A couple of weeks ago marked a year for me in Charlotte, and I thought that warranted a life update. So here goes:(I'd like to apologize in advance for the sappy stuff.)This past year was probably one of my top five most eventful. I changed jobs for the first time in the real world, moved...

Minimum Effort FTW
When I start talking to a new guy, I'll be honest: I put in minimum amounts of effort. Call me a pessimist, but I can usually figure out how the story ends before it begins. I haven't actively pursued a guy since I was, maybe, 22. I'm not sure I even remember how. I'm a... Continue Reading →
New Year, New…Meh…You Know the Drill
For the past few months, I've been doing some serious internal healing. Or at least starting to. Apparently it's a long process. I finally broke down and started seeing a therapist, and it has been the best decision I've made in a long time. Almost as good as that glitter wrapping paper choice was bad.... Continue Reading →
My [Personal] Life Right Now
If you know me, there's a decent chance you read my blog. You also know that my posts are usually for entertainment purposes and don't really mention very private matters that I hold near and dear.That's changing today. Today, I thought I'd write a very personal, bare-all kind of post. I'm telling you this up-front,... Continue Reading →
Camping: Rookie Mistake
After a couple of months in Charlotte of trying to make friends, keeping sane at my new job, missing my family, having a car wreck, buying a car and dealing with boyfriend problems, I was seriously stressed out. I hadn't been to the beach in over a year, and I desperately wanted to get out... Continue Reading →
Buying My First Car
Since my car was 10 years old and had over 250K miles on it, I knew it wouldn't take much to total it. Basically, an angry ex could have keyed it and it would've been worthless. So, slamming into someone's passenger side door definitely did the trick. After getting the official call from my insurance... Continue Reading →
Official Welcome to Charlotte
When I lived in Nashville, people constantly complained about Tennessee drivers and how horrible they were. Coming from Mississippi, I did not necessarily agree with them about this, because the drivers in MS were 10 times worse. I had no idea there was such a thing as "better drivers" out there.However, in Charlotte, I was... Continue Reading →
Adventures in Moving … Again
Charlotte story number one begins in February this year. I decided I wanted to make a change. I wasn't exactly sure what brought on the feeling, but morale was low in the workplace, and it was affecting me more than I should have let it. So I began the job search. At first, it was...

The Bitch [Blog] is Back!
So much has happened to me over the past 6 months. I got a new job, moved to a new city, gained and lost a boyfriend and a car (and a 4-person tent), and I've finally decided to start blogging again. You can all thank my friend, Meagan, for that one. And, just to clarify,... Continue Reading →
Emotional Farewell
Sunday This was a pretty somber day. By the time Sunday came around, I was ready for it. I'd had a great time at this adult sleep away camp, but I was exhausted and it was time to go home. But not until I saw Tom Petty, of course.Rachel and I got up early and... Continue Reading →
