I’ve spent this weekend getting things packed up and starting to clean the house. It feels good to go through my things and purge what I don’t need. I’ve continued to play the game where I put shitty furniture on my lawn and watch people screech to a stop, pull over and pack it away in their trunks. One person on a bicycle even stopped and tried to balance my TV stand on their...
Not guilty
I need to get used to the idea that I deserve the good things that happen to me.
Two things
A) Third round tomorrow: I really hope this isn’t all for nothing. I want this so much.

My mom made me join because she thinks if I pin things, she can get ideas about what to get me for Christmas. I’ve been avoiding it because it was a little too cutesy for me, but ugggh I can’t stop clicking! And it inspired me to bake cookies. Who am I?

I’ve been trying not to take a side on the whole ‘Occupy Wall Street’ thing because I agree and disagree with a lot of it, but college debt hits really close to home. I remember this time last...

Dryer (had a repairman come out and fix it. he was nice and then he handed me the bill. $134?????????? why.)
Straightening iron (bit the bullet, because have you SEEN this hair? and yeah that was another $130.)

Front door requires...
