Today was a much better day.
If it was a repeat of yesterday, I think I would have lost it.

Hot and Cold
ME: Come pick me up in like 15 minutes
ME: Never mind. 30 minutes.
ME: Could it be 45 minutes now?
DAD: YOU’RE HOT AND YOU’RE COLD YOU’RE YES AND YOU’RE NO YOU’RE IN AND YOUR OUT YOURE UP AND YOU’RE DOWN.
Did you ever have a day...
Where you just felt like the shit was beat out of you? Without going into too many details, I am having HUGE issues with my assistant manager. Out of nowhere she has become very angry - and it is making for an incredibly tense work situation. The headache I had today… the bad interviews I had today… the drama-rama to an extreme… It was a bad, bad, bad day. I was exhausted from...
This is why I hate online dating. (reblogged)
I had a great date a couple weeks ago. So great, in fact, that I may or may not have called my parents to let them know that I quite potentially could have met my future husband (whoa whoa...let's not get ahead of ourselves here...). More than every sign imaginable pointed to mutual enjoyment of company and it was pretty obvious that there would be more dates in the future. Not even 24 hours post date, this is the brief follow-up text conversation to let this guy know when I was available for our next date (because he asked...)*
Em: Hey - I'm available Wednesday or Friday if that works for you
Guy: I really want to but I'm moving forward with someone else. If things don't work or I change my mind, I might contact you. That's the best I can do right now.
Em: I won't hold my breath
Guy: I'm sorry. I think you're awesome but I just want to be honest.
Here are my thoughts on this dialogue..1) The dude was clearly either IN a relationship or at the very least, about to embark on one but wanted to meet a few more ladies JUST to make sure there wasn't something better out there. I'd really hate to be the chick he's "moving forward with". 2) "I might contact you". Oh, really? You might? That's OK, please don't. 3) Yes, you're right Guy - I am awesome...and fun (references furnished upon request) 4) And guys say that we're the ones that are complicated?
Game over or as Kathleen would say " DELETE DELETE DELETE!"

Today was a day...
…of mixed emotions. At one point today I thought - I cannot WAIT to get the eff out of here and move to Arizona. OVER it. And at another point today - I won’t lie. I also thought, MAN. I am going to miss THIS. I really like this, and the people I do this with, and the fact that I am good at THIS. I actually feel like an adult - like I have my shit together. For once. And...
Such a long day.
Forgot my blow dryer - went to work with wet hair.
So busy at work.
So not mentally awake.
Incredibly disheartening visit to the hospital to see my Grandma.
Now at the gym, hoping my shins can stay pain free long enough for me to get a workout in.
Blah Monday. Just… Blah.

And then. There was that time.
That the lady at my sister’s baby shower came up to me and said, “Seems like everyone’s getting pregnant these days! Look at you!” Except. I wasn’t pregnant. It was just a high-waisted dress. Annnnnnnnnd if that isn’t enough to kick my butt back into gear tomorrow, I don’t know what is.
Sometimes
I wonder how I came from such overly conservative parents.
Their… Blatant hate & lack of tolerance for other lifestyles is just so sickening.
Love is love is love is love.
Why is that so hard to grasp?

So...
Any advice on shin splints?
You've GOT to be Kidding Me.
Remember how scared I was the first time I tried spin? Remember how far I made myself drive - week after week - to make sure I got into the best spin class ever so I would actually like it and stick with it? Remember how it became the second best part of my week (next to Hip Hop of course!) and how much I really looked forward to it — how much better I felt after the class?
I was really...
Well.
The two cups if coffee I chugged around 6 pm sure are coming back to bite me in the ass now.
Monday morning, you’re gonna hurt.

Even after a super frustrating day..
Hip Hop makes me all happy again.
Monday.
Today was so busy I had a headache. I didn’t even remember to eat lunch. So many things to get done - and most of them done, thankfully, except for driving to a coworker’s house to train for my part time job. That had to be rescheduled, because the theater sucked every moment out of my work day. Then I had spin class with my assistant manager, before we headed to a local restaurant/bar...
And just like that...
…it’s Monday again.

Perspective
Grandma: I was once 185 pounds! My golly I can’t imagine being that fat again. Me: (awkward) Mmmhmm. Grandma: I mean, can you imagine? 185. Me: Yeah that’s crazy. Grandma: I don’t know how I did anything - how I got around that heavy! One person’s most embarrassing weight is someone else’s goal, or mile-marker.

Reading Hurts
treesquirrrel:
That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.
I AM LAUGHING SO HARD RIGHT NOW IT HURTS.
