about 6 months ago i made a decision that changed the course of my life as i know it.
i moved out of my amazing house. put all of my earthly belongings into storage. moved back in with my parents. slept on an airmatress in my sisters room and didn't really know what i was doing...
i had a plan. a big plan. i was moving to orlando. i was going to paul mitchell. i was going to finally "do" something with my life.
instead, i somehow ended up in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. sharing a bed with my hetrosexual life partner and our two dogs. working two jobs and loving every minute of it.
snow came. winter had made its awful appearance and i wasn't too happy about that. i bundled up and awaited summer with bated breath.
february came and so did the U-Haul we packed up all of our belongings (mine mostly being clothing and makeup) packed our pups into our friend Jens car and headed out to the city of brotherly love, (otherwise known as Philadelphia).
i was unemployed for the first time in my life. this unemployment lasted two weeks. it was the most miserable two weeks of my entire life. i hunted and pecked my way through craigslist looking for that perfect job. i didn't find it. my job found me.
i became a "professional" food runner for a rather hoity toity restaurant known as Osteria. this basically meant i was a glorified servant. doing everything and anything that the chefs required of me. i was, as well, the only female that worked so closely with the kitchen. i started thanking my lucky stars that i grew up with many boys.
it snowed. and snowed. and snowed. and snowed. and snowed.
my friend bonnie reminded me daily "in like a lion, out like a lamb" i wasn't satisfied with this answer. i wanted sun. i longed for the sounds of summer. i loathed wet cold snow. and wind. and rain. and ice storms. i began to hate the sight of my coats and gloves. i became instantly angry when i pulled on my cute target beanie. i wanted to kill that cute pink target beanie. i wanted nothing more to do with winter.
finally, one fiiiiiine day, here came mr. sun in all his glory! out came the dresses and the short pants. out came the pig tails. i was in love, and his name was spring time!
philadelphia seems to be showing me alot more of what it has to offer....and im excited to find out. but i miss everything i once held near and dear to me. everything that was wonderfully familiar and comfortable to me.
