New Decade, New Year, 2010

Happy New Year everyone! This year is definitely going to be a year full of change. I rang in the New Year passed out in bed. I woke up at 12:02am to the sound of fireworks. I had zero plans so I figured I would just relax at home and watch some movies. New Years Day I went to the gym(go me) and relaxed around the house. It was pretty laid back. I usually don't do New Years Resolutions but I figured this is going to be a pretty important year so why not.

My New Years Resolution:

1. Get my butt back to the gym. I am not happy with my body and I need to keep myself in shape so when I come off my profile I can actually pass my PT test.
2. Start cooking at home and eating more healthy. It will also help save money since I won't be going to lunch everyday at work.
3. Get rid of the people in my life who don't need to be there. I have far too many 'friends' who only keep me around for when they need me to do something for them, but when I need them they are too busy.

That's about all. I am hoping to take a picture everyday and also blog everyday. We'll see how it goes.

Yearly Dose

Sigh.
So I went and got my yearly dose of the flu today. It sucked and is continuing to suck as I type this. I have a headache, sore throat, freezing, exhausted, and sore all over. On a plus side though I called the Jury Summons notice and I do NOT have to go in tomorrow. Oh yeah and PT now starts at 7am instead of 6:15am. Have I already talked about that? It sure is possible.
I am so unhappy with my Blogger template at the moment. I want something cute, scrapbooky, or maybe Christmas theme now. I am so bad with anything computer/html/whatever. Oh well I guess I will live and change to a PYZAM one when I find one I think is cute.
I am watching "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader" and some of these questions are nuts. I know I didn't learn any anatomy in the 3rd grade, or learn anything about Latin in the 2nd grade. Maybe education standards have changed since then but I would be getting some of these questions wrong, or at least the first one so far anyways.

6 days and counting until I sign my lease and get the keys to my apartment... Cannot wait.

Epic Night

Hrm I haven't written in a few days but I think I am still doing good.
Friday night was EPIC. We went to 4 bars that night. At bar 3 the bartender disapeared and E was thirsty so I went back behind the bar to make him a drink. Lets just say that when the FEMALE bartender came back and saw me she was less than pleased.
I convinced everyone to walk to Dowers which was about a 5-10 minute walk. While walking Hack decided to tackle me on the sidewalk. I kept telling people that by elbow hurt but no one believed me. Well today there is definitely a few scrapes on my elbow now. Dowers was awesome. You could smoke inside which was crazy and the entire time I was there I was telling everyone how happy I was to be back in NC. We told the lady running the karaoke that we had all just gotten back from Afghanistan so she let us all sing Friends in Low Places. Awesome. We took a Kamikaze shot and I didn't finish mine. I reached for my drink about 2 minutes later and the bartender had it in her hand. SHe handed it to me saying 'Hunny this is water.' She thought I was going to be mad but I told her how fucking awesome she was because I was SO thirsty. Hahaha.

We walked to Denny's and then took our food to Sully's. I was so tired and drunk I kept telling people that my mouth was too tired to eat my pancakes, and then I fell asleep. Epic night, for sure.

Thank You Jesus

So I went all last night and all day today with no word from my current landlord. I was praying, crossing my fingers, anticipating what he would say when I finally heard from him. I get home tonight and the Roomie and I were talking and kind of hanging out in the living room during one of our lets talk and be friends bouts. I decided to call my landlord and see if he had gotten my email. The conversation definitely wasn't what I was expecting at all. He appologized to me that things didn't work out and about the carpet. He asked me to not do anything with the carpet since we will be leaving so soon. He didn't ask to see her orders or anything. He said that our lease will end the day I turn our keys back over to him, and we will pay pro-rated rent to that day.

I told the Roomie and so she is trying to figure out what she wants to do with her dog. He doesn't seem to be incredibly happy here seeing as how he came from a huge farm in CT. A few of her friends offered to take him and she is also thinking of flying him back home. I didn't tell her that I have an apartment set up already but that I had talked to my old landlord and she had a place for me. I'll probably tell her about when I get the keys and such this weekend.

I am SO excited. I told her I would help her move and that she could stay with me if she wanted and she told me that the place down the street has $20 truck rentals and there is a storage place nearby as well. She also told me that a friend of hers who is also offering to keep her dog offered her to stay with him before she leaves. She really doesn't know exactly what she is/wants to do right now.

I just cannot wait to be out of this house and in my apartment. This was just proof that I am not happy with roommates. I was fine living with my ex it's just different when you're just friends or acquaintances you know? Mom said that my dad might be home the weekend I move but either way she will come and help and we can also go pick me up a Christmas tree since I won't really have anyone here this year who has a truck.

Thank you Jesus, he has definitely answered my prayers. As small and minuscule as they were I am beyond happy.

Moving on up..

