Happy new years, everyone. I know I haven’t said or posted much aside from my instagram photos, so thought I’d go ahead and do a flash update on what’s been goin on…

- So happy 2011 is over. A lot of shit happened: new job, break ups to make ups to just friends, got fired, got rehired at my old job, got to know a fine individual :), witnessed a wedding, witnessed a proposal, went to the snow and rode a bike for the first time, mom’s health, then my dad’s health, totaled my car, working slave shifts to never see my friends lol. Just to name a few. 2011, you are done and done! Thank you friends and lover that made my year, but 2012 I will be better, stronger, and hopefully less broke! LOL
(seriously tho!)

- Bout to turn the not-so-special big 27. Fuck, Idno where the time goes but I swear I’m still 23. Hahaha. Probably not the way my liver is tho! Twenty seven tho… What to do? Stay and home and be a hermit? Let’s!!

- Taking a sweet getaway vacation to San Francisco. God, how I love that city!! I can’t wait to experience it with Marc. :) Shopping and crab chowder, nuff said!

Uhm, my mind just went blank, and it’s 3:45am. Time to KTFO. Peacies, my tumblr heads.

I haven’t done an update since February, so here’s my life since then, in a nutshell.

- VEGAS 3x in two months is draining. I told myself I wouldn’t go to Vegas that much starting this year.. and there I did it.. I’ve got 4 notches in my belt for this year so far. But a weekend getaway with the boyfriend, a girls’ weekend out for the bride to be, and my ninja’s birthday.. always a good time.  That last trip however was just that… a fuckin trip.  Ain’t ever been that mad at someone in a LONG time. But whatever.. dust that off my shoulder..

- Cat & Masi’s wedding: Incredibly heart warming. Guess I’m at that sick age where people are truly starting to settle down.. kids or marriage.. It’s nuts, but it is still sweet to witness such a happy moment.  I did tear up, I did feel warm (and not only from the intense heat of the IE), and it was a joyous moment in all of our lives. (Let me have my girly moment in this post, ok!)

- Love life: Marc and I are definitely in the beginning stages of our real relationship.. Where you really are learning about each other and how any and everything really affect us individually and as a whole.  It’s quite frustrating actually.  I miss honeymooning it, but I do love the guy, I do want to see us past all the rough patches. Other than that, his birthday is coming up, and I hope it’s good, memorable, and with the least amount of a hangover possible. Cus Lord knows my body can’t take anymore.

- Since February, I got fired from my job at Dick’s Sporting Goods, which was very rough. Wasn’t working for a month, and damn did that strain me.  I was bored with too much time on my hands.  Everyday, apply here, send resume there, call to inquire, have lunch or drinks with a friend I haven’t seen in awhile just to stay sane.. until finally I had word of an open spot at my old workplace.  So since April, I been back at Champs Sports.. I took my jersey and shorts out of retirement.  Back to work, and man have I been working a lot lately.  This week was my first 40+ hour week in six months.  But with my sister breathing down my neck about finances, my own expenses, and my boyfriend’s birthday coming up, I’ve put in a request for more and more OT. I can fucking sleep later.

- As far as what seemed to be a for-ever-going battle with being friends, not being friends, being enemies, still in love, can’t handle this, don’t want that, with my ex, we are finally, and definitely just friends, and good friends at that.  Just talked about it all, and I’m happy, he knows I’m happy and is starting to move on. I think this is the most sane and normal we’ve been with the least amount of temptation. The line is drawn, definite, and has not been crossed. I’m glad he’s still there for me, and that I have the chance to be there for him.

- I’ve felt quite distant from my friends.  My sisterfriends are in NY, my best friend since Kindergarten and I haven’t talked or seen each other in what seems to be a year?, I don’t like being a 3rd wheel in the bromancing that occurs when my boyfriend and friends get together, and then factor in my odd work schedule and that I live about 25 minutes from everyone else.  I possibly am too boring to just get up, get ready, and drive to party and kick it.  What a bust.  Or maybe it’s a phase?  Whatever.. my bed will be my best friend.  LOL

That is all.  I think.  I tell you, nothing excited has happened since February.  Or my memory has failed me.  Til next time.  Play safe, buddies.

(Quick Update)

-Just celebrated my 26th birthday. Fucking love my friends and family for coming out and making my weekend. I was showered with Disney AND Hello Kitty treats.  Ate my steak and had a little too much Patron. But another good birthday, indeed.

-Back to school.  Digital Photography and Watercolors.  6 hours each sitting, I go bored and hungry.  Lol.  I’m going to need to bring an extra iPod so my iPhone won’t die on me. hahhaa.

-Work has been getting MUCH much better. *PHEW. I was really starting to think I made a bad decision in staying, but it has been less stressful. :)

-I’m a happy girl with a little bit of heartache.

-But my goodness, it’s February.. time to get some ink, bitches.
