| With all the amazing things going on in the world... |

He's only been in office for 3 days, and already, Obama is keeping campaign promises and doing great things for the world.
Scientists have found proof of true lasting love.
A man born with severe birth defects (due to the mother taking untested drugs for morning sickness), becomes one of the most amazing singers of our time:
And yet I have spent much of the day worrying about my life. I am uncertain about my job, my apartment, and my finances. Let's take those one at a time:
1. Job: I've been with this company for 3 years and am pretty satisfied, especially since I have made some great friends here. However, the company has moved and my commute is now through downtown LA...yuck. Also, my hours have changed and my paycheck has shrunk. Also yuck. I've been looking for something closer to home, with decent hours, but nothing yet. At least I am still employed and make enough to maintain my life, just not enough to save, pay off the rest of my debt, get back to school, and go on all the wild, crazy adventures I have planned in my head.
2. Apartment: Sarah has been a great roommate and the apartment is fairly nice and in a good location, but the landlord sucks and has raised the rent 2x already. Leaving here is not a sad occasion. In fact, on March 1st, if all goes well, I will be moving into Freque's old house, a very cute 3 bedroom, 1 bath, with a huge yard (veggie garden!!!), storage, walking distance to grocery stores, bookstores, and thrift stores, and less than 2 miles to the beach. Rocking! However, Sarah has decided to move back in with her parents which means that I need to find 1-2 more roommates STAT or miss out on this awesome house!
3. Finances: This is pretty much linked to 1 and 2. I need to clear out my clutter & debt and start saving.
Really, these are all great opportunities in disguise.
Other than that, life is fantastic. Last weekend, I celebrated birthdays with Delcy and Andrew and had a blast at both, including running into a very old friend and making a super fun craft project present for Andrew:
It reads: "We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to People Who Raise Lake Trolls" anyone catch the reference?
Also, my fire spinning classes are going great, yesterday (Thursday), I was spinning at the Rose Bowl in the rain under some trees while on a c-7, and a girl walking her dog asked if I compete. I said "no, I just started learning" and she said "wow, I used to compete and you're pretty good". Later that day, after work, Hauk and I went to my old yoga studio for a class and it was exactly what I needed. We ended up staying afterwards and talking to Gwen (the instructor) until almost 11pm.
This weekend, I am super busy with housework and stressing about the above; also pretty bummed about having to miss Unbelted Tourney to work..yuck. Hauk once again saved the day with tickets to LACO for after work. Next weekend, I'm supposed to meet Rob in Avila for camping at the Hot Springs, so hopefully it doesn't rain. If it does, we'll just rent a motel or something and go check out Hearst Castle. He is the constant happy in my life. <3
See, I have wonderful friends, a great boyfriend, am about to move into an awesome house and everything will work out! |