My roommate is deploying so I am trying to break our lease and move back into an apartment. The only thing I am waiting on is word from my current landlord.... Please pray that he honors the military clause that he put into our lease agreement and lets us out of the lease.

I'll give a little more detail to anyone who wants to read...
Roomie is mean(my friends call her the Warden because she is always checking up on me, etc), dirty, and rude. Well she recently found out she is deploying to Iraq between 55-179 days. Well last night it dawned on me that we have a military clause in our lease agreement which would enable us to get out of our lease if one of us were to deploy. I asked her about it last night and she was a little hesitant but I assured her that I would let her stay with me at my apartment until she leaves and the when she gets back and is looking for a place. She agreed. So today I emailed my current landlord letting him know that we just found out about 2 weeks ago and I honestly do not know anyone who is looking for a place to live. I told him that she would be putting her stuff in storage since she doesn't know how long she will be gone. I also let him know that I cannot afford to pay a $1200 rent payment by myself every month and that I will need to find a new place to live. I made sure to add that this deployment caught us both by surprise since neither of us were expecting to deploy anytime soon, especially not 2 months into our new lease.
I went to my old apartments and Melodee(the landlord there) has a place for me. 2 bedroom/1 bathroom for $745. That is $20 less than I used to pay and it has a view of the lake. That apartment is normally $785 but since she likes me so much she is giving me a good deal. Also they are having this special thing right now(they used to do $99 1st months rent and $99 deposit, but they were losing so much money) where they will give you a free flat screen TV. She said she is going to try and get me between a 36" and a 47" TV. She said that she would give me the keys on Monday November 23rd and not start my rent until 1 December. She really wants me to come back. I already have 2 guy friends who said they would help move and my mom said we can use her truck and flat bed trailer. I told my Roomie that I would help her put her stuff into storage and everything as well. She leaves the 1st week of December.

So, that is longer than I thought it would be, sorry. If you made it through that you are awesome. I honestly really want this to happen. I made a huge mistake thinking I could live with a roommate. I am so unhappy and dread being home, when I am home I stay in my room and try to avoid her as much as I can because I am just so annoyed. Before we moved in she told me she was very clean, but I don't believe it anymore. I found dog food on our stove, when her dog goes through the trash and drags it on the carpet she leaves it there, she doesn't clean out either of the 2 litter boxes she has for her cats so they smell horrible. Plus she is always, always, checking up on me. I cannot leave the house for 10 minutes without getting a 'Where are you?" text. She is always telling people at work things I say/do, makes fun of me about the problems I have with my chest and basically say that she thinks I am faking, and is always telling people she is going to kick my @ss. I am going insane. I know this is all so tiny and small compared to things going on in a lot of other ladies lives right now but if you could spare the smallest prayer I would appreciate it so much. If things don't work out in my favor it is going to be a very long 10 months. I am so done with roommates though, I swear I will not have another roommate until I am married.

It's been a long time coming

Roomie asked me to go out with her to the bar last night and at the time I was definitely not feeling like doing anything so I said no. Well a few hours later my friends Sully and Belly invited me to the movies and I said yes and then proceeded to sneak out of my house like I was 15 and living at home.

I got up somewhat early this morning to go looking for a Vegas type dress with my mom. I am going to a work Christmas party with her in a couple weeks. I didn't find any dresses that I liked but I found another pea coat(I tried to find a picture, its black w/pink&white stripes), some lip gloss, some underwear, a pair of jeans, and a pair of pajama pants. I am going to look at Forever 21 for a dress this weekened probably.

I got home from that and my Roomie was not home(she just got home about 10 minutes ago). The smell in my room was SO incredibly bad I was feeling pretty sick so I moved a bunch of my stuff down to my extra bedroom downstairs. It's not too bad, small but it works until the carpet gets cleaned or replaced. Oh so where I was going with this, Roomie has not said a word or texted me a thing since I told her I wasn't going to go out with her. She didn't even reply when I told her that. She is so damn bi-polar it isn't even funny.

Ian came home on midtour a week and a half ago. That was awkward because he was dating our friend Jen. Well he told me while he was here he didn't love me anymore. Well he IMed me tonight telling me he made a mistake and loves me and will do anything to be with me and wants to marry me and bring me to Germany with him. Not going to happen. I think that is all for today.

Freezing

So I really don't have much of anything to write but figured I should write something.

I don't even remember the last thing I wrote about. Hmm, I moved and live with my roommate now(which I hate BTW). Why did I ever think I could have a roommate? WHo knows. She is getting deployed soon and I am hoping she gets extended so that by the time she gets back we have barely any time left on our lease. Her dog is destroying shit and I am allergic to her 2 cats.


Hmm not much else. Just annoyed with my roommate situation. I am laying in bed in sweatpants and a sweatshirt under 3 blankets, thats how cold it is.
