It's been an entire month since my last post. I've started a new schedule at work. Whereas previously I was scheduled to work 30 hours per week, I'm not scheduled for 40 hours per week. However, due to low mail volume and the general restructuring of work schedules, I've been lucky to get 30 hours per week under the new schedule. They're in the process of adding new cities to our facility's

I finished my second sweater design, Beatrice. I'm so thrilled with the way it turned out. I took everything I learned from Rosemary and incorporated it into this raglan (I did a ksp decrease instead of a k2tog, and I used a smaller needle on the neck). This sweater was inspired by rainy days, The Sound of Music, and sweet simplicity.

Last night I finished knitting the first sweater of my own design. There are a couple of things I will change about it when I write the pattern, but overall I'm very happy with it. It looks exactly like my sketches! I never really thought I would be able to write my own patterns, but Flavio inspired me to try, and the way this sweater turned out has given me a lot of confidence to try more

I've been knitting like mad lately. Last week I was foraging in the garage, and I found the sweater I knitted for myself 4 years ago. Well, knitted but never finished. So I finished it. Then I knit Ysolda Teague's "Verity" beret. Now I'm knitting Ysolda's elephant. Next up I'll probably finish the brown & pink striped baby sweater and knit some socks (I just placed my first order with The

So Flavio is officially the greatest thing since sliced bread (although it should be noted that in Italy, this is not so impressive, since they've only had sliced bread for about 5 years now...and how many great things have really happened in the past 5 years?). As a knitter, I've found my lack of Adobe pretty crippling because there are so many rad patterns on the internet, and of course they're

My fat schnauzer Max ran away today. Our big beast of a rottweiler, Xena, has chewed a big hole in part of the fence. Well, really, she's eaten the bottom half of an entire board. We figured Max was too chunky to squeeze through, but apparently not. A neighbor found him and called the phone number on his tag. Thank God for that. Anyway, he's back home now and seems to be pretty pleased with

Last night I finished my lovely lily pad socks. Searching for things to knit next. Here are some ideas:I'm really interested in knitting some sort of lace shawl/stole. Maybe the Bleeding Hearts Stole from the current issue (Spring 2008) of Interweave Knits. Dream yarn for this project would be Schaefer Andrea in the Indira Gandhi colorway (100% silk and 100% delicious), but it's wicked expensive

I'm a bad blogger. I've rejoined the ranks of LiveJournalers because it's so much easier to log into. Because I'm always logged in. Blogger signs me out of Gmail every time I log in, which is inconvenient for me because Gmail is where I talk to my sweetie.Still, I don't want to abandon my blog.

Wow, I suck at updating this thing. There hasn't been a ton going on, though, really. It's finally spring! I mean really, really spring. With rain and crazy wind and budding trees and sneezing and everything in between. Today I transplanted my grape hyacinth plants (pictured) to a bigger pot. Their poor little roots had gotten all intertwined in the tiny pot they'd been sharing. But now

The past two weeks have been incredible. Flavio's visit couldn't have possibly been any better unless he'd stayed forever. He's the perfect person for me. He fits so well into my family--my mom already says she loves him like a son. He's sweet and gentle and affectionate and funny. He made me dinner and told me that my snoring is adorable. I miss him so much... Luckily, he's coming back

I really should update this thing more often, but the login process is a pain in the neck.Anyway...Flavio's coming to visit in less than 2 days. About 40 hours, actually. Emotionally, I'm wavering somewhere between a state of elation and a nervous breakdown. Fortunately, I have a ton of things to do before he gets here, so at least I'll be busy instead of sitting around freaking out.I've been

Valentine's day was wonderful. I took my mom out on a "date." We saw 27 Dresses and had a late lunch/early dinner at Ted's Montana Grill (one of the few restaurants I really like). Friday was not such a wonderful day, however. Personal and professional problems abound, and I spent a good portion of the night blubbering like a baby. But in my experience, a little sleep cures a lot of problems

I just finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife. It was so...beautiful. In the way that sadness can be beautiful. Like Eva Moves the Furniture. So heavy and complex. So much love and so much loss and...so much sadness. I think I should've taken more time to read it. Not because I feel like I rushed through it and couldn't understand/appreciate it. Just because, when I read things like

Update on the NYRs (new year's resolutions): it's been balls cold (to borrow a phrase from my Canadian friends), so walking Max has not been happening. But I've been eating so much healthier! And more regularly. And I made dinner tonight (pork loin with mushroom cream sauce). I deposited $100 in my savings account a few days ago. Also I've been pretty conservative with my spending. And

