vacation

T-Minus…um, yeah. :)

/ california, vacation

I was so restless at work today. I got all my work done, but my mind was already to this evening. I have a HUGE post-it on my computer so I won’t forget to do some stuff. I just finished cleaning off my iPod (managed to free up almost 2 gig of space!) and now I’m adding new songs to it. 🙂

I’m excited about tomorrow. I think I am in a sort of a denial because I haven’t done too much of anything tonight. Trying to think if I need to go to the store tonight for anything but I don’t think so. Most of my clothes are all packed! I just need to pack the electronics! 🙂 Also, transfer some $, balance the checkbook. Make sure my finances are in order! 🙂 Oh yeah, pack my shoes. YIPES. I am not getting picked up ’til 11:30 tomorrow, so I should have time in the morning as well. I’m setting the alarm. No more of this accidently waking up at 2pm like I did Monday. D’oh!

I’m going to have spaghetti tonight for dinner. I know it’ll be late but I don’t care. I don’t have to be up for work tomorrow. I know I am going to be SO SWAMPED when I go back on Tuesday–so many things are due tomorrow and are due Monday. I have a backup, but I know she gets crazily busy as well. So yeah. I’m expecting to do tons. Fun, fun. Also, my meeting count has just gone up to three a week! Noooo! That’s more than at Nationwide! Oh well. At least it’s stuff I care a lot about. Speaking of, I borrowed an Earth Science textbook but I forgot to bring it home. D’oh. I guess I’ll just have to use all the time on the flight to read my Sarah Dessen book (I’ll finish that in no time, though) and memorize my lines for the play.

I can’t believe the play is in a little over a week! It’s going to be so awesome. I can’t wait! 🙂

Hmm, three emails to answer before I sign off and get to work, ha ha. Must bathe tonight, and will shower in the morning methinks. Ack. So much to do that I’m scattered! Ha. I know it’ll all be okay, though.

Okay, I should go. Oh wait, emails. Dang it. Plus good music! 🙂

Okay, I’m going for real now. I promise. Later!

The Decision’s (almost) Been Made

/ california, disneyland, friends, vacation

So, I’m 97% sure I’m going to take Aimzy (liesandpromises) up on her offer to visit her in Los Angeles. I’ve always wanted to go, it will coincide with a lot of other things, and will be loads of fun. I need to get away from here for a while and immerse myself in a whole new world.

I’m just waiting to hear back from her regarding the dates; if the ones I chose are okay or not.

I’m starting to get excited!!! 😀

Here is what I’d like to do there:

– Drive down Sunset Blvd.
– Take a picture of the Hollywood sign.
– Spot one celebrity.
– GO TO DISNEYLAND!!!
– OF COURSE, spend lots of quality time with Aimzy! Oooh, that will be so much fun! 😀

I hope I can pull it off. *prays* I hope I have enough money to do everything I want to do. Seriously, how amazing would it be to have visited Disneyworld during Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary celebration, but then to get to visit DISNEYLAND too!! Oh wow. Wow wow wow. Characters, parades, shows. MAGIC!!

SQUEEEEEEEE!!!

ETA: I am 100% sure and beside myself with excitement!! CALIFORNIA, HERE I COME!! 🙂 Only a month and a half away! DOUBLE SQUEEEE!

My Vacation (Pictures)/Lessons Learned

/ pictures, smoky mountains, vacation

Just got back from another vacation. Not as amazing as Disney, but it did have its good points:

– I got to see very pretty mountains!
– I got to SHOP (very important). 🙂
– Stores on the Cherokee American Indian Reservation are awesome. I got the cutest hat!

Here are some pictures:


Me at the Tennessee/North Carolina state line


The Chimney Tops


Me, in Gatlinburg. Check out the hat! 🙂


OMFG.

Not sure if I want to go back. It was a cool one-time thing, but honestly, I prefer Disney. 🙂

(Besides, the internet connection there was HORRIBLE. It was dial-up, but horrendous. VERY VERY VERY SLOW. Ugh. The one in Disney was at least stable!)

I learned a few things while I was there. Not pretty, either.

– People will use you ’til you’re sucked dry. The sad thing is that they either don’t know they’re doing it, or they do, see how it affects you, and still don’t give a shit. I’m not sure which is worse.
– Most care only about themselves and their own agendas. And if it means hurting someone (namely me) to get that agenda solved, then so be it.
– People lie to themselves. Ridiculously.

I think it’s time for me to start making changes. Again. I’m tired of drama, of being hurt, of feeling like I’ll never be “good enough.” Screw it. I’m good enough for Aidan and that’s quite adequate.

Argh. Work tomorrow. I need to get to bed soon; I’m tired. Lots of time in the car over the past few days. I’m ready for a hot bath, then glorious sleep. But maybe some spaghetti first. ‘Til next time…

Smoky Mountains, TN

/ smoky mountains, vacation

We finally got here at about 3ish. In the morning. Hit a horrible patch of traffic on the highway and was stuck in it for a LONG time. 🙁

But the condo is worth it. It’s very, very beautiful. Huge, fully stocked, and soooo nice. 🙂 Pictures soon. Right now I’m a bit tired, so I’m going to run. Later! 🙂
