Have you ever talked to yourself so damn much...That you just didn't feel like talking to anyone else afterward?? I keep realizing that I've made my decisions and there are still people in my life with whom I've not yet shared. Needless to say, by the time I made my decision, I was so sick if myself and feeling like a big 'ol drama queen for making such a big deal out of something that was such a big deal.
(I know that sounds wierd, but that's how I am thinking about it).
I decided to accept my admission to grad school; classes start late July. I also took a new, more stable job, in an actual office (yes, work from home will be lessened significantly). I am over working from home anyway...I miss being around people; I'm too social to be that isolated.
Besides, with all this, I now have a great excuse to get a cleaning person.
I mourned my lost adventure, and now I am focusing on what's next for grad school. I am waiting on some stuff from school so I can get myself registered and financial-aided. I've gotten the book list for my first class and plan to be ready once classes start...it's all very exciting.
Like I said, I'm a little sick of myself, and I am sick of making big life decisions. There's some more brewing, but for now, I just don't want to think about it. It came as a result of all my thoughts about the mid-west, but it'll keep for a while.
Could it be? Yes, it could.
Something’s coming, something’ good,
If I can wait!
Something’s comin’, I don’t know what it is
But it is
Gonna be great! I've had a feeling the last few weeks...like something big is coming. I know what you're thinking, "More big things? Seriously?? Are you a glutton?" No seriously, I think something else is coming. Something more organic.
OK, what else...- It's a beautiful day...the weather has been warm and sunny.
- My lawn looks great and my baby lilac tree is starting to thrive and grow leaves.
- Lady Gaga and the PetShop Boys (new cd Yes Etc.) are constantly playing on my iPod
- I have plans to improve my backyard, clean out my garage and get some upgrades done on the house.
- New neighbors have moved in next door and I'm excited that I might get a new friend out of the deal (one of the roommates is a gay guy who is a friend of a friend); I love making new friends.
That's it, time to get back to my conference call...
Laterz...

Sounds like everything is comin up roses! Congrats!
I like nice upbeat posts. Thanks for sharing what's going on.
Yay for Lady Gaga....how very stereotypically gay, but I love that album.
Glad you got the big decision behind you. Congrats. =D
I want to hear all these thoughts about the Mid-West. Sounds pretty scandalous. So what will the grad program be? an MBA? I found myself looking at a PhD program at UT El Paso the other day and nearly smacked myself. I'm not ready to go back yet. I would go nuts working from home. Even if I worked in a little isolated room in some big anonymous building, I would still feel better than sitting on my couch with a laptop. I already have a complex about someday becoming a shut-in, that would cement it.
@Emancip8 - Yes she is - and I love her - she has a great song on the "Confessions of a Shopaholic" soundtrack. If you like her...you would love new Pet Shop Boys- I know a lot of people in the U.S. aren't up on their latest CDs.
@AerialPJ - I am still waiting to get the new Depeche Mode. The remix of Wrong is pretty nice.
Yes, I have talked to myself that much. Quite frequently. Which means I need to learn to make new friends.
Gratz on your decision, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.
I talk to myself all the time. No one else will listen. LOL! Grad school is fun. I spent 6 years earning 2 degrees in grad school.