Last night I actually went to bed at 10 o'clock. I slept for almost 12 hours. Pure bliss.Only two weeks left until my appointment at work ends and my 5-day break begins. I'm really looking forward to having that time off work, which I plan to spend finally cleaning my room. I've already started the process a bit, by reorganizing my bookshelf yesterday. I also got some new bedding to

Now that Christmas is over, I'm enjoying my Thursdays again. Today I did lunch & a little bit of shopping with my mom. Really, I can't think of a nicer way to enjoy my day off than with green bean fries, a steamy cinnamon dolce latte, and the latest issues of Radar and Blueprint (my two new favorite magazines). Not to mention discussing books, J.J. Abrams, and Italian verbs with my sweetie.

A new year, but not a new me. I'm really happy with where I'm at right now. Of course there are things I'd like to change a bit, because there's always room for improvement, but I don't feel hopeless. It's a good feeling. :-)I started the year at work. Maybe not the best way to ring it in, but probably better than being by myself at home. I did a little shopping this morning, and I was

I know most people don't do this until after Christmas, but today I started thinking about my New Year's resolutions. Well, I'm not really thinking about them in those terms, I suppose, because when I think of New Year's resolutions, I think of ridiculously idealistic goals that nobody ever intends to see through. No, I want to set some real goals. Things I can realistically accomplish and

Tonight at work I finished reading Pride and Prejudice, which I truly loved. I think I want to read Persuasion next, maybe. I'm going to Borders in the morning to wrap up my Christmas shopping (since Amazon is stupid and couldn't ship my stuff in time, even though I ordered it early enough), and I'm also going to pick up a new book to read (even though I've got about a million laying around

Oh lord, it's December. My holiday work schedule started today. Six days a week, 8-12 hours a day, for three weeks. Cha-ching! Tonight was a "light" night; I only had to work 7h45min. Thursday was a big day for me. I got my oil changed and managed to play the dumb daddy's girl and still not get screwed over. After that, I went to the mall and bought myself some Christmas presents.

Yesterday I was looking at my reading list and thinking, "Wow, I've read 17 books this year! That seems like so many!" Really, it's not. It's not even half of what I had planned to read this year. But it's probably more than I read in all 4 years of college combined (not counting books for classes). So it feels like something to me. :)Instead of going to bed Saturday night, I stayed up and

Tonight I work I had a shocking revelation: I actually like my job! I've gotten past the bullshit, have actually come to accept it. Of course there are times when I don't want to be there, but the pay is nice, and the work isn't really difficult. Plus I get to do three of my favorite things: listen to music, read (during my breaks), and think. Here are some of the thoughts I had tonight at

I guess this will be my only post for the month of October. Oops. :) I haven't been doing much, other than working. Last week I had my 90-day review, so my probation period is over now. It's weird to think that I've been working there for 3 months. Well, that includes training and everything, but still...three whole months, and I haven't made a single friend. That's weird, right?Tomorrow

This morning I had brunch with my mom, her bff Debbie, and Debbie's daughter Sara. We went to Eggs Cetera in Oldtown. I'd heard good things, but I'd never been there before. It was pretty good! No Something Brewing, of course, but really...what is? God I miss that place! Anyway, Eggs Cetera was nice (previously we'd done the brunch thing at The Good Egg, which is in Bradley Fair on the east

I decided to spend today reminding myself that my personal happiness lies in my own hands. I got pretty for myself (straightening my hair for the first time in about a month!), and then I treated myself to coffee and beautiful California sunflowers and a long drive in my car. I spent the afternoon shopping with my mom at two of my favorite stores (Hallmark & Target). I almost got the sweetest

So in my last post, I sing your praises for bringing autumn early. And in return, you bring us a week of 90-degree weather. This is unacceptable.

Not much has happened since the last time I posted. I'm still horribly lonely, but I'm trying to get over it. Right now I'm in the process of autumn-izing my world. Luckily for me, the weather is cooperating! I figure autumn-ification is pretty darn difficult when you want to wear a sweater, but it's 100 degrees in the shade. For once, Mother Nature seems to agree. Anyway, my world smells

Since I've started this job (which, granted, was only a week ago), there have only been 2 whole nights when I didn't have to stay late. I guess maybe I shouldn't complain because I had originally been planning to sign up for a 7 and a half hour shift anyway. But at least that would've included a lunch break. I've been taking a snack with me to eat during my 10 minute break at the 4-hour mark,

I've had a pretty rotten day. Actually, my day wasn't that bad. I made a giant little cake. And I got a great picture of Max being a total badass. Plus, my hair is freaking awesome. Isn't it amazing what a haircut, a little bit (or a lot) of dye, and an eyebrow wax can do? Yeah.BUT it was all flushed down the toilet when I hit my brother's car when I was backing out of the driveway tonight.

