2010
2009 was a great year, but I think 2010 could easily compete.
This year I had my senior show, graduated college, was a bridesmaid for the first time & opened a joint bank savings account with Ed. I did a lot of growing up.
I went to Bonnaroo with Ed. It was the first vacation that just the two of us went on together. We didn’t kill each other & it was so fun.
I had a really...

I know I've said this before,
but I just can’t believe that this time next year I’ll be living somewhere else. I won’t be doing laundry at my mom’s or getting dollar drinks down the street with all of my friends from high school & college. I won’t be working at the library & running into people I know wherever I go. I’ll have to find a new bank, dentist & vet. If my car breaks...

Ed & I opened a joint bank account yesterday.*
We have over $1,000 in our savings for what I will always refer to as “the big move”. We’re on our way. If I only knew where we were going.
*And people give us shit for not being married. Married people don’t even have joint bank accounts sometimes. At this point, I don’t think we could even be more committed.

Christmas Updates
I had a really great Christmas this year, despite having a few epic breakdowns the morning of. I was really stressed out over a few legitimate things, but by the end of the day they were all resolved & I was back to beaming.
I got some amazing gifts, which didn’t hurt any either. My dad got me some beautiful swarovski earrings & a camera (though he accidentally left it at his...

Lionel played fetch again last night,
for the first time in over a year.
It was a Christmas miracle.

I turned 23 yesterday.
It’s not a very monumental birthday & it feels just like 22 did. I feel like the early 20s as a whole are pretty weird, especially for someone like me who isn’t ready to settle down, but also isn’t looking to get wasted every night. I’m happy with where I am, but sometimes it feels all wrong when I think about it too hard.
Regardless, I had an excellent birthday. I got...

I have to get 2 fillings at 8am this morning.
It’s a cruel world.
I'm feeling really good today.
I feel like I’m on top of things today, for once. It’s an unusual feeling, but one that I’ve needed. I’m already ready to mail my thank you letters from this weekend. My apartment is pretty clean. I have almost all of my Christmas shopping done & wrapped. Ed & I still have a few things to make. I have some great aspirations for this afternoon. I’m opening a...

I am considering going to grad school.
I am thinking about getting certified to be a school librarian. I’ve been talking about it for years now & I might finally be in the position to do something about it. I already have 5 years of experience working in a library & 23 years experience of being a head librarian’s daughter. Basically, I know a lot about it.
Also, I think being able to be a school librarian & an...

I'm considering today a snow day.
I called in to work telling them that I couldn’t make it out of my drive. If I had actually gotten dressed & made my way out to the car, I’m sure that’s what would have happened, so I just skipped the whole “trying” thing.
I’ve already cleaning both sinks, done dishes &, well, that’s about it. I’m sure I’ll get more done in time. I...

Can everyone stop for a second
& tell me how awesome I am for having almost, if not all, of my Christmas shopping done. I think I need it because it was expense.

I hung out with the guys from Minus the Bear last...
After the show we went to the bar across the street & talked with them for hours. It was weirdly normal. Jake, the lead singer, was kind of a dick at first. He warmed up to us & he ended up actually being pretty funny. Alex, the keyboardist, was really nice & I really enjoyed talking to him.
I love nights like last night.

Another dog is brutally attacked in San Diego. →
bblove:
Some sick, fucked up person stabbed this 9-month-old German Shepard FIFTY times. It was found staggering down the street in Point Loma, where it eventually died. Two weeks ago, two puppies were found in different dumpsters, with their ears savagely cut off with a serrated knife. Thankfully, they lived. Who does things like this? Who brutally harms sweet, defenseless animals? People...

Spoon ring envy. →

I would love to own you.
My boyfriend made a ring just like that. I bet he would be happy to sell it to you or make you another one if you so desired.
It's weird the things that you remember & think...
when you’re not filled with stress.
