Origins

I am now using two pay pal accounts to appease the new eBay rule, which is bothersome, but not the end of the world. I also got my CVS card in the mail and my friend Leah made a wonderful suggestion about coupons. She said that she buys her paper from the guys selling it on the street on Sundays for a $1. I feel confident that I'd get a dollar's worth of coupons, so I'm planning on doing this, but didn't do it yesterday since it was my birthday and I didn't do much of anything.

My 32nd year will doubtlessly be one of huge change. It's inevitable since I am currently at the "something's gotta give" point on a lot of personal issues. Tomorrow, I am heading out of town to Savannah with my mom. I always say that I'm from Savannah, but that's not exactly true. I moved around a lot in my early childhood, attending 5 different elementary schools, but Savannah was always a sort of home because my oldest sister settled there and started a family. I only lived there until I was 4, but we always returned there for visits since my sister was there and my mom had many friends. Eventually, my mom moved back there and stayed until just this year where she moved to Atlanta to be near the rest of her children. I guess I'm lucky enough to have two home towns, since I also consider myself to be from Fayetteville, where I went to middle school and high school. Although I didn't think so at the time, Fayetteville was a good place to grow up. I thought it too homogeneous and boring at the time, but I made life-long friends there and somehow we all turned out to be open-minded diverse people, despite our suburban origins.

I still have much Christmas shopping to do and now, thanks to my birthday dough, I actually have some money to spend on gifts.

Today, I'm going to pick up the cable modem and self-install kit from the cable company and I need to mail out something that I sold on eBay. As much as a pain in the ass as eBay has been, it's been my most successful source of income since the beginning of my unfortunate unemployment.

31. Didn't that used to be old?

Thanks for the compliment. :) Ha!

Yeah, 31 use to be old. What's the "new" old now?? My standards are seriously loosening. With 31 impending and all...

I'm so glad you are on blogger now. I love this format. I like how it's personalizable! Or whateves.

I love you! Wanna get pedis tomorrow?? Call me. I could be convinced to buy yours.
