East Coastin'

I'm leaving Friday morning for Philadelphia to hang out with my long-standing friend. She hasn't exactly described Philly in a desirable light but I'm sure there are some great spots to check out. I'll visit the Liberty Bell and other historical spots, as well as the Italian neighborhood (south Philly I believe). I will come back much more knowledgeable of the city and what it has to offer. With 30 degree weather, I may be running back. Oh yea, I will head to NYC on Sat too. I welcome suggestions from anyone who has been to either city.

Valentine's day, blah blah blah

In the past, Valentine's day has not meant much to me, whether or not I was dating someone. This year seems to be different somehow. I can hardly wait for tomorrow to come and go and February 15th to arrive. Perhaps it's other people's reaction to the holiday that has had a negative effect on me. One single friend walked by my cubicle today and starts in with "ugh! tomorrow is Valentine's day, it's gonna suck!" If I wasn't happy about it before, now I'm downright depressed. It's so contagious. To add to it, I have to stare at countless websites like "What to get your guy for Valentines" or "Why I hate Valentine's day." But hey, I'm not one to feel sorry for myself for too long. I have to work late, which will actually be good for me. Afterwards, I will head to dinner with a friend and then accompany her to a group meeting she needs to attend. Hey, love takes lots of different forms.

Frustrated...

I don't want this blog to turn into a Carrie Bradshaw type column but I must say the whole dating world is driving me crazy. Putting yourself out there is hard and very tiring, to say the least. Either wondering if someone really likes you or "what the hell is wrong with this guy?" It just sucks. The idea of liking someone alot is scary too. There is a sort of peace with not have someone you're interested in and just floating through each day with the primary focus being you.