Whyyyyyyy did I volunteer to train on a Saturday? Soooo sleepy... At least the time goes by pretty quickly when you're on the computers, and there won't be traffic at 9am on a Saturday. I didn't think training was going very well after the first day, when I only passed 4 tests and failed 3, but yesterday was a lot better. I passed 9 tests and only failed 2. A-Coding is soooo much easier than

Anger has (mostly) subsided. I'm done with Dillon's...I don't need to think about it anymore, right? And why should I be so shocked that people would be rude, thoughtless, or unapologetic? If that job taught me anything, it's that people are horrible.Anyway, today's been a pretty good day. I'm tired, though...but that's probably a good thing, because I shouldn't have too much trouble going to

I think, as a special goodbye tribute to me on my last night at the store, every fucking moron on the east side of Wichita decided to come through UScan tonight. I mean I had everything...people who don't understand the concept of tax, people who don't know how to follow directions, people who are just fucking stupid. And, the cherry on top of the entire night came at 11 o'clock, when the store

A couple days ago I found my pearl ring. I hadn't ever unpacked it after coming home, and I wasn't really sure where it was. Anyway, I found it. Happiness and joy.I'm so frustrated with my job at Dillons. I've only got 2 days left, but it's hell. I don't even want to think about it anymore.I've been baking and shopping. Shopping and baking. Happy to be baking, but need to stop shopping.

I just made gateau Breton (a French butter cake). It's the best thing I've ever made! Okay, so it's a little burnt around the edges, and the bottom is a little brown too, but it's delicious! Definitely something I can see myself making all the time. I didn't take a picture because it's not perfect, plus I couldn't wait to eat it. One thing, though...this is the 2nd thing I've made from How to

Well, maybe I'm not that emo yet. But my life is certainly not "Everything Magically Comes Together All At Once!" You would think I'd know this by now and therefore wouldn't get my hopes up so high when exciting things appear to be in the works for me. And yet... Okay kids, story time! Once upon a time there was this beautiful princess. Er, no, not really. She was really just average. But

I didn't really want to write about this, just in case I fail, but tomorrow morning I'm going to the DMV to get my license. I'm nervous, and I don't really know what I'm going to do if I don't pass. Hopefully that won't be an issue. I'm trying not to think about it, anyway. Last night I drove home from work. It was my first time driving on Kellogg, and I think I did pretty well. My turns

Maybe all of my post titles should be Rhett Miller lyrics from now on. Yeah, I kinda dig that idea. At least for today. So I ordered 3 Old 97s CDs today. J.Crew sent me size 10 flip-flops (although I definitely ordered size 11), but it's okay because apparently sizes are negotiable when it comes to non-binding footwear. Okay, they're not as comfortable as one size up would be, but they work.

"It's just two days out of your life, Whitney."I find myself hearing this every week these days. Between working all of these hours in scanning, working some hours in the front end, and going through this application process at the post office...I'm exhausted! My whole body aches, I'm tired, and I'm frustrated with my life.Today was day 2 of working 5am-2pm. Test-scanning in produce was a

Well, I didn't get the job in Hutchinson. I checked the website a few days ago, and the job posting had been removed, so I'm assuming they hired someone else. Last night I applied for another job at the same facility, though. "Facility Engineering ASP"...something about being an assistant to the facility engineering director. Sorting the mail is listed as one of the duties of the position.

