Contrast

December 23rd, 2007

This week has been one emotional roller coaster.  On one hand, Sam was in town, I graduated, and tomorrow I leave for Hawaii.  On the other hand, Dan and I broke up today.  I don’t have the emotional strength to go into detail on any of these accounts at the moment, I just wanted to leave my mark on the internet one more time before I leave since I don’t know if I’ll have internet access in Hawaii.  Hopefully I will return renewed.

Inseparable

I just woke up from a dream in which I lost my cell phone.  I was so upset that I figured out how to TRAVEL BACK IN TIME to go back and find it.  Now that is some serious Sidekick dedication.

More Realistic Wish List

December 8th, 2007

Ok, ok, force me to browse around online for hours for things that I want that don’t cost $400. What a bunch of hardasses.

I could use a few of these to spruce up the walls of my very first apartment of my own.

And I could lend an organized and clutter-free look to that new apartment with some of these.

I’ve been wanting one of these for a few years now, especially since I won’t have much time to cook nutritious meals in grad school. And maybe a cookbook to go with it?

Of course, there is always the aforementioned knee-length cream-colored wool coat. I’d probably fit a large.

Oh, and I can’t believe I still don’t own this. It’s only my favorite Disney movie of all time.

Well I hope that helps! If anyone needs more ideas, I’d be happy to spend a couple more hours doing more internet shopping. *wink*

Something Is Wrong With This Picture…

December 4th, 2007

It’s December.  It’s 2:20 in the morning.  It has to be at least 50 degrees outside.

Huh?

Abstract Becomes Tangible

December 1st, 2007

My my, where DOES the time go? You should see my actual (poor, neglected) diary… it’s been almost a year.

I spent Thanksgiving in Rhode Island with my favorite cousin and her new baby.  I haven’t uploaded any pics onto my computer yet, but trust me, she’s precious.  I knit her a little hat out of some peach and white alpaca yarn my mom had but it was too big to fit her itty bitty head.  Guess she’ll just have to wear it next year!  We also got to go shopping in Boston, and I know I don’t have to tell anyone how much I enjoyed that.  Helloooo, $25 tunic sweater at H&M!  Rhode Island was actually very quaint and lovely… it definitely goes on my List of Places I Could Stand to Live if I Can’t Live in Denver.

I also finished my grad school applications!  On my way out of the post office I got this rush of I-can’t-believe-this-is-actually-going-to-happen feelings.  I got the same feeling yesterday when I bought my cap and gown for graduation.  Up until now, my career as a physical therapist has always been this abstract, far off in the future thing.  Are you actually telling me that in six months I could be starting graduate school?  Scary.  I feel good about my chances of getting in, but pray to your god(s), cross your fingers, cast your spells, mail me rabbits’ feet and/or four-leaf clovers.  Imagine the guilt you will feel if you don’t do it and I don’t get in!  (Because obviously it would be YOUR fault, not mine.)

Time to catch the bus downtown for my free cheeseburger (oh, the perks of dating the manager!) and shopping for desperately-needed new jeans.  Kisses.
