Um...wow

I apologize for the lack of updates but so much has gone on lately. I was sick for damn near the whole month of February... kept getting recurring bouts with the flu/cold I caught at Inauguration. Then I ate something bad when I was in NYC in early March that had me running back n forth to the bathroom. Then I was diagnosed with Extreme Anxiety which was due to me being stressed out from lackof unemployment coupled with my dad driving me crazy. So for the time being I am on Effexor (Google it to learn more about it). And then to top it all off... my grandfather died on March 9th. It was kind of expected... he had been bedridden for about 5 yrs now and was suffering from alzheimers. He had stopped eating for the most part in is last few weeks. SO we kinda saw it coming. We try to look at it as a blessing... the man was 95 years old. He was definitely one of the greatest men I've ever met, and it's an honor being one of the many grandchildren that he has.

Onto more positive things that happened during my blogging hiatus...

1. I mentioned before that I went to NYC in early March. I went to go see the Broadway play Avenue Q which I must say is one of the most hilarious productions i've ever seen in my life. I definitely must get into Broadway more often.

2. Despite being poor and unemployed, I managed to buy my mom a new laptop... something that she's been hinting at wanting for the past 2 years. But... anything to make mom happy.

3. As much as it may come off as comedy to most people, I saw britney spears in concert. lol... yes I like Britney OKAY! She definitely made a serious 180 from when she went nuts. She was workin the stage. I really enjoyed myself. The Pussycat dolls opened for her, and they threw down as well. I never paid attention to them before... well except for Nicole Scheblablabla (whateverher last name is). That chick is HOT.


4. And the best news of the year... I GOT A JOB!! I am so happy about it... and yes it's a pay raise for me. Although the 4 months I was unemployed seemed liek FOREVER, I should consider myself lucky because a lot of people(especially in these bad economic times) have waited and will be waiting a lot longer. I wish good luck to any and everyone out there looking. It's hard out there.
