balance

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:24:54 -0800

I have blogged a million times about the power of three and how it's such a blessing that I get a plethora of perspectives because all of my friends are so different from each other. And it's not that we're different, it's that we balance each ot...

getting over myself

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:39:12 -0800

I love when Sher uses the phrase "get over myself". I feel like I need to do that all the time, but it takes a lot to get me there, usually, a big old shove works...but not always. I knew that when Tony and I ended, I didn't want it to be the fin...

a weekend without work

For the first time in a long time, I wasn't really looking forward to Halloween this year. I wasn't going to be at Roosevelt so I couldn't dress up as a Simpson (ok, only 3 of my friends did, but still), and I wasn't going to host the annual Hall...

crush > dating

So my crush on the cute counselor was getting stronger and I tried to actually step up last week, but I chose the weakest way to communicate...text message. Don't get me wrong, I love texting. But unless you're texting someone who really gets you...

my other sister

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:11:46 -0700

My cousin Missy has had a hell of a year. Take what I've gone through and multiply it by a hundred times more pain and that's what she's been through. I mean, out of all the cousins, she was the closest to our grandpa. She spent the most time...

wishful thinking

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 01:19:27 -0700

All week long I've been waiting for this wedding. Ok, maybe longer than that, maybe I've been waiting 4 years for it, just like everyone else in "The Office" fan club. Even though they're fictional TV characters, I kept getting emotional during t...

the cute counselor

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 15:22:46 -0700

So I noticed this guy way back in July when I met with the principal of his school. He's cute, tall and dresses nicely and I thought he'd be perfect for my fake sister Nancy. When I did the training for his school in Palm Springs, he offered me h...

sigh.

It's been a rough week. I almost quit my job yesterday. It's a long story and I don't even want to type or think about it anymore. But I got a raise and I'm staying. I'm going to start tutoring still, but there are several prospects on the horiz...

a different kind of unbirthday...

nobody@vox.com(EmpressE) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 16:17:33 -0700

So according to my favorite blog (single-ish on glamour.com) it's national singles week from september 20-26 every year. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? What exactly does this mean? Why is there even such a thing? Does this mean all of my ma...