Between last week and this week, I pretty much have a full-time job, minus the benefits like vacation & stuff. I can't wait to get paid, man. So I can see how much this is all really worth. A.K.A. not much. July 14th-15th is the premiere weekend for the new Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments. *dork* Yeah, I'm super excited. There are like 4 on the website that I want, including the new Holiday

Tons of stuff has happened since my last update. I've worked 30 hours since Monday (including 12 hours on Wednesday alone!). I've driven on the highway, in traffic, in the dark, and in the rain. I passed the typing test for the post office job, and my pre-employment orientation is scheduled for the 10th of July. I bought season one of The Odd Couple on DVD, Pretty Little Head by Nellie McKay,

A while back, I took inventory of the stuff I've got for an apartment and made a list of things I still need. Since then, my collection has grown significantly--especially in the furniture department. So I figured I might as well make a new list, to see where I'm at now.Things I Have:Bedroom furniture (twin-size mattress, boxed springs, bed frame & headboard, chest of drawers, nightstand,

Tonight I started knitting the first of three baby sweaters for which I just bought yarn. I'm using this yummy machine washable cashmere-blend stuff that I love. It's super-soft, never itchy, and did I mention machine washable? And, hello, cashmere!! Basically the perfect yarn. It's not even super expensive. Actually, cheaper than the organic cotton stuff called for in the patterns. Anyway

Yesterday I was hit with a big blow to my self-esteem: the realization that I have no friends. It's true, though. My only friend here in Wichita is my dog. But don't get me wrong, because I'm head over heels for the little furball. And I've got hobbies. Namely, watching House and knitting socks and walking Max and learning two languages and blah blah blah. But I'm a nice person, and I've

So I'm currently learning 2 languages--Portuguese and Italian. Lately I've been making all of these friends (online) from around the world. I'm learning so much, and I love it. It makes me a little sad, though, because it's a reminder that I'm, ya know, here. But it also gives me a feeling of power over my situation...like maybe I really could leave. Just go somewhere. Anyway, I need money

Today should've been a great day. I made a new friend who's teaching me Italian. I got to see Evan for the first time in about 10 months. Stratford Hardy came through my line at work.And then...I had The Customer From Hell. She was awful. She said I grabbed her money out of her hand, and she pretty much threatened to "smack the hell" out of me. She lodged a complaint against me. I also have

A while back, I bought a bunch of stuff from Lush. While I love everything I got, my favorite has definitely been the soap. My bar, the Ooh La La bar, is now running out, and I'm very sad about it. Or at least I was, until I ordered more soap yesterday. I bought 4 bars this time, one each of Ooh La La, Alkmaar, Angel's Delight, and Figs & Leaves. Last night I used my Angels on Bare Skin

I have too many DVDs. I forgot to mention that, although I didn't pay for it (yay for the mommy!), When Harry Met Sally was also added to my collection today. I unpacked a ton of DVD cases this afternoon, but I'm still missing 8 cases. The bookcase I've got set up for DVDs is almost full. I've got room for maybe 4 more...and I'm missing 8! And I don't even have my boxed sets on there. I'm

No more work until Sunday night! Woohoo! AND EVAN'S COMING BACK!!!!I deposited 2 paychecks today. My account is happy now. I even put money in savings for a change. Crazy. To reward myself for all the hard work (because, ya know, I don't do this nearly often enough), I went to Target with the intention of buying a movie. Well, I ended up buying the first season of House, Teenage Mutant

This has been a long week. Sunday was...busy. Very busy. I barely remember Monday...it seems like it was so long ago. I didn't do much that day, other than take Max for two mile-long walks. And I watched like half of MI:3 before passing out for the night. Yesterday I worked 8 hours at a snail's pace. I finished putting up tags like an hour before my lunch break and spent the rest of the

Yesterday was an interesting day, particularly at work, where it was "Hey Let's Be SAMFs and Hit On Whitney" Day. First some guy who was with his mom tried to get my number, and when I wouldn't give it to him he wrote down my name and the store number, and then he stole my pen. He wouldn't leave until his mom practically dragged him out of the store. THEN there was some old man, in his 70s,

So I just got back from driving my Mustang for the first time. My first time behind the wheel of a car in 4 and a half years. And guess what? I'M A GOOD DRIVER!!!! Well, not great, not really even good...but leaps and bounds better than I was in high school.What a relief.

