beyond bored in texas.....

Need to move elsewhere asap!  I am getting that itch to travel...also i miss being up north...it was refreshing to live somewhere new especially 2 different states in 5 months.  Being in the midwest was great...but now I am looking forward to seeing what the east coast has to offer.  


I dont know if anyone else down south feels this way, but I want the christmas songs to be true...you know dreaming of a white christmas...just like the ones i used to know....OR the weather outside is frightful....let it snow let it snow let it snow........if only that had ever been true in my entire life.  The tallest snowman I have ever made went to my thigh....and melted later that day.  I want a reason for hot chocolate and warm clothes.


I also want seasons not just 10 months of hot and 2 months of mildly cold....i want leaves to change...brisk cool mornings.  I want to see cherry blossoms bloom in D.C. in the spring.  I like that people think its scorching outside at 90 degrees.


I want to be able to travel to other states in less than a day....see the rich history of new england...visit nyc for new years or christmas...go to d.c. to the museums and fourth of july celebrations....go to the beach in maryland or new jersey.


I know the cost of living is higher and I have been told I will hate the snow a week after it starts...but after 22 years of texas i want to explore this country!!!!


Those 5 months away really enlightened me and I have made new friends from different parts of america....looking forward to more soon!


To all the dreamers out there like me....live today like it could be your last!

visiting the frister for the weekend!

Yep Im visiting my best friend/ fake sister starting tomorrow!!!  Looking forward to just hanging out on the couch and talking since its been a long time since we have been able to just hang out!  Saw her last week, but both our mothers were around so couldnt hang out too long!


Plus I have something pretty important to tell her...but I wont say it yet on here just in case she reads this before I see her.


Anyways been cleaning out my childhood room with things that I dont need or want anymore.  SO basically that means a lot of books and clothes and toys are leaving to goodwill!  I am not a really sentimental person......so I do this a lot.  Ill come home and be like "mom I dont want this anymore and it turns out its from a great grandmother or something.........oops.  I find ill keep stuff more often if I went somewhere and it was something I bought.  Like things I have from New York, San Diego, Mexico, Austria....that stuff means more to me than family heirlooms....maybe its just me or maybe its the generation I grew up in.


I keep going between getting a retail job or being free for the holidays to go see my family in december....I know I need money, but I havent seen them in a while and who knows when I will see them again....


Still planning on moving up north in january and getting a job there while I wait for zoos to start hiring for spring.  See zoo jobs are hard to come by in the winter because many zoos have limited hours which means limited staff since its so cold, but they prepare for the spring around february.
