worst blogger ever..

So obvi its been a while. Life got strange after my farewell with Inspiration. I think because I had been there for three years, the longest job I've ever had consecutively, and forgot what a new job felt like... or what free time felt like for that matter.

My last post was August 14, so here's a rundown of what I've been doing since..

• I spent a week chillin cause "there wasn't room for [me] on the schedule this week". (MEH.)
• The next two weeks I spent a quaint 16 hours at work each week.  (I was lost because I'd never had so much free time before! & please believe, that wasn't the plan..)
• The following three weeks were spent in Las Vegas with no money but a loving Grandma and Uncles.  Visited friends too which was super great, but we were all broke so no touristy stuff was done. MEH. BUT HEY I GOT TO DRIFT!  (...now where are those videos?)
• During my vacay, INspiration called to offer me a temporary position with the company. I weighed my options and finally gave in..
• I returned home on September 28. Had a dentist appointment that afternoon and prepared myself for the shit-storm to come.

Since September 29, I've had maybe 3 or 4 days off.  I've worked 50+ hour work weeks, something I've never done before but am really glad I'm experiencing.  My medical insurance expired, along with my military base privileges, & then I got super sick, lost my voice, and finally bought myself a neti-pot!  I thought I didn't have a life before, but now I really don't do anything.  I'm even surprising myself by writing this bad boy right now..

I'm living my life, which is what I wanted to do right?  Here I am on October 21, 2011 with two jobs, no medical, a quick trip to Vegas in the works, and no guarantee on anything right now.  I am afraid of the future but SO ready for it at the same time.  I just hope all these risks are worth it.

I feel like the worst blogger ever but I'm hoping to change that.  I want to know what I did with my life later on.  I want to see the changes I went through and the choices I've had to make.  Maybe not every single choice, but the major ones.  I'm sure I've said that before but this time I really mean it.

A Hui Hou!  Malama Pono!

Girl Time

{ Christmas dinner at Alan Wong's 2009 }
Getting together with my girls is important. We may not call or text each other every day or see each other once a week even though we live literally 5 minutes away from each other.. but it's so good when we do get together. We are all pretty busy so before Nikki starts Law School next week, we decided it was necessary considering she may not be able to breathe through this next semester. So, Friday night we all went to Ichiriki, a Japanese Nabe restaurant in town. It's been very popular recently and we equally enjoy it, seeing as we've been there two out of the last three times we've gotten together. It's an ethnic experience with that chill vibe so much that we loose track of time. It's a great atmosphere to catch up with each other, which is exactly what we need when we get together.

I'm definitely making it a point to see them more often.. and to take more pictures. Obviously my collection is stale considering my last picture of all seven of us together was from Christmas 2009..

Farewell

{ Greer came to say goodbye }
So, today is the last day of my time at INspiration. It's been quite a ride for the last three years but it's time for me to move on. On to more happy Liz and less unhappy Liz.

I feel like this is a good step in the direction I want to go in for now. Whether it's the right decision or wrong, it has yet to be learned, but, life is about choices, experiences, and consequences.

I'll take it as a learning experience, either way it turns out.
