It's a new Month!!


My weekend was sweet! I went to a charity Sunday drive for the mini club and we raised a lot of money for the wounded warrior/veterans project.

This is my last week at my sucky school. I am so glad to be done with this school year!

I had a fairly insane weekend. Had a date Saturday night that didn't end until Sunday afternoon. Ended up at the casino at 2am. Had another date last night with hot no game guy. He found a bit of game, but I worry he is a bit insecure, seems like his ex did a number on him.

I am happy the Lightning made it to the finals, but my Garth Brooks concert for Saturday night was cancelled :*(.

I had an amazing birthday weekend. I am a bit sun burnt despite wearing sun screen, and exhausted but it will take a lot to get this smile off of my face.
I got to watch the joust from the king's box, and I got put in the stocks (at RenFaire). I got to see J a lot this weekend, and I made a few new friends. I can post a few photos if anyone wants to see them

[quietmind]

Sorry about your concert bl That would make me sad too.

I finally made an appointment with a lawyer today. I've spent almost 4 months in denial about my marriage. Actually, it's been a lot longer than that but he's actually been out of the house for 4 months. It's time for me to move forward.

The air in our office is messed up and I feel like I'm melting!

I'm so sorry. I hear getting a refund and all that goes along with it has been a nightmare.

I too am happy the Lightning won. It's been a long time. We need another banner.

This is the last Monday ever that I have to get up and go into an office. It's pretty crazy. I'm feeling dedicated to getting healthy and excited about all the great changes to come. I think it's gonna be a bug month!

I had a pretty relaxing weekend dog sitting for my friend. I got to catch up on all the Bravo I've been missing.

For those of you who have traveled overseas (mp), did any of you purchase a portable battery charger for your phone or iPad? If so, could you please recommend one because there are so many options on Amazon. I will be charging my phone at night in my hotel room, but I'd like to have some sort of backup just in case.

I have never purchased an extra portable battery charger. If you're going to Europe, make sure you have the appropriate plug adapter!

My weekend was pretty good, drove up to the bay. I am not a big fan of road trips, but this one wasn't so bad. We didn't do much, but it was nice to get away. We did go to a karaoke bar at 2AM on Saturday, that was fun!

pantsoffdanceoff I actually used to do PR for the brand Anker of portable chargers. They are actually pretty great and affordable compared to the others. I've used them with pretty great success.

Yes, my friend is lending me all the plugs and adapters and all that.

@pdx18 - I was looking at that brand, thanks!

I was just dive-bombed by a hawk as I was walking around my office. I actually heard it coming from behind me and ducked in time. I think he wanted the clip in my hair.

pantsoffdanceoff so sorry I meant to send this to you before and forgot. Here is the one I have for my bike ride. It holds 3-4 full charges. I brought two of them for my 3 day bike ride last year and had no access to charge and never ran out.

I sent my career services friend my resume today. I have been complaining about my job for too long. I'm nervous! I HATE applying and interviewing. I HATE rejection.

[Serenity9]

10 days from now my divorce will be final!

[sharic]

I skipped my workout this morning and only feel guilty because it's the 1st of the month and a Monday...but I feel I'm starting both the week and now the month off bad:(

I want a makeover! I feel like I am in a hair and makeup rut, but am unsure where to go to do this!

I have been out of town the past 3 weekends, and will be the next two as well. I cannot wait until all of my weekends aren't planned again, starting June 20th!!

[Wanderista]

Over the weekend, the idea was discussed that I will eventually move in with BF. This won't happen right away but it seems like the trajectory in which things are going. We had kind of a rough patch a few months ago but now we are on the other side and pretty much on the same page. My previous relationships at this stage were usually falling apart while we tried to hold them together. This is the first one where we are generally really relaxed and compatible. Everything seems to mostly be pretty easy.

It probably sounds like I've always been this "relationshipy" but I really haven't. Honestly for many years, I did not think that I would ever be in something stable and long-term. I thought it was not in the cards for me.

[calle28]

Someone just sent me an email at work that said "then no harm no fowl".

[Wanderista]

Also, I am someone who hates interviewing and applying too. I also hate not knowing what a job will be like before I get into it. I'm talking about the things like the "real feel" of the office.

I've thought recently about maybe doing something else. A friend has offered to float my resume to her employer for me. I'm thinking about it. I'm not particularly unhappy and I'm not totally sure that place would be better. I kind of struggle between wanting to be challenged and wanting stability. I also get bored easily though I manage it. I'm happiest in a very stable workplace with rewarding intellectual challenge. No drama, basically.

I don't understand why people talk on the phone in the bathroom at work, in the stall. Bathrooms should be a no talking zone. Go outside, go in the lobby or an empty office of the stairway or something. Weirdos.

Also, why does my son try to talk to me when I am in the bathroom.  Can I have two minutes to myself people??

[Smurfette]

I had an awesome talk with my uncle this morning. He started talking about school and told me all about some article he read about grants and scholarships. He told me I need to focus on school now and that I can be anything I put my mind to. He made my day.

Seriously, this is so annoying.  We actually made it an official rule at my work, which just seems ridiculous to have to go.

I just went back in the restroom and she is either back in there talking on the phone or she never left.  WTF

My work review was pushed to Thursday or Friday. *hulk smashes desk*

I am in such a weird mood today. It's like a mix of sad/tired/frustration/anger. I want to go home.

I had a phone interview last week - and another one tomorrow. I don't hate my job so this is nice, to be able to interview with no pressure and be able to set my salary requirements high. Which means I Prob won't get an offer, haha, but you never know!

Ugh, I hate my job so I feel ALLLLLL the pressure. I don't know what to do or even how to apply half the time. I just want to not feel like I am going to vomit every time I come in to work.

I hate my job too jojo and I don't even really know what I want to be when I grow up. I've been pursuing a job in HR, but it's not like that's my passion or anything. People keep asking me why HR. I don't know! Because it's a stable career, I think I'd be good at it and I need a job? lol. Career stuff sucks.

It's raining here which is good because we need it. I hired a new person to clean my house and she started this morning. I also dropped 3 giant loads of laundry to be washed/dried/folded-This is the first time I've ever that, I'm so excited to go home to a clean house and no laundry!

[makncheez]

The BF has been on his man-period for the past week or so and I am SERIOUSLY OVER IT! He's going out of town for work for the next two nights and I am freaking ecstatic! I'll going to starfish the bed, eat whatever I want, watch tons of crappy reality TV and answer to no one!

[cam13]

I cannot believe it is June. I feel like I haven't accomplished anything!
