Been a little while. Hmm... things are nuts. Really and truly.My roommate and I FINALLY found an apartment. It's a little expensive. But no awful, yucky, ewwy, gooey carpet! Plus. Plus. And it's in the med district, so finding a wealthy, sexy doctor to date should be pretty do-able lol* Kidding!! But good gracious... the view! The. View! 10th floor, Highrise, Downtown view. So we get our keys tomorrow night and spend this weekend moving on it and up... Up! Up! Up!

I have a stalker. Not exactly what I wanted in the form of a dating relationship. Kinda was going for the whole mutual attraction thing... Crazy talk, I know. He's this guy I had a 7-minute conversation with in the grocery store. I had just gotten off work and so I was wearing my work gear. He has been going in every day, asking for my schedule, never ordering food. My boss asked me about him, described him, and I was like, NO I don't even know him. Seriously. Not. Okay. We have cop regulars and my boss told them about the guy. So that makes me feel better, but also embarrassed. New girl has a stalker. New girl doesn't know how to live in the Big City. Little Blondy is so vulnerable.

School has started back up, and I haven't bought books. Kinda screwed in that department. Just been so stressed with the moving, animals, my very broken car, looking for a new job, etc. school just kinda snuck up on me.

Okay, well I am in much need of a nap time! Hope the new year is treating you all well!

Feelings

I hate that I allow someone I care about to hurt my feelings so badly. I know he is actually just crazy right now. But I literally cried off and on throughout a friend's birthday party last night because my feelings were so hurt. And thing is, because of circumstances going on I can't even tell him he is a jerk. I can't even text him. Because he was, up until New Years Eve, going to be roommate's with me and my best friend - who incidently was his boyfriend until New Years Eve. So me moving to Houston was supposed to be positive, and I am still clinging to that, but things are falling apart.

J and I have to start completely over in finding an apartment. Our budget is minus a person. And we're cramped like crazy people in an efficiency. Which wasn't a problem until now, when I get back from Paris and 2/3 of us are sad! My other roommate, H is still trying to stay positive. She is actually really good at it. And so was I until I realized I was being judged and talked about behind my back.

Did I mention I got back from Paris and my car won't turn on? That's a joy. I'm starting my job today and I checked yesterday, it's about a 15 minute walk. Not too bad, and I can use the exercise, but goodness I am not a fan of weather below, oh 75, and even then I'm cold! Too skinny and bad circulation lol*

Oh well. I'm going to go get pretty. If I have to wear an unattractive cap I have to be double hott -- DISTRACTION! Jedi Mind Trick! Go!

Yay, first day of NEW job!

New Years Abroad...

Hope everyone had a wonderful New Years! Mine was wonderful and spontaneous. Last Tuesday I got a text from a friend of mine. She said she knew it was last minute, but would I like to go with her husband and three children to....

PARIS, FRANCE

!!!! I kid you not. Thursday she and I flew nearly 11 hours to Paris to meet up with her family and it was WONDERFUL. Paris is beautiful, even cold and rainy.

It wasn't long enough. Not near long enough! But it was a beautiful, perfect experience even for the short time. Delicious food, champagne, walking, great company.

I was such a lucky girl! I never could have imagined I'd bring in the New Year in Paris.