A week from today, I'm taking the test for the job at the post office. Yay? No, really, I do hope I get this job, even if it means I could be working almost 60 hours a week between the post office and Dillons. Even if it means that I will have become my mother and my father. I need to stop this at some point. I can't just become them. Not that I don't love them, not that I don't think

People with big dogs should not have small fences. I took Max for a walk/jog this morning, and on our way home from the park I thought we were gonna be mauled by several huge barking beasts. I shit you not, I saw one RUN UP A WALL trying to get over its fence! And it almost did, too. Thank God Max is practically oblivious to other dogs...if he'd started barking back, I'm afraid it would've

So the room is seriously starting to come together. Here's all I've got left to do:Put books on the shelves (I'm having to be more choosey than I'd like...I just have too, too many books...and this bookcase isn't as big as I thought, unless I stack my books double-deep...which makes me a little nervous).Set up my little bookcase (the one I had in my dorm room) and put all my DVDs on it (which

My room is really starting to come together. All of the furniture is assembled and in its place. I just need to put everything away...which is no small task, trust me. But right now I'm taking an extended break and watching a few episodes of Kyle XY. It's amazing what a little furniture and decluttering can do for a room. It actually looks like a 20-something woman lives here...not a feral

Moving furniture suuuuuuucks. My back hurts like crazy. And it's not like I'm done or anything, of course. I can't even see my bed anymore because there's so much stuff on top of it. Jeez.Well, at least I'm being productive. Right?

So I'm sitting here listening to the new Maroon 5 CD, and "Nothing Lasts Forever" comes on...and I think to myself, "Wow...I really like this song." Then I think, "Hey...I know this song! Why do I know this song?" Then I realize...Oh, this is Adam Levine's part from Kanye West's "Heard 'Em Say" (a.k.a. my favorite KW song)!! So, yes, favorite song on the CD so far. Although "Won't Go Home

Ahhh, it's nice to get off at 10:30 on a Wednesday morning and know that I don't have to go back to work until 4 o'clock Friday afternoon, and even then it's just for 3 and a half hours, and I've got Saturday off. This has been a really easy week at work, even though I'm working longer shifts. I'd rather work longer shifts and have more days off, though.Next week I'm going to get a shit ton of

So this is what my hair looks like when it's curly:Man, I need to go to bed...I have to get up in less than 6 hours. YUCK!!!!I ♥ Martina McBride. Since when? I'm not sure. But suddenly I've got more of her music than Lily Allen's. What the heck?

I was up until midnight putting together my new bookcase. It took four hours. Ridiculous. This morning I got up a little after 7 and put my bed together. Putting the bed together didn't take too long (maybe 20 or 30 minutes), but I had to clear a place for it, which meant moving out furniture and throwing a ton of shit away.Anyway, bookcase and bed are done. Now I've got the dresser and the

We're cleaning out the garage today, but all I want to do is empty out my room so I can set up my new bed, dresser, bookcase, and nightstand. I've finally finished going through all of my stuff in the garage...pitching stuff I don't want, packing up stuff I do. It looks like it's about to start raining.So yeah...all new furniture for my room, with the exception of the TV stand. But once I save

I went bed-shopping today. First I went to Furniture Row...BIG MISTAKE!! They didn't have anything. Nothing that wasn't in the kids section. Nothing that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Then I went to Slumberland, and found exactly what I was looking for, and they just happened to have one on clearance, and it just happened to only cost me $115 (including tax!!). It's just the headboard, and

Today's been a pretty decent day, other than the headache, back ache, and constant sleepiness. I went shopping. I got a grown-up purse, but it's not like old lady-ish. It's blue leather, and the liner is leopard-print (not cheesy, though). It was 30% off (still pretty expensive, though)! I also got a new battery for my watch (which died like 6 months ago) and some new clothes (a couple pairs

I don't think it's really sunk in that I'm home for good. I keep thinking, "Oh, I've gotta remember to get this done!" Completely forgetting that I've got, well, the rest of forever to do it.I hate my job. I don't like saying that because I really am grateful to have it, even though I'm grossly overqualified for it. And I do need the money. But all of the reasons why I used to actually like

Nevermind, I got the internet again. Woohoo!Yesterday I started jogging with Max. It was so much fun! Except that he wanted to pee on everything. I also started work yesterday afternoon. Ughhhh. Hate. But...it's money. And I like to flirt with the old guys who come in the store...they're too cute!!Max is fantastic. He keeps running up to me and jumping up on me, standing on his

I've been up since my dad called me at 7:30 yesterday morning.I'm "graduating" in 2 hours. I think something monumental happened last night.This is my last post for a while.♥

I'm so, so tired. My dad called and woke me up at 7:30 this morning. Why, Dad, why? I think I have a fever. I'm pretty sure I caught Death at the party last night. Yay mosquitos.I. Just. Want. It. All. To.END.

Cannot wait to leave this place.Happy to have discovered who my true friends are before leaving.Unfortunate that I found out so late, but still...gives me at least a little time to really appreciate them.Hate that I've compromised things I wanted to do out of concern for someone else.

