2 posts from March 2009

Busy and broke. That is my life. I am so tired of being poor. I know finishing college is a must, but it is so hard to live off of savings. I'm thinking that the answer may be getting a new job. I hate the idea of getting yet another job in the restaurant industry. This one is supposed to be my last restaurant endeavor. Hopefully it is...

Jon is in New York for five days (sad face) so during this week I plan on occupying my time with Taylor May Linden (my new niece!!!!), working out, diet plan, and school. I have drastically fallen off both my diet plan and my workout regimen. Sarah's weight watchers is inspiring me to get back on it. I figure I can lose 7 to 10lbs by my birthday if I work at it. I would love to sport my new toned body at the lake on my 29th bday.

It's all I can do to be responsible right now and not spend every waking moment with Taylor.

Seeing her born is one of the major highlights of my life. It has changed me. No longer am I super duper zen about furture children. Now I hope to have one. I still maintain that life is great no matter what. If I am never able to have a kid, I'll still be happy. But it's preferable. That's a fairly dramatic swing for me.

Over the last two years, I have watched this blog go from a vaguely interesting account of being single for the first time at 27, to an online journal, to swill. I am seriously considering deleting it. It's content, quite frankly, is a bit juvenile. On top of that, if I really want to pursue my writing in the professional sense, this blog could be judged and I wouldn't want that. Oh god...not at all.
I was just thinking about how much has changed over the last two years! March 2007 I was married, about to go to Europe by myself, just put an end to the baby making to begin project "graduate college," I weighed around 140, and I was the AGM of a trendy restaurant. March 2008: Switched from management to bartending, I was in my second semester back at school and really having a hard time balancing my studies with my desire to party, spiritually driven, divorced and happily so, not really dating anyone though still making visits to Dallas to see Brett, oh wait-I did date that Brian guy for 2 seconds but lost interest in him (that's what I did, I lost interest in a couple of weeks usually), I spent a lot of time alone, a lot of time with Sara, a lot of time with friends, a lot of time outside. March 2009: this month I'm feeling pretty good. Feb was difficult with the new puppy and it seems that Jon and I were going through some adjustment periods with each other. All of that seems to be smoothing out. My confidence is back. Anyway-2009 brings a switch in my studies to print journalism-I want to pursue my writing, I am dating a fantastic guy, new puppy, living in a big house with a roomie who I never see....but all this change makes me wonder what will be going on a year from now? hmmmm....

Anyhoo. I think this may be goodbye. I will sleep on it
