I totally just wrote a huge blog about how depressed and lonely I was, and why.
Apparently it wasn't meant to be seen, because it deleted itself.
Self-worth FTW.
I'm getting out of here.

I've been going a long time without the internet, and when it's working and not breaking all the time, I never seem to find the time to go on here.
So here's an update, for shits and giggles.
A) Still working in ye Olde Saybrook. Still too far of a ride for me. Still contemplating it's worth.
B) Still living in my apartment, still with Jorge, still have three cats.
C) Still overwork myself and never seem to find time for me, and I only see the very few friends I have left (they apparently can dig that I have no time for anyone, they accept me regardless if I'm a workaholic!) once in a blue moon, with the exception of "Girl's night" which has kept strong for over a month now. We've beaten the conflicting schedule situation!
D) I'm pretty sure that only My mother, Myself and Jorge were the only people we know personally that were deeply saddened by the loss of MJ.
E) I'm going to be enjoying this weekend. I'm not going to overwork myself per usual.
I also have a short week coming up, I have Friday the 3rd off due to holiday reasons.
I've also taken my birthday off, though it is a wednesday. I'm still celebrating my birthday the weekend before, and the weekend after, so those who still consider me a friend can come chill if they like.
That is all.

Current mood:  awake
I've decided that this Rainy Saturday would be perfect for Spring cleaning so that is what I'm doing today. Yay.
This is a short blog, just a quick update:
A) Whoever tried to call me last night, I vaguely remember answering the phone but I don't remember what was said by either party. Explanation: I felt blah last night and decided not to go out, and wanted to sleep so I took a mild sleeping pill. As you know, I'm REALLY sensitive to sleeping pills and I slightly recall waking up talking gibberish in the middle of the night. So whoever it was that called, if I spoke nonsense to you, No, I'm not on illegal drugs, and I have not gone insane. I simply slipped into a sleeping pill coma only to awaken half-retarded. Forgive me for whatever I may have said.
B) Work is going ok. Long hours, Long drives, Lots of miles, but It's ok. The paycheck is worth it. And I'm now a recovering night owl....I've been sleeping regular-people hours, and I'm not quite used to it yet but I'm getting there.
C) Jorge and I are just fine......PLEASE stop asking about it, everyone.
D) Happy Easter and whatnot.
And that's it.
Bye now.

Current mood:  bitchy
I've been just randomly lurking on my friend list and reading all of their blogs and their status messages (because I'm so completely bored) and it's making me upset!
The vast majority of my myspace friends (my off-the-web friends as well) are already having a shitty 2009.
I don't really mind it thus far. It's just another year to me. Probably consisting of the same old thang, Working, Paying Bills, Cleaning, Spending time with my friends and such with a few new things in between. I don't see the point in saying "OMG I'm going to do ____ in year ___" or "I'm going to make sure this year is the best one yet" etc anymore. Because thats why we HAVE to say it every year, because every year some shit ends up sucking. But why go into it negatively either?
I don't know. All I know is, cheer up kids. It's just another year. Jeez.

I survived. Christmas is FINALLY overwith. My bank account isn't in the negatives, I still have a substantial amount of money to live off of. I ended up getting some pretty rad stuff. So all-in-all it wasn't awful. We now have a new alternator in the Pontiac. ("Merry Christmas, Rosarios, hope you enjoy a car that won't start."--God)
SO anyway. We had fun with the family and everyone I knew pretty much got everything they wanted so, yay. Wonderful.
I'm so glad it's over. I cannot WAIT until I take that damned tree down and all the decorations. That's what I'm going to do RIGHT now. If I wasn't so trashed last night I would have done it then.
Humbug,
Amy

Beth made an awesome bulletin the other day. This goes beyond lame myspace surveys, and made me laugh after a shitty day at work. LOVE YOU!
Re-Post:
STUCK ON AN ISLAND WITH YOUR TOP 4 THEY ARE :
1) Amber 2) Jeff 3) Amy 4) Jorge
ON THE ISLAND
Who starts crying and saying their too young to die? Amy. Not that Amy is the most depressed -- no no. Amber would give up and surrender to death instantly. Jeff and Jorge wouldn't accept their fate until their final moments.
Who tries to make a raft out of grass and palm leaves? Jeff would start first, Jorge would get the supplies, Amy would help weave it, and I'd make suggestions and test it's raft-ability. Amber already gave up.
Who's chasing a squirrel so they can eat it? Jorge. Jeff would use half the island's resources to build a steam-powered squirrel-catcher that would take way too long to make, and Amy would find plants and call it a salad. Amber might eat "salad" too, but there would be no point -- she already gave up.
Who helps make the shelter? Jeff and Jorge, while Amy and I told them that they were doing it wrong.
Who becomes depressed and says that there's no hope? Hmmm.... Oh, yeah! AMBER!
Who actually tries to think of a plan to get out? Jeff, Jorge, Amy and I. Jeff would want to do something lavish and ridiculous -- like building a submarine out of coconuts and crabs. Jorge would want to do something practical -- like smoke signals -- but it would probably fail anyway. Amy would be too pissed to plan for a while. I would probably figure that someone would come looking for us and not want to waste our resources. Amber would be drawing pictures with a stick on the sand.
Who starts jumping up and down screaming? Probably Jorge.
Is there alcohol on the island?.. Why do I get to choose what's on this island? If there is, it wouldn't last long.
Who's in denial and looking for the hidden camera? If anyone got that idea it would be me or Amy. Amber still wouldn't even care.
TWO WEEKS LATER
Who goes crazy and digs underground claiming they're looking for China? Amber. Def.
Who gets so bored they're carving equations on a rock for fun? I would say Jorge and I would give each other equations, but Jorge isn't very competitive. So Jorge and I -- separately.
Who goes missing after looking for a good spot to tan? Amy. Jeff and Jorge don't need to tan, I don't want to tan, and Amber is looking for China, remember?
Which person comes back after two minutes of looking for food because there is none? None of us would give up that fast, but like I said -- Amber gave up a while ago.
Which person actually comes back with food but takes days to find it? Jorge. Jeff would pass everything up that was too fatty or green and starve.
Which person goofs off and does barely anything at all? Jeff and Jorge would goof off while helping us and Amber would do nothing at all while waiting for death.
Who still hunts squirrels even when they get back home? Jorge. He might even do that already. Hehe.
How rad is that? lol!

