I think I'm long overdue for an update! Okay maybe not LONG overdue, but definitely overdue. It's funny because I'll think of things that I want to blog about, but then I never actually sit down and write a blog. Where to begin? Well my last update was around the middle of April so I'll start there.
We hired a new guy at work. I've been really busy basically keeping an eye on him, since a lot of what he does affects my job. I've been trying to make sure nothing falls through the cracks, and "train" him on parts of my job as applicable to help him understand the grand scheme of things. There have been some suspicious things going on... things that get "missed" or "overlooked"... I'm starting to think the guy has a really bad memory or something. It's frustrating and it's made for a busy month or so at work, along with the fact that we're heading into our busy season. I trust that things will work themselves out eventually though... they always do...
At the end of April I had the most fantastic, random night out! I started drinking after work and ended up at a bar with a guy from work and a couple of guys I'd just met. We finished a Titanic pitcher of beer, I got mom to come pick me up, then I went in to work on my day off--hungover--for a meeting. It was truly epic--something I couldn't normally see myself doing. That's been the ongoing theme of the past couple of months... trying to leave my comfort zone and do things I wouldn't normally do. And I've even met a few really cool people along the way! I've been having a lot of fun overall and the best part of summer is yet to come!!
The next couple of weeks are bound to be fantastic, so I started it off with a bang last night by hosting a little get-together. It worked out great because my cranky neighbor just finished moving out and the new renters started moving in today. Talk about perfect timing! Last night was a great time with great people--some of whom I haven't seen since Christmas--hard to believe! I truly feel like I'm back in the groove and ready to have some fun this summer! It's going to be another low-budget summer because I'm still not sure how much my brewery shares are going to cost me. That's the last big thing left on my plate--hopefully for a while. Anyway I'm trying to continue saving money to pay off debt, put some personal touches on my condo, and still have fun along the way. Overall it's been pretty smooth sailing... knock on wood.
I have to admit I've been having a tough time lately regarding my mom. I found out today that not only did she borrow $140 from me last month, but she also borrowed $400 from my aunt who can't afford to be lending out that kind of money. It's got me really frustrated/upset... but I think it's also given me the motivation I need to cut the apron strings and stop being her safety net. Basically she's lost in this fantasy world where money will fall in her lap and everything will be taken care of... and I feel like I'm being sucked into it all. I'm young... and although she's my mother, I have my whole life ahead of me and I can't let it get screwed up because she's wasted half of hers chasing unrealisic dreams and waiting for someone else to take care of her. I just wish she'd wake up and smell the coffee and realize that she's spending too much on rent and not working enough hours to pay the bills. She could easily make some life changes but lacks the motivation and desire to do so, because living in this fantasy world is much easier.
Anyway enough about that... I feel better now! The next couple of weeks are going to be a whirlwind, then I get my wisdom teeth out on June 17th :S Luckily there are some fun times between now and then so I shouldn't have too much time to freak out about it!
Looking forward to the kick-off to Summer 2010!!
