Hmm whats new with me?
I was driving around yesterday, in the rain, without the music on in my car.
I rarely ever do this. I started thinking about how incredibly lucky I am and how great life has been to me in these recent months. I was remembering all of the great people that I have in my life that love and appreciate me for who I am, and not what I can do for them. I thought about how supportive my parents have been not only my whole life, but especially the last few years. Its amazing nobody ever told me I couldnt something just because I was a girl. Apparently, Im rather alone in this. Begin Rant. We were discussing this very point in my Leadership class last semester. Im quite young for the career that I have and I think that my teacher was quite blown away by my professional demeanor. We were talking about the Glass Ceiling in class and about how women are regressing back into the old mentality about what they are and arent capable of doing. I say its horse shit. These days, if you cant recognize that its 2004 and start making changes for YOURSELF, I have no patience for you. End Rant.
I love the fall season here in Pittsburgh, I think the red leaves are my favourite. Its a time for change and metamorphosis. Its this time of year that reminds me that I have no excuse no excuse to remain stagnant and self loathing.
On the boy front, I dont think that I could be happier. We had a long discussion about our exes last night and I think it was much needed. We both agreed to take things slow and now I think we have a better insight into why. I think hes my boyfriend. For all intents and purposes, he sure is. He said the nicest thing to me yesterday. I cant remember the exact phrase, but it went something like this: Things are different with you. When you walk in the door I dont just want to be all over you and jump your bones, I actually want to talk to you. I have a certain level of respect for you, and your brain makes you even more attractive to me. I think I wanted to cry. I never thought that I would get over my ex - that nightmare went on for almost three years. And while the ex is still in my life, there is a totally different dynamic to my feelings for him and our relationship in general. I can honestly say that Im not in love with him anymore. I think I have about as much closure as Im going to getIm ready to enjoy a new love and a new endeavor. Our favorite porn star is dancing at a local club here, he called and wanted to come up from Baltimore to go I think Id rather have a nice night at home with new Boy. This will be the first free Saturday that hes had in about a month. Heh. Decisions, Decisions. Whats a girl to do?
Ive got two huge tests this week, in addition to a grueling week at work. For those of you that dont knowIm an accountant and also a full time student. I just cannot get motivated this semester. Ive only got one more to go after this to get my Bachelors and I just keep truckin on. I will be the first in my family to graduate, so its kind of a big deal for me.
I am up for a promotion at work. Could mean an extra 6-10 grand a year. Keep your fingers crossed for me, this could really make or break my financial situation. I deserve it, damnit. Im good enough, smart enough and gosh darnit people like me.errr, most of the time.
The good news is, I think my old boss (whom adores me) is doing the interviewing. Im fairly certain I will at least be able to get the extra 6, but Im pulling for the extra 10. I guess Ill have to wait and see who else applies. But a little well wishing never hurt anyone! It will be a holly jolly Christmas if I get this promotion, not so much if I dont.
Im writing all of this from the Laundromat please excuse the rambling
