Oh Winter, Will You Ever End?

So I'm sitting here dreaming about the summer and all the wonderful thing I'll be doing at this time in 6 months. First of all it won't be dark at this time which I would love right about now. Second I could walk outside to have a cigarette without freezing and shivering. I hate being a smoker and I hate it all the more when its the winter. I could take interesting pictures that aren't all white and snowy. There are a lot of things that I miss right now about the summer but of course I can't change the weather and I obviously am not going to move right this minute so I guess I'll shut up and write about something else.


Things have been very slow at work and I have only been working about one day a week. Thankfully I at least have that one day a week to survive on. Its hard and it takes a lot of money saving shortcuts like shoplifting-what? Just kidding! No, recently Reina has been calling me a little bit Jewish, but when you only have $60 to live on for a week it take a little Jewishness to make it through the week, let me tell you honey. Hehehe! Plus when you spend all your extra money on books it goes fast. It also doesn't help that I can go through a four hundred page book in a one day of laying around the apartment. I think I may have to pull out some books I've already read and reread them because I just don't have the money to spend on reading new books right now. The one good side to not working a lot is all the time I've been spending with Lola and I love spending time with that little 6 year old. She is so sweet and funny and she usually has Reina and I laughing hysterically at her most of the day. I am so lucky to have her around me everyday. Its a joy and a privilege.


I did my first photo shoot with Steph and Vin for their engagement pictures on Saturday. I think they turned out great and I can't wait to work on them and get them looking perfect. I feel confident about doing this for people I know and making their pictures great. I have another photo shoot with a pregnant mom and her daughter at the end of the month and I am so looking forward to it. Steph and her Mom and I went wedding dress shopping after we did the photo shoot and the first dress Steph tried on was the perfect one! It was so beautiful to see her dressed like that and finally realize she really is getting married and soon! I also found my dress for the wedding because she has us all wearing different dresses but in the same color. I felt very beautiful in it and am looking forward to wearing it.


I have been brainstorming on what I could do to meet new guys and I am coming up with blanks. I don't have the money to do a Match.com thing and I refuse to go to a bar to meet men. Reina says that if I shaved my legs maybe guys would talk to me and I say that's ridicules because they don't know I don't shave my legs. Heehee! Anyway, if you have any ideas please share them with me because I am ready to start dating seriously and I'm sick of weekends going by where I have nothing to do because all my girlfriends have boyfriends. (Except you Jess, but you're always busy!) Not that I have any money to go out with but hey, that's what the men are for right?!


I hope you all are weathering the winter well and hope your dreams of summer are as lovely as mine are. The good thing with seasons is that they are a guarantee when so many things in life are not. Thank God for that. Smile and be happy, because although everything may look shitty now there's no way it can just stay that way indefinitely. It always has to eventually get better!
