Wow... it's been a long 6 months

Okay... so I haven't updated this in forever... but now y'all get to see my loverly drama that's happened over the last several months.

So from the first week after moving in me and my ex roommate were having issues. I never had a problem with anything that she was doing, but she always had lists and lists of things that I was doing that was driving her crazy! She was constantly telling me that I was doing things wrong. Well shortly after my birthday 1/30 we had a huge blow out because we were watching a TV show one night and I thought she had fallen asleep, and so I looked over at her and she was awake so I said 'You breathe loud' and she blew up and didn't speak to me for over two weeks. Apparently me saying that told her 'you're fat'. Whatever. So I thought we had made up but then when Sydnie was out here at the beginning of March my ex roommate wrote me a letter telling me that I was stomping on their generosity, it basically stated that I am a horrible person and that I needed to leave, so they kicked me out. Since then I've thought of the hundreds of dollars that I spent on her. I thought she was a good person, but apparently I was horribly wrong. I thought she was my best friend but it turned out that she was just a horrible person, and I regret moving in with her, I regret being her friend. Sadly I can't handle being friends with any of her friends right now. I just can't handle it, so I've backed off, I don't know if I'll ever be able to handle it or not.

The only thing I don't regret is that I'm on my own out of my parents house. Maybe that was the point of all of this crap that happened. Getting me out of my parents house.

Well I now have an apartment of my own downtown Salt Lake, I've got a great job, and my kitty is finally happy and relaxed. She knows exactly when I get home from work and is right there at the door to greet me every night. It's sooo cute! She's finally playing again, and loves her toys that Sydnie gave me.

I love my apartment, (here's a link to what it looks like before and after the move and the layout of the apartment: http://s328.photobucket.com/albums/l360/ainuragar/My%20Apartment/) other than the person upstairs that paces back and forth from about 2 am to 6 or 7 am every night it's really quite. I have only run into a toothless biker who lives in the building, other than that I haven't had to talk to anyone. My building is right across the street from a grocery store so it's going to be really bad when I suddenly get the case of the munchies. My apartment is about 550-600 sq feet. I'm not exactly sure. It's pretty big. When all of my stuff was first put in the apartment it seemed cramped, then when I got everything put away it's huge! I love it! The first two or so weeks my oven didn't work, and the maintenance guy is really creepy... but I was able to handle him coming in and fixing my oven. So I've been able to use it, I made chocolate chip cookies and cupcakes so far! Yum! But now I wanna figure out what else I can cook... I don't usually cook much other than boxed foods for myself, but I'm going to have my mom and dad down for dinner when my mom gets back from North Carolina and helping my sister-in-law who had a baby in January (on my birthday in fact!) as my mother's day gift to her.

I've been working over time so that I can afford to go on vacation this July with my mom. We're going to drive out to North Carolina, so hopefully I can see my oldest brother's oldest son get baptized. So we're driving out there, then I'll fly home so I'll be out there about six and a half days. I've told my mom that I'll help with gas and she said that she'd have me pay for two fill ups so I'm budgeting $100.00 for that, I'll have to pay for my own food so that's another $150.00, I want spending money so I'll budget $150.00 for that, I desperately need a new swim suit so that's going to be close to $100.00 and then my flight home I'm hoping is no more than $300.00 currently it's about $150.00 but I might as well plan for a higher rate. So I'm budgeting about $800.00 for this trip. I'm sooo excited for this trip! I'm going to be working a ton of over time to be able to afford it, but it'll be so worth it! Of course it doesn't hurt anything that I have a date when I go out there!
