Who signed me up for this?

Ok, so why did I get the Guild Newsletter from the Jewish Guild for the Blind from New York City? It was mailed to me in Boston.

No. seriously, I don't know any blind Jewish people.

I love pressure, I eat it for breakfast!

I don't think that I've had so much stress in my life ever. I mean, if I tell myself any lie at all about why I have the job that I do, I would say, "Ginger, you wanted a low pressure job." Because selling shoes should be, right? But it's not.
I am making more money now than I every have and I'm in the greatest debt of my life. How did I get increasingly irresponsible with a greater and greater income? It's almost as if they are indirectly proportionate to each other.
It's more than just work and money though. I thought everything was straightened out with the roommates, but it's not. Someone backed out on us. I don't need this.
I am so stressed that my neck and shoulder are so tense that I can't fully turn my head to the right. AND I have to do it slowly so that I don't get this shooting pain thru my head, neck and back.
I'm not eating. CAN YOU F-ING BELIEVE THAT?!? I'm not eating!
Do you know that song by Abba, Money, Money, Money? It's my new theme song.
The worst of it is that I know that I will never have a blow-up or breakdown. I am not that person. I will keep taking it. And I don't wonder how much more I can take because I know that I will always take it. Something deep inside won't allow me to put up with someone taking advantage, but if it's just bad luck or bad situations, I will keep taking it. There is no straw that can break this camel's back. So I will never know release. I will never feel like I can be free from it. It will never end.
Stress rage much?

Stop with the metaphors.

Ugh, getting on facebook was a bad idea. Do you have any idea how embarassing it is when you see that someone from high school that you didn't have a very high opinion of is now a lawyer? And then! They might find out that you haven't accomplished ANYTHING? If you can't imagine how that feels, let me help you out - it sucks.
Meanwhile, Mr. AC is slow about responding and I'm thinking that I don't really ... crank his heat up. So back to match.

3 day waiting period crap

Whew, he emailed. But I'm not so sure that it's such a good thing because he took so long.

Back to Match

Uh oh ... Mr. AC didn't call back. Darn.

No AC

So one guy has stopped calling me, which is a good thing. Another has not called me in a week, so that may be tapering off ... which is ok. He's nice, but no romantic feeling.
A third guy called me on Tues night and we talked for 2 hours. Very fun. And he has just now sent me a funny email. I like him and I may call him myself today. Wish me luck.

I really do have thick, luxurious hair.

So the other day, I'm in the shower washing my hair. Per usual, as I rinse the shampoo out, I'm shedding terribly and have a handful of hair. As I open my hand, I spot something that is different, something so different that in a sea of near-black hairs with the occassional coppery streak, it cannot help but be noticed. I will not say what color it was, but it was not a color that I want on my head.

The little traitor.

Still I'm only 29 years old.

7 dates so far ...

2nd date with another guy.
