    what a week.
    3 headaches
    2 sleepless nights
    1 fever blister
    later...

    i decided to quit my job. i did it today. i hate putting in my two weeks! it is such a horrible feeling... its a good thing i never had to dump someone. i don't think i could go through with it. it's just a big fat
    NO
    and i'm so bad at saying no.

    but other than all that stuff, Thanksgiving was great. I don't have any pictures because i'm totally slack.

    its so crazy how fast live moves and then sometimes how slow it goes.
    paul mitchell is raising tuition, so we decided to get on that train while it was a lower rate. so i think I'm going in January. How did this happen? I just need a minute.

    i went from toying with the idea to finding out an ex-manager is now working in admissions there to randomly taking an unofficial tour with her to saving, saving, working, saving to quiting my job and going in a month.
    Parents, i know you are reading this and think i am crazy. i feel crazy.

    ps-why do i love the movie Red Eye??

  •  ugh. kick in caffeine. and sun, come OUT would you? i can't take any more gloom.
    i think i'm cranky.
    i barely slept last night. i had awful dreams that seemed real. i was a thirty five year old mom in a cave with a killer trying to get my son. and the killer kept calling my cell phone.

     two things i hate. killers and cell phones.

    work was not good. i'm trying to be thankful. after all, it is that time of year.

    lately i have been reading cheesy Christian novels...one a day. like the vitamin.

    my car is in the shop. but that's not a big deal. i was so cheerful when i described the problem to him. that's one thing about me...even in a funk i will be the nicest customer ever.

    but really. this gloom makes me want to cry.

  • la bon vie

     today is a sweet saturday.  pj's till 3, french toast, finished a book, went jogging with Dan (for the first time! I swallowed my pride...and of course couldn't keep up.)

     i just made a pot of coffee, lit the candle on the mantle and am going to clean the kitchen and make banana bread.

    on a sadder note...i am finally coming to the end of my "emergency fund" of coffee beans that i saved up when i knew my time at starbucks was coming to a close. It lasted six months! Now I am going to have to actually buy beans. boo. and i'm ruined for the good stuff.

    dan just prayed and thanked jesus that we can see colors and have tiny birds in our front yard.

    last night we ate dinner and got all the courses. then we went to see "the blindside" (which apparently is making some liberals mad...another reason to see it...ha, i kid!). it was sold out... so we drove thirty minutes to another theater. the only one not sold out was at 11...so we meandered down to a restaurant/bar and watched the end of the Celtics game and drank fat tire.

    the movie was so good! i know the man next to me (not Dan, on my other side) thought i was going to choke to death on my own snot and tears. I don't know why it moved me so. go see it! and bring tissues.

    Saturday Morning (Snelling, Lauraine)

     ugh. too----much----sugar.

    someone (a hair stylist!) told me today that they liked my hair and i burst out laughing. i haven't  washed it since Saturday ( did i really just admit that?) and my roots have a zipcode of their own. she said she went to school for journalism and then was like, "meh. don't wanna do that. Beauty school!!" and is having a blast. boy, can i relate.
      just 4,000 bucks to go!!

    victorian spice roses are all the sudden blooming in our yard.  in fact, four kinds of roses are blooming today. i can't help but grin when i see them. i always used to say i was a girl that didn't like roses or diamonds. shoot. i love both now.

    all i want to do is fall asleep in a warm bubble bath. that is very dangerous though, so i won't.

    i went to my parents house this past weekend to clear out my childhood room. oh. my. gosh. i seriously kept EVERYTHING. i'm so glad Dan has a had an influence on me (he throws away everything). i wrote poems all the time. bad ones. i wrote stories and even comics! i mostly wrote about models, Hanson, my deep feelings,God and even one about how much I hated Algebra 2!

    im making dan take me to see 'the blindside' on friday. it may be cheesy, but i love cheese. its based on a true story and you can guarantee there will be many, many tears. i love adoption!

    ugh. i basically just drank a bowl of ice cream.
