Like always, not much new. I did get a job at Beaner's coffee, it's only a ten minute walk so I'm happy. I don't know yet how many hours I'll get or what I get paid, but I really hope it's enough to pay my rent. I don't think I'll mind working in a coffee shop, it's gotta be way better than Subway. I go in tomorrow to meet with the owner, I don't think I'm gonna be starting tomorrow because he's seeing us all separately (they're hiring two other girls as well).

Derek and I tried again last week, but we ended up breaking up for good Tuesday night. It sucks, and I feel kinda down, but I'm glad I have my friend Steve. If I haven't mentioned him before, he's this gay guy from Lake Orion that I met through a friend from school. We watch a ton of movies, and The Office which is an awesome show. I also got him addicted to LOST. He said I could come over and watch the Season 4 Premiere with him tonight, he's gonna do work in the other room so it doesn't spoil it for him cause he's only on Season 2. He works for the Oakland County court systems and stuff, doing all their networking. Right now he's also doing some computer work on the side because his hours got cut at work. If it goes well, he wants to start his own business. He's really nice and he's helping me a lot through this icky breakup stuff.

Otherwise, I feel really good. I've been spending a half hour outside when I can stand it, cause Dr. Ingram said it will help with my winter blues. I've been cleaning a lot and keeping everything neat, and it makes me feel a lot better just doing that. I'm also on a normal sleeping schedule again, that helps too. I've been watching what I eat, and I'm using www.mypyramidtracker.gov to help me make good choices. I really like the site.

Hopefully I'll get to see Mom and Dad this weekend. Alaina said that they're driving back home Sunday night, so if I don't have to work on Sunday, I can go to the Super Bowl party! I'm so glad.

Glad to hear you got a job! Sucks you gotta walk though. Especially on a day like yesterday. Sorry to hear about u and Derek. Life shall go on though!! Austin has been sooo sick, it's terrible. He has thrown up on 3 different occasions in the last 9 days. So, we won't be going down to Jer and Marys. I would hate to have him puke in the car on the way down. YUCK!!

I'm glad to hear your feeling better. It always helps when you have good friends to get you thru the depressing stuff. You sounded good on the phone. See you Sat.

Hey you really need to update! I am so sorry I didn't call you on your birthday! Happy Birthday! I thought about it, then I got busy doing other things and forgot. When I come across some money, I will take you out to lunch. How are you doing? I haven't talked to you since we were at moms for her birthday. I miss you lots. Maybe you can come up and stay this weekend? Let me know.
