Take Me Away to Paris…

      What I wouldn’t give to be able to write that I’m going somewhere fun and romantic like Paris instead of having to stay indoors while it’s rainy, humid, and just really bleak outside.  That’s how my summer’s been so far, and it’s been unbelievable.  Central Texas has seen so much water and everyone is sick of it (me most of all).  There was a commercial on tv with the Eiffel Tower on in the background and it got me to daydreaming.  So, any takers?  Anyone wanna whisk me away from this muddy and mosquito-ridden paradise?  I’m sure the boyfriend wouldn’t mind….

  Good news: The bf and his friend finally found an apartment instead of a house.  Actually it’s 10 times better than a house.  He’s practically going to be living in a hotel.  They’re moving into an aprtment/loft kind of thing with beautiful hardwood floors, spacious bedrooms, really nice bathrooms with marble floors, great security system, ample room for the dogs to run around, and best of all it has a view of downtown Austin.  They got an amazing deal on it (don’t really know how) but they jumped on it immediately and they sign the last papers tonight and tomorrow.  Yay!  Finally some good news on that end. 

   As for my college transcript woes…there’s still one stubborn college that keeps screwing up my application to the university I’m trying to get  into.  The extended deadline is approaching way too fast, and those other boneheads have lost my transcript in transit to Texas State.  Seriously, karma hates me.  I’m really wondering what I did wrong in a past life….

  In other news I get to meet my new roommates tomorrow.  We don’t all officially move in together until August, but we thought meeting beforehand to figure out what we still needed for the apartment was a good idea.  I’m nervous about rooming with 3 best friends, but I hope it all works out.  They seem like nice, clean, mind-your-own-business kind of girls.  After this current batch of roommates, anything opposite is a-ok with me!  The girls I live with now are lazy slobs who are satisfied in being bitches and living in their own filth which has definitely caused a lot of tension between us this past year.  So much that I’m not on speaking terms with them anymore.  They were both best friends and instantly took up for each other, so it’s no wonder why I’m so nervous about moving in with THREE best friends….

  I have a good feeling about everything, though, and I’m just putting it all in God’s hands.  I’m tired of worrying about all of it.  It’s time to let someone else take the reins.

RYN: Yeah, J is my husband – and its a long story! Of course I would feel bad, but maybe not as bad as a wife should feel… I have been very close to leaving him a few times recently – with good reason. So, its bloody tricky. Especially as he now has become a bit more like the old J I fell in love with. Its part of my dilemmna…

EEP! you and three girls eh. i see many cat fights and possibly more lost friends in your future. I will never live with chicks again unless theres just as many guys living in the house too. Living with my old roommate steph was the worst idea i could have had! I hope your experience pans out better! Tip though… communication is absolute key! but you probably figured that out last time around 🙂

Back many yrs. ago, I flew as a stewardess; they were called that then. I had 3 gals I shared an apartment with; and believe it or not, I was very lonely! They had same type of job, and hardly ever were home. So, it depends on circumstances, I guess. I am a homebody type person, and enjoy family; part of it was homesickness, I suppose. Am hoping you have a nice outcome with new “roommates. Liz
