Revolving

Facebook is kind of the devil.  On one hand it helps me connect quicker and easier with the new friends I'm making but, on the other, it reminds of that I'm not talking to and/or seeing my 'old' friends enough.  I had a talk today about what it means to be friends and what it took to make a friendship work...and it's definitely like any other relationship: it takes two.

So while I'm having a blast making these new friends and focusing on me, I shouldn't forget about the ones I don't see that often.  Goal for this week is to text (I know, a phone call would be more genuine, and before I start making excuses I guess I could call in the 10 minutes it takes to drive home from work or the 30 minutes it will take me to drive from my apt to my parents on Wednesday...I did just give that advice to a friend on Sunday - okay so rambling means instead of text I'll make a call to) the friend I've got in mind that I'm neglecting.  But part of me wonders if they're neglecting me?  I can't take the full blame, like I said it takes two.

Roar.  My blogs lately are uber depressing.   On the plus side, work has been nuts.  I'm $10,000 below where I should be on ad sales, yet I keep getting No after No after No.  I wish I had help, or rather that I was the help for the person whose main job was ad sales!  My poor intern got hit with ads today...I hope she does good :)  If I get 10 of the 20 schools we'll be calling this week to take out an ad, that should be quite close to the $10,000 I need.  Fingers crossed!

On top of crazy life at my main job (we're two months behind, going on three!  but it's not my fault, phew!) and the part time job at the theatre (which I LOOOVVEEE and won't ever leave!), my social activity is on the increase.  I've gone out at least once every weekend since the new year and think I've found the balance with regards to spending whilst out.  It's nice being social - i've already met so many new people in my city...and the best bit is they're roughly my age (okay, a few are still babies) and are career focused right now like me.  At least the girls are haha.  But, the other thing keeping me busy is my mom.  She just had knee surgery (four weeks ago) and I've been over there every weekend and during the week as much as possible to help out.  The doc told her she was right on target with recovery today, which made her feel good because she was starting to get frustrated, thinking she was going backwards in the progress department.  I'm so excited for her - I can'tw ait for her knee to get back to how it should be so she can start walking and traveling again like she likes.  I'm bribing her with a trip in August, probably to Nashville, but we'll see!  She's suppose to pick the destination, but she refuses.  Maybe in July she'll decide :)

well, i was writing to kill time before Castle came on, and it's about that time.  and talking about what i've been up to lately cheered me up and reminded me i'm not a shit person and/or friend...but i'm still gonna call that person wednesday.
