At least you still have your phone. I lost my iphone last night and I got a text from my landlord (before I lost the phone, obviously) telling me that he isn't renewing our lease at the end of the month because my roomate (who is my ex-girlfriend) wont stop smoking cigarettes and pot in our house. If I wasn't so hungover I'd probably be beating a hobo to death as we speak.
Li'l Bandit made a new Lego movie with his Nintendo 3DS last night. It's about an astronaut who arrives on a new planet and is greeted by a confusing life form. He has a bunch more of these, I'm just having trouble getting the sound to work. If anyone out there has any experience with this stuff, please message me. EDIT: What the hell? Why isn't the video embedding? Well, you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIjgUVh6BfU&feature=youtu.be
I think step one in operation get the hell out of the midwest is almost complete. I went on my husband's company website and found a job similar to what he is doing now in Denver (OK, so it is still kind of midwest, but it's not the Plains), and he has agreed to look into it. He is bringing up all the normal concerns like the pain in the ass of selling a house, moving, buying a house, etc. But, as I told him, unless I plan on dying in this house (which I don't) it will have to be done at some point. We don't have kids to worry about. I want a new job, so if I am starting over anyway, seems like a good time to take the plunge and move to a city I think I would enjoy more. And if he transfered within the same company, it would lessen the blow of leaving everything comfortable and familiar behind. I just know that if we keep waiting for the "right" time, it just is never going to happen. I am already looking at houses online in less suburban areas than we live in here in KC. They also have a similar job opening in LA, but fuck that.
Random thoughts: I unapologetically love George Michael. I drank so so much last night at a bachelorette party. I am not so much hungover as have horrible heart burn that is still kicking despite tums, omeprazole, and chicken noodle soup. I am almost ready to just try some more booze. Husband looked at the job and it isn't something that he would be interested in. I WILL DIE HERE IN THESE KANSAS SUBURBS.
Lately, I've been a bit down, due to my 40th birthday, and thinking about life in general, and the mistakes I've made. So I'd like to thank you, mya, for reminding me that no matter how down I get: at least I won't die in Kansas. It's the little things. It really is.
Well, apparently he has been holding out on me. He doesn't necessarily have to stay here to do his current job AND he is looking at houses online in Denver and emailing the ones that he likes. So, it is looking less likely that I will die in the Kansas suburbs. I hope I didn't ruin that brief fleeting moment of joy for you. Now how in the fuck do you go about doing such a thing? I would need to sell the current house, find a job while living 9 hours away, and find a new home. What is the proper sequencing of events? Well, I am nothing if not determined when I decide on something.
Im kind of sad the Olympics are over. It's nice to have a positive distraction on TV. Now it's back to the day in and day out of this shitacular snake venom presidential election. Worst part of living in a battle ground state is the ever constant barrage of political adds. I hate living in Ohio sometimes.
Ehh, Cincinnati is no better or worse than your average city. There are bars and people drinking in those bars trying to rub genitals. I really don't know what else it's all about anyway. Plus it doesn't have that pretentious doucheness of the coasts.
Huh, I don't really ever hear anything bad about Denver. My friends there absolutely love it. I'm a fan as well, but I'm really a fan of anywhere besides Kansas and Oklahoma. And most of Texas. Arizona too. I think finding where I want to live is just going to be a slow process of elimination.
