"Set adrift on memory bliss "

decided to read through old entries from my xanga and here's some amusing ones:

September 11, 2007
i watched bananas ripen today
that's how long I've been at work. It was green when I got in...it's almost yellow now.

March 25, 2007
several thousand documents later....
and i'm still working.......


here's a little intense one:


December 16, 2006
oops i did it again
i thought i graduated from making a fool out of myself after a little too much intake of alcohol when i graduated from college but boy was i wrong. i'm definitely not proud of what happened and i know i won't hear the end of this for a while....i'm also definitely not looking forward to going back to work on monday not just because of this incident but also because of the overflowing work load..... i just hope i handle myself well tomorrow...i for one will no longer live my life with regrets...i know this happened for a purpose and i will come out stronger and will have to rethink certain choices that i have made. this newly found motivation to if not completely quit but even at least slow down because i think i may have a slight problem (which most of you will probably agree that i do) is a good thing, so i just hope i get support from my friends. it was weird being the only sober one last night and i have to admit that i didn't have as much fun but i now realize where my problem stems from, i think i drink, and i drink a lot because it gives me a feeling of not being myself completely.....although i don't like to make excuses for myself because i am a grown woman and i need to own up to the consequences of my actions, embedded insecurities that i thought i have long gotten rid of , continue to exist. i'm just glad i acquired this realization before i end up with a REAL problem and more drastic consequences.

it's always interesting to see how far you've come...i'm glad i have these to look back to especially during nights when you don't feel your best, think that you're not so strong after all, and overall just feeling a little down.

my sister totally made my day :)

i've been physically and mentally drained the past couple of days..it feels like i just started a new job..it's exciting and fun but at the same time, i find myself feeling so exhausted...when i get busy like this, sometimes i let work take over me..and sometimes i forget to take care of myself and often hurt those that i really care about.i even snapped at marc a few times yesterday and we ended up fighting over something totally stupid and i realized this morning that i should probably apologize....

today i decided that i will take a full hour to myself to pay my bills, check my emails, handle random things online etc....just to calm down a bit and relax a little....then i decided to look through my blog subscriptions and she just totally melted my heart....what she doesn't know is how truly amazing and admirable she is...at the age of 16, with such maturity and grace, she's accomplished so much with her life and i'm so proud of the kind, loving person that she's become.

reminiscing

Today is babe's jr. prom... she looked absolutely adorable!!! I'll post pictures later...everything turned out great, her shoes, the dress, the accessories, the hair and makeup..oh yeah and the nails! aww she's all grown up....

Helping her get ready got me all reminiscing about my junior prom, it seems like ages ago being 16, all excited to get all pretty-fied HAHA... that was a fun night. We were all stressed out about everything from the lady that did my hair and messing it up, to not having enough money to my dad waiting for me at may's house so he can pick me up and make sure i don't go anywhere else lol! But at the end of the day the memories was all worth it :)

eating unhealthy
not working out
laying around the house
not doing anything productive but just watching tv
