Pandora

I discovered Pandora working late nights at big law.  (I know..I'm out of the loop.)  My fav is "No Doubt radio"...it seems to bring up many of the 90's songs I gre up with.  Fan...huge fan.

Dating

So I am somewhat recently out of a serious 2 year relationship and more recently out of a different 2 month relationship.  To that end, I havent been on a date in about a month.  Last night I ran into a guy I knew growing up (we weren't friends...he was super cute and super cool...much too cool for my 2 years younger and much less attractive and less cool self).  He was trashed...to the point of literally speaking incoherently. 

Fast forward to tonight where he facebook messages me at 8:30 pm to see what I am doing tonight.  I'm sorry, but what exactly about me would suggest that I am going to jump to go out with you when you ask at EIGHT THIRTY at night???  Perhaps you could have messaged me this afternoon?

I do hope this is not what I have to look forward to getting back into the dating world at 28...

So Far So Good

The new job is going well so far.  Its nice not to have to bill every second of my day and not to worry whether I have enough hours at the end of the day to stay on track.

Don't know yet whether I will like the work..still wading through the HR muddle.  Everyone was really nice though.  One downside is that a lot of my coworkers seem to live out of town...not so good for a newly single girl with just a few friends in town.

However, as I was walking down the hall today, I was overcome with the feeling that things will work out.  Maybe (probably) not the way I expected, and unfortunately probably not on my timetable, but I do think that they will work out the way that they are supposed to.

Good Weekend

Overall a pretty darn good weekend :) 

First--I got the job!!! :)

Second--Got the bff moved...hoping not to have to move again anytime soon!

Found out a birthday party is being planned for me...quite excited about this as I have not had a birthday party in a verrry long time :)

Still no word on the job...starting to get nervous :/.  I really want this one...although the pay is less than I hoped for...the perks and benefits more than make up for it. 

The guy situation remains dismal...haven't had ANY prospects...sigh.

Went to dinner last night with A...had a lot of fun and walked around stores looking at Christmas decorations after.  I love her and I love hearing about her marital bliss (although she does feel stuck in a "rut)...I just wish I had someone so we could go out as a foursome.

Started back to the gym and LOVING it.  It really feels like going home again.

Out of town for the weekend to help C (the best friend/ex) move and clean his apartment.

Starting Over

Its been quite a journey.  Somewhere during high school I created a plan: graduate high school, graduate college, graduate law school, get engaged, work for a year, get married, live happily ever after.  And I did that...right up until I had the ring on my finger and realized that I just wasn't ready.  So I ran.  Worked in BigLaw for 2 years...met a guy...broke up with him...and here I am.

Back home, waiting on an offer for a non-traditional law job and trying to start over as a single 27 (almost 28) year old.  Is it scary?  Hell yes!  But I believe things will get better: I will find the right man to spend the rest of my life with; I will find a job that does not slowly waste away my life; I will find happiness.  and I will document it here :)
