Coffee

A little over a year ago I purchased the greatest thing ever...My Keurig coffee maker. I loved waking up to my 12 oz personal brew of coffee. I was in heaven. Whenever I wanted coffee or green tea I just popped in my little k-cup of goodness and had instant gratification in as little as 2 minutes.
Then it happened...It stopped...just stopped...I was so perplexed. I was actually an hour late to work because I was frantically trying to figure out what happened and did everything I could think of to try and fix it. Didn't work.
So in lieu of the above my very lovely friends got me a gift card for my birthday last week so I could replace my coffee maker with the mother of all Keurigs. My mornings are happy again.

Birthday

Today is my Birthday! I celebrated this weekend with some of my close friends. We first started off at The Village Idiot. A very pub like place in Melrose. Kind of cool. I'm not extremely up on beer, but I wanted something different.
The menu was entertaining...Pies, No Face, Two Legs, Four Legs, and No Legs and the food was quite good as well. My drink not so much, but that's OK as I managed to spill it on my boyfriend sitting across from me. No worries, he had fast reflexes.
After supper, as they referred to it, I got to try my first Heavenly cupcake from Bake you Happy. It was delectable! Then we promptly walked down to The Groundlings show.
I had never been to a comedy club before but it sounded fun...like Saturday Night Live skits. There were some funny parts...not sure I'd go back, but I laughed. They included one of my friends in their skit and he even got a little ass action.
Overall not a bad weekend.
I got exactly what I wanted....WICKED tickets. I'm extremely excited and cannot wait!
However, I've seemed to make it through the whole weekend without a single picture. I guess I will just have to remember years to come from this post alone.

Sleep

I find myself unable to sleep much lately. It's really only been the last few months, but it is starting to really effect me. In the past it's always been because of work. Too many issues not enough time in the day. But lately it's been about life.

What do I want...why do I feel so unhappy? It could be that the last 5 years have been completely devoted to work and devoid of human contact, other than the Israeli programmer type. I moved here 5 years ago thinking that my life was finally taking off. I had a great job and I was starting over on this amazing journey.
Unfortunately I soon realized that no one really wanted to do anything but work, so I followed suit not wanting to disappoint my new boss and his expectations...It worked. I have tripled my salary and my boss has on many occasions told me we never would be here if not for me.

So now I lay here in the dark...Alone...and I realize it hasn't only been a few years. It's been 5...and I have very little to show for it personally. The money and the job didn't make me as happy as I thought it would.

So a little late, but here are my 2011 goals:

1. Update resume and seriously consider other professional options in life. (i.e. New City)
2. Go to NY City at Christmas time.
3. Venture out of my comfort zone and meet new people.
4. Don't love someone who can't/won't love you back.
5. Write more as I find that my mind has actually stopped running in circles this very second.

Zzzzzzzzz...
