Life is nice for once. I have a job, an apartment, a car, friends, everything I could really need. If only my good friends were a little closer...but eh this is my life, I'm destined to always have friends far away from me. I feel like I'm getting the hand of my job, I'm starting to like it and not just because it pays me, because I get to solve things and I like to solve things. Sorry random.
I'm so excited to have someone to run with, it's great. Even if it is just on the weekends. Today it was rainy to I worked out in the exercise room. I even talked to a couple people in there. If I keep going at around the same time I'm thinking I'll get to know some people. It'd be nice to know people in my complex. I knew it'd be harder to meet people after Ripon...Really it hasn't been too difficult though. The internet is wonderful...At least for finding running type things (races, partners..)
Oh today at work we got invitations to the company holiday party. WooHoo chance to see my co workers drunk December 3rd. Good deal, I've heard stories now I get to see the ridiculousness for myself. So I can bring a guest...too bad Nik isn't coming until January. And everyone else, I know you want to visit but I also know it's hard to come such a long distance, I'm sure we'll see each other again eventually. Visiting will happen.
So the bad, being this far from my family, does not make family life easier. I know that should come as no surprise since I haven't lived with my parents since high school, but it's still sad. I would really like to not get in fights with them, I wish they had people to spend time with near them. My parents seem really lonely right now and I think that's why we aren't getting along. They want to feel like people care about them and need them, I want to show that I am capable of being on my own, sure I need them for their advice at times, but they really want to help me and when they talk to me it's like they are trying to find ways in which I cannot live on my own. It's like when I went to college and my mom was like "it's ok if you need to call us all the time, your sister did.." Yeah um, that was her way of saying "I'm here for you", I took it as hey if you can't handle it on your own, you can always crawl back to mommy. So yeah that's that. I am officially going to IL for Christmas, and it officially wont work for me to get my dress for my brother's wedding fitted while I'm there so that's yet another sort of fighting between my mom and I, which is completely unnecessary. My mom was like well I'll fix it for you or someone in our church can. Excuse me, I would rather get this taken care of in Omaha thanks. Two reasons. 1.) I'm in IL December 23-26 and the next time I go back will be for my brother's wedding...I would like to try on the dress after it gets altered/before the wedding to make sure it fits correctly.
2.)If something goes wrong with altering, I would rather it not be yet another source of fighting with my mom. Let's just blame this on me.
Ok this has gotten far to long. I feel like there's more I could write but seeing as I am telling more and more people that I have started bloging again, I feel it wouldn't be nice to make you read such a long post.

Aw, we like reading! Aren't you the one who told me you liked it when I write a lot?
It's funny, when I think "diverse background" somehow Alice isn't the first name that springs to my mind. That you haven't, but just, mostly in the west and midwest, so it's not like Alice has lived in New York and LA and, well, you get the idea.
