Hello Again World
I really need to keep up with this better than what I have been. Going months without posting is unacceptable. Although, I was guest blogging for awhile for work, but that is now over as I am no longer a linkbuilder at Webimax. I am now an Assistant Project Manager (APM). Now instead of working on the tasks, I get to do the setups and assign the tasks out. I also get to interact with the clients. I've been in this position for about a month now and I love it. While I do miss the guest blogging aspect of linkbuilding, I really am enjoying what I am doing now.
Along with enjoying my job, I can finally say I am enjoying life again. It took a while to get used to being single again, but I love the fact I can do what I want when I want. I have my confidence back, which was missing probably for about the last 4-5 years. It's like I finally have a somewhat clear plan for what and where I want to go. Bottom line here is I'm happy, with everything, which I haven't been able to say in a really long time.
So...what do I have planned for the rest of the year? It is finally September which means one thing....Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball tour on Monday. I have been waiting for I don't even know how many months for this. All I can say is I hope it doesn't get rained out. Today is one of my best friend's birthday. This means a bunch of us are going to Baltimore next weekend to celebrate. Even though it is only an over night trip, it will be nice to get away. Other than that, the only other thing that is planned is going to see Gary Allen in Atlantic City in November with another friend of mine.
I will have to remember to come back and write more often. It really helps get my mind off reality. I'll have to think of a few topics to write about as well and post them.

So It's Been Awhile
Definitely been awhile since I last blogged. Alot has happened. I've been single now for about three months. It's actually a nice feeling, like I no longer have a weight on my shoulder. I also have a full time job, which is nice. I have also been on vacation. Since I don't have the pictures saved on the computer I'm currently using, I'll make sure to post them in the (near) future.
Moving on.
I have never really known what to write about, which is probably one reason I don't post that often. I was recently looking at my bucketlist (yes I know I'm only 25, but there's a lot of things I want to do). One of those items to cross off is run a 5k. Well, yesterday my friend told me he started a team for the Color Run in Philly being held in July. I thought awesome I want to do it. Not only will it help me cross something off my bucketlist, but it also gives me the motivation to go to the gym to get in shape. It is also giving me a topic I can blog about. So, from now on consider this my exercise journal and see what I plan on doing to get me in shape for July. Day 1 starts tomorrow after work at the gym.

New Year
Wow. So much has happened since the last time I blogged. That's mainly my fault. I was going through alot and didn't really want to do anything except sit and mope.
Let's see...December, Christmas happened and I wasn't sick. For anyone who knows me I am ALWAYS sick around Christmas. These past two years are the first I haven't been. It was quite nice actually being able to celebrate with my family. The highlight of every year is seeing my best friend who lives in Virginia. She came up and we got to hang out one night. New Year's Eve also came and went. Probably one of the worst I've experienced. My boyfriend (well, ex-boyfriend now) broke up with me.
That pretty much sums up December for me. Now it's January. I'm single (for the first time in 3 1/2 years) and I'm 25 (birthday was yesterday). I want this year to be memorable. I don't want to sit around and let life come to me and just go by. I want to get out there and do new things. I want a complete makeover. Looks, attitude, everything.
Some things I definitely want to try to do/experience this year: skydiving, parasailing, go to the wax museum in NYC, maybe go out west and visit a good friend of mine who I haven't seen in years.
If anyone has done anything or gone anywhere that was memorable what did you do/where did you go? I'm open to ideas on what to do to make this year memorable for me.

Happy (Way Belated) Thanksgiving
Everyone has traditions they follow, no matter how big or small. One tradition my family has (or in this case had) was everyone come together at my Grandmom's house and have a big Thanksgiving dinner in the dining room. Well, ever since my Poppy died, it seems all traditions have been lost. We no longer eat in the dining room. Instead we set up a brown folding table in the family room like we did when I was younger for Friday night dinners. We're not allowed to make shells and cottage cheese, which is a dish Poppy and my dad made for Easter and Christmas Eve. And I am not talking about stuffed shells. Poppy was Russian and Polish and stuffed shells is Italian. Shells and cottage cheese is exactly that. Little shells with fried onions and cottage (pot) cheese. Best food I've ever had in my life. It's sad to see such traditions go down the drain. Luckily, my dad feels the same way and is doing everything he can to keep the traditions Poppy started alive.
Things I'm thankful for this year: family (no matter how crazy they are), friends, the opportunity to become friends with two great people, having a job, having a certain boy back in my life, the ability to have second (and third, fourth, etc) chances, a country where I am able to speak my mind, those who are fighting to protect this land so I can speak my mind, the opportunities I've had in my life, the education I received, a house (well my parent's house), food, clothing, and I know there's alot more.

It feels like I've been punched in the stomach
The one thing I love about today: Watching a 2007 Phillies game vs the Mets and hearing the late, great Harry Kalas.
The past two days have been days where either you a)want to punch something or b)feel like the one being punched. As I probably have mentioned before, I believe that everything happens for a reason. I got my chance at what I've always wanted, but I guess the timing just wasn't right. I guess I just have to keep patiently waiting.

Don't have an interesting title for this one. It just is what it is.
Someone finally took a chance one me and it feels good. Well, actually a few people took a chance on me and I was feeling nice enough to reciprocate the chance.
A lot was going on for me personally for a while. I still see certain things not changing, which is making me feel like I did before, but hey, it's only been a few weeks. Things could still change.
As for professionally, I was finally hired and started work last Monday. Tomorrow will be my second week on the job. So far it seems like fun, but I am still in training. I am working for a marketing/seo firm which is something I wanted to do (okay not my first choice since that would be working for the Phillies). It's pretty relaxed and I love the people I'm training with.
I'm just excited that a company was willing to take a chance on me. It actually feels like I'm a someone again. Not just a worthless bump on a log. It's a good feeling. Now I just hope this feeling lasts.
