Blog #43 - New Year, Same Shit (lol)

So, let's see. It's Saturday, the 2nd Saturday in 2011 and to be real, not much has really changed. I'm sitting here on my laptop at the dance studio, just blogging and looking at how this snow is going to aggravate my life today. What's new? Well, let's discuss!

New Job - so, I started working for this pharmaceutical company on the 21st of December and I really like it a lot. It's a lot of work, but nothing that I'm not willing to do. I'm learning new things everyday, which makes it good. I'm becoming a bigger beast in Excel than I was before. The girl training me is fabulous and my project manager is nice too. It's a temp-to-perm, so hopefully I can get to perm status pretty fast and they'll want to make me perm. That's about it on that front.

Love Life - this is where it's getting a little tricky. So, I cut off a lot of people at the end of 2010 (especially because I got a new phone and lost people's phone numbers - not that I even care, actually). I'm just being single and going out on dates and liking it. It's kind of a nice thing. I don't owe anything to anyone and I'm not obligated to anyone, which is nice - but, I won't say that I don't want to be in a relationship, though. I've been conversing with an ex from back in the day and we've just been having long ass random conversations and one of those conversations was on how we both want to settle down and all that other jazz, especially since he told his babies mom to go fuck herself. He actually told me that he's shocked that I'm not settled down because I'm such a good catch, which shocked the shit out of me. Never expected to hear those words come out of his mouth. Being the nosy chick I am, I asked what makes me a good catch and he said "Shit, that's easy. You're BEAUTIFUL for one. Not to mention you're a ride or die chick. Great sense of humor and have a heart of gold and that's just off the top of my head". It sounds really odd coming from him, but I definitely appreciate it. I wonder if he thought that of me when we went out or if it was a recent revelation...lol. Anywho...so, I got an email from Mr. Chicago man the other day, which REALLY threw me off because the last time I heard from him was before Thanksgiving. I sent him an email wishing him a happy Thanksgiving and then left it at that because I thought he was getting back with his ex-wife for the sake of his son. Turns out, not so much. If what he said in his most recent email is true - she's an unnecessary bitch and fails at life. He said once things get settled, he would try to come back out to Jersey and see me - not that I believe it because, quite frankly, I don't believe anything these dudes say these days. He said when we met, it felt like a movie and...I can't even front. It actually did. Thinking about it still makes me smile. Don't know if that makes me a cornball or whatever but...it was a good memory and time when he was here and that's that.

And, I'm getting ready to get out of here, so...adios, amigos! Maybe I'll edit it or post another blog later.
