i'm pretty excited for sept 1 this year. (incidentally, holy freaking poo how did it get to be september next week?! didn't summer start, like, two weeks ago? EESH.) anyway! the reason i'm excited for september first is because i have a NEW ROOMMATE, folks! which means that i am NOT PAYING double rent come monday. that's close to $1000 that i don't have to eat. that is A LOT OF MONEY. trust me on this.
so my new roommate is The Boy's brother's girlfriend (got that?). while that SEEMS like it's a Recipe For Drama And/Or Disaster, it actually should be fantastic, i'm thinking. i've known her for about two years, we're both sort of awesome, and she loves my cats. and project runway! i have someone to watch it with built into my home now. AWESOME.
overall, things are looking pretty great right now. i'm headed to nationals stadium tonight for a beer-infused team outing; i leave tomorrow for a long weekend in ocean city, md; after one day of work on tuesday i hop on a plane to san francisco for a week with my family; and i'm currently wearing a new pair of jeans that make my ass look pretty great, and they were only $12. and! i get to meet my friend carrie's completely edible baby next week. so far, i like september.
It's about time you had a good week/month in 2008. You deserve it. I mean, seriously.
ReplyDeleteGlad things are going well!
Sounds like life is good! yay! And that hideous tie-dyed summer dress totally deserved to go last night on PR, eh?
ReplyDeleteYou are WAY more than sort of awesome.
ReplyDeleteYAY!!! Awesome news! Have a wonderful weekend and week with your family!!
ReplyDeleteI am SO GLAD that September is working out for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, summer did start 2 weeks ago.
beer infused team outing AND a new roomie sounds like plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Oh wow! Your September is shaping up GREAT! You totally deserve an awesome month after all you've been through this year.
ReplyDeleteSounds good all around! :)
ReplyDelete$1,000 is half your rent?!? Thats considerably more than our mortgage payment. Wow. Cost of living differences. Midwest, thank you!
Woo hoo! This is such a happy-sounding post. Woo hoo!
ReplyDelete$12 good-ass jeans!? Woman, where do you find these miracle-wonders??
ReplyDeleteP.S. I keep meaning to tell you, your profile shot is absolutely stunning.
Cool! It's so much fun to live with a friend that you know well... and can tell them when you think they are being a slob/getting on your nerves :P
ReplyDeleteSeptember definitely looks like it's going to be an awesome month for you. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you are finally getting some good news in your life!
ReplyDeleteBut did you somehow miss the heat and humidity we'd been having??
I'm guessing early fall & early winter (oh, please, let there be lots of snow, at least out here in the hinterlands!!) because have you noticed the trees!? They're already turning!
you know what this means? SPENDING SPREE! Or Margarita infused house warming pary.... Either/ or.
ReplyDeleteThats just great, Alice, just great.
ReplyDelete$12 jean that make your ass look hot is one of those rare, great moments in life.
ReplyDeleteYay! Let's hope it's fabby Septembers all round :-)
