updates on me (nothing crazy)

just thought I'd recap since I've been vague-posting for like 2 weeks.  First, both our cars need to be replaced, so we aren't going to be able to move now because that's going to eat up our savings for the deposit and moving expenses.  That's honestly fine with me, as I've said here many times I love where we are.  Now we're going to really redecorate the apartment and try to make it more homey, and save up for a few more years before we buy a house.  I'm actually please with how this all turned out.

The federal case I've been working on with that friend from law school is all screwed up for reasons beyond my control, it's stressing me out but I hope it's done soon.

Work is just bad. I'm a desk jockey and I refuse to do this the rest of my life. I will literally become a chicken farmer (goat farmer? got any tips for me @goatlady12? ;) ) or maybe I will move to a beach and sell jewelry made from seashells and driftwood. (It's Friday afternoon...my brain is getting crazy...humor me)

I got food poisoning Sunday after just barely getting over a month-long flu.  Ugh!

Trying to finish my novel, I'm really happy with it so far but I underestimated how hard it is to finish a novel.  I wanted to produce one per quarter, now it's looking like I'll be lucky to get 3 out a year.  Oh well, progress is progress.

My college roommates planned a trip to our college town and invited me at the last second.  I said no.  I'm really getting too old to be dealing with that kind of crap, either you want to be my friend or not, it's cool either way.  

I think that's it?  Anyhow like I said, nothing big, but I feel like everyday for 2 weeks I've been vaguely referencing things going on in my life, so thought I'd update those of you who were curious.

Cookies for everyone for reading

Re: updates on me (nothing crazy)

  • Coooooooooooookies.

    So sorry about the food poisoning following your flu! Yikes!! 

    And I'm glad you're happy with the way things turned out home-wise for you. What kind of cars did you end up getting? 

    Sorry that your college friends invited you last minute. I think you made the right decision, seems like they're still not terribly mature.

  • I can't believe you got food poisoning.  You can't catch a break!  I hope your health is on the mend!!

    New cars are exciting :) What are you thinking about getting?

    I am sorry that you won't be able to buy a home soon, but think about all the money that you'll be able to save while you're living in your apartment.  Enjoy making the apartment more of your own!  Please share pictures. 
  • Ugh when it rains it pours! I hope you feel better and get good deals on cars. Everything for a reason. I'm a big believer of everything for a reason. Your meant to stay there for a bit longer.

  • Ugh geez...

    I'm glad that you're at peace with the whole house thing. I hope you're loving your new cars!

    Booo to food poisoning!

    I totally feel you on the terrible job thing.

    I hope that things will be looking up for you soon. Lately, the ladies of this board could use some rays of sunshine!

  • Thanks, ladies.  You always know how to cheer me up :)<3

  • I can't believe that you got food poisoning right after the flu.  WTF?

    I am also wondering what cars you guys went for.

    I hope things get better with the job.  I'm just picturing when you quit and they ask you why.

    my read shelf:
    Cathy (CathyL7910)'s book recommendations, liked quotes, book clubs, book trivia, book lists (read shelf)
  • I'm glad you are finally on the med after the craziness of the flu and then food poisoning. Yikes. 

    I hope the new cars are awesome.

  • I'm sorry you ran into car trouble, but having a new car is always nice.

    I hope you guys have fun redecorating your apartment and feel free to share pics once it's all done!

    Hope you're feeling 100% back to normal and stay happy and healthy to enjoy the nicer weather out!

    You could be a bum like me and just quit your job. Lol.
    Glad you're feeling better.
    Also I know just the place where you can get goats to start your farming career. No chickens they stink and aren't very smart!
