Who is doing their PR!?

OMG, I have just discovered the funniest thing EVER. Last Sunday was a beautiful Spring day here in Birmingham so a couple of friends and I decided to go somewhere we could have lunch outside. We decided to try the new Dairy Queen because they have tables outside in the sunshine. It was lovely and nice blah blah blah. Fastforward to this morning with me cleaning out my purse where I discover the receipt in my wallet. It is then that I notice the slogan at the top. Printed at the top is "Try Birmingham's Best Salads. Let us toss your's today!" HAHAHAHAHA Are you freaking kidding me!? Who in the HELL approved this advertising!?

Better

Wow, I am feeling so much better these days. Well not physically cause I've got some kinda sinus/cold funk. But emotionally I am SO much better. I don't really know how to explain it because I don't know what happened I just know I'm better. Christmas was good, family was awesome.

New Year's Eve was not so fun. I got all dressed up and looked awesome if I do say so myself. Bitch #1, Awesome Guy, Friend, and I went to dinner at Cheesecake Factory. That was ok until these two other girls that I'm not too fond of showed up. And Awesome Guy said it's obvious when I'm around girls I don't like because I get very quiet so apparently I didn't do a lot of talking during dinner. I really don't have any reason to dislike these girls. One of them is pretty nice actually, we've hung out a couple of times. And I've come to the conclusion that it's not that I dislike the other one it's that I'm jealous of her. And although it's hard to see it sometimes there is a difference between hate and jealousy. I'm jealous of her because Friend wants her. She is to him what he is to me. Something you want but you'll never have. I'm so not in that place of "wanting him" anymore but sometimes it's still hard to see how much he likes her. She's leading him on and on. I think this is what keeps him excited. I suppose as humans we're all about the hunt, the chase. Anyway, I ended up getting intoxicated and spending the countdown to midnight locked in a bathroom stall just wishing it would be over already. We left soon there after and as soon as we got in the car the tears started flowing. I'm not sure why I was crying although I'm pretty sure it was the couple of shots of Petrone I had earlier in the evening. Tequila always does that to me, looks like I would learn my lesson!

As cheesy as it sounds though I feel like I washed something away with those tears. It's like I realized at midnight how unhappy I was with the whole previous year and the way my life was going and I hated it and myself. But the next morning it felt like I woke up with a clear head. I'm taking on the philosophy "Let Go" for this new year. I've held on to so much shit that does nothing but bring me pain and sadness and I'm tired of it. So I'm letting it go. In fact I saw the girl that Friend wants so badly out last night and I was so sweet to her I swear there was sugar dripping off my tongue. I mean, there is absolutely no reason for me to hate her or be jealous of her. He wants her not me: that's not her fault, that's not my fault, and it's not his fault it just is so I have to LET GO. I hope that this feeling will last. I know me and I know I'll have mood swings I just hope I'll be able to stay focused on changing the things in my life that bring me down.

Not to blow my own horn but toot toot

Guess who made an 'A' in Human Biology!? That's right, ME! It seems like only yesterday that I was writing about dreading the beginning of this class and now it's over. I loved my teacher and truly enjoyed the class. I'm not sure what I'll take next semester, there really isn't anything being offered that I need. But I'm also afraid to stop for fear I might not want to get started again. But for a few days I'm just going to relish my accomplishment.

Blah

am. so. tired.....wow I have to stop having such long Thursday nights. I've gotten in a bad habit of starting my weekends on Thursday nights. When I was in college that was fine, but now? Not so much. I'm sitting here like a zombie just waiting for lunch time. Oh well at least it was fun :) Sometimes not getting much sleep isn't such a bad thing. If what you're awake for is fun it's ok. And oh boy was it fun!

I'm having a really hard time getting in the Christmas spirit. It's just escaping me somehow. And that makes me sad. Christmas used to be my most favorite time of the year. I know what will happen, I'll catch the spirit on Christmas Eve and then it'll be over and I'll be depressed cause it's over. We're putting up the Christmas tree tonight so maybe that will help a little bit, I sure hope so! Maybe I should watch a Hallmark movie or something.......do those commercials kill everyone else like they do me? I mean how can they fit something into 30 seconds that makes me cry that much? It just doesn't seem possible! Well everybody have a great weekend!

It's Official!

I'm in love! With Will Hoge! I got Bitch#2 tickets to see Will whom she already loves at the Workplay Theatre this past Saturday night. She turned me on to his music a couple of months ago and while I've really enjoyed listening to it nothing could prepare me to see him live. It was such an awesome show! It was just so obvious that he, and the whole band, were enjoying themselves. And I can't even begin to scratch the surface of his hotness YUMMY! I can't wait until he comes back to Birmingham because I will definitely be there.
