I really have no idea what I want to do with my life. So many people my age (and quite a few younger) are already well on the way to having the careers they want, but I know nothing about what I want. I can’t think of anything that I would enjoy to do every day or anything I’m remotely good at. I feel so disappointed with myself that I’m not moving in a more definite...

I got an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) statement from my old job in the mail today. I had completely forgotten that I still had money in the company. And then there’s the money that I still have in a retirement account there that isn’t in the ESOP, too. It’s not a whole lot of money, but it isn’t anything to sneeze at, either.
But there was a packet of paperwork in...

I’m watching the pilot episode of Alcatraz, and so far there have already been two Lost references from Jorge Garcia’s character (that I’ve caught). He said something about “the last time I was on the island,” and one of the books he wrote was titled Alcatraz by the Numbers.
Am I a nerd for catching those?
When I was at the grocery store earlier today, there were these two cute guys in there who were all but holding hands as they were going through the store. They were so cute together!
It was kind of a strange (but welcome) thing to see in central Mississippi, AKA The Buckle of the Bible Belt.

My mom saw The Help for the first time tonight.
She felt it necessary to stop the movie and make sure I knew that they didn’t have help/servants in the house when she was growing up.
Twice.
Breakfast for supper is always a good thing. :-)

It’s gonna cost me $110 (that I don’t really have to spend) and three hours of my life (two of those driving) just for the dealership to hook my car up to their computer and tell me what’s wrong with it and how much more it will cost for them to fix it.
I love my car, but I really don’t like it too much sometimes.

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t so frugal. Like when I get money, I think to myself, “Hey, i can spend it on this and this and this and this and…..” But then the practical me steps in and says, “Yes, you could, but you really need to save it for when you get a job and have to move out and pay for deposits on an apartment and utilities and….”
And the practical...

Yeah, when Keurig (or, in my case, Mr. Coffee) says to use bottled or filtered water, they aren’t kidding. The water here tastes like it came out of the hose, so my hot chocolate now has an underlying hint of hose water. :-(
My mom and I are at a restaurant waiting for our food. There are at least three people in here playing Angry Birds, and all of them have their volume turned up to 11. Ugh.

WatchThis is what my car (a VW Jetta) started doing tonight. It starts just fine. I didn’t notice until about the third time I tried cranking it that the airbag light is on when I start it. Then when I turn the headlights on, it starts doing this.
Anybody got any ideas what it could be (other than just “It looks like an electrical problem.”)?

I just found out that my 7-year-old cousin got one of those Zelda-themed 3DSes that I’ve been drooling over for the last month or so but couldn’t afford.
I never though I’d be jealous of a 7-year-old.
