I BOUGHT A PAINTING. MMMM YES. I’m pretty excited about it. I cleared off my wall and now I’m just wainting for my daddy to help me hang it up. Its soo amazing. The kid that painted it is pretty cool. It was totally worth it.
Snow. Yuck. Tired. Yuck. Boys. Yuck. Bruce Springsteen’s Working on a Dream. AMAZING. ‘Nuff said.

Today was Justin’s funeral. Oh man. That was actually really crazy. I think for people to truly get how weird this is I should give a little background. I have TONS of cousins. My dad is one of 8 children therefore I have lots of cousins. Within 1984-1990 we had quite a few of us grandchildren born. Tiffany was first followed by Justin(4 1/2-5 months later). Then there came...

Forget about the sunshine when its gone
I just don’t want to go to classes today. I feel soo tired. Last night I texted Jimmy in a weak moment and said it felt weird not talking to him. He texted me back saying that we would talk sometime in the near future. I then texted him okay and that School was crazy and I have a funeral I have to go to and I just kind of felt alone. Nothing in return from him. I guess I really don’t...

I love my bosses and the team of girls I work with. They’ve rearranged schedules so I can be at Justin’s funeral. Kacey even offered to work my saturday shift for me. They’re amazing. I watched the inauguration today. Gosh, that was soo amazing. I’m so glad to be alive right now. It just moved me. School is getting super crazy. I have a lot of stuff I have to do for my...

Chris and Jason left Kacey, Olivia, and myself alone to see how well we could handle the band and dear God you should know that we did SUPER awesome. Well after running, running, running, for a long time it became 8 or so and Liz came to get some coffee with me. we hung out with the girls and that was super fun. OH I...

Oh wow. Yesterday was the first day since I’ve had my tumblr that I haven’t posted an update. I’m pretty impressed with myself. I had a bunch of odd dreams last night. Just odd dreams. Not odd like “impossible! that can’t happen!” but odd like “oh shit, that really could happen.” Eh. I hate dreams like that. I believe that sometimes your dreams are...

I don’t think I like my logic class. The prof is one of those profs that would rather call on people randomly rather than allow people to raise their hands to answer. That’s annoying. I hate looking like an idgmo. haha. It snowed today. All day. Over and over again. I hate driving in the snow. I had to drive to classes(blah) and home…and then to work and then home. I don’t...

I hope you pick yourself up again.
I hate getting up at 7 am. hate it. oh well. I’ll have to get over that. I had the pleasure of driving in morning rush hour downtown on west st and michigan. STUPID. Must remember to give myself extra time for that. The keyboarding class was decent. I think I’ll be able to get along well with this prof. After that I bounced over to the bean cup and picked up my tips from last week(we...

Today was the first day of classes. Bllllaarrrgh. Is all I can really force myself to say. haha. It was long and it didn’t help that this morning I threw up the entire contents of my stomach after eating breakfast. BLASTED STOMACH. And before any hot rumors grow from this no, I’m not pregnant. hahahaha. Classes were pretty boring. I always hate the first few days of classes because you...

"...I'm saving lives here...too busy for laundry"
I wasn’t strong. I cried…after he left. Its okay. A friend of mine came over and watched Young Frankenstein with me later on in the evening. This morning I woke up and did what I had to do. I ended up buying a new moleskine planner(yayyyy. it was 50% off thank you B&N) and a cute little tote bag that is supposed to be able to hold 50 lbs. I think its great because I carry a whole...

Today so far has been pretty good. I went into work from 9 until 1…well I stayed until 1:30 because we got slammed with a lunch crowd. It was pretty fun. I did the dishes. haha. I also made Miss Dee her drink today so that was special. Now I just need to make Darren his Oompa Loompa so I’m really his barista. haha. I’m really enjoying it there. I’m going to do just fine....

Today is a little bit better. Its only hard when you have a dream in the middle of the night and you wake up only to realize it was just a dream; everything is still the same. Yuck. I don’t have to work today so I’m taking advantage of that and reading part of the coffee book(taking notes, I mean business), playing with my inspiration book(magazine clippings…mmmmmm. I <3...

I’m not stupid. Hes not stupid either. we’ll be okay as friends eventually. One day I’ll look back at this and I’ll be able to appreciate what happened and forget about how bad it hurt. Or maybe I’ll remember that part. He stayed on the phone with me for 2 or 3 hours and let me cry and scream and freak out and calm down. He promised not to disappear on me but he is...

Work was great. I’m catching on. I got to color our live music board for the week. That was cool. I had a talk with someone. It didn’t go well. I expected more out of him than I’ve expect out of anyone in my life. I felt like I could have loved him my whole life which I’ve never been able to imagine before. I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Now I feel used and stupid for...

Day two at the bean cup was really good. OH man. I had a great time. We had a techie group come in. I got to make a few different drinks which was good. I managed to make a drink all by myself without any directions. Oh yeah! haha. I also made a few other drinks with help like “try this” or “instead of doing that, try this way.” I love it already. My hands smell of espresso...
Today was pretty uneventful. I didn’t really have anything planned and I avoid stirring up trouble on Sundays. True story. I’m considering baking cupcakes tomorrow or sometime very very soon. I got this amazing cookbook for Christmas and I’m itching to try out some of the recipees. I just need people to bake for. This is when it would be handy to have a definite special someone....

Um. Did anyone watch the colts game? Can someone say bullshit? Okay. Now that we’ve got that cleared up heh. Today was my first day at the Bean Cup. Um, it was super fun. I definitely spent a lot of time making espresso shots. I had to do lots of practice because espresso shots are extremely tempermental. I could go into all the crazy information about shots(Grade, tamping, and more fun...

I was supposed to go out with an old friend today. Alas, the stomach is upset. Mom and I were joking that it was me detoxing from my pain meds that I was on for my surgery. By George, we could be right. haha. I only started feeling this crappy once I stopped taking them and folks I can honestly say that I took a “shit ton” for a lack of a better term. If this happens tomorrow I’m...

Its been another extremely lazy day at my house. I layed around finishing Guernica by David Boiling. It was decent. I realized that it was his first novel so I wasn’t expecting too terribly much. There were moments that could have been elaborated on and others that could have been shortened or even deleted. The one thing that did erk me was his epilogue. It was one of those epilogues that...
