February Still Sucks

Even though it's Feb., I can't say things have improved much. It's still freezing out although it's suppose to reach near 50 on Sat. I'll believe it when I feel it. Three weeks from today, I'll be in warm and sunny Costa Rica. I'm still a little nervous about going there. It's going to be a long flight, and I have such a fear of something bad happening like getting lost and separated from the boyfriend, getting kidnapped, etc. I realize it's not that kind of country, but you never know. Did I mention Mel Gibson owns a $26 million estate there? In the meantime, I feel like there's a lot of things I need to get done before I leave. I have to get things in order...little, annoying things. Hopefully everything will have come together before I take off.

Last night, a blogger interviewed myself and a couple of my writers. I guess he's always been a huge fan of ours, so we met up with him for drinks and talked to him for a while. It's nice to know there are people out there who really like us. I've gotten so sick of offending everyone. I will post the link to the interview when it's done. I haven't heard anything about that other writing gig, which is frustrating. It's like, just get back to me! People suck. I go through this everytime I'm in consideration for a job I really want. I really think I'm going to get it and then nothing. It's so unfair. I just feel like giving up. I wonder if I'll ever really be able to do what I want. Maybe I need to start thinking of other options and other cities. I don't know. I guess I'll have to figure things out once I get back from vacation. I'm obviously doing something wrong or not realizing the things I should be.

Our Saucony league is starting at the end of the month. Unfortunately, I'll be in Costa during our first game. I wish that wasn't the case because now the season is going to start off on the wrong foot. It's my job to coordinate the team. Right now we have over 10 people who want to play with only 10 slots. But, I know not everyone is available to play on game day, so we have alternates. I think this will work out okay. I have to coordinate getting everyone their shoes, too. I think the season will be fun. We're going to be bowling (which I hate), doing pub quizzes, spelling bees, and whirly ball. We have some new members, which is cool. This is just another thing I have to worry about, though.

Tomorrow night, I'm going out with the boyfriend and his family to celebrate his b-day. We are going to a fancy French restaurant, which I know I probably won't like. I have a feeling the bill is gonna be astronomical. I suppose it's fun to get dressed up once in a while and eat somewhere nice, but I'm not a fancy restaurant kind of girl. Next week is his official bday. I've decided I'm going to cook him dinner. I think. We'll see how that goes. I feel bad that I don't have much to offer, but I also think it's the non-monetary things that are the best. I just hope that I can make it special. Then of course a couple of days after that is V-Day. It'll be his job to make it special for me.

Tomorrow I'm interviewing one of my fave bands. A lot of my friends keep swooning over them, too. It always makes me happy to interview bands.
