A million miles before Sunday

So this blog? Yeah, I haven't done such a great job at updating. At times it just feels more like work. And with everything I have piled on to my plate right now, I shudder when thinking of adding anything else. So instead I choose to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.

B/c you know, that's a really good idea.

So school - still kicking my butt. I've been wound so tight the last couple of weeks that if you looked at me wrong I would have totally bitten off your head. My dad, bless his engineer heart, doesn't know when is enough, nor how to make appropriate conversation to his stressed out daughter. And in the midst of one of our conversations last week told me "I wish we did more together" It's his trick of the trade and he plays well by giving out the guilt. But seriously telling me that when I'm nose deep in to midterms and work almost caused me to lose it. Actually, wait - yes I did lose it...

Issues with my family - ever ongoing. I'm making the trip to see my mom and redneck stepfather this weekend. It's the beginning of spring break and I've been telling my mom "I'll get up there soon" for months. So I'll suck it up and go. I love, love, love my mom. Stepdad on the other hand? Not so much. Actually not at all. Harsh? Perhaps. But given the history I'm betting that you'd agree with me on this one.

The boyfriend and I escaped last minute for another ski trip this weekend. It was wonderful. Things have been rough between us lately and we needed a break away from it all. The snow conditions - wonderful. Ski resort - better than ever. The hotel - excellent. The memories - cherished! Everything was great except for the creepy middle aged man who kept hounding us in the hot tub. Dude, shut up already!

2AM - My new best friend. We have, against my will, been spending a lot of time together lately. Frankly I'm quite sick of her.

I've got a big meeting with the boss tomorrow. The agenda - I'm fighting for more pay and they're requesting I stick around after graduation. You'd think it'd be an easy sell. "pay me more and I'll stick around after graduation" But no. Bosses, as nice as they can be, can squeeze water from pennies. Wait that's not right. Squeeze wine from water. No... Squeeze juice from an apple?

See what working, going to school and hanging out with 2AM will do to your mind?