Had a really bad night's sleep. Meaning that I didn't sleep at all. I look like shit. Found out some stuff I didn't really want to know. BETRAYAL IS AWESOME!! Final went about as badly as it could've, and I'm pretty sure I ruined my solid A. And did I mention that I look like shit today?

I wish I knew the conversion from British pounds to US dollars. I just bought Amy Winehouse's first CD from AmazonUK because the US version doesn't come out until September 21st. And although that would've made it a wonderful birthday present, I'm so very bad at waiting. It's taking all of the self-control I can muster to not download the new Maroon 5 single. The album comes out on the 22nd,

Oh Amy Winehouse...I love you. Will you marry me? I'm pretty sure Back to Black is the best album I've listened to in a LONG time. And by a long time I mean like ever. Where have you been all my life?

Tonight I ate gator-on-a-stick and roasted corn and fried pickles. Oh, and pizza and breadsticks. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm going to die of a massive coronary before sunrise. I also shot lemonade out of my nose...that hurt!! And I almost died. Fun stuff, let me tell ya.P.S. I bought a little t-shirt for Max that says "Mommy's Little Angel"!!!

Yeah, I'm feeling loads better. I let go of being angry and sad. Maybe it's because I'm wearing yellow. Maybe it's because I don't want to leave on bad terms. Maybe it's because BLAH BLAH BLAH. Who cares why? I'm just happy, and I don't think I need a reason for it.So I'm reading House of Sand and Fog, and I love it...........but................. Well, there is no but, I suppose. I like

I just talked to my mom. I don't know that it really helped, maybe just made me want to be home even more. She suggested going into isolation (minus Laura, who might be the only person left who doesn't make me feel uncomfortable and wretchedly depressed) for the next 10 days. It might be worth a shot. I don't expect that I'll make it past Tuesday, when I have my last final and can no longer

I didn't mention it in all my rage last night, but yesterday I finished reading Tokyo Cancelled. I think I'll probably read House of Sand and Fog next. It's not very long, and I think it'll go quickly because, if it's anything like the movie, it's a pretty intense story. So maybe that will compensate for all of the time I spent on Tokyo Cancelled.I didn't sleep well last night. I barely slept

I really hate Hendrix. I hate what the atmosphere does to people. And maybe it's just what naturally happens when you get a bunch of privileged potheads together and feed them beer and pizza. Like gremlins. They just turn into freaking monsters. I don't know. I just made that up. But really...I've had moments of really disliking this place and wanting to leave many times over the past

I just have to say that Tokyo Cancelled is killing any progress I might have been making in this reading challenge. It's the most frustrating book I've ever read in my life because most of the stories make NO SENSE WHATSOEVER! I don't want to just give up, especially since I'm almost done with it now. But really...this is one of the most difficult books I've ever read. And pointless, too.I

There are ducks in my swimming pool. Today I went to my last class ever for the rest of my life. I got an A on my FinMan test, which means I might be able to pull out a B in the class. I got 5 books in the mail today, including my favorite book of all time. Tonight I'm making crepes (wish me luck). I had plans tonight, and even though I'm responsible and got a sub for my shift, I work with

"Cleaning" my room. Listening to a mix of summer-y music. Missing a bottle of nail polish. Dreaming about my Mustang. Drooling over summery dresses and oversized sunglasses.Last night I had a dream that I was dating (and living with!) Jack Johnson. It was the best dream I've ever had. I'd spend all day in bed if I thought I could get back to that dream...I'd really like to quit my job at

First hangover ever. Recovering nicely. I puked a bit this morning (nothing more than bile...I didn't eat dinner last night, so there was nothing in my stomach but alcohol...oops). Had a headache all day, but finally took some aspirin and a nap and feel just fine (tummy's still a little wonky, but I haven't thrown up in 7 or 8 hours). Ariane told me that a good cure for a hangover is to eat

So tired. Did not sleep well at all last night. Don't really want to do anything but sleep today. Unfortunately, this is not so much an option since I have crazy amounts of work to do. Yuckkkkkkk. It's almost over, it's almost over, it's almost over.In other news, I'm so excited about my car. And I'm never going to shut up about it. I'm actually going to have a car. Like a real car. And

I'm having the worst case of procrastination tonight. I haven't done my homework for Corporate Strategy or Cost Accounting. I probably won't do the Cost Accounting. Ughhhhhhhhhh.
