Realizing Things

So I have become some one totally new since I have moved to Colorado. I am no longer a needy girl searching for love in something that obviously cannot give it to me. I don't even want a man right now at all! Its crazy. As soon as I find a guy that is great and fits all my requirements I decide I am not ready for a relationship. It's messed up I tell ya! I've been out with this guy a couple times and he's totally sweet and takes me on nice dates and brings me flowers and breakfast in the morning but I can't commit. I guess I just need more time for me and to settle into the new job and such.

Speaking of job...I'm loving it at the real estate agency. They are actually throwing a Happy Hour for my birthday and stuff! All the people here are great and I definitely stay busy...cept today...today has been sooo lame. I have all the stuff done I need to do and now I'm surfing facebook and trying to think of other things to do.

I do not think I'll be able to come home for my birthday because I cannot get the time off and it'd be really expensive to come home. I'm gonna be sooo sad celebrating my birthday without my family and friends though :( I miss every one a lot!

Last night I went to see the movie called The Orphan...it was pretty good but definitely a fucked up twist. I had to convince myself the lil girl was not going to kill me in my sleep before going to bed. Today after work I am heading to the Sunset party. It is just basically a picnic where you can listen to music and dance. Good times I hope.

Update!

Wow, I really need to get back in the groove of things and keep updating. A lot of things have changed since even the last blog. I got a new job at a real estate agency called Porch Light. I am a receptionist/office manager. Its really fun! I answer phones, do presentations, organizing, ordering, etc. Full time, paid holidays off, and health benefits. Yay! So no more hotel...thank goodness. I was driving 30 minutes there and 30 back every day just for $8 an hour. LAME!

I have now moved into my permanent room downstairs in Chandas house since her roommate left. Its awesome...bedroom and bathroom. I will put up some pictures of it soon. The only problem recently is that sometimes my car won't start. I am not sure what is up with it but it just keeps turning over but won't catch. I am going to take it in to get a new air filter and intake valve tomorrow. I don't know anything about cars but who knows maybe that will help.

I've been working basically two jobs a day for the past 2 weeks. Its pretty rough but I need to make more money than I have been. Babysitting, receptionist, and the hotel until the end of July. Oh and my birthday is almost a month away! 21 whoooo hooo!

No boys in the picture right now...I have been talking to some but none that are really clicking.

Wow, It's been awhile.

Well hello! It has been a long time and a lot of things have changed since I have posted. I have moved to Colorado which I love! I stayed in Iowa long enough to be there for Lauren's graduation and then drove the 13 hours to Denver...of course I breaked in the middle. I can't handle long drives; especially alone.

I got a job at a Comfort Inn, basically the same job as Sleep Inn but different state. The people are basically the same but I hate to say it that the Sleep Inn was a bit classier. I like it though...need to be paid better for all the work I do. I have been offered jobs other places: 3 nanny positions and a grocery store so far. I might take the grocery job it is a service desk job so basically just customer service...only part time and be full time at the Comfort for the benefits. It is sooo weird not to have insurance and to have to pay for my own car insurance and shit too!

Not sure how many of you know but I had to buy a new car. The head gasket on the shit mobile blew or something so I'd have to get a new engine...just wasn't worth it. So I bought a 99' Pontiac Grand Am GT in red. Its really cute and runs good...was only $2,200 and it retails at $4,500 so I got a smokin' deal.

So far while I've been in Colorado I've met a few cool people. I met my friends Jess and Alison at work and we go dancing and stuff together and then I met Kara and Cara (haha yes) at a hookah bar and at Vinyl (Dance club). They are both really cool girls. The hookah bar was a interesting experience I had never done that...much better than smoking cigarettes much smoother and better taste. We had a hookah that tasted like gummy worms. SOOO YUM!

I have also gone on a few dates...some of which I liked the guy and most of them I did not. I was really into this one guy but for some reason he turned into a Douche Magoosh so we no longer speak. So now I am just taking life as it comes and going on dates occasionally. I am pretty pumped because pretty soon here I will be buying a bed. Right now I am sleeping on my aunt's futon which is okay but not the greatest. Her roommate who is downstairs will be leaving soon so I am going to take her room with my own bathroom and shit. That'll be great. I can't wait to decorate it and make it feel more like home. I can't stand living out of boxes for much longer. You really forget what clothes and shit you have when you can't see it.

Hm.....anything else I should update you all on?.....Oh! I now have only $300 in debt! Well, not including my car. But I think that is pretty good coming from almost $2,000 about a year ago. I've just been slowly paying things off. I now have to pay for my cell phone, car insurance, car loan, share pledge loan, rent, groceries, gas, etc. Its rough cause I am not used to so much. I even had to do work for my aunts friend doing filing stuff to earn money cause bills were due before I got paid. I feel so accomplished! Nothing could have been better for me than this move and I am so glad I did it. Of course I miss my family and friends but this was what I needed to do. I will be back in August to visit and for my birthday which will be awesome. I can't wait to see everyone again and my lil nephew Jack jack might be walking by then maybe and awww I miss that lil guy. Anyway....I have gone on long enough. Miss you all!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another Day at the Inn

Once again at work until 10. I am trying to motivate myself to do some homework but I am just not feeling it. I got my Art paper back from the smart thinking website which is the best thing in the world, btw. You submit your paper and within 24 hours they send it back with ideas and revisions. I love it! I changed the things they mentioned and submitted it again...so we shall see what happens. It is due the 30th so I am actually kind of early. Yay!

Last night had night class and got my quiz back. I was so worried I would fail before I took it but I ended up getting a 18/20. Which is really good because it is matching so if you miss one you have to miss another ya know? That class is sooo boring..he just talks for hours. Atleast I am almost done. The best tip I have found for college ...just do it...it will be over before you know it and a C gets you the same degree as A's.

Just completed day 5 of the shred and I am feeling a lot better now that I am working out. Not doing too well with the eating right but that will come. I cut out pop again though so that's good. Love you all!

Work Boredom

Well I am at work...again...fml. Another 2-10 shift on the weekend. I got done with my third day on the shred and I am sore! My muscles are very tight so they appear stronger which I like but I know its all smoke and mirrors. I always quit when I see results so this time I hope to keep it up. The hardest part is eating right...which I do not and I do not make it seem like I do either lol.

I got my paper done for art midterm ...kinda...supposed to be 2-4 pages and I did nearly 2 so we shall see how that works out for me. Got 82/100 on the test midterm though! Tomorrows plan is to workout hardcore and have night class...oh joy! I'd rather man bash with Ash and Michael.

Shred!!!!

So I know I mentioned like a week or more ago that I was going to start the Shred but I never got around to it. I am LAZY! So today I am starting ...I am heading to the gym now and will do 45 minutes on the tredmill, 20 minutes on the stair climber, abs, lunges with weights, and then come home and shred. I am gonna be sore! I took before pictures and let me tell you people they are NOT good...so that is more motivation to get shredded.

I'll post more lata

Tacos, Darts, and Man Hating

So I got all prepared to go to class and to fail a test...ugg I know. To only find out that class was cancelled for some amazing reason! WHOOO HOOO! So I called up Ash and told her I was coming to Clinton for dinner. Ash, Michael (her roommate), and I went to Manny's 2 in Fulton and let me tell you they were the BEST tacos in the world. Sooo good. Then we went to Dj's bar in Clinton to play darts. I am not very good at darts but I hit the target most of the time. I had been drinking so my aim was a little off. What can I say?! The whole time we all discussed our hate for men ...some men anyway. It was an amazing girls night. :)
