but there's still tomorrow, forget the sorrow and I can be on the last train home

(Lostprophets)

Mildly related/Staccato/I don't have time for a real post, but lots to say:
- I turned twenty-seven last week. There was a Tiffany box and much food and "Wicked". It was delightful. I was going to do a post all in pictures... but then life got in the way.
- Facebook is evil, part 1. I am totally fine that one of my ex-boyfriends got married over the week-end. However, it ever so mildly freaks me out that they got hitched at OUR venue and they're honeymooning in OUR destination, as well. It's just... weird.
- JLM is moving to Fort Worth in two months. I was talking to him on the phone last week and I kept thinking that his voice hasn't changed at all, but we have. So much. It's kind of miraculous that we've managed to make our friendship last.
- Facebook is evil, part 2. Reading about an incident involving my sorority chapter and a fraternity that I used to spend a lot of time with is making me ill, angry, and disheartened.
- Approximately 17 days till our annual girl's trip and only about 23 days of school left! I am equal parts ecstatic and nervous and omg, there's so so so much to do before then. A major paper and two major group projects and lots of little things in between then and now.
- I cannot wait to for our Annual Girl's Trip, too many cocktails, Gone with the Wind, hopefully trying on my wedding dress, gossip, girl talk, and carbs with Winnie and Z.
- I cannot wait to come home and not have to go to school, deal with group members, listen to lectures, and to finally be able to apply to jobs that I'm qualified for and not only those I'm way overqualified for.
- I am still searching for a job. Every. day.
- No, I have not worked out in months. Yes, I am more than partially responsible for why we are not running that 5k during our Annual Girl's Trip this year.
- I am making my peace with my body.
- Which is not to say that I don't have goals.
- Summer goals: use my gym membership, learn how to coupon effectively, take another photography class, figure out how to upgrade (and regularly update) my blog, and find a big girl job.
- I miss my friends. I'm really ready to see everyone a lot in the next few months.
- For every day I have that I am totally overwhelmed, I have one where I rise above it... I will never not freak out and get wound up about things that are totally not in my control. But, I'm also trying to see the situations where it's really not about me, or my fault, or my problem, and the places where worrying about it isn't going to help.
- Our engagement photos are next week. Coffee themed. I adore our photographers and I'm really excited.
- My wedding dress is ever so slightly MIA. I am not quite worried yet. Thank god I ordered it so far in advance.
- I am over wedding planning right now. I mean, I still care. I just don't want to have to actually make decisions and execute things right now. And I'll get over it... in about three weeks when school is over and I feel like I can have my life back.
- Honeymoon plans... San Francisco, Napa Valley, and Lake Tahoe... I am so. so. excited.
- I adore you. Every time I think that I can't possibly handle another day of job hunting, school, dog hair, and being angry at the internet... I think of you and us and how impossibly lucky I am to have found you and as trite and hallmark as it sounds, it makes it all so much better.
- I cannot wait to marry you.
