so. it's been awhile. like almost 6 months since i've blogged. that's just a little bit crazy, don't you think? i do...hee hee.

this year has been just that...a little bit crazy. there's been so much that's happened i wouldn't even know where to start...some of it has been good, some of it has been bad, some of it has been both bad and good...some of it i never thought would happen...some of what's going on right now i still can't believe is happening...life is weird like that, you know?

so yesterday i was in a bit of a funk, i'm not even going to lie about it. went through the day, blah. went to 2nd job, very blah as we had, probably, a grand total of 10 customers in the 4 hours i was there. anyway. fast forward to last night. my boss man let me borrow his computer (thank you very much boss man) and so i came home and started playing on facebook...yesterday i became a fan of ryan adams on the fb just cause there are 2 of his songs that i like a whole whole whole lot. one is kind of comical, the other is very sad. they're both on the heartbreaker cd, but that's neither here nor there.

so i'm on facebook and a friend is leaving me comments about ryan adams. finally we decide we should just actually talk instead of comment/fb message. it was so funny because of the way that things worked out for us in getting to speak yesterday. it's been a few months (umm...more than a few actually) since we've talked but whatevs. it's all gravy. we ended up talking and laughing for almost 2 hours last night! it was great. of course, it probably didn't help that we didn't actually get on the phone until almost 11 o'clock so it was almost 1 a.m. by the time we were finished. but it was so great. we laughed about many things, and how hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20. we talked about romatic "adventures" (for me 2007, for her 2008) and how we thank God daily that those years are both over. (i do, really thank God that 2007 is over and that that guy is gone. truly.) it's just so funny how similar we as women are, ya know? goodness.

saturday i'm thankful for heatherdp and her friendship. also, i got to sleep in today and it wasn't too late and i don't feel like i've been run over by a truck, WOO HOO!

saturday had a reunion of the promotions department of the radio station where i used to work...now, if you know anything about me then you know that i mostly hated working at the radio station...i mostly hated working at the radio station because once i went into the sales side it wasn't nearly as fun as it was in promotions. my friend michael from high school helped me to get that job and i still to this day thank him for that because it ultimately lead me to working full time at the station (i'm still thankful that i had a job...even if it wasn't my cup o' tea). anyway. saturday night was a reunion of people, some of whom i haven't seen since i left in 2005...talk about your blasts from the past! it was a very fun night, and although i had to cut out early, i'm thankful that i got to go and see my peeps.

sunday i got to go back to dallas! who knew i'd ever be so glad to be getting back? but...i definitely was! and i'm thankful that my aforementioned friend michael from high school let me make some cds...most excellent for the trip back. (i'd forgotten when i was making them thursday night that a few days earlier i'd bought a dave sedaris book on tape for the ride back...whoops)

monday i had to go to the endocrinologist for a check up (we like to meet every 3 months or so...gotta love that ) and there was some freezing rain happening. not only was there freezing rain happening, but guess who didn't fill up her car upon her arrival back into town? let me just share something with you real quick...usually it takes about 3/4 of a tank or so to drive from htizzle to big d or visa versa...however, if i don't start with a completely full tank then it seems to take even more...ah well...anyway so sunday night (that's right, sunday night) my car dinged and my "e" light came on loud and proud to let me know that i was about to be out of gasoline. well, after unloading my car and doing various other things i decided i would just stop on the way to the doctor's office the next morning to get some. um yeah. except that i was running a few minutes late because (are you ready....I'M A WUSS WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVING IN ANYTHING OTHER THAN PERFECT CONDITIONS) of the freezing rain. awesome. praise God i made it to the dr's office, with my light blaring at me the whole time. i knew of a good (re:cheap & dependable) gas station a few miles away so i was praying that i would make it to the gas station...and i did. OH. not to mention...my visit with the dr actually went better than i thought it would. the more i go see her the more i like her.

today as we all know sometimes i can be a bit of a moron. luckily, in case you hadn't picked up on this from reading the blog yet-i know a lot of good people. so today we (boss lady, co-worker, and myself) went to lunch. no biggie, nothing fancy we just went to lunch. i forgot my wallet. i'd taken it out of my purse to get a dp earlier and had failed to put it back in it's place. i don't ever do this!!! so our checks come and we get ready to pay and when i realized that i didn't have my wallet i wanted to beat my head on the table. seriously. i don't ever do this. my co-worker realized exactly what was going on (she'd actually taken my wallet earlier to get me the dp) and knew that my wallet was still sitting on my desk...she just looked at me and laughed and said, "you can buy me lunch sometime." ahhh. thanks baptist_nun. you rock.  

we're only on day 6 of this year and i have much to be thankful for.
