this past holiday weekend, i went to SWVA to spend some time with my family... it was actually a nice visit, and i really didn't want to leave... i didn't do a whole lot, so it was pretty relaxing... my mom and i went shopping, and out to eat a few times... and i got my hair cut (it's pretty short again)... my youngest brother and I went to see X3... it was a good movie... they still left a lot of issues open, but i just don't see a fourth movie doing very well...
i didn't really get to spend much time with my other siblings... my oldest brother was working most of the time, and my sister, well, i just don't like her... she's developed this attitude that she doesn't have to "live by the rules" and she can do whatever she wants... which is fine if that's how she chooses to live her life, but she shouldn't expect someone else to bail her out of trouble by living that way... both times that i saw her this past weekend, she was whining about not having any money... mom would finally get tired of hearing it and give her some money... yet, instead of using that money to pay bills, or put gas in her car, or buy groceries, she went out clubbing! that girl needs to get her ass kicked... and mom needs to show her some "tough love" too... i just don't understand how some people can be so irresponsible... it's beyond me...
anyway, i tried to ignore her the few minutes she was at mom's house, so that i would have a stress-free vacation... and it worked... it was nice playing with the dogs, taking walks outside, and i even got to go swimming... this was one time when i didn't need a vacation from my vacation...
but coming back to DC made me realize that i really don't like living here... i don't like my job much anymore... we haven't had any work to do since February! it's freakin' hard to sit at a desk all day and pretend to be busy... it's boring, and i'm not being challenged... so i'm definitely ready to move on... and i really don't like my living situation... my roommate has just become too much for me... she's way too mothering, and nothing is ever her fault... thankfully, i'll be moving soon... and maybe those changes will be enough to renew my happiness with being here...
this coming weekend, i'm running in a 5K!!! i'm getting pretty excited about it... i know i'm not going to be able to run the entire way, but i think i'll do pretty good for an out-of-shape first timer... after the run, i'm not sure if i'm going to continue jogging "just for fun..." we'll see... my next adventure is going to be with bellydancing... LOL... that should be pretty funny... but i'm going to give it a try...
now that i've ranted and raved a bit, i think i'm going to go walk around the office to see if anyone has anything to do...

Heeeyyyy, April!!
It's gutsy to get out there and make some changes in your life and you are doing just that. And look what you have done the past few years. So hang in there - the job and living place will both be changing for you soon.
And doing the 5K is a huge accomplishment - finishing it is not the point. Your journey up to this race has been phenomenal and I am hoping you are suitably proud of yourself. To think, a Southern Belle tackling a 5K!
Good luck and have fun (my pal Molly and I say that to each other before every Micro quiz and test - we have 2 or 3 every class period).
It bears repeating..GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN!!!!
Belly dancing!!! Whooee! I'd love to do that, but my belly is WAYYY too big. It would be gross. Maybe you can show me some of the moves sometime, though-----in private!
Good luck and have fun in the 5K! That's an impressive undertaking!!!
