Intervention Needed...

Yup, I think I need some help. I have a caffeine addiction, even worse, it’s a coffee/cappuccino addiction and it has to come from the coffee shop. Sometimes I visit the Starbucks a couple times a day, and this is quite an expensive habit. I considered giving up my daily dose of java and perhaps making tea or something at home and taking it along, and right away I made an excuse for why I needed that morning jolt and why it’s easier for me to do it at Caribou or Starbucks.

“Hello, my name is Wendy, and I am a pay-$4-for-a-cup-of-coffee-aholic!”

I have to say, I love whoever recently came up with this…


If you can’t see the picture, it’s a little toothpick like thing that you stick into the opening so there are no drips or spills during the commute. The roads here are awful, so I much appreciate this little invention!!

Depressed...

I haven’t done anything on this blog in so long, and here I am, my first post back and it’s me whining. I have been trying to find a job back home in Chicago, I think I have really had enough of Minnesota, anyway, I had something very promising…they had me convinced the job would be mine…then what? I got a call on Friday that they are basically on a hiring freeze right now. Couple that with the fact that my boyfriend flew home the day before to visit his parents and will be gone for 8 days while I am stuck here in rural Minnesota with no friends and nothing to do, and have to go to work each day to a neurotic, jerk of a boss. I am depressed, and this sucky, gloomy, rainy weather isn’t helping much. I will continue my search and hope to find something soon, I can’t wait to leave this state.
