Happy Easter!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday.  This 3 day weekend was really nice, but next time I want to capitalize on my extra time off and go home.  It's been awhile since I've been home and I'm really starting to get homesick!

This weekend I slept a lot (what else did you expect?), I went shopping (clothes and food) and I watched movies.  I went out with a couple of friends on Friday night, so I spent some time with other people.  I was supposed to go out Saturday night as well, but with my debit card info being stolen they stopped it and I cut it up.  I have been using my credit card for everything else, however, I can't take cash out!  So I couldn't go out with Meghan to see a band downtown, since I had $2 cash to my name, and that's definitely not enough for cover, haha.

So I stayed in and watched The Hobbit.  To be honest, I thought it was boring, I kept checking the time to see when it would be over.  I used to love the cartoon, and I like the book, but this movie was just sllooowww.  And I really like Martin Freeman, so I was doubly depressed.  Today I cleaned up the apartment a bit, went to express and bought a new pair of pants and a work dress, and watched even more movies!

I start work again tomorrow, hopefully it's not weird.  I feel like coming back after more than just a weekend off is always a bit strange.  Add to that the mess I  made of an assignment I should have tried harder on from Thursday, and you've got an interesting mix.  I think I'm gonna leave early and try to get a Starbucks or something beforehand, get myself ready for the day.  I'm getting my hair cut afterward, I'm kind of excited! I hope it turns out well, I always have high hopes.... but even if it doesn't, I can deal with it! After the last fiasco, I feel I can deal with any hair related messes easily.

Mom sent me a whole box of candy, but I'm trying to be healthy so it's getting eaten very very slowly.  Like one caramel egg a day, lol.

Doctor Who and Game of Thrones both premiered this weekend, I thought Dr. Who was a bit of a disappointment, and I am still waiting for GoT.  Finally some new, good TV to look forward to.

I have finished 24 books so far this year.  When I felt bad on Thursday I bought myself a new book, but it's coming in the mail (not on my kindle) so I have to wait to read it.  Yeah that's a thing that I do, I spend money to make myself feel better.  I also bought a yoga mat to do some exercises on the wood floor, so hopefully that will make me feel loads better if I start feeling down again.  I like to do small exercises, I hate running.

We put an ad out for a new roommate!  We got a few responses, and have a couple of meetings set up to figure out who we want to live with.  I'm excited, I like living with more people (though with Meredith it was kind of awful).  They are all younger than me, but what's new.  I feel like a dinosaur here.

I had bought a dress for Christine's wedding, but I am returning it.  It didn't fit exactly right, and it was a bit different than the picture online showed it.  So I'll keep looking!  I looked for something today at Express (since everything was 40% off) but I didn't see anything I would want to wear.  I want to wear something different- not just a boring'o solid dress.

Oh gosh, whenever I sit down to write these I realize I don't have much to say! At least not that I am ok with anyone and everyone reading, haha.

It's almost April, and that thought depresses me more than it should. Time goes by so fast!!

I hope it starts getting warm out here, to be honest, I miss the sun. I miss tank tops and flip flops and sunglasses and sunscreen.

I feel like I'm always being asked about my job. Here's the thing, I like my job. I would stay there the whole time I'm in Boston if given a chance. But, I really want a permanent position, with a bigger paycheck and medical benefits. Is that a lot to ask for? I always feel a bit greedy when I think about it- but right now I'm only working part-time. I'm breaking even every month, not rebuilding the savings I spent to move out here at all. I can't spend money like I used to, which is ok, but now I feel guilty even spending $5 for breakfast in the morning. I just want a little bit more leeway. Also, I want a permanent position because I feel like the worlds oldest intern (though I know I'm not). I want to establish myself and start my career, and I feel like that keeps getting stalled. I had a phone interview with another company this week. I think it went ok, though I'm better at in person interviews. We'll see what happens. It's for a PR coordinator, full time perm position near Southie. I don't know what the pay is though, that has yet to be revealed. I feel weird asking though, so I'll wait to see if they liked me to ask for more info.

I have Friday off which is neat, 3 day weekend all to myself. I was thinking of trying to come home and surprise my family for Easter, but it was too late by the time I found out, flights were crazy expensive. Sara is going to NY to meet her friends and then they are coming here on Sunday night to visit for a few days. So fri sat and sun I'm all by my lonesome. Prob pick a new TV show and marathon it on the couch. Productive.

I've been really stressed out about being healthy the last couple of days. I feel like a gross slob lately and need to change my shit up. I bought a bunch of veggies and am packing my lunches. I'm drinking tons of water and trying to exercise more. I want to do these videos I found online, but a lot of it involves jumping, and I feel bad for the people downstairs. Or maybe that's just my laziness talking. I have to figure something out. Gym here are like $60 a month, which I find insane. I hate running, I can't breathe and my knees always hurt. But I can't keep getting fatter!

Sometimes I feel so whiny when I write these. I always forget to write when I'm happy and things are awesome. My friends were here, I had a blast with them. Oh well. Maybe I'll write more often as part if my healthy new me regimen. We'll see.

Past my bedtime now, I hope everyone has a good Easter :)

Video blog today! No music, so you can better hear my melodious voice. hahahaha.

I had time to kill and was lazy (which I explain) so instead of writing, I'm talking.  And can I just say that watching and listening to myself is really really weird.  Also, I can never get past how big my teeth are.

Featuring a cameo by Lindsay Lohan

I really need to ingest some food.




Photos I promised I would include:

I actually don't have one of the cat in her rehab center. I thought I did, weird. Sara definitely does, I might update this and add it later.
