Found out my little crush is on a 30 year old (maybe 31?). I had convinced myself that he was probably only 29. I’m 23. THIRTY just sounds crazy. Even 29 was seriously stretching it. But 30? Ah. He has lost some of his appeal. Damn. (It was not a practical crush in the least bit anyway. Just wishful thinking / happy staring.)

The problem with losing weight (not intentionally, so a happy surprise) is that the hell-of-a-deal dress that I bought ~2 months ago for my friend’s wedding suddenly has extra space in the chest area. I decided to give it one last bedroom-fashion-show before the big day (next Saturday) and realized I really need to take it in about an inch. Fortunately it’ll be an easy fix because of...

I’ve been “rapping” random lines of that Jay-Z / Kanye song for the past four hours. Mothafuckas wanna find me. That shit cray. What she order? Fish fillet. If I was him, I woulda married Mary-Kate and Ashley. God help me.

A teenager at my internship used the term ‘getting white boy wasted’ today when asked about his prior use of alcohol. He is not white. Which was his point, I suppose. The lead therapist laughed out loud. Which is very fortunate, because so did I.

When you end a therapy session (that is supervised; as in it being watched live / recorded so it can be watched later) with a particularly grueling couple and your supervisor stops you on your way out and says “hang around a minute, I have something I want to say to you”… you pretty much feel like you’re going to throw up. Not to mention you’re starving and...

new hair
I can’t take normal pictures, let’s just face it. And it’s actually shorter than that since I’m leaning forward and my laptop is laying on my bed. oh and for comparison; this was my hair about two months ago (and it obviously had not been cut until now)…

I just cut off all of my hair. Okay. Like, 8 inches worth. To the chin. Pictures to come.

Dinner at Bonefish Grill. Black cherry guava mojito. Bang bang shrimp. Delicious.

Today I turned 23. I went to work. And to intern. And to class. I made myself dinner at 8PM. And then ate a slice of leftover peanut-butter pie that I made for a function last night. Basically this means that I’m officially old. (sidenote: the people in my life don’t completely suck or anything.. my family celebrated early and i’m going out with my best friends tomorrow)

I might be a little offended that my roommate and her boyfriend took their Valentine’s day dinner up to her room to eat (I’m doing homework in the living room, which is connected to the kitchen/dining area). But I’m not at all offended that their idea of a romantic dinner is picking up Dominos and a bagged salad.

Happy Valentine’s Day to myself: - Worked at my GA from 8-10 - Worked at my internship from 10-4 - Came home and finished a paper - Made myself pasta/sauce and garlic bread - Currently eating pretzel M&Ms for dessert

I have never had a “call me the second you get there” mother. She always wanted to know where I was going (or had gone) and who would be there (or was there), but she was never overprotective. I think it was a good balance.  My roommate’s boyfriend’s mother just called him to verify that he had “made it down (here)”. An hour and a half away. He is 23 years old....

yay or nay?
This is my hair. Like, a month ago.   This is what I am considering doing to my hair. Really, my concern is just that my hair is ridiculously thick. Obviously thick + short = poofy. I’ve always cut my own hair though. So I was hoping if I actually let a “professional” do it, they may be able to thin it out to wear I could get away with this short of a ‘do. What do we...

I had a very lazy day yesterday. I felt bad at first, but it was much needed. It was the first time I’ve stayed at my apartment on a weekend since the last week of September. Ever since my mom got diagnosed, I always drive the 2 hours to her house, stay the weekend, and then drive the 2 hours back. It’s just my routine now but I desperately needed a sit-on-the-couch kind of Saturday. I...

Why I actually LIKE working my GA hours on a Friday morning: - I can arrive at 8AM and find a parking space without a problem. - I don’t have class/interning afterwards, so I can wear a hoodie and jeans.  - My boss/professor does supervision hours, so he’s busy and cannot ask questions / give me extra stuff to do (Don’t get me wrong, I actually really like him. But I don’t...

The top half of my thumb got smashed in a door at work today. A ‘fire safe’ door or whatever that weighs a zillion pounds and SLAMS no matter how gentle you try to be with it. It still hurts. Boo.

Being born and raised in Jersey, I’m probably supposed to have turned out a Giants fan. I don’t care about the NFL though, so I don’t care who wins the superbowl either. If I had to pick a team, I would probably say Giants, mainly just because something about the Patriots is obnoxious to me. So there you have it. I’ll say Go Giants. It’s currently 9-9 at the end of...

Channing Tatum hosting SNL? I’m willing to give that a chance. I can only think of one time I’ve really seen him interviewed (on Ellen) but he was considerably funny, and that was on his own. (eta: Nevermind. Fell asleep during the first commercial break.)

I brought a textbook down the hall with me. I was going to, you know, read some chapters for class. Then Blue Crush came on. New plan. Whoops.

Attending a Bridal Tea Party at 10:30AM. Really? Noon would have been too late?

Today a ~15 year old boy at my internship referred to me as ‘the pretty lady’ when I arrived. I’m still not sure whether to be flattered that he called me pretty or saddened that he thinks I’m old enough (at 22) to be called a ‘lady’. Not that ‘lady’ is equal to ‘old hag’ or anything, but I feel like teenagers either think you’re...
