Wandering WiFi

So I realize I have been seriously neglecting this. So this is to hopefully make up for everything I haven't said in the last month. And it's been a doozy of a month.

Let's start with Happy New Year. New Year's Eve was a shit show. I was hanging out with some friends. New and good friends. And I was asleep by 11. I have never felt so old in my life. In my defense, I had to be to work at 8am on New Years Day.

My ex, one I have previously mentioned, Shawn, well, he and I have been talking a lot the last month. Non stop text messages and some phone tag. I really wish we had taken the time to get to know each other like this before we moved in together. Maybe things would not have gone down in flames the way they did. But at least now I am getting the chance to have him as a friend. And he is an amazing friend at that.

My Sister and our other roommate have both moved out, and I now have my own apt. It's nice. I have wanted to live alone for a long time, but it's really quiet sometimes, and I do miss my sister a lot. So now I am working on furnishing my apt. All I have are two desks, a book case, an air mattress and two camp chairs. I feel like a total bachelorette. :]

This morning I finished all the paperwork necessary to finally go to school. I am hoping to start in July. I can't wait. As soon as I was done I called my Dad. It made me feel 17 again. A responsible mature 17. It was a nice feeling.

Work is going well. I really love my job. Although some of my coworkers are ridiculous. Some of the things that happens in that place are just insane. But I still look forward to work everyday. So no complaints in that department.

And I am down two dress sizes. But according to my scale I am only down a few pounds. It's weird. But I'll take it! :)

Well, that's all for now. That's just a general update. Nothing too exciting has happened to me. Yet.

You Are My Manhattan From The Sky.

Sometimes, you find yourself in good company, with too much alcohol, and loose lips. Luckily last night went well. As I sat a table with one person I knew and ten I didn't, I realized that maybe all you have to do is smile and breathe.

I have never been good at making friends. Acquaintances maybe, but all my good, solid, whole-hearted friends, I have known since I was 12. Maybe I am scared to let people in, maybe I am a complete loser. I have no idea, but I do know that St Louis is my new start. Everything is so different here, I really feel like a lived a completely different life in New York. I feel comfortable here. To be silly and fun, and myself.

Today I woke up to a pounding headache, and a phone full of drunk texts. Maybe the 20's are for making all your mistakes, but someone should put a breathalyzer on my cell phone.

Greetings from St Louis!

So, I have been awful about this the last few weeks. It's been almost a month since I was on here. Sorry about that. I started a fabulous new job on Black Friday, and time has been zooming by ever since.

I love living in St Louis. The city is amazing. There is always something to do. And I love living somewhere where I can take a train to and from work everyday. It's pretty awesome. [Although I have a deathly fear said train will fall off the tracks above the highway one morning, but I just hate bridges with a fire that burns deep in my soul.] The job I have is pretty amazing. I love it. I am waiting tables yet again, but it's fun, easy, and I really do enjoy it. Not to mention, I work with some pretty amazing girls. And my boss is a total Zombie freak, so it's pretty rad.

Christmas is coming up pretty quick. And it's going to suck. It's the first year I have been away from my family. And I miss my mom and dad a lot. I am hoping to go home and visit for my mom's birthday in March.

I am also hoping to get caught up on my 4 missed shoe of the week posts. So I am spending today, my first day off in a week, relaxing and looking at shoes! <3

What I'm Thankful For!

I am thankful for my family. My Dad and Stepmom who are always there no matter what I need. My Mother who always makes me laugh. My Sister, the only person who always knows what I am talking about. And everyone else in my family, my niece, my cousins, my aunts and uncles. :]

I am thankful for my friends. If I didn't have you, I would have nothing. I am thankful I don't have to spend all winter in Upstate New York weather. I am thankful for good books. I am thankful for good conversation. I am thankful for a roof over my head.

There are so many things in my life that I am thankful for. Far too many to list. And I am thankful for you taking the time to care what I have to say. :]

Living my life... finally.

So I have been a complete schmuck about writing lately. It's been an intense week. I finally moved out of the house I was living in, and it was just awkward the last week I was there. I felt like a prisoner. Every time I talked to them about when I was leaving they would just change the topic or come up with reasons to keep me there longer. It was a little insane. I finally got out last Friday. I almost had to call a hostage negotiator.

In other news, weight news, I have been the same weight for 9 days. At least I haven't gained anything, that's what matters to me! Anyway, just wanted to post a quick update. I have about 5 or 6 things I need to post in the next few days. So many funny things I saw while out and about in St Louis!

Shoe Of The Week!

Aldo Shoes style Pucket. 80 dollars.

I would buy a whole new wardrobe to go with these shoes. I saw them in the store and fell in love. They also come in a blue multi. These would be awesome to spice up your little black dresses come work holiday party season!

Skinny Bitch Update!

So, I get on the scale for the first time in two days, and I am thrilled I did. I am shedding all the water weight I was holding. This low carb diet is fabulous. They say for every pound of carbohydrates stored in your body, you are holding onto a gallon of water! That's 8 pounds of water weight! Up until last week all I ate was carbs. Now that I see how quick the weight can shed without them, I will definitely not be near them anymore!

All I can see when I close my eyes are visions of me in size 10 jeans, a cashmere sweater, and those awesome buckled boots from Charlotte Russe! I am so happy I finally broke my stupid weight! :)
