Goodness Gracious it's been a while since I've posted and I do apologize for that.  Let's see where to begin....
How about September 14th.
WHAT A DAY!
I flew home and surprised SOO many people!  Dad had tears in his eyes, Mrs. Elligers was ... well... lets just say she was shocked all right... church had NO idea I was coming home... and it was just amazing!!!

I loved every minute of being home!  In fact, I didn't really even miss Disney.  Don't get me wrong, I missed my friends... but certainly not Disney itself.  Disney is fun, but the 'magic' gets old pretty quick.
I painted with Mrs. Elligers, went out to dinner with Maureen, Helga, and the family.. Saw MELISSA, who I've been pretty much missing like crazy cuz I need her crazy ass keeping me in line.

Then... it was time to come back... and well that just sucked. But I've had a great week since then... got to work convention and get paid overtime .... hung out with my roommates and have surprisingly had NO DRAMA this week... we'll see how long this keeps up...

I cleaned our room... so lindsey wouldn't have a fit...
our apartment inspection is on Thursday, so tomorrow I'll be cleaning like CRAZY while the others are at work... we wnat that white glove award!!! You can pass, or you can pass with flying colors! WHITE GLOVE AWARD HERE WE COME!!!

so yea. thats about it!
oh. I miss home.

So I've come to a big conclusion....

Life is full of unexpected things, and you're not going to like everything it has to throw at you...

However, I've learned a few things with living on my own for a month...

1.  There is a world outside of Windsor and Enfield, CT.
2.  My parents have set me up with a great foundation- even though I hated paying my own car    
     insurance, I guess thats what taught me how to budget my money... haven't gone broke yet being on          
     my own...
3.  Friends come and go, but the best friends are the ones who call you everyday telling you their                  
     problems and how much they miss you.
4.  This world is expensive to live in, and I should be grateful for everything my parents and family have        
     been able to provide for me.
5.  I love my family more now, and have a greater appreciation for them, being so far away from them.
6.  People aren't always what they seem... so even though the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" is
     usually used in the sense of people being "negative" on the outside... we should really consider the
     it both ways.

Just my thoughts....

I don't even know...

Well, the first cat fight has occurred... sad to say.  It didn't have to be like that.  Maggie and I do not get along, well actually, no one gets along with her really... I just happen to be the only one who has put in a sincere effort in getting along with her.  I have gone out with her 2-3 times and each time just find myself becoming annoyed with her.  All it becomes, is constant complaining... and feel sorry for me garbage.  Well she lashed out at me last night with rude comments and started to talk about me behind my back.  When I confronted her this morning, she at first, would not speak to me. When she finally agreed to sit down and have a civil conversation, I was the only one sitting, and the only one civil.  All I got was a bunch of eye rolling, and ugh's, and negative comments, blaming everything on me.  So whatever, I had a bad day today about it feeling sorry for her and myself, but have come to the realization that I can control this situation by how I let it effect me. I'm not going to let this effect me anymore.  I'm going to be positive cheery, and upbeat like always. I plan to ignore her rude comments and looks and go about my day like a Minnie Mouse should =)

Missing home... which is probably a huge part of why I let this affect me so much today. Hopefully that will be resolved sooner rather than later with people coming to visit me.
