that I currently spend more time stressing about work then I get paid for...
that I'm currently obsessed with my newest book because it relates to my life (true story)...
that I got tipsy on a Sunday night and stayed at country bar until 2am. (only sorry that I had to work the next day and was reminded that I'm almost 30)
that my online shopping needs to stop SOON (after KLR releases their fall clothes)
In other news...back to my obsessesion on the book I'm reading...my life in a nutshell at the moment:
The other day I was talking to my bestie and was explaining to her my lack of desire (as I've gotten older) to make new friends. To put in effort. To get to know people. I love all my current friends. I don't need new ones. But as my social life turned into Saturday nights vegging out on CheezIts and Chips/guacomole while watching Say Yes to the Dress, I realized my I don't need new friends idea wasn't working.
I do have friends here, don't get me wrong. Just none that I have met on my own, that live and breathe TN, and that weren't part of the CA to TN journey too.
I have been fortunate enough to be introduced to some great ladies that have made this journey as well. And I am sooooooo thankful for them. We can vent about the same frustrations about living somewhere new, getting lost on a daily basis, meeting new people, work, etc. And our other halves have the same crazy work schedule that leaves us with more time to hang out with each other. BUT, they all have kids. I love their kids, and love being around family normalcy that kids bring. But that also means they don't have the open weekend schedule like me. I can't meet up for ladies breakfast at 10:00am while kids are at school because I'm at work. So our hangouts aren't as frequent as one would like when Josh is working two weekends a month leaving this girl with too much free time.
I need that motivation, that drive to want to get out of my comfort zone and start meeting new people. I mean, five months in....I should have earned one friend on my own right? Or maybe not. People don't go hanging out downtown at bars alone to meet friends right? That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
So for now, since that motivation hasn't shown up yet, I'll continue reading MWF Seeking BFF and nodding the entire time because I can totally relate. Or I'll sign up for the Beer Making Class being hosted at Univ. of TN that I kind of sort of seriously joked with Josh about taking. (Of course I couldn't end this post without mentioning beer).
Until next time...hopefully that means sooner rather than later. Unless I'm too busy with all my new friends.
