Be careful what you wish for...

i'm obsessed.

like full on. full blown.

o.b.s.e.s.s.e.d.

so i wanted to get into the site Pinterest, right?

and they weren't approving my request, right?

so my cousin sent me an invite and...

I CAN'T STOP PINNING.

if you miss me, i'll be here:
http://pinterest.com/triciadolan/

Pick me!

Damn you Pinterest and your damn waiting list!

It's been like a gazillion days now and i have yet to be accepted.

My cousin didn't have to wait.

I guess it's true what she said:

"They take all the COOL kids first"

As I am so far from cool it's not even funny, I'm assuming i'll never get into this exclusive club.

Unless...

Unless someone holds the back door open for me and gives me the secret invitation!

:(

Sad face

Want and Need.

So i'm trying to teach myself the difference between 'want' & 'need'.

it's really not as easy as it seems, especially when you grew an only child

well... still are an only child

to parents who tried and tried for more, but it just wasn't in the cards.

Not saying that i was spoiled with material things- the money just wasn't there,

but i had more attention and love than most people in this world

and growing up in the entitled city that i still call home i could be a brat

well... still can be a brat.

So now that i have my own money, it's hard for me to distinguish between 

want...... & ...... need.

   
         BUT since i've turned my life upside down... quit my job... and am becoming a college student

again

I really, truly need to start learning the difference. 

                                                                            

this is the hard part...

Want or need?

i'd say need... right?? both. 

timeless (get it?? time? it's a watch... oooh yeahhh), classy, beautiful, practical.

Day 1.

It was only meant to be temporary from the beginning. i really kind of fell into the position
but i guess not having a college degree and being offered salary at a rate i had never seen before
i couldn't say no.
Fast forward 2 1/2 years and i'm still there. In the job that was supposed to be temporary.
the job that had nothing remotely to do with my interests, but the job that provided me a healthy income.
something had to change.
so...
i put in my notice-
today.
the boyfriend and i talked it over and although we just purchased a home and have a mortgage and bills and grown up stuff
we both know that this is the best thing
i haven't been happy in a long time and i'm not saying that life is supposed to be perfect
but i knew that it wasn't supposed to be this.
so i did it.
i quit my job.
holy shit
i just quit my job.
this is the beginning of my revival.
