New Chapters and New Beginnings

by starzskymoon on August 31, 2010

I have been talking for quite some time now about moving to the city.  Which city is the key that I had yet to figure out. With my new found freedom of singlehood, I no longer have ties to the small town I currently call home. That’s why I’m going to make the step to moving closer to DC.  I may still eventually move to New York or Chicago, which are the top two cities on my list in the US, but this will be the first go round for myself. I’ll figure out if I’m really built for the lifestyle and if I can deal with the fast pace it seems to offer.

But there are other things besides those items above that I am looking forward to.  I’ll have a better quality of life. Growing up and living my whole life in a small town, I know about half of the people walking down the street on any given day.  Many people move here because that’s what they’re looking for.  I, in the other hand, am a social butterfly. I want to spread my wings, meet new people every single day, and be able to say hi to a hundred strangers while walking down the street.

And yes, while I do also enjoy working for the small firm I currently work for, I also would like to experience working for a nationwide firm.

I may come out hating it; I may come out loving it, but either way, I will have discovered a little bit more about myself.

Here’s to you, Washington, DC. I’ll be seeing you soon.

Bachelorette Life

by starzskymoon on August 23, 2010

I am the queen of bachelorette living right now.  My house has zero food, except for a large pizza I won at the soccer game I sang at . . . last Thursday.  Yeah, I think that needs to go.

Until last night, I had been pushing every ounce of toothpaste out of my tube for the past two weeks.  I have half a roll of toilet paper left.  My paper towel roll is down to about five sheets.

Yes, this is my life these days.  I’m never home.  I work all day, coach soccer by night and hit the high life on the weekends with the ladies in DC.

Quite frankly, it’s been the most amazing time of my life.  The past four months have been a time of reflection for me and a time for me to focus on . . . well, ME.  It’s been awesome because I forgot how awesome I was!  HA.  That’s a little confidence for you, right? ;)   And I’m finally free.

Regardless, my life needs to progress.  I am me.  I have found myself again and I have found what I want most: to move to the City.  I have spoken about doing this for quite some time, whether it were Chicago or NYC or DC.  I need the city life.  I love it.  I thrive off it.

But don’t worry about me.  I took care of everything.  I bought new toothpaste, toilet paper and paper towels last night.  Hell, I even thought about my dogs and got them more dog food (before we ran out!!! no perogies for these pups this month!).  Yes, I’m on a roll.  Watch out.

It’s Not Okay

08.10.2010

No, people, it is NOT okay to suck face with someone else (or more) in public places.  I’m not talking a small peck on the lips.  I’m talking full-fledged tongue on tongue. It reminds me of my grandmother trying to eat a chicken wing with no dentures.  Slobber everywhere.  *shudders* If you’re drunk, I might [...]

Social Media: The Best Outlet Thus Far

08.09.2010

For many of you, social media is a way of life; a way to pay the bills; a way to get through the day-to-day routines. For me, it’s an outlet.  One that allows me to network, reach out to those people I otherwise would have no connection to and, surprisingly, make new friendships that may [...]

The Beauty of Nature

07.26.2010

From 130 PM on Friday afternoon until 11 PM Saturday was probably the best time I’ve had in a long time . . . regardless fo the fact that 16 hours of that was spent in a car. Hammock camping, rocking out to some randomly weird music my friend Mal adores and driving through a [...]

I Need Honesty . . . Honestly

07.22.2010

Let me get down and dirty when I have to say how annoyed I get when you’re “talking” (yes, “talking” as in the “I possibly might want to date you” sense) to someone and they make the implications that they’re not “talking” or “seeing” anyone else, when in reality they are (and no, @brywvu842jets, this [...]

What’s Wrong with this Picture?

07.21.2010

Am I not smart enough? Cute enough? A good conversationalist? Why can’t I find a good man? It seems every one I date is a tool bag, or rather turns into one, and those that seem nice enough to be on my pick list either aren’t interested or are already seeing someone. Does anyone out [...]

Birthday Recap

07.20.2010

I promise I didn’t die over the weekend, although I was sure my friends were attempting to make that happen. Anywho, my birthday weekend was an absolute blast and I owe it all to my wonderful, spectacular friends.  Although I have to admit, I was a little disappointed because those friends of mine whom I [...]
