Things and places I miss in Ohio

A random compilation:

• Being able to walk everywhere in Athens
• Friends, particularly seeing them and talking to them on a much more frequent basis.
• Salaam
• Joseph-Beth
• Sadie and the animals
• Having two license plates (Seriously, Michigan doesn't give you two license plates... how off is that?)
• MY Borders (Yes, it's mine, and yes, I miss it... even if I do work there now).
• The brick roads
• Alden
• Film Fest
• Graeter's
• Marching 110
• The old Front Room, where getting free tea was one of the highlight of spring '06.
• Going to the movies in Kentucky (OK, so not in Ohio -- even so).
• Cross Court and Mountain Laurel
• The Athena and the sticky floors
• GAS PRICES -- they are ridiculous here
• Knowing my way around and actually understanding the politics
• I WILL miss the weather. I already know this because the winters here already terrify me.
• Athens in general; it's so beautiful there, even if it is in the middle of nowhere. I miss the space and am sick of the suburbia that is AA already.
• The Diner
• Skyline. Desperately miss Skyline. Must remember to bring cans back with me when I go back to Cincy again. Yes.
• Newport and the Hoffbrau Haus
• Star and the barn
• The river
• The mound... going there on sunny days was one of my favorite things.


....To be continued.

Conflicted and mostly biased

So, that sums up how I'm feeling right now, but I will update you on what's going on on the surface, at any rate.

I have one more week left working in the stores before heading back to the home office. I have met some awesome people and have really ended up enjoying it much more than I expected to. It has been great experience and I still love basically everything about the company, despite it's many problems. Do I sound lovesick or what? :-P

And Steven and I got a puppy. His name is Chewbacca and he is awesome. He is currently learning how to walk on a leash and is doing pretty well for a ten-week old baby.Enough said. Anyway, my computer is freezing horribly for reasons I don't understand, so I am going to cut this one short. A photo for you, of the new baby:



Until then.

So I might be ADD, but what else is new?

And that's OK. I... have LOTS to update on, but I would rather do so with photos than a quick post at the end of a very long day. I started doing in-store training this week, and will do so until August 26th. It is taking any energy reserves I may have had to learn all of that new stuff... Sometimes in a good way, though. Sorry my last post was so depressing. It's the truth; it's hard being in a new state without any familiars. So yeah. But I've said and so on; enough is enough. This past weekend was great and I really do need to write all about it. And then write about this week. With any luck, I will do it before next week. (*Wink*).

More later.

Until then, Always.
