"Changes" - Coming Soon to a Life Near You!


Changes: they happen.  And they can suck.  A famous few include puberty (everything is changing), the seasons (unless you are here in California), and the political climate (which I will NOT be getting into).  My point is that they exist and, like it or not, they help make the world go round.

I have been on a hiatus from blogging (and most of the things I enjoy) for the last few months because of this driving force - though if change were to ever have a drivers licence it would get that licence revoked so fast for speed infringements alone.  By last few months I mean since January.  So almost 7 months?  Change has recently dictated my daily life.  So here is a quick rundown of what's been going on.

1. The title of this blog has changed to reflect the main change... That could be phrased a lot better... But you get the point.  The trio has met it's end.  It's been a good year and some change (see that pun there?), but the boyfriend and I are moving on in our own way (reflected in change number 2).  So the blog will evolve to show this.

2.  I am now engaged.  There will be a post on that later down the line.

3.  The fiance and I are moving.  Finding a place was an interesting journey.  If it was affordable it was farther away than we wanted to be, and if it was within a reasonable distance to campus it was out of our price range.  It was like trying to find the one platinum needle in a pile of silver needles.  Fucking impossible.  Then one's we could compromise on had requirements we could not meet: 2 years record in a previous location, 3 times the rent as our monthly income, and a Pegasus/Unicorn offspring.  But we finally managed to find a place, within our current complex just two buildings over.  We are lucky.

4.  Job's are changing us, slowly but surely.  I get to continue my work in costuming as we face a new semester in grad school (RIP boyfriend/boyfriends social life).  But also the job hunt continues.  Recently I had 5 interviews within 1 week, out of the 50+ applications I had submitted the previous week within a 3 day period.  Some of these were even second interviews! Didn't get any of the jobs...  Finding a job so the fiance and I can keep the new place is harder than I was hoping.

So these are the most recent reasons for not being online.  Part of it does have to do with self-motivation, admittedly.  But I needed to take some of the time for myself since all of the stress started getting to me.  Hopefully these remaining months will turn things around.  It's all looking up from here.

Nanny 101

When looking after someone else's child, things can go really well or really bad. I'm lucky to be in the former situation. In my year and a half of doing this, I have learned so much. Here are the top five things I have learned. 1. ALWAYS have a "plan B" in case you need to switch things up quickly on the spot. 2. GPS is a must , for hopefully obvious reasons. 3. Duffel bags are a god send. Toss in what you need, things you may need, and a few things you have no clue about. 4. Have spare phone numbers and all addresses written down . Its good to have a back up.  You will never know when your phone dies and you have to borrow someone's in an emergency situation. (True story) 5. Remember what the word "appropriate" means and how it should be applied in your situation.  This includes but is not limited to: the music in your car, your clothes, and above all - what comes out of your mouth! It's a weird thing, but you may also

Broke-A** College Student

Even after college, being broke seems to be a long lasting side effect.  There seem to be two primary reasons for this. 1. "First Jobs" generally suck.  They pay minimum wages, screw you on hours, and are emotionally taxing.  I don't care if all you're doing is flipping burgers, the stigma of being unmotivated and stupid still hurts.  And the longer you listen to those stigmas, the more likely you are to start believing them.  There are both studies and plenty of old wives tales to back this up. Then to top it all off, all of the "god jobs" generally require "prior experience".  Which means you are stuck at that "first job" until you get some "experience". 2. Trying to live (even with roommates) is too Goddamn expensive! Want to live close to work so you can ride a bike or take the bus to work to be more ecologically minded? Well, do you have 3 times the rent as your income? No? Well tough shit, go look elsewhere. T

Proof of the Inner White Girl

I have been living in California for most of my life.  I know there are stereotypes about women from California (thanks a lot Katy Perry), but they all have a small shred of truth to them. That being said, here is my personal list of things I have caught myself or my friends doing. 1. When you budget for the influx of Pumpkin Spice goods. 2. You use Vanilla Spice creamer in your coffee and then dip your Limited Edition Dunkin Doughnuts Vanilla Spice Pop-tarts into it. (Sad to admit, this one is on me.) 3. You panic when you can't find your favorite eyeliner. (We've all had this one, right?) 4. You "can't even" when your Instagram account freezes. 5. You lose your mind over the newest color from your favorite makeup brand and you just have to get it. (Thank you Wet n' Wild.) 6. Fall starts when Starbucks releases Pumpkin Spice. 7. Your day is ruined when Starbucks isn't available. 8. You wish your GPS would just say "Turn right a
