning it. They deserved something nice and I tried to make it as nice as I could on limited funds. My previous event experience has made me an expert on putting an event together with limited funds. I love the challenge!

Friday is Stephen's nephew's wedding and I need a dress. I'm still too fat for the teeny tiny green dress I bought so I have to buy something cheap & flattering...now that's a challenge! Weddings and trying to feel pretty in a dress is probably adding to my blues!

Where did my blog go?

Oh My God! My last blog post dissapeared into blog limbo. I am so aggravated today you would think I was PMSing or something! Every little thing seems to be going wrong. It's one of those Murphy's Law days! I need to get out of this office before I go insane! My first week at the new job has seemed endless. Although I must say that everyday has been better than the last & I'm feeling a little more at home. I think I will be okay here...it's just going to take time to feel 100% comfortable. It's not a position I see myself in forever but it's my foot into the museum world. There's going to be ups & downs in the process of learning this new job but I'll be okay. I am glad that the week is winding down and I will literally jump for joy as soon as I am able to walk out of here. I am going to kick up my heels and sing The Smiths song that has been the soundtrack to my life this week:

I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
In my life Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I live or die ?

Man, I am in serious need of some good news, a vacation or even a good belly laugh! Someone cheer me up! My rants must be depressing my loyal blog readers! Are there any of you out there? Hellooooooo??? Anyone out there???

Check out the picture above. It's by one of my MySpace artist buds. She is so awesome! It's me having one of my usual dreams/nightmares. =) I want the print!!! I am backed up of things I need to buy for myself. I'm deprived! One more week until payday & then I'll treat myself. =)

Day 3

Today is Day 3 at the new job. I'm here 30 minutes early again despite stopping at Starbucks & the bank...Being here early makes the 9 hour day seem endless. Yesterday was a little better despite a rough morning. I'm hoping that today I get some work to do so I'm actually busy! Imagine me wanting to be busy at work! It's THAT boring! I am really missing my daily walks, long lunches & hanging with the girls at UW. I'm still very sad but there was just no going back...My life seems worlds away from what it was a month ago. It's so wierd...not bad...just different. It's hard accepting some of the changes...Life goes on & I'm adapting the best I can.

Things are good otherwise. Greg, Jenn & Diana were over last night. It was nice to have them over. I made Costco lasagne & we creeped eachother out by having a lovely conversation about dead bodies & morgues. haha! Luckily I avoided nightmares or atleast I can't remember having any.

Tonight I want to go home, take a shower, put on my PJs, eat cereal & watch TV with my honey pie. In just a little over 9 hours my dream will be reality! Yah!!!

New Job

Today is my first day at the "new job". It's been long & stressful & I'm ready to go home...The hours stink. It's 5:45 & I'm still here! It's not all bad though...first days are always tough. It's lonely...I miss my girls at UW. I want to go home...
