“…In This Crazy Little Mixed Up World”

OMG, I haven’t been in this great of a mood since I don’t know when.
I just feel like telling someone about it.

Granted, these last few weeks have been terrible for me…I’ve definitely hit rock bottom and I know things can’t possibly get worse for me.  I just know that I have to keep my head up and move on!

Let me start off by saying:

1.  I was in a wreck a few weekends ago:
A girl pulled right out in front of me and said “she didn’t see me.”  Tore up the passager side of my car and one of my wheel covers.
2.  Good thing she had insurance.  She was 100% at fault and I didn’t have to pay a single cent for anything.  Well except for gas in my rental car.
3.  The whole process took about a whole day.  By the time I called the insurace company 3 times, called the repair company, took my car in, and called to get a rental car….my whole day was shot.
4.  The next weekend – I found out I have fraud on my checking account.  Great.  Some website got a hold of my debit card info and charged about $600 worth of stuff to my checking account.
5.  What a nightmare.  Another day, shot.  One the phone with these websites, who couldn’t tell me a damn thing…not even a company name or her name.  Yes, she was foreign and I could hardly understand her.  Go figure.
6.  In and out of the bank about 4 different times trying to open a new account, close my old one, do paperwork, etc.  Thanks for the money dad.  I really appreciate it!
7.  Then being put on hold for at least 30 minutes just to claim fraud and answer a million questions that I didn’t have the answer to, only because these websites couldn’t tell me a damn thing about how they got my info.
8.  To top it off…I go to pick up my car at the shop…and they didn’t fix it all the way.  They totally looked over my wheel cover.  It was still cracked.  Good thing I caught it before I drove away.  They said “oops, we’ll fix it for you next week.”  Great, this means I have to take off work an hour early just to have them replace my wheel cover.

How could things possibly get worse for me?
I have grown up so much over the past 3 weeks, it’s unbeliebable.  I can’t even describe how much I’ve learned.
And you’re wondering why I’m in such a great mood? 

* Whitney is coming to visit this weekend and we are skiing at Angel Fire, NM.
We already have our hotel room booked right there at the resort (ski in/ski out).  Twin Tip Nation will be there this weekend too, so I’ll be able to ski for free!!  This will probably be my last skiing adventure out here so I want to make it fun!  I’m trying to talk her into dying her hair red again.  Who’s with me???

Angel Fire is one of my most favorite places to ski out here!  The people are great, the snow is perfect, and have I mentioned they have a short bus in the terain park?  They even have animal cut-outs on the trees!!  Yeah, it’s awesome!  I think I love it so much because it’s owned and operated by Texans…NOT New Mexicans.  Is that mean?  I don’t care.

* Ryan is coming out to visit on Feb. 12th.  We don’t really have any plans and I love it.  We’ll probably do a hike, go to dinner, maybe do the tram, etc.  I think I’m going to start packing that weekend too!  Yay!!  Dad – I might even take him to Turtle Mountain.  We’ll see if he likes it as much as you guys did!

* Have I mentioned I’m moving home?!?!?!

* I got a call about a Graphic Design job from an International company!  It sounds great and I’m so excited to see what he has to say about it.  The guy who called me is also moving (from Chicago to Cincinnati), so he is familiar with my situation and would like to talk on the phone with me either later this week, or early next week.

 

I can’t wait to be home!
