NEW

I need to tell about two things that are new and going on in my life.

#1: I put my hands in my front pockets now. What is up with that?

#2: I have fallen in love. This man is a construction worker at my job, missing half of his front tooth, devastatingly attractive, and married. Last week I was waiting for the elevator and when the door opened he was standing there in his hard hat and filthy clothes holding a bucket. Gross right? Wrong. He said, “Hi Melissa” and I almost fell over. This is a breakthrough for me because I have never before found an intense “man’s man” attractive. I guess I’m growing up.

Even though I have a real job now I still spend time at my parents house eating cold cereal and playing cooking mama. It’s great, but rather boring. Because I have nothing else going on in my life I have turned into a bit of a workaholic. I make work phone calls during my commute and then during the 3 hours that I’m home and not asleep I check my work emails or think about how to resolve work problems. I run through names of co-workers and building floor plans before I fall asleep. I defiantly don’t want to live like this all of my life. I just need to get caught up because I’m the new girl.