Category: News and Politics
So I'm excited. Democrats, FTW.
On to other news,
Still working all the time. Jorge isn't working 70 hour weeks anymore, he's back down to 40-50 or so. So we have some free time. We've been hauling ass trying to fix this house up and so far, so good. We're still financially stable, and we're much better than we used to be, marital wise.
He's coping with his problems and I'm coping with mine, we're sorting things out and I think we're on the right track to marital bliss. I hope to god it stays this good, to ask for more would be greedy, after going through so much hell to get to this very stage of life, anyway.
I just thank god every day that I have my husband, my family, my friends, my smarts, my career, my cats, my tea, and my awesome hair. =)
For once I feel like I'm not bogged down with worries. I almost feel a little empty without them, and my subconcious is trying so hard to make worries to replace the ones I lost, like worrying about not worrying. How silly is that? But it happens. You feel like everything is going ok and it makes you wonder "well, am I missing something? Did I overlook something? This isn't right something must be wrong."
Ignorance is bliss, but actually knowing you're ok and prepared for the next fallout is warm, fuzzy, and safe.
<3 Hope you're all ok! And my condolances for the one's who voted Mccain. Actually, my condolances for the ones who voted Nader. And for Nader himself the poor bastard. Someone give the man a hug. =(
Later!

Current mood:  grateful
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes
I'm so indescribably happy that I had to blog about it.
Even though I'm pretty sure no one reads this thing anyway, I'd like to document a Milestone that I can look at during the hard times I will inevitably face in the future (because everyone does).
First off, My appologies for never being around, never calling, never visiting. Once you read this, you will understand.
I'm proud to say, that for once in our entire marriage, Jorge and I have finally achieved Financial Stability.
That's right. Financial freaking Stability. I can say that without knocking on wood or praying it wont change. (Shit happens. Always does, to everyone at one point or another. And finally, we're prepared.)
After many months of hard work and compromises, of double-time and sacrifices, we have finally reached a goal, and are persuing much more.
I was the number one person to step up and say "There is no such thing as financial stabilty". That's B.S. If you work hard enough, and you make small sacrifices here and there, it takes awhile but you can achieve anything. The irony is, in the past 2 years, Jorge and I were so screwed up financially...and we acheived stability in the absolute WORST time in this economy. That's just crazy.
Today I did a detailed budget history and schedule up until 2009. Jorge and I are completely comfortable. No, We don't have money to go on a Caribbean Cruise or to buy a big Flat screen TV. But financial stability is not about having your cake and eating it too, all the time. We're comfortable. No worries. Something we've been hoping to acheive for two years. We can Christmas shop, and pay Jeff back for the Hat that Jorge lost (Still so ticked at him for that!!!) and be able to buy Birthday gifts for people we care about. We are even able to go out to a fancy dinner once and awhile, and be able to buy clothes for the colder season coming up. Doesn't seem like much when you've got it easy...but I'll tell you...after wearing the same ol' stuff (faded by a million washes and dries) for a long time and after starving because you can't afford to eat and you'd rather go hungry so your cats and spouse don't, after freezing in the winter because you can barely afford the insane cost of heat, after not traveling farther than the local Walmart because you can't afford the insane cost of gasoline...well for once in my life I feel like I'm on the right track. Sure I'm not shopping at Tiffany's and I'm not eating Lobster every night and blowing my nose with 100 dollar bills. But I feel richer than the most wealthy people in the world. Just because we worked so hard for everything that we have. I don't care that I am Thrifty and frugal. It actually made me a better person. And for a recovered shopaholic thats a big deal.
I'm sure you don't care to hear about and end of a financial struggle, especially with this economy so bad that NO ONE can survive and keep what they have....but I had to write about it. I'm proud, and I should be. I worked really hard to eleviate my debt and get back into the swing of things.
Jorge and I are really lucky to have made the mistakes we've made along the way so early, because now we'll be ok in the future when we need to be, like when we decide to be parents. (We've also held off on trying to procreate. We decided it's not the right time, even if we're financially stable, we're financially stable for us, not for a child.)
So many people I know either have it one way or another. There are some that have someone who can bail them out of money woes, and they don't have to worry about it, and there are others who are in so deep that they're over their heads.
We were those people, over our heads. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I promise. We did it all on our own. I hope our families and friends are proud of us, because we didn't look to you to bail us out or to even help. We made the commitment and stuck to it. For you. For us. But without your unending emotional support, we wouldn't have made it this far.
Thanks for listening.
I'm going to go to work now, and appreciate my full-time career, even though sometimes I feel like I deserve two days off like everyone else, sometimes.
<3 you all.
