The Return of the Wandering Redhead

Almost forgot about this for a while, but now that my life has been stabilized for many months, figured I may as well start back up! All in all, things have been pretty swell, so onto the lists!

Things I Hate
Work
Torturing myself through other people's wedding albums
Everyone my age getting married
My lack of motivation this week
Boys who never call back
Dogs who eat underwear

Things I Love
BBQ of all kinds
Summer weather when AC is available
Plane rides only because people can't reach you for a set period of time
Eating (considering a competitive streak here)
Movies in the park season coming up!
My apartment and roomie hangouts
Cape-like shirts
Meeting new people

I guess i thought there was a lot more i loved lately....but this looks like its it for now. Another day i'm sure i'll have more enthusiastic and interesting tales to tell...but until then!!

I've Been Gone Since November.....

In deciding to go a bit outside my box today, don't want to create any lists. Just want to write and get it all out there. As usual I hate people who talk and it seems to be the only thing I'm surrounded by. I tell someone something, and they can't help but open their big mouth and tell someone else that in turn gets back to someone...and blah blah blah. I have to make changes in my life ASAP because this is getting old and everyone around me is getting old. That's all for now, but i shall do a fuller update sometime soon because i miss it and its been a few months!

I'm stuck in this rut I fell into by mistake

So when things get better, they inevitably fall right back down in my life. My list is mainly hates today so...

Things I Hate
Liars
My own jealousy
Gossip
Drama
Being ignored
Feeling like I'm invisible
Being stressed and unmotivated all at the same time
My anger that builds up and I can't get out
Friends who aren't actually my friends and when i finally realize i could never trust them, ever.

Its been a while.....

Its been quite a while since I had time to think about even writing a new entry. Spring is the time for new beginnings and that's just what I intend on doing. I finally found a place I can move to back in the city, so I no longer have to commute 4 hours a day from CT! Success! With that though comes planning and packing, which I haven't started yet and I'll be moving in 6 days, sooooo guess I should get to that! Today will be a shorter entry and shorter list, but from here on out, I plan on writing more and more about my new adventures and all that lies ahead....


Things I Hate
Buses (especially when they either catch on fire or break down twice when you're just trying to get home from a weekend trip)
Packing
Saying goodbyes
Humidity

Things I Love
Steak
Flirting with strangers
Flip Flops
Fun nail polish colors
Living in the moment

The week of ups and downs

Ever have one of those weeks when everything goes great on Monday, then your entire world comes crashing down on Tuesday? This week was one of those. Disturbing phone calls, text messages from one of the things I hate took place on Tuesday and prevented me from sleeping, getting about 3 hours if that, and becoming a walking zombie at work on Wednesday. I finally got myself back together with tons of sleep on Thursday night, when Friday morning I get to work and get yet again another disturbing text message which led me to fall apart at my desk, in my office, and unable to work for a few hours. Needless to say, I was having the most PHENOMENAL Friday until then and in a wonderful mood. After I finally was able to stop "watering" my desk and everything around it, I was then completely drained emotionally and mentally and was happy to say that my week was not only ruined once, but twice by the same person in one week. Awesome. Anyways.....on to the list!

Things I Hate
People who bring me down (especially through phone calls or text messages)
That I care what people think about me and that I'm not strong enough yet to just ignore it
Feeling alone no matter how many people I am surrounded by
Being ignored

Things I love
Pigtails of all kinds and how they make me look and feel like a five-year-old
Five-year-old feel good Fridays (when they are fully feel good and not just so-so)
March Madness (its almost officially here!!)
Netflix, Netflix, Netflix
When my hair is anything but straight
My star-covered high tops
My best friend and dog Brady

Tuesday February 22nd

Things I Hate
Ex boyfriends

Things I love
Ex boyfriends
Chocolate Chip mini muffins
Temporary sidewalks when construction is going on (its like a roller coaster when there's an up and down...and on 36th there totally is one! It makes the morning walk a bit more enjoyable)
Lost

Morning Thoughts

Do you ever think to yourself, wow, I'm really good at _____? Well I do! Almost every morning including today I think, I am SO good at walking. I have perfected the art of weaving on the train platform to bypass slow walkers, as well as the human game of Tetris that I'm thrown into as soon as I enter the main concourse of the terminal.  I get very frustrated by slow walkers in Grand Central who ruin my rhythm, especially when walking off the train and into the main concourse. How hard is it to put one foot after another? really?! This morning I felt like I was shuffling off to somewhere un-enjoyable - perhaps the food line in jail or off the plank on a pirate ship - just walking into the hall from the train platform. On the streets of NY I am equally as skilled, bypassing those slow walkers (at times tourists) and making the most of green lights by walking a new route everyday depending on where I can cross, etc. One day, I hope the entire human race will have the skills and know how of walking that I do, so that not one person ruins my morning and makes me want to tackle them. Now onto today's lists.

Things I Hate
That I have more than 25 friends on Facebook who felt it necessary to post that THEIR Borders was closing (Oh no!) and list how they truly had some great times there.....OK people, do you read the news and keep up with current events? Its not just YOUR Borders that's closing, its a part of 200 other stores in the US that they are closing, so please, before you post another status about how your Borders is closing and that you're so heartbroken...realize you are not alone and think twice.
Slow walkers (I think this might be a start to a trend here.....)
People not knowing who the Harlem Globetrotters are

Things I Love
How good I am at walking (I love this on a DAILY basis but will hopefully only write about it once)
Pandora (a little late to this but my office banned using it for a while)
LOST (again a few years too late...but Netflix is my new best friend and all shows I never had time to watch when they aired are now in my queue for consumption on a weekly and daily basis)
My new planner
