Apologies to my fans for lack of posts. I was doing so well after NaBloPoMo too.

Now let's get down to me and what I've been up to . . .

1.) I've officially decided to move to Naperville, IL at the end of May. I know I announced this on twitter, but I'm sure some of you have trouble looking to the right.

Ever since I made this decision I've felt a lot better about my life. Don't get me wrong, living in Nevada is great . . . if you want to go nowhere and do nothing . . . but it's time to move on. I like/ (okay I'll say Love) all the people I've met here, but just not enough to stay permanently. And let's face it, my brother needs me. His life is just one big mess without me living in the same state and I can't let that go on any longer.

I know what you're thinking and don't worry, I'm aware of the weather situation over there. I know it will be unpleasant . . . the humidity . . . there's been some talk of wind . . . and the snow. Just calm down . . . I'm aware of it. That doesn't, however, mean I won't bitch and complain when I am actually living in it.

As for what I am taking with me . . . not much. Only what will fit in my car. Frankly, I have to much stuff anyway. It's time to clean out my room and say goodbye to a lot of craft supplies that have somehow accumulated. I'm sure goodwill will be excited though.

2.) I finally had to get new rotors ( and brake pads). My brakes were making a screeching noise when I stopped and for some reason, instead of letting this continue for several weeks, I took care of it right away. It was expensive, and I'm pissed that it happened in February, because I think this month is unfair and unreasonable when it comes to paying bills, but it's taken care of . . . for the most part. Let's just hope my clutch doesn't go out before I leave too.

One thing I do enjoy is the lack of violent shaking my car used to make when I would come to a stop.

3.) I got in trouble at work. Don't worry, they already hate me there anyway . . . so nothings really changed. Apparently, they don't appreciate the forging of signatures*. Who knew? So, I was unfairly punished and it seems as though they don't like me any less than they already did.

Why don't they like me in the first place you ask? . . . I think they're intimidated by my intelligence and beauty. It may also be because I don't kiss their asses on a regular basis./ I don't know what happened, I used to be so good at kissing ass. I guess as you get older things change.

4.) My bowling team is doing better. I believe we will be in second place tomorrow. Of course, I am the only remaining original team member left.

Two of my team members moved away in November, and were replaced by the amazing "Kingpin" (as he's known on the streets of Reno) and the super sweet T.R. . . . who, has little skill when it comes to bowling, but her handicap makes up for it.

Then, at the end of December, M.N. lost his job and could no longer afford the 15 dollar weekly fee. After a month of him not showing up, we replaced him with The Kingpins mother, who is slightly better than me.

Hopefully we will finish in first place and win lots of money that will contribute to my move.

5.) I got a new phone. I was out at a bar one night, and up to no good of course, when a drunken me reached for my phone in my pocket to text someone about something, when I dropped my old phone.

Usually you can drop a phone and it will still work.

Not this time. This time it would have none of that working again nonsense.

I took out the battery and let it rest, put it back together 30 minutes later . . . but nothing. Just a stripy screen . . . the kind a broken tv might have.

I yelled at the top of my lungs "WORK PHONE! WORK! . . . I'M SORRY I DROPPED YOU, BUT WE CAN WORK THIS OUT . . .IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN" I swore. But my phone didn't care. It didn't want to be hurt again, so it just gave up.

I panicked. You can't go from having an android phone to having an old piece of crap blackberry. My contract wasn't up for another year and a half, and I didn't have insurance.

So I talked to my brother, the gadget expert. . . . he said there was no hope.

The next day I went to T-Mobile and told them my phone had stopped working for some mysterious reason ( I left out the "I dropped it" part). They said that since there was no water damage it would be covered under warranty.

HOORAHHHHHHH! OH HAPPY DAY! ETCETERA, ETCETERA!

All I had to do was call a number and tell them what happened and they would send me a new phone.

Unfortunately they didn't have my old phone in stock anymore, so they sent me an LG Optimus T.

So far I like it. It's way better than having to use my old blackberry for the next year and a half.

And that's all I can think of . . .

* I didn't forge a signature in order to get money from someone who didn't leave me money if that's what you were thinking I would never ever do that), it was much, much much much much much X 1000, stupider than that.
