Thick and Unyielding: Hardy Plants, Resumes, and Priorities

Old spice commercials are oddly funny and sometimes just odd.

I killed the replacement flower for Jorge's valentine flower that he gave me. I like watering my plants. I just need hardy plants that can handle me not that need to be handled.

I am brushing up my resume. Going to go after the lunch rush to Coco Bolos, Houlihans, and a few more places. I also want to go talk to Olive Garden about when I transfer to AZ.

Did you know if you apply and get a job at Target you will have to take a pee test? I hardly drink and never do drugs but I have no desire to pee in a cup...messy business. Not appealing.

I don't think I am going to Mexico in July, it might be August. We both are a little downhearted about it. He has caught a cold. I wish I was there to take care of him. Rub vicks on his chest and make him hot tea. He is so close to having enough money to open his restaurant He is 2,000 MXN pesos short, or 200 American dollars. I am not sure what this means for us but it makes me happy he is close to his dream. He talked about it a lot when we were together. He would run a good clean business. Maybe it could expand to the US? Who knows where things will lead?

I decided not to go home for Miss Michael's Birthday party. I feel like the worst aunt in the world, but talked to Thomas this morning and made me feel a bit better about it.

Dog sitting this next week. Not looking forward to the gas I will us getting to and from work but the hot tub will be nice.

Priorities, funny how they change over the course of your life. How friends come and go. I feel like my priorities have changed rapidly back and here and there over the last year. Its been a bit of a roller coaster, mind fuck and an emotional mess. It's just funny, I go to college and made ''NEW" friends, they say those are the friends you keep for life; however, it's interesting to see how many of them I have kept.

Idk, I see that R and V are having a weekend together. I honestly haven't talked to either, like really talked to them in months. They are in cahoots, as my father would say. I know Vicky has been on a diet and weight loss regime but she hasn't talked to me about it. Which is fine I know Rhona and her have been keeping super tight, probably since I have introduced a new priority into my life, Jorge. It's fine...well it bothers me a little or otherwise I wouldn't be talking about it. They say they are friends for life, ride or die...just funny how priorities change.

I have a certain set of girls that I could call without seeing or talking too in months, and yet we could pick right back up where we left off, like not a day has gone by. Its perfect. We all get that things are going on in each others lives and yet we know if we really need one another we are there for each other. Life one drunken night when lack of sleep, food and too much drink lead to a little vomit and utter emotional break down outside of a saloon and my real girls got me back to my house and into my bed. Love them.

If you would have asked me this time last year where I saw myself in a year, I would have said, I will be accepted in a graduate program, still single, far from wanting kids, not working for Darden anymore....Ha, how life has changed.

Life has changed.

People come and go, but they are in your life for a reason, some longer than others. Some to teach you lessons you otherwise might not have learned.

Love, B
