I've Been Doing Stuff

What I’ve been doing:

• Turning 30. It happened. I freaked out a little. Then I got over it.

• Being in love. I am a demanding beast and he farts in bed. We fight. He makes me laugh. We snuggle. It’s amazingly awesome.

• Getting a Master’s Degree. Part of the existential-turning-30 crisis told me I need to educate myself more. So I’m doing that. It is a shit ton of work. That is an exact figure.

• Experiencing the marriages of four of my friends. And we’re talking see-them-almost every-day friends. This is a new dimension of friendship; I’ve learned not to call their new husbands “Mr. (Friend’s last name).” Dudes don’t think that’s funny.

• Playing with my super-sweet MacBook Pro. They pried Iris out of my steeled arms, but this new guy...he’s something special.

• Putting an offer on a big girl house. This will be my house. No landlords, no downstairs neighbors. It has both a brand new roof and kitchen. It pretty much was made for me. I want it. Badly. I’ll find out by mid-week.
