More Cowbell!

Things are going better now...

We made the pilgrimage up to Indiana last week to visit my family. Probably the best trip I've ever made up there. There were some down moments, like when my family's dog died...which was supremely depressing. Other than that, though, it was a good trip.

My youngest brother is 5 now...and he is hilarious. I got such a kick out of him. At one point during the trip, I did the math and figured out that my dad is now at the same point of raising my little brother that he was with me and my sister 20 years ago. Damn. Maybe I shouldn't have pointed that out to him.

There were a few slight mishaps involving our hotel room...as in them overcharging us, double charging us, giving us the wrong room, etc etc...and then the 0 degree weather made things fun on Thanksgiving...but I'm glad we went.

On the downside, I'm pissy to be back to work. Yes, Thanksgiving makes me thankful for having a job and such, but I hate my job! I can't wait to finish school so I can do something worthwhile for once. I'll get off that rant...only due to the fact that it's way too early for an "I hate my job" rant.

On that note...it's off to work for me. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

Whoopity Do

Yay for me. Yet another blog. Another place to gush about my boring life. No fear, I will post more soon, and enlighten your lives even further.

I have a ginormous final on Tuesday, so that's my excuse. Then I'll be visiting family up yonder in the Midwest for Thanksgiving....ANNNNND then I'll be back for more school, work, and posting on here! Yippee!!!

Actually, I'm in a pretty shitty mood tonight. The S.O. and I had a huge fight tonight. Things were said that were probably not meant, at least, until the anger subsides, then we won't mean the harsh things we said. I don't know if our relationship is salvagable at this point. It's one of those situations where my life will turn to shit if I don't stay...even though it's for the best that we go our seperate ways, emotionally. Needless to say, I'm torn. I do love him. I just don't know if that's enough to save what's going on. We're not happy. I admit that I could be trying harder, but after so many failed-this-one-is-the-one-relationships, I don't think I have much energy to try much harder. Not to mention that I'm getting older, and more stubborn about who I am, as I find out more who I am. To quote Coldplay: "Nobody said it was easy...it's such shame for us to part..."

And now I'm off to review some more, sip some calming tea, and attempt to sleep.
