Weekend Roundup

Kids,

I know I promised to write earlier. But let's face it, I'm not the most reliable blogger. And there's been a lot going on in the past week.

Remember how I said that I hated New Year's Eve? Well, you know what I didn't hate this year? New Year's Day. It was amazing. Seriously. Even though I walked into one of the biggest poop-storms I've ever seen at work, I had enjoyed such a lovely morning with Krystina and a work friend of hers that I didn't even mind. Plus I got a $25 gift certificate to Percy St. Barbeque and a free shot of Bulleit (kids, when you come of the age to buy alcohol, remember that a good way to your mother's heart can always be found through a delicious bourbon).

So anyway, the past week:

I got a new apartment right in Center City. It's small and has ugly gray carpet and linoleum and the radiator is always on the verge of burning the flesh right off your fingertips. But it is, at least until September 1, 2011, my ugly gray carpet and linoleum and firestarter radiator. The move in process has gone quite slowly, to say the least. All I can truly boast to have completed is this: I've hung a picture of Richie Tenenbaum that Krystina bought me, hung a shower curtain and laid down a bathmat, and bought plates. That's pretty much it.

While I planned to move in on Wednesday, I ended up spending 6 hours at work- Moving thwarted.

While I planned to move in yesterday, I got a certain amount of things done before realizing that my best-friend-slash-helper Krystina had to go to work and I had to get ready for work- Moving semi-thwarted.

While I planned to finish moving in today, it started to snow and now it's starting to rain. Moving thwarted and Moira motivated to buy a new computer (from which I write this post -- and yeah, I'm realllllllllllly excited).

Now, back to the work thing. Kids, I might not be writing a lot in the next few days. You see, while I love the people at Marathon Grill, I think I'm ready for new things. And I really do love the people at Marathon. A lot. It's made me feel a lot of feelings that I accepted another position with another company. And Lord knows I hate feeling feelings.

But I've accepted a position with Cantina los Caballitos, a cute little bar with awesome food and drinks and benefits and promising changes in store for me.

So for the next week and a half, I'm working two jobs, trying to finish moving, trying to keep up with my blog, trying to fight the killer head cold that is going around the entire city of Philadelphia, and trying not to lose my mind while doing so.

And, yet, I'm feeling strangely optimistic. Tired, yes. Nose running off my face, yes. Debit card declined in the Apple store because my bank thought I was being robbed because I've been spending so much frickin' money these past few days, yes. But happy? Yes, yes, and yes.

And all we want is a little bit of happiness.
