So I added a little something onto my blog. If you take a little look at my sidebar I have a new section called "shop." I'm making a list of cute websites that carry interesting "goods." So if anyone knows of other places feel free to let me know.

Yesterday I kinda did a whole lot of nothing. I'm kinda worn out from this semester and from all the drama of my life lately. I know I need to just put some of the stuff that's gone on in the past and I'm really trying to. For awhile, anyway, I'm not going to mention Rich. Last night I took the diary I used to use to write about him and put it with the rest of my old diaries and I threw away the bottle of cologne that I know he wears. It's sad that it's taken me hating him to finally be over him. It also took me losing friends. But I'm getting there and I'm proud of myself.

I'm going to take right now to voice my opinion on someone. I know other people have a problem with this person but no one ever really seems to say anything about it unless they make sure it sounds like an anonymous person. I'm talking about Shannon. I don't want to bash her but I hate how she walks around so smugly, thinking she's so wonderful and perfect and how dare anyone have anything bad to say about her. Yes, we did use to be friends and I do cherish those memories because we had a lot of good times. But she sits there now thinking that she has this perfect little life and that's not true. She looks down on other people because they aren't perfect and she judges people when it should be herself that she's judging. If people do not live by Shannon's way then she has a hard time accepting them and that isn't fair. She can be incredibly selfish and while I understand that she takes a lot of that from the way she grew up it still doesn't make it right. I think she puts forth this incredibly fake image to make people like her and it makes me sick that so many are fooled by her. Then again, I have to admit that for quite awhile I was fooled by her too. But anyone that can whine about wanting an engagement ring from someone and then throw that person aside when she doesn't get it, anyone that can one moment say someone is her best friend and then go off and bash that person without giving that person any chance for defense, anyone that can think that they have ANY right to judge someone when they have no idea about that person's life.... that person needs a good, hard smack in the face. She needs to grow up and learn that she will not always have everything handed to her on a silver platter. Shannon, I once saw a good person in you. Now I see nothing but cruelness and no heart.

I'm eating a candy cane right now, hehe. I went out yesterday and bought a box because right now it really doesn't feel all that much like Christmas. I cannot believe that a week from Friday I will be sitting with my family and Aunt Robyn and Uncle Bill's opening gifts and listening to the general craziness that is my family. I do not always get along with my parents, in fact I worry sometimes that we have barely a shimmer of a line of communication open anymore. But I have to say I'm fairly blessed with the family I've been given. I know people that have to pay their way through school and I don't have to worry about that. I got my first car for $200. I was able to go to YIG because of them and that is something that I would NEVER give up. Plus there are my grandparents, two people who I love SO much and who I am so grateful to have close to me in my life. I have two of the best aunts in the world, women that are pretty much like older sisters to me. Hell, even my little brother is beginning to be slightly cool. So I guess despite all the craziness I am pretty damn lucky.

Okay.... so instead of working at 5 today like I was supposed to I told Dustin I'd work for him at 3. Then Candy wanted me to come in at 2. So I have a lot less time than I thought I would, bleh. Ah well, it's money. So time for me to eat something and then head into work. More soon!
