Update!

Lots has happened since I last updated. I went for an interview and I was in the final two candidates, but they chose someone else. They did like me a lot though and forwarded my resume to a temp agency in Daytona. I also struck gold and got an interview with a company here in the city I am living in. I had to pass three tests in order to get an interview, thankfully I passed and my interview is tomorrow.

I really want this job it is geographically desirable and it is something new and exciting and good money for Florida. I am very excited. I started dating a new guy and now I can officially call him my "boyfriend". I like him a lot he is 39, very driven and a overall fantastic individual. I conquered the mean streets of Daytona. I was worried about driving there with all the one way streets and U turns, but I did it. Growing up in the Boston area we are not used to streets that run parallel to one another. Most streets are old wagon trails and one ways. Here everything leads back to your original point, but the streets are all one ways and sometimes you can't go left at a set of lights. You always have to be paying attention. I really miss knowing where I am going all the time, although since I have been here I have been driving a lot more and I can navigate around pretty good now.

I also saw my first poisonous snake today. P was mowing the lawn and came across it. It wasn't super huge, but it wasn't super small neither. SCARY!!!! So far since I have been in Florida I have seen one spider, which could or could not have been a brown recluse and a little tiny black spider and the snake. It is now summertime so the prehistoric shit is going to be coming out soon. Hot and humid brings big and scary. Blegh! I get the creepy crawlys thinking about it.

Till next time..

Change of Life

This is going to be a fast update since I don't have a lot of time on the computer. I have been living in Florida now for over a week and boy what a change. The driving is taking a lot longer to get used to than I thought. Old people drive slooooooooooooooooow and they cut you off and don't really pay attention to the rules of the road.

Life here has been different, yet good. I don't have cable right now and I have limited access to a computer so I am pretty much cut off from the outside world. That is ok though I kind of like it. I read the paper and get my news from there. I have been trying to find a job, which is still an ongoing process. I miss my friends and family, but I don't miss MA not one bit. I have been re living my twenties with people over every night and partying all the time. I love it! I am dating a new guy life is looking up!

Offically in FL

As of Tuesday I am now living in Florida. Leaving Boston was not as hard as I thought it would be I'd say the "goodbyes" were the hardest. Now that I am done saying goodbye I feel good. the weather is perfect, just as I knew it would be I love it! I went to the pool today and chilled out it was quite nice.

I feel like I am on some kind of permanent vacation living at a resort that is really an apartment. Living with roomates is not as hard as everyone said it would be. I have adjusted fine. I traded in two "older" roomates for two younger partiers. It's cooler actually haha. I drove yesterday down to Flagler Beach to a sports bar called Ref's. It is a brand new bar that was formerly a strip joint so the windows were tinted hhaha.

That's all for now. Oh I had Sonic today. Yum.

Packin'

It's amazing the amount of crap you accumulate over the years. I never really noticed until I am trying to pack it all up to move. It has been a tiring few days trying to get everything in order. I kind of wish I could just blink my eyes like I dream of Jeannie and have it all done for me. Ok I just dated myself there.

Next week at this time I will have completed my first full day of Florida living. Hopefully, everything goes well and I can look back on these few weeks and it will just be a distant memory. It seems like the fire in Florida has been contained so that at least is a good thing. The weather has been real nice too, which is definately the upside to living down there. Today, gave me another reminder why I want to leave. Cold, rain, thunder, etc. etc. I got a call from one of my friends tonight. It always seems like they are doing me a favor when they call. They never really want to talk for that long and are always like well I am going to let you go. Ok, so remind me again why you called if you don't have time to talk? Bah I don't know I am just tired and cranky. I got some cute pics of D today from N and it is hard to believe he is 5 months old. Seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital visiting him after he was born. It is just proof to me that life just flies by and you have to grasp every moment before it slips away silently never to be heard from again.

Everything is Coming Together

I finally have a departure date! Now I am getting excited. I also have started gathering all my stuff together and I feel better about the move. I am getting some cool stuff for my room too. I found a duvet for $19.00 at Target. I am psyched! Those things are usually really expensive. This life of leisure is kinda great except no one is at home during the day to hang out. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 82 degrees here might be time for a beach visit..

Oh yeah and look for a job..

Moving Sucks

There is so much to do I don't know where to start. I keep getting overwhelmed. I think the trick to the whole thing is when I start to get overwhelmed forget about what I am doing and just keep on trucking, eventually everything will come together. On a side note I never realized how many pairs of shoes I own. It wasn't until I was packing them all up to go that I realized how much money I have invested in shoes and cloths. To quote Carrie Bradshaw "I like my money where I can see it hanging in my closet". It's true at least you know where it all went.

I feel a little bit more excited now that I am packing and getting things in order.
