Lover messaged me this morning asking for a good burger place for her non-date tonight. I suggested Burger & Beer Joint and immediately began craving a thunder road. So I messaged favorite cousin and invited her on an adventure. As per our typical adventures, we got lost.

Lunch's deliciousness was followed by free Monster and a trip to our favorite Starbucks. No adventure is complete without a stop there on the way home.

We discussed going on an adventure with Sadaf and how her friends see me at Whole Foods all the time. I guess I have an addiction. We also discussed how classy our family is and how we come from a long line of rednecks lol.

I love following packages on FedEx and I'm always so happy when things come in the mail. Tonight will be all about me, unless if I find something more exciting to do.

Happy Saturday!!

Critical Mass stole all my friends. I want to go line dancing.

I made an absolutely delicious dinner for my lady loves - pork with mango-peach salsa, jasmine rice and cuban bread. All this deliciousness was served with tropical fruit chardonnay. Yum yum yum.

I learned today that I cannot post blogs from my iPhone. I think I need to find a new blogger app.

Four. {regarding music and memories}

Have you ever noticed that there are certain songs that take you back to certain memories? Like vividly. No matter how many times you hear it, what environment you're in, how you feel at that moment, who you're with... None of that matters. You remember what that song meant years ago. You remember the smell of the room, the way you felt at that moment. I think its crazy that the mind does that.

There are certain songs by Silverchair and whole albums by Coheed & Cambria that I can't even listen to. They take me back to a time I don't want to remember, feelings I've fought to forget.

Then there is Portishead and Massive Attack. Those are memories that I don't mind reliving over and over and over. I love that the sounds of those bands have nothing but amazing memories attached. I clearly remember the lack of sleep, the feel of nails, jiu jitsu (and its purpose in the bedroom), and coming down with a case of the feelings. I remember listening to the bands that would be at Ultra and talking about how amazing those two days were going to be. Sometimes I wonder what changed and how things would have been different had I made a move sooner. What would have happened if I admitted how I felt when I was asked the first time? The roommate says we wouldn't be together now, but I don't about that. His wifey is definitely a lucky girl.

I'm going to the Santana concert on Sunday (part of one of my goals; concert 2/3 for the year!) and I need to brush up on his music. I'm going to go let myself fall into the rhythm of a guitar while I try to finish up my work here for the day.

Find a song and feel it. I always do.

I forgot to mention that I'm considering becoming a Passion Party Consultant.

Talk about sex and make money for it? Yes, please!

Last night I was faced with a moral dilemma. You can read all about in in my tumblr (). I am still indifferent and don't feel like keeping the wallet would have been a bad thing. C'est la vie.

The Santana concert is on Sunday and Lilly, Ivan and I still hadn't gotten tickets. I think we had pretty much decided on doing the 4-pack of tickets or just not going. Today I decided to check the LiveNation site and guess what concert was on the $10 ticket list! Ten dollar tickets make life so much better. I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend. Especially since tomorrow is my Friday and will be celebrated with $1.50 cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Yum!

I'm really not looking forward to tonight's session with my little one. This whole pay cut thing is turning me off to therapy in general. I need to find someone willing to supervise my hours so I can sit for the exam. Plus, her mom emailed me and told me that things have been terrible this week. I hate reintroducing skills and having to start over.

I feel like this blog isn't as cool as the things I used to post in my LiveJournal. I was such a great writer and had such beautiful things to say. What happened? Its only day 3, I have a whole year ahead of me to make things better.

two. {nobody really cares if you're miserable, so you might as well be happy - cynthia nelms}

The quote in the title is saving me from being a very angry person today.

Today was check pickup day at my behavior place and I was expecting a MUCH bigger check than what I received. I was told that it was based on new insurance contracts and that my BCBA supervisor was supposed to have told me about this back in MARCH. I was never told about these changes, and Mr. Director's response was pretty much "too bad, so sad." AND my contract still has my original pay rate in it. I'm looking in to all the details of Breach of Contract lawsuits. Hmmm...

On a happier note, I have an hour left of work and Pretty Little Liars AND Make It Or Break It are on tonight. I hope Jess and Kaleena have figured out what to make for dinner; I'm a hungry hippo today. I also watched an incredibly amazing episode of True Blood. This show always leaves me thinking the same thing: "OMG! WTF?!" Damn cliffhanger endings. THAT must be how they keep me coming back.

I got a reminder email from the airline today about my trip to see Julie next month. I'm super excited and can't wait to be in the air! I'm also looking forward to Philly Cheese Steaks, camping and roller coasters with my best friend. I just saw her a few months ago, but it seems like its been forever. We don't seem to be talking as much as we used to and that makes me sad. I don't know if its the distance or the fact that she has a boyfriend nearby that takes up her time, but there's definitely a problem.

I also did something completely out of character, just to see how it turns out. We'll see what happens with that.

The Amazing August Countdown begins:
August 1 - Santana (still a maybe)
August 6 - Back to a normal work schedule
August 19 - Maroon 5
August 26-31 - Philly
51 behavior hours = $$$ (but not as much as I used to make) = LONDON FUND!

There is only 40 minutes left of work, so I feel like I should go be productive and finish the things I have been putting off all day.

Remember, no one cares if you're miserable so be happy damnit!

desi posted this thing on her tumblr about 101 things you want to do in 1001 days. one of my 101 things is to blog daily for a year. i guess this counts as my first post.

i know that a few of the other things i put on my list are actually going to be completed within the next few months (go to 3 concerts a year, visit julie once a year, finish applying for grad school, retake the GRE, etc...) and some are in the works (a trip to see the shuttle launch, drink around the world in epcot, family vacations, planning london 2012). i guess this will be good for me and attempting to make and keep goals.

the other 100 things i want to do in the next 1000 days can be found here: http://dayzeroproject.com/user/stacitheblondie
