grateful
This evening my mom took me shopping for my new apartment. She said, 'Well, I suppose I can help you out with things you'll need.' Thanks mom! You rock!
Things purchased for the apartment thus far: pots and pans, ironing board, iron, dented drinking glasses, white and charcoal bath towels, microwave, Kitchen Aid utensils, green striped kitchen rug, orange and green kitchen towels, floor mop/duster thingy - you know the Swifter kind or whatever they're called, toilet brush, containers, glass cutting board, and I'm sure a couple more items that aren't coming to mind.
We took a break from our busy shopping trip and grabbed dinner at Olive Garden. I ate so many bread sticks it was insane. I was good and took more than half of my meal home, because Lord know I can pack it away.
I am so thankful for my mom - she has done so much for me throughout the years and continues to be supportive in any situation. She's seriously the coolest mom ever, hands down.

loving love
Miss Love –
I’ll never forget our talks. You were always telling me I need to be ‘getting’ some sugar from all the men.’
You even tried to set me up with some 40 something year-old with a jaguar.
‘Nat, I don’t want some old man!’
‘But honey, he has a fly car!’
I would then ask you about all your men. You kept them close to your chest, and pretended to play them like a deck of cards.
You always made me laugh when you told stories or 'talked' about people. 'Girrrrl, she is tore up!' And I would agree.
Your style, your grace, you had a halo of light around you. I always thought of you as an angel being so perfect. Now you are an angel, so perfect.
We will miss you Nat.

new chapter
I searched for my first apartment ever last week. I called one person and looked at two different places. I picked the second and was approved. The girl who lives there currently is selling her washer and dryer for $100 and they are only two years old. She doesn't want to move them, I wouldn't either.
I move in the 20th of April. I am excited because I've never had to do this myself. I am sad because of a relationship ending. I am scared that I will actually be responsible for myself - something I've never had to worry about.
The good things that come out of this are: I will be living next to Amy, there are lots of trees around me, I am close to downtown, Amy and I will dominate the patio in between our apartments, and I'm closer to my family by just a little.

Well he said,
Mom I want to forni–
I mean formulate and discover the realms of the unknown
With Mary Jane.
After all you’ll be away for the weekend
Just please consent
I need a friend.
I admit your puberty was somewhat strange
Could this be fixed with Mary Jane?
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane
Mary Jane who?
So I said,
Son you want to permeate and discover
the realms of the unknown with Mary Jane
After all the other boys that are your age
They only wake to medicate
Do I know the family?
Is she even family when she’s out in society?
“She even bakes,
She even bakes!!!
These odd brownies!”
Mary Jane, Mary Jane, Mary Jane
Mary Jane who?
Then he said,
I believe in her family,
on her maternal side,
there was a Dr Tetra-hydro-cannabinol, pure isomer Dronabinol…
Mary Jane who?
Mary Jane who?

ahhh big booty
Ever since summer ended when the weather grows cold, then colder, then unbearable, and I no longer run outside, I've gained weight. No, not seven pounds like the lovely Ms. Gordon, I went from 170-ish to much higher. Much higher being 199. When I saw that number I told myself, "It's either time to start getting your ass into the gym again or save for lipo." Since lipo is not in the budget and I already have a gym membership, I opted for working out.
Molly told me before my 21st birthday I would no longer be able to eat entire frozen pizzas (my drug of choice was Digiorno's or Freschetta pepperoni). I could eat a whole pizza and not feel the affects of it. Well, 21 hit and I couldn't eat the whole thing, but I could eat half of it! Now, at 26 I can eat maybe 2 slices. Oh, metabolism, where art thou? I can't seem to kick the weight I gained. True I am just not getting back into going to the gym on a regular basis so that should help. Plus the weather is nicer and I have been running around the lake.
After the tornado the other day I found myself in Complete Nutrition looking at fat burners. I have always prided myself on never taking any pills other than vitamins. But I've thrown that pride wayside for now. The very enthusiastic sales associate told me about ShredSTACK. Let's hope it works and doesn't give me a heart attack. I'm on my second day of taking it and so far feel fine. I've dropped a couple pounds already in the past week, but I think that is mostly due to depression - the best diet ever.

porta potty on saint patty
I know this is a week old, but oh well. Saint Patrick's Day was off to a wonderful start when I was wearing a green polo with an elephant on it. For lunch we walked to Clancy's where I had a green beer and my very first corned beef sandwich. I was skeptical by the name of the meat alone. But after tasting it wasn't bad, a little on the dry side, but tasted like salami.
I left work early to join Shelly and Frank in the Irish festivities. Frank met an ex-pro football player who sells medical supplies now. Chelsea and Dan met up with us later. Chelsea wasn't wearing green, so I don't even know why she came - but she never got pinched. Poker Face started playing and we danced like no one knew us. If I had to be a woman, I would want to be Lady Gaga, I think she is so rad.
Chelsea ordered her first beer, ever.
When no music was playing Dan pulled out his mini speakers and we rocked out.
Below are images from the inside of porta pottys. I love when people write things on bathroom walls and I always take photos of them. Some are mighty clever.
When we left the bar Dan and I decided we were hungry. We made it for Kona happy hour where it was dead. All in all it was a good night. Next year, I will dress up like a leprechaun or a rainbow where my genitals will be a pot of gold, I haven't decided.

goodbye
when you told me the news
you knew i wouldn't sing the same tune
it cuts and pains me
to know i'd have to compete with the other side of the world
so go
and fly
without me by your side
talk happy on the phone
like you've already forgot about me and your home
goodbye 1's and 0's
you knew i wouldn't sing the same tune
it cuts and pains me
to know i'd have to compete with the other side of the world
so go
and fly
without me by your side
talk happy on the phone
like you've already forgot about me and your home
goodbye 1's and 0's

bad habits
I have several bad habits that I need to discontinue as soon as possible. Below are a list of just a few of them:
-When I get nervous I bite my nails. Worse, I pull out my facial face i.e. beard, eyebrows and sideburns. I pull them so much that I create bald spots. I really only do them when I'm anxious and/or nervous.
-If m&m's are near me, I will eat them like popcorn and I won't stop until they're all gone.
Ok, so those are just two, not as many as I had thought. But really, the pulling of hair needs to stop - people must think I have a condition of some sort. Today, has been one of those days I am close to baldness.

dinner
What's a boy to have for diner? Homemade crab cakes with scrambled eggs and pepper jake cheese alongside a chilled Kronenburg 1664. So tasty, tasty.
*The crab cakes didn't turn out as well as planned, they lacked their delicious seasoning and creamy inside texture. This doesn't mean they were all that bad, they were tasty and I ate them.

listen
the bird and the bee - polite dance song
Yes that is what I mean
That's the nail that I hit
I try to be as coy as I can
But I wanna see your naughty bit
flawless
The new cover for Tori Amos' Abnormally Attracted To Sin. Please disregard Perez's squiggles.
I wonder if this album will have a big band feel to it? She did do the cover of You Belong To Me. We shall see, she surpises everytime.
Update
Although this photo is bad ass, it is not the new album cover. Tori's camp isn't even involved with this photo. I wonder when it was taken or what it was supposed to be used for? From the look of her eyebrows, it must be circa 2001, Strange Little Girl era. Maybe we will never know.
