Does this mean we fail?

So Amy is the only that has blogged in a LONG time...I'll try, but are we failures at this.

I get to go back to Alabama in a day or so! I'm pretty excited - second visit home of 2011.

Holiday in retail has been rumored to be terrible, but I find it no more terrible than regular life in retail.

I've met a cute new boy...that's exciting I guess.

We moved to a super cool apartment. I recorded this tour for Janise, but I'll share it here.



I like Columbus. I see myself here for at least another year....then who knows. I gave up planning a while ago.

Biggest Blog Ever!

Well, first I would like to apologize. I am the worst blogger ever. I'm trying to be better now that I have a computer (sort of). I'll try to make up for the last 10 months of silence. Here's a thorough update on my life, in picture form.

Amy's Turn

I'm boycotting blogging until Amy writes something.

Ready? Go!

such a seal...

I recently discovered that there is a Seal Beach out here in California. what...a find. I feel like if we don't all take a trip there, we will regret it even more than wearing sunglasses in that one photo.

and now, after a little Google image search, I give you these:

pack your bags.

H...as in suite

I still miss y'all already! and I want to take y'all back to 2006. a time when we lived a few feet away from each other. a time when I would log Amy onto AIM and thoroughly annoy her. this is perhaps one of my favorite pictures ever. it shows Amy's frustration. it shows my ridiculousness and my fear of even committing to a piggy back ride.

so I'm starting a bloggy-blog of my own, but I want to publicly announce that I will stay committed to this blog. clearly I've given it a lot of action, since the last post is from Ashley...on January 31st. keep the faith though. and keep old photos alive.

APARTMENT TOUR TIME!

Well, you guys are blogging way too much for me. MJ is being demanding and asking for a video tour of the apartment...ok, maybe she only sent 1 text suggesting it. Anyways. Here it is.

I still have some work to do, but just thought I'd show you guys around. :)

Oh and Amy, I added this photo to my wall. Because I love it

Columbus has done something to upset God, because we get NO sunshine here. zero. I like my neighborhood. Lots of great local restaurants. Gallery hops on the first Saturday of every month....dog park about a mile away. It's a win for everyone.

kthxbye!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

So I just came in from chasing my wretch of a dog around the park, because she just LOVES to eat the effing snow and ice, fill up her baby dog bladder, and have to pee every 35 minutes for the rest of the night. If I could have tazed her, or had a fist fight with her like a real person, I probably would have. Ready for a thaw...too bad it's months away.

I'm a graduate. 15 months of hard work and it's all over. The shenanigans that started this blog are now over.

So, I'm officially moving to Columbus. Found my apartment. It's in a great neighborhood. I'm excited about my new job, Express seems like a great company. I'm excited about a new chapter in life, but (as always) sad to close this one. Its different than when I left Birmingham. I can't really put my finger on it. I think I really felt like it was time for me to leave there...but I really thought I'd be staying in Chicago for a while. So much for planning anything in life. I'm proven wrong much more often than I'm proven right in my plans or predictions.

So I now sit in Chicago...excited, scared, happy, and sad. Sounds totally normal and stable. Though, Wingo told me I make friends as easily as rotten fruit attracts flies...so I guess that's good :)

I think this is a long-winded way to say that big kid life is hard....

Maybe the grocery store in Columbus will have an "I live alone." section.

My friend Johnny shared this song with me...and I have a baby obsession with it.
