so today, the day after my twenty-fifth birthday, my parents picked up loretta-louise from the dealership and drove her home. very nice parents, and i CANNOT wait to drive that little lady around.

today also marks my last day of my first "real" job. cue weeping, again. i am perpetually crying, it feels. but walking home from the bar last night i felt at peace and ready to say "ta ta for now" to new york, and that's more than i could ask for really. i'll let you know how i feel 2 weeks from now. i reserved the moving truck for march 28th. YIKES!

ttfn,
B


ooooh also! my studio family gave me a GPS for my bye-bye present and its just so thoughtful! they are really the nicest people. i will miss them greatly.

make life your goal, morning noon and night

i just received this feedback from a truly wonderful buyer, and it made me slightly weepy:

What a wonderful seller! Very kind, VERY quick shipping.Item just as described!

i don't know what i should owe the influx of emotion to; it could be lack of sleep, the fact that i will no longer be at my job in 2 weeks, my burgeoning trip to jamaica, or some combination of the three of these. all i know is, when i awoke to immediately check ebay and read those words, it made me happy to some infinite degree. i can't really explain this ebay thing. the attachment that i have to it now. the invisible connection to people that dot the whole of north america. i really do enjoy this process (save the bitch at the post office who sassed me.[i'll get you]) immensely, and hope it can always be as nice as it is right now.

i believe no one reads this blog (yet), but i had to put this out there i guess just for me. to remember. i suppose thats what its all about for me anyways.

love love love (irie and respect),

well i make it alright, from monday morning to friday night

the glorious beauty below now has a name

LORETTA-LOUISE BLISS WARRIOR BUCHANAN

that is all.

I OWN A CAR!!!!
its almost too good to be true!
i am going upstate to pick it up on march 8th.

my life is a constant whirlwind.
i have given my notice at my "office job" and my last day will be march 14th.
i then have two weeks to wrap up my new york life, before i head home for a while to get my new life rolling. its one of those things that is so incredibly easy to spit out (and believe me, i am telling everyone) but is impossible to actually grasp. its actually really funny to me. its like a dream masquerading as my life. i suppose it will be real soon enough? SCARY! life changes here i come!

xoxo!
and a picture of my car, just because i said so:

today marks the day of our 10th (TENTH) positive feedback!!!

this is only a test

fun, no?

give me a sign

helo 2008!

thus begins the great road trip countdown. a precise timeline hasn't been pinned down quite yet, but as the days roll forward what was once a figment is finding a shape. its a funny thing!

i am working on speaking with accountants to figure out exactly what needs to be done to move happy cuties on to become happy cuties INC. i cannot wait.

in the posts to come i hope to discuss my motivation and reasoning for this whole mess, but for now, its late and i am still working full time for the man. goodnight internet.
