I am so freaking tired yo. I have been working nonstop since Thursday and my dogs are howling!! Today was a light day, i worked from 1:30 till 9:30. Stood the whole time but Saturday was crazy. I was on my feet for 14 hours.
You see it is the busiest time of year for my building, Texas Hall. It is graduation season and we were covering about three or four graduations a day at times, like Saturday. I went in at 7:30 in the morning and got off around 10 that night and i was standing the whole time. I was glad for all the hours though. 14 hours in one day is a lot more money than i made a week last month. And it was like that all weekend so hopefully my bank accoutn will not look so pathetic in a little bit. Yay for money.
I am tired right now. But he is coming to pick me up in a few. I know. I know. But i am testing the waters a little. Plus.....he has dimples dammit. He is so adorable. Short. I dunno what it is with me and short guys. I am short. He is about my height. Yeah, i dunno whatever.
Enough said about that. Let's move on.
Denise has been emailing me like crazee sicne she came up with this whole magazine brainchild. Yes, we are starting a mag for world travelled women. It is mostly exploring differnet countries and cultures and such but we have a very original twost i can't even share on this blog. And i am the "Creative Director." Oh Lord.
Once my cousin is motivated about something, there is literally no stopping her you know. She sends me about fifty emails a day now. She has a mission plan, the first issue planned out and due to come out in the fall, a web designer and a five year plan...... in bloody writing. You have to admire her initiative. But not when she calls you five times an hour and emails you twice as often and expects you to have worked on it. I dunno what the hell she does at her job or where she gets all her time but damn. I am in school still. I have a job. I am busy.
So we are going to be an e-zine for the first year starting this November. She's using the money from her mom's insurance (and it is a lot) to start the whole thing. I came up with the name, African naturally. I am kinda proud of it actually. I am also writing the feature for the first issue and a travel peice on Iran. She is going to Cape Town and meeting me and my family in Dubai this summer so she's writing those two places up. We have the whole year of issues planned out, with who is writing what and where. We cover each continent pretty much.
She is serious as a heart attack about this yo. And she is bugging me everyday. I sometimes have to avoid the calls. I admire her, i really do but i just barely got out of school and am working. I need a breath before my travelling starts.
I am off to California this weekend to see her. Daniel and i are on the same flight out there and we will tour Cali and crash at Denise's place. Should be fun, never been before so i am excited.
I get back oin time for S's graduation and then i hop on another plane the next day and fly home. The trip will be horrific. I have fifteen hour layover in Bloody Amsterdam!! Okay, okay, so it's only ten, but still, that is painful. Plus i have a layover in Detroit for five hours. WTF?
I am so tired all of a sudden. But he'll be here in a minute. Hmmn.
