I like that i have many readers of my blog, but not one of you "pals" actually "follow" me on here. yep, i'm calling all of you out. Alana, i'm impressed you even came on here... the next step is finally getting a facebook! haha.

So i went back to good ol' ypsi/a2 this past week for what sounded like 4 or 5 days, but was really 3. i left tuesday night from La Guardia and landed in Detroit at midnight. Text of the night: I'm halfway home.. if you count Atlanta as being halfway. HAHA. yea, so weird i flew down to ATL first, but no complaints on the frequent flyer miles... well, until I just tried to see how much it would cost to fly from LGA to BOS. yea, airtran doesn't fly to BOS and I really thought they did :( so woohoo for the 3,000 miles that i won't be adding to any time in the near future.

i don't feel like i had time to see anyone, including my family. what a bummer. i'm totally kicking myself for that. Crashed at brit's on tues to wake up before the sun to work on brit's jeep. we're handy chicks. we may have missed progressive beers, but we both lasted all day and night!! unlike last year. oops. a couple creepsters flocked to me. it was weird. the guy who told the man with the microphone to say i'm hot was quite hilarious and way better than the guy who wanted to do a full on photoshoot with me. WTF?! kudos to me for texting steve to come save me. haha. oh, i can't forget to mention the BEST reuben i've ever had.. thanks, Matty!

Thursday was my roomies defense for her thesis. It was so funny and great to live in NYC with her and her husband, for them to head to a2, and for me to be there the next day then see them for the thesis. :) that was quite a loaded sentence. not seeing them for 2 days and i was already missing them. how cute, right? After the thesis, most the attendees (a group of our pals) then went over to Tower Inn for lunch. lunch ended up being 3 hrs, but it was so great to see everyone and catch up. i saw alice in wonderland too on thursday :) 3d is cool, but not as crazy cool as i thought it would be. i really like the movie, but i thought johnny depp looked like elijah wood in the face. haha. you can't deny that!

Friday i saw my dr and spent the entire day--and i mean the entire day, 9am-10pm-- with my ma :) i missed her way more than i thought. i really wish we could've spent more time together.. that woman is a riot. she redid the house, because that's what she does when i move, and HAD to show me all the stores she bought the stuff from and all the things she was still planning to buy. haha. we had a great day together and we even ran into my bff dorothy and my little niece. Mari was showing me her dancing skills to Beyonce's "single ladies." yep, she's adorable. this time she called me "boo", which is way better than when she called me a "bitch" a couple months ago. mind you she was about 15 months when she let the b word slip. i blame this on dorther, can, and i always referring to dorothy as "bitch" when pretending to be mari. haha.

Saturday i packed all day. my ma made yummy pancakes with strawberries AND blueberries in them. YUM!

yea, so i didn't do too much or see too many people, it was such a rushed trip. i'm glad i got to see brit, trav, matty, alana, amanda and kevin, steve, and eva :) i'm hoping to have some extra $$ to go back to detroit/a2 in May. i'm extremely broke after maxing out my CC for this trip and not working much at all at my paid job :( :( yep, i can fly to MI but i have no clue how i'm going to pay a large chunk of my bills this month. :( didn't get to see my dad either. my understanding is that he thinks i'm coming home this week. i guess the text that said, 'hey i'll be home tomorrow through saturday,' meant this week and not last week. ugh.

my brother is 28 now. yikes!
and alice in wonderland had to mention how alice should be getting married. she's turning 20 soon and her face isn't going to stay pretty forever. FML. long story... haha. i love how people say things just to get me riled up. haha.

playing Catchphrase at the bar was hilarious. "britney, what's something i don't have a lot of?" and without missing a beat she replied, "money." <3

tomorrow is my trial run with a company i may work for in Boston. i'm excited. i still want the other job i applied for, but i'll definitely take this one... well, as long as i like it there tomorrow and if they like me. HAHA. i wonder if i'm getting paid for this.

So it's now Tuesday.. i began writing this on Sunday.

the trial run went very well. i definitely dig the boutique atmosphere. i still would enjoy working for BI though.. really bad. yesterday Saks called me to chat. yep, just to chat. no interview just yet. the woman did say, "so the pay is hourly, and it's $19/hr. does that sound ok?" YES! it's sounds wonderful to me. i would enjoy making 40Gs/yr from my first big girl job. heck, and room to grow my career too?! i'd be totally game. ugh... so that means if they want to interview me, i'm going to have to take some form of transportation back down to nyc very soon. gah. maybe i shouldn't have booked my train ticket last night. well, we'll see if they even call me back.

i'm catching a cold :( and i don't plan on taking medicine for it. no more medicine for me. when i get to boston, i'm adapting a new lifestyle. i'm going to attempt to be between a vegetarian and a vegan. yes, i believe there's an in between. haha. no more meat and no more dairy. yes, that equals vegan, but i think i'm still going to enjoy a few things i really like. idk, i think that if i go out to dinner, i can't say no to chips and salsa and frankly, i really don't want too... or dessert... and sometimes i might want to go to Bagel Rising, even if my fave bagel/sandwich is a cheddar bagel with turkey and cranberry goodness. hmm, but i won't get turkey. idk. i think a strict vegan lifestyle would be hard for me, but i'd like to be more on the vegan side than the vegetarian side. we'll see how it goes. i hope i can stick to this. i'm reading a couple books on leading a healthy lifestyle and it really has me thinking. i already eat organic everything i can afford and lots of whole grains and i'd like to take it further. the direct quotes from slaughter houses didn't help. i'm by no means an animal person. i'm like cruella deville, but i don't even like animal fur.. gross. yea, i don't enjoy animals whatsoever and those quotes made me sick. i've heard about all the animal rights videos, but i never cared... and like i said, i'm not doing it for the animals, i'm doing it because packaging up meat from a very ill animal and your boss stamping it with a USDA stamp after the inspector leaves is not cool. there's more to it all and my decision, but i won't go off on a complete rant. with all the health problems i have, i just know i need to live better. i do pretty well already, but i have been slacking since i moved to nyc.

ok.. that's all for now. i'm going out to dinner with some co-workers :)
