| August 29 - I want to apologize for the gaps in writing but I don't have the time. Work is ridiculous. You know, I like the job, but not enough to devote 70-80 hours a week on it. I did have an epiphany, though - I want to make beef jerky and chocolate chip cookies for a living. You laugh, but if you have ever had Maryann's Hurricane Jerky or Liz and Hetal's Chocolate Chip Cookies, you know I could be a very rich woman on these 2 things. And for either one of those, 70-80 hours a week would fly right by. Looking at debt numbers in excel does NOT make time fly. In other news, this whole damn month just sucked. Other than Hetal's birthday, down in FL. I took the GMAT and did terribly, but I'm applying to grad school anyhow. OK, Liz , you are not smart. Then I saw my pediatrician, who I haven't seen since high school, and the second things she says is "can I talk to you about your weight?" OK, Liz, you are fat. Then I saw Scott and I just didn't want to deal with him because it was one of those times where all I could think of when I was around him is that whole stupid arm candy thing (and I get irritated that it STILL IRRITATES ME AFTER A YEAR!!) So then yeah it was Liz, you are not pretty. And I work 70 hours a week. :( I keep saying I'm going to get away from the pity party but it ain't happenin' in August. Maybe in September. At least I ride my bike to work. That's cool. And I'm still a good friend. Also cool. Had dinner with Ty the other day and got an email from Eddie. I miss my brother and all those yahoos. Eddie, Ty, and MATT LYNCH - yes, ladies and gentlemen, THE Matt Lynch who is and will always be my inspiration - are all going to live in Ty's house once the place is liveable. They're gonna have a great time. OK see me in September when I think I'm cool again. August 1 - Sorry to keep you all so sad with my absence... but we all know how I love to travel in the summertime. HOORAY FOR SUMMER! Boo it's almost over - which, by the way, how the heck did *that* happen?? So let me fill ya in. OK I stopped dating the bartender. He had no drive. I can't be the ONLY passion in anyone's life. I'm sure he'll make someone else very happy, he's a good guy, just not for me. Christine and Thayer got married, that was a great wedding. They actually give me a lot of hope, I'm really happy for them. Collin was rather drunk all weekend, but he did win Most Valuable Groomsman. Everyone had a good time, there was lots of entertainment value. I'm still working at GP and I still love it. I don't know what I'm doing, but I know more than I did. I've started to feel like one of the Smart Kids again, it's only taken 5 years of being out of Tech! Dad is always asking if I have met any smart rich executives I can marry.... gotta love Dad. I told him I'd rather be the smart rich one! Speaking of Dad, craziness, he is thinking of selling the Vermont house. This is NO GOOD. This is a very, very bad idea. I hope he realizes it. Mr. Colorado has been threatening to come visit. I almost wish he wouldn't mention it because then I get all excited that he'll come out... and he doesn't. SAD! But I should really date someone here in the ATL, right? Ha, whatever, they're all gay or married. Alice is doing well here - her car got stolen and she lost her job in the same week, but there's a big fat silver lining to both stories... she was gonna sell the car anyhow, and will now probably get more $$ for it from insurance. Then as far as job goes, she wanted to take a leave anyhow to finish her thesis, well now she gets to do that and get paid (thank you very much, unemployment office). She's not too bent out of shape. She'll have wads of jobs waiting anyhow, she's in high demand. And Tom, well, he's probably going to marry Heather, which I think is the best possible thing he could do. She is perfect for my brother. I don't think an engagement will happen for another year, but it will happen. Good for them. I feel like other things are going on, but they really aren't. Oh yeah I'm applying to GSU for my MBA. GP pays, I want it anyhow. We had the most kick ass time at the house on the 4th of July. Great party all weekend long. Sara and Jarrett came down, as did Sarah Hoke. Fun stuff. I'm taking tennis lessons now with Christine. I think I'm gonna cut back on Hot Bill. Not give him up, but maybe see him only once every 2 weeks. Or something. And that's life in LizLand. I have a blog now, it's at www.lizitup.blogspot.com. It's more short-story esque but it's all real life stories about, well, my life. On the other hand, I don't use real names (generally). But check it out if you've got the chance. I'll be updating this page pretty regularly again... I just got a new laptop, part of my problem was that I really didn't have a computer that I could run pagebuilder on for the last couple months! So here I am, back in your life. Yea! |
