its been a long time, now i'm coming back home

my horoscope from the new york press:

"You're swimming in a murky green pond. It's so full of messy life that you can't see more than a foot in any direction, and have no idea what might be lurking beneath your unprotected toes. Normally this situation would fill you with unease or even horror, but I hope this week you can trust me enough to relax and enjoy yourself. There are no sharks down there, of course. There aren't even snakes or leeches. Acutally, what's hiding beyond your sight are delights and pleasant surprises, believe it or not. All you have to do is relax, enjoy yourself, and wait until they swim up to nibble on your toes."

WOW! i love when things are so dead on like that. really.
what's so nice is the press is a free paper. so now every glass and mug i own are wrapped up in that horoscope. m e a n t t o b e

xo!

p.s. eight days...

we'll come into your town, we'll help you party it down

today today today today: get moving!
i am bumming around the house. need to go get newspaper to pack my dishes in. WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY DISHES?!
i have packed 2 boxes of books, a huge box of cds (CDS?!?), a box of summer shoes, and a box of vhs. today i have a great and many tasks to cross off my list, including: take shower, and get newspaper.
man, life sure is hard.

my little cousin serena is officially on board for the whole of florida and we are both so giddy about it! i can't wait to have special cousin time inside the belly of good old loretta-louise.

i made a decision yesterday to officially live a life dream and order tickets to see the price is right in june. HA! i know it sucks without bob, but maybe i will win big! winning is the real goal, so bob, or no bob, i will take burbank by storm.

okay, enough sitting around in my fucking pajamas. this is disgraceful.
adios.

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),
B

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.

she's got her pretty little barefeet hanging out the window

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!!!
