I always go on kicks of writing in my blog until I overwork myself with school and work. It has been FOREVER since I've been on here. I hate that, because then I try to go through my week and remember what happened. Last week I worked 6 days... I seriously NEVER want to do that again. Although I did happen to save enough money for rent last week! Maybe I'll just suck it up every once in a while! Kendra and I have also been able to balance our work life and "fun" life. We have no officially made friends with EVERYONE at Killarney's. Even the girls that didn't like Kendra because she is pretty and their boyfriends watch. It's nice to have a friend like her, when I am with her, I feel better. She is a genuine friend and I feel like whenever I would need her, she would be here with me. And of course, VIS VERSA! It's nice being so far away from home, and be able to have another best friend "added to my wolfpack" haha.

We've been looking for places like CRAZY. Kendra, Christine, and I are moving out March 1st. It is so exciting and I honestly can NOT wait. I know that locks me into Orange County for another year, but so far I'm enjoying myself here. It is so difficult though, we want to put a deposit down on a place soon, but financially it is impossible. I have been more responsible with my money since I was forced to grow up in college. I worked and went to school, and lived off pay check to pay check. I would even skip my last few classes during the end of the month, just to pick up shifts so I could live in my apartment. Sad I know, but it taught me to prioritize and save money when I can. With Caper coming up in less than 3 weeks, I want to enjoy my time there and not have to worry about what I can and can't do while I'm there. I will figure out our deposit another time!

I saw Bud the day before he went back to Colorado. It was a surprise to say the least that I would see him, let alone want to see him. It sounds dramatic, and for a while it may have been, but I've been trying to let any bad feelings go. Majority of my friends think I'm an idiot, even some of my family, but I know what is right for myself. Once I saw him, I felt how I use to, and maybe he'll always have that over me, but it was nice to see him. He then told me he's back into town the 25th of this month. 5 DAYS?! Well that isn't much time to get my priorities in order, and even just a month ago I would have been so excited. I can't decide what I am, but I know that either way, we're always going to be in each other's life. He's helped me a lot when I've needed it and vis versa. I'd like to think that, this alone would be enough reason to be life long friends. I'll enjoy my time until there isn't anymore...

Ok, so I haven't REALLY posted in a few days. I've been out of control busy with work and school, doing 50 hours in only 4 days. I was feeling like a crazy person tonight because I knew that tomorrow I have off of work. My first mess up... I got yelled at. But I'm over it. So far I'm really enjoying my job, we've had John Elway come in more than 3 times now. Plus I've been trying the food more regularly and bringing it home in exchange for gelato from Christine's work. (so worth it). But I'm finally starting to enjoy work, and be less nervous. School is always great, I am trying to sell product bags to pay for my way to an event in Vegas. There are hands on classes, motivational speakers, a party and awesome networking possibilities. I have NO IDEA what or where I will be once I graduate, but I know this will only further my skills and be an amazing opportunity to succeed in my profession.

I can't even remember most of my week because it feels semi like a blur, but also because I can't think of anything other than that BUD IS COMING TO TOWN. It's more like a kidnapping, because I'm using force, but not too much force. I'd like to think that he's as excited as I am. It's been since the beginning of September that I've seen him, which seems a lot longer now that I say it out loud. Sometimes I feel crazy, dating someone that lives so far away, but I come back to how awesome my life is now, and how I want to share it with someone. He wont be coming until Friday the 13th (oooo, scary) but I will probably continue to countdown until he gets here.

Also, Friday the 13th is To Write Love On Her Arms day, and from 12:00pm-4:00pm. We can support people who have been trapped by depression and addiction by writing "LOVE" on our body during that time. This organization is so special to me, not because I have ever been depressed, but my family is personally affected by it. I think anyway to get the word out and have a vision to help people struggling with life, is so important because so many people are affected by this. It just has a soft spot in my heart. I already have Love tattooed on me, but I plan on writing all over my body to show my support.

"The vision is the possibility that your best days are ahead.

The vision is the possibility that we're more loved than we'll ever know.

The vision is hope, and hope is real.

You are not alone, and this is not the end of your story.

Rescue is Possible." - TW<3OHA

I have been lazy lazy this weekend. Thank goodness. I'm getting a chance to finally breathe after working and school. I'm excited to be busy because it will keep my mind from wandering all over the place. Plus it's something I honestly love. When I'm not busy, I wish I was. work-o-holic much?

Yesterday Sarah and I enjoyed HB's soccer game (and she whooped by the way) and her brother and his fiance's wedding shower. They are the sweetest couple, and Sarah was giving them such a hard time! I am very excited for their Nov. 7th wedding... I honestly can't say that many people don't enjoy weddings. This one will need a flask though, with the small amount of booze that will be served. I could never understand why people have DRY weddings, other than for religious reason's I guess. But even then, I don't think I would deprive my guest of a good time even if I didn't agree with it. I'm just saying...

After the shower, Sarah and I enjoyed scary movies and sweet tea vodka lemonades all evening. A late run for Mcy D's and Cherry on Top was definitely necessary. Plus we were hungry-ish. Today will include studying for my shift Monday night, and finishing my laundry. I surprisingly can see my floor now... last night was another story, but there are NO clothes on my floor. Maybe I will keep this room clean forever, maybe.
