Random Thought Monday

RT 1) I lurve my new job. Like really love it. I am going to be SUPER busy which makes me really happy. I am so much more productive when I am busy. Plus its 10:45am and I am in my robe, drinking coffee with a cat in my lap and The Cutest Dog In The World asleep right next to me. My new boss is really cool, and the work is really interesting. Yay! Makes me really happy about the future.

RT 2) There was some SERIOUS drama at my old job last week. It was awful. One of those times when you are just disgusted with how petty people can be. I was smacked in the face with the realization that people are a lot more shallow than I thought, and that I have fewer actual friends than I thought. I try really hard at work to be positive and friendly. I know I don't always succeed but I would NEVER be mean just for shits and giggles. It really hurt my feelings to learn these lessons and leave on that kind of note. But whatev, they can take their lame dead-end jobs and shove it. I'm done.

RT 3) WS and I looked at an apartment last week and are looking at another this week. It was so fun, and I am now really excited about this move. I am looking forward to a bigger place with a second bedroom for my office. I am looking forward to living with WS and his dog. Hopefully we can find a good place, but right now it looks like we are going to have to choose between location and layout/amenities. I have never had to make that call, and I am not sure what to do.

RT 4) Last night WS said we would be engaged before Aug 13th. Eeek! That is really coming up soon. Then today I heard about this thing called Brides Against Breast Cancer. It is a big dress show, where you can buy dresses for huge discounts and the money goes towards BC research. It is coming to a city really close to me in mid-Sept. I am going to talk to my Mom about going, since my Aunt is currently battling BC. Her Mastectomy is tomorrow (was supposed to be Friday but she got sick). I love her so much, and I want to do EVERYTHING I can to show her support. I am planning on training for the Race For The Cure, and going with her and her daughter to get pink ribbon tattoos. Family is so important to me, and I have always been really close to her. Anyway, I am excited about the dress thing since I know I will be on a tight budget, and don't have any real expectations/specific dreams about a dress and it will help BC. If anyone knows anyone else dress shopping, pass on the word! The website is http://bridesagainstbreastcancer.org/. It goes to a lot of different cities.

RT 5) WS and I went to THE MOST AMAZING brunch place EVER yesterday. I was so lame and exhausted all weekend. I did nothing but sleep, which is unlike me. The brunch thing really cheered me up and made me happy. I love finding fun local places to support. This economy really has me thinking about where I choose to spend my money, there are so many places that need the business. I would much rather spend it at a place that supports local farmers/food merchants than a chain. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Plus I enjoy discovering new reasons to appreciate my city, since I complain about it enough!
