Some things that suck:

a) My best friend - whom I haven’t really been close to since he started dating The Princess two years ago - hasn’t bothered to contact me all week while I’ve been on vacation. We’re often online at the same time, he says nothing. He has my number, no calls. He dropped John off last night from work, no hello. We’re supposedly so close. I’m sick of being friends when it’s convenient for him. We’re not friends anymore, we’re really just coworkers now. And I’m done.

b) We won’t have as much money to spend in Dublin as I had hoped, but we still have enough to eat yummy festival food and drink beer all weekend. So yeah, I guess that’s a positive, not really a negative.

c) Migraines. Really hoping I don’t have to stay medicated the whole weekend, but if that’s what it takes…

Some things that don’t suck:

a) Went out to buy some capris and other stuff for the trip, and discovered that I’ve lost two pant sizes. I was utterly confused for a minute. And than I did a little happy dance in the dressing room.

b) I’ve discovered a new hobby that could potentially make some money in the future: making jewelry. I have a ton of beads and things, and have already made some pieces to go with my outfits for this weekend (pics later). I think when we get back I’m going to research the whole Etsy thing and see if I could make a go of it.

c) My foot is getting better every day, and I’m no longer limping! No more Gimpy McBrokefoot! The stretches, silly as they seem, are working. And I bought some new sneakers that I’m loving. I may no longer be an Adidas girl. I think New Balance is winning me over. These things are wonderful to my feet. And they’re cute!

d) I managed to get stuff done around the house, even though I was lazy. My office, although not fully furnished yet, is now organized. And the kitchen is sparkling, and the laundry is completely done. I was oddly domestic this week. 

e) Three Words: Dublin. Irish. Festival. GAH. It’s almost here, and I’m beyond excited. We leave for the kennel tomorrow around noon, and then will head straight up to Dublin to check in to the hotel. Hopefully I’ll have many pictures to upload when I get back.

More positives than negatives. I think that’s a good start.
