Ramblings of My Life

That nap I was gonna catch today…totally didn’t happen. I spent $90 getting my car taken care of (oil change, plus some other stuff) and it would have been $110 but the guy cut me all sorts of deals. He was way awesome. Then I spent about $40 at the grocery store, and another $40 at Tim’s Oriental and Seafood Store, getting junk for everyone that we don’t really need, lol. But I’ve stashed the other $125 in my Belle (yes, fromBeauty and the Beast) piggy bank. My piggy bank is actually more effective than a savings account, because it sits behind my computer, so I can’t see it. That leads me to forgetting I have money in there. So every paycheck, I’ll just stash more money in there, because if it’s on my card, I’ll spend it. That’s the way things are for right now. And I need to save at least $1500 by September, so I can go see Shawn. I also want to have enough money for my credit card. That payment is $50 a month. Not bad for a $2500 limit. 

Since I’m going to see Shawn, I’ve decided to drive. It’s waaaaay cheaper than flying there. Like, $300 cheaper. I’ve done the math (even though I’m kind of bad at it, lol) and had it looked at. The hotel I want to stay at would discount me $116 because I’m staying more than three nights, so the hotel, for a week, is only going to cost $540 total. Plus a cushion of $300 for driving/food (roundtrip). So by having a goal of $1500, I can account for anything that might happen. 

I am really looking forward to this. It’s been 12 years knowing Shawn. I don’t even know what to think about it. So, I’m just going to double check with him about the dates (I’m thinking September 9th through the 15th) and then give the time off request to my job. Yay go me!

This is all I really have to share with my Tumblr family at the moment. I love you all like the day is long!

Hrrmmmm

Today was semi-productive. I helped my mom make Apple Ginger Marmalade! I can’t wait to eat some. It smelled sooooo good. Ginger is good for acid reflux, so that’s good for me. Also, we canned oranges and red pears in a light syrup. So we’ll have some num-nums later. This is one of the many things I love about my mom. She makes all sorts of goodies. She’s planning on making pickles from the cucumbers she’s growing, and we’ve got corn, peas, green beans, beets, onions, and cantaloupe (yuck) growing. I think I’m going to also save up the money and get her the Kitchen Aid all-in-one mixer she wants. Gonna start making our own pasta more. Without the machine it takes a while. Not that I don’t enjoy the work, but it still takes time. 

Other than that, I didn’t do much of anything. Gotta take care of my car tomorrow. Cash check, change oil, grocery store, and maybe a nap. You know us old people, gotta get our daily nap in.

I love you, my people of Tumblr. Remember, if no one else told you they loved you today, I am telling you. Ti amo con tutto il cuore!

Skype!

My Skype is all ready to go and what not! Now that I have this awesome new computer, I can finally use the program. I am happy now. So if anyone wants to Skype, send me a message, and we’ll chat it up. :)

So I’m just firing off a quick little post before I have to start getting ready for work. 

It’s been over a week and no Justin. So I am assuming that he used me for what he wanted, and then stopped associating with me after the fact. But you know what? It’s not that I really mind what he did; it’s how he did it. He could have at least been a fucking man and said, “You know, I don’t want to be with you in a relationship.” THAT is what pissed me off. He just threw me away like garbage. This whole ordeal was like a mash-up between Carrie Underwood’s song “Good Girl,” and Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” This is me, putting this all behind me, and moving on.

On a lighter note, the girls from work have invited me to their next Girls Night. It includes each of us bringing a bottle of wine, and who knows what else. I’ll just focus on work, saving up for trips to Florida, Tennessee, and Michigan, and enjoying my friends.

I think I have “USE ME” stamped on my forehead that only jerks can see.

New boyfriend has been MIA since Wednesday. 

If this is how he wants to get rid of me, it’s pretty lame.

However, if we really are over…I’m cutting off all my hair. Again.

LOL cutting off all my lovely hair makes me happy.

Oh goodness…

So I met a boy…we had a coffee date…and HE PAID! I mean, yeah it was coffee but still it was ridiculous. And we had such a good time. I really like him. We just have such good chemistry. My face still hurts from smiling and laughing so much. After all the stuff I’ve dealt with, from Reese and Shawn, this is so refreshing. 

Justin is just so down to Earth. He meets all the standards that I’ve wanted in a guy. Has plans for his future; has goals; a mode of transportation; and we’re both graduating this month. Plus he’s my age. Which is weird for me. I normally date older guys, but I think this is good.

It’s also a plus that he’s very cute! Super red hair, freckles, just all over adorable. I just got home and hour ago and I already want to see him again.

barnsburntdownnow asked: did you know chet zar has a tumblr ?

I did not! But now I do, so thanks! 

I’m kinda just in between things at the moment. I’m excited that I’m graduating in a couple of weeks, but at the same time, I know my work load will pick up. I love my coworkers, which surprised me. Especially Alex. She’s hilarious! And we just click. I don’t have to pretend to be cool or whatever. 

On a different note, I want to get laid. It’s just been a long ass time, and at this point, I’m considering giving up my morals for one night to fulfill my primal needs. I probably won’t do it though. I’m too busy being a hopeless romantic. :\
