Happy Birthday to me.

OK, I know I have been massively MIA and I am so sorry. I have been wrapped up inthis insane school schedule, coupled with life, three-wayed with not really having real internet access, and poof! Disappearing Neely! I will try to fill y'all in on some summation type basis:

Today I am 30. 30 years old. Trente anos. That shit is fucked up. I am doing ok and am feeling like mytransitions have all been coming along over the last year so maybe this is a bit anticlimatic. No more drinkin', no more crazy fatness, no more dead end job, no more pathless life. It's all still going forward. I am loving it. I was lucky enough to get the surprise of my whole family here for mybday - Buddy got my dad and Les here. It was the greatest gift ever to have both my parents and bothm y sisters here for this. I am really lucky. I had a great bbq, courtesy of mom, and a great time, courtesy of a ton pf people. I can't do a real link cuz somethin' ain't working but here's a link to pics: http://www1.snapfish.com/share/p=38921159830388027/l=212825114/g=11186012/otsc=SYE/otsi=SALB

I quit smoking today. It's ok so far. Wish me luck.

I am in my 5th week at Vidal and it is insane. The first 4 weeks were all Vidal haircutting. It was amazing. I had great teachers and I have already done 3 cuts on my mannequin heads. We are now in State Board prep class. It is dullsville. But it is everything we will need to know to get our licenses at the end of this. I am so glad now that I went to vidal instead of SMC. This is an amazing education that I really wouldn't be getting anywhere else. Thanks, Mom.

I made a friend at school named Lauren. :) I really like her alot. She is good peeps. We're soulmates cuz our pens died atthe same time. Just joking. Sorta. ;)

Things have been so great living in the same general area as Jason. We only get to see eachother ont he weekends but even that is such a better thing. He is really such a great guy - so funny and so smart and so honest. I ddon't wanna ruin his rep with his boys but it is really nice to have someone who is so open about how he feels. I am usually the one who gets all "typical guy", offering solutions when he just wants support, trying to fix everything, etc. I have some communication skills to work on. This is what a relationship builds from, though, and I really like what we're building. :)

I miss my sf friends so much. I even miss connie. Quite a bit, actually. I might need to try to get a weekend trip goin'. We'll see. Allison is settled in NJ and in school and we so don't get tot alk enough at all. I miss that girl with a fiery passion. Damn.

Weight loss is slow and I expect it to be even slower with me quitting smoking. I need to get onthe exercise train (how many times have you heard me swear to that??) but I need to find some time for it. I need to budget my time better, it hink. School is just so long and I have found I keep haing things to do nt he weeknights. Ack!!!

Well, that is me right now in a brief synopsis. Not funny, not lengthy, not much. But it is something.
