Party Times!

God it has been forever since I posted. Although I have been reading them all I haven't felt like I have had much to say. I do now though. I'll star with boring things first. I'm still working crazy hour, with very little social life, but it is becoming more of a norm now. I try not to think about it or expect to get out at a normal time in the evening because then if I don't I get mad lol. I'm slowly starting to look at new apartment closer to work. My current lease isn't up till Aug, but it doesn't hurt to look. So far to get the same size apartment I have to now I have to pay about $300 more to move to where I want (which I might add is towards the coast!) My justification for being able to afford more is that I will save a massive amount on gas and my work just started paying my health insurance which saves me $150 a month! Ya!

My parents just left their house here in the desert to head back to our lake house in MO :(. I'm gonna miss them, but they said they are gonna try to visit every six weeks, which I feel somehow defeats the purpose of leaving in the first place but I'm not gonna say no to them visiting.

Okay, on to the good news. I recently made my first big girl purchase. I bought a couch! I have been wanting a sectional since I moved here and I finally found one that I figured I could afford. I got it at Macy's. It is an L shaped microfiber sleeper sectional (so if you want to visit you don't have to share a bed with me, unless you want to) It is a pretty long story but I got a crazy good deal on it. I ended up saving through opening a macy's charge, buying during their friends and family, and sheer stupidity of the sales person, over $800!! Long story short I got an really expensive couch for only a kind of expensive price. It is still a lot of money to me, but I'm really happy I did it. It should be here in 6 weeks, which mean Bridget it should be here for you to see

Alright, now for the best news. My company is having its 10 year anniversary party this weekend and it looks like it is going to be quite the hollywood party. I even bought a fancy new dress to wear. I have realized in my year living here that one should have several cocktail dresses, and you all know I am not the biggest dress person. I am however starting to figure out what type of dress looks the best with my curvy body. SOO the big news is that because this party is such a big deal we invited people we have worked with before which includes the Black Eyed Peas and Weezer!! I am totally name dropping by the way. From what Will.I.Am said today (he came into the office today just to chat) the whole group will be here and I have high hopes for a few other musicians as well. I couldn't be more excited. I mean I am totally at the bottom of the company but being involved is better then no job at all.

Hope you all are doing well. It really sounds like our group is getting our lives together and I'm really proud of you guys for doing so much in just our first year out of college.

Oh and yes Amy we should plan a reunion. It will have to be after the holidays for me. I'm using up all my vacation time already :( Two weeks in one year is really not enough.

Love you all!
