This is effing LAME.

Today was such a waste. Well not completely I guess because I finished one book and started another. I also worked more on Cassie's wedding invites. I really should have cleaned and done some portfolio work.

But really... I got to the point where I wanted to do something, but do nothing. I was bored almost to tears, but that same force kept me incapable of doing anything about it. Lame lame LAME. Boy I use that word a lot lately.

*Sigh* I'm thinking more and more about this portfolio crap. I don't want to do it. I just don't. I know that's just cuz I'm freaking out about moving on. Among other things. But... meh.

Michigan is a shithole right now. As much as I like it here, the economy is a waste. There's no jobs, people are rapidly losing money, companies are closing, gas prices are rising (everywhere I know, but still)... it's scary. I really should leave... but I have family and friends here. I don't want to go.

But in Fort Worth, I have my cousin. I really miss her and we connect so deeply... I really believe I'm a better person around her. So that's a plus. Also, it'd be a whole new start for me. I just don't know.... it's Texas. It's so far, and it has tornadoes way more often than we do :X That scares the bejeesus out of me. Oh and they have a lot more scary spiders lol

Ugh I'm sitting here feeling so stuck and bored, that I'm actually looking forward to going to work tomorrow. How sick is that??!

Well that's an interesting question, considering the offer that was just made to me.

The most obvious answer to that question is my family and friends. I could probably find happiness most anywhere I lived, as long as they were there with me. That's what really makes a place your home, I think.

But what else? As much as it can by infuriating, annoying, or downright puzzling, I'm often amused by the weather here in Michigan. You often hear people say that if you're concerned about global warming, just move here lol. It's seriously crazy. I remember one day years ago while at Target, it was sunny, raining, snowing, and storming all within a period of an hour or so. Yesterday it was warm enough to wear shorts outside, today it's a bit chilly, and Sunday there is snow in the forecast. Yep, that's Michigan for ya.

I also like how we don't have a lot of crazy weather. Being surrounded by five massive lakes (that Bowling for Soup called oceans once) keeps us relatively safe from that. And they're so gorgeous. I had the pleasure of being along Lake Michigan last summer and it was BEAUTIFUL.

So that's what I love. Great finishing statement, no?
