You better hang on if you're tagging along...Cause we'll be doing this till 6 in the morning...

'Lo all. Summer has begun and I've moved into the apartment (FINALLY). (FYI, all of my side thoughts are going into parenthesis.) Everything is going pretty well thus far: Target is working me like a slave. (That's fine, I need the money). Eli and Bo are living together. (Two of my favorite people under the same roof, what could possibly go wrong?) I'm on a diet and tanning. (Ow ow ow sunburn.) Vacation, summer workshops, and Em's wedding are all set and I'm counting days. (Gatlinburg, TN: I don't think my family is capable of going anywhere else and workshops should be a blast...) I'm not overly inspired to write today, but I felt like I need to do an update so that it doesn't get lost like my MySpace...(Not that I still use it, the only people that I was keeping up with all got a Facebook to save me the trouble.)

Eli and I both working has created an interesting situation- We don't work enough of the same shifts to see each other except at night after he gets off work and in the morning. It's not a huge issue, it's just one of those things we are having to work through. Believe me, it won't slow us down. We are both too hardheaded to let something like work or even a summer apart hurt our relationship- It just makes it stronger. And feeling the inspiration coming on, I have to thank a couple of people... To the three exs before Eli.

To the two crappiest men I have ever had the misfortune of knowing- Thanks to the both of you for making me appreciate the good ones. Between the manipulation, alcoholism, verbal and emotional abuse, cheating, and lies the two of you had more than enough power to bring me down and make me feel like I wouldn't be worthy of REAL love. I never loved either of you- One of you was just a pathetic attempt to get over the only other good boyfriend I've had, and the other was a product of my low self esteem. Guess what? Neither of you were man enough to break me.

And to the only other good boyfriend I've had: Mr. Benefield, you were an awesome boyfriend until the very end. You are a good, good person and I like that we are still friends now. We didn't have one bad moment until we went our separate ways and I don't hold one bit of ill feeling for you at all. I wish all of the best for you in everything you do- believe me, you deserve it.

That's all for now. Deuces!
