It is the woman who chooses the man who will choose her

So what do you do when you're dating the brother of a man who broke up with one of your best friends? Of course it's because of their relationship that I even met this guy but it's definitely weird having such polar opposite feelings toward two people in the same family. To be completely honest, I don't even know what I'm supposed to do if I end up in a more serious relationship. I want to be loyal to my friend but I don't want to make things awkward for the guy I'm dating or the rest of his family, for that matter. This is probably not even something I should be worrying about since it technically has nothing to do with me but I have always been extremely loyal to my friends and I have a hard time pushing that aside.

We believe that electricity exists, because the electric company keeps sending us bills for it

Quote by Dave Barry.

I'm beginning to doubt the existence of electricity since I haven't had any in my house for FIVE days. The worst part is that I'm actually adjusting to it! And I'm getting big muscles from lifting and lowering the garage door every time I want to park in the garage. Overall, it hasn't been that bad since I'm not home much. However, this morning I checked the basement this morning because I have a sump pump (a device that keeps ground water away from the footings of the house) and it runs on electricity. Sure enough, I discovered that the basement flooded! Fortunately it wasn't very much water but now is not the time for more things to go wrong. At this point DTE estimates that the power should be back by midnight tonight. We'll see! Luckily I'm working a ton and have classes and therefore don't have to sit in a dark house by myself all day long.

A distracted existence leads us to no goal

So, it has been brought to my attention that I haven't posted in a while... It's "only" been 15 days! Oops! Needless to say, I've been distracted. Partly due to working lots more than normal but partly due to going out to bars and meeting people and having fun! I guess I'm enjoying the freedom of being a young single woman! And on that note, when it rains it pours! I got a text yesterday from I guy I knew from high school and have kept in intermittent contact with over the past few years. He "confessed" that he had a huge crush on me in high school (in hindsight, this was obvious). He lives in Atlanta now and said that I could come down and visit whenever I want, and all I would have to pay for is my plane ticket. I just have one question... What do I have to do deserve such generosity? It definitely seems like a strings attached situation to me!

Like I mentioned, I've been working my butt off. Full time plus school is a bit of a challenge but when I go back to my normal schedule and classes end I'll probably feel like I'm drowning in boredom. I got semi-offered an internship one or two days a week for the remainder of the summer so hopefully I'll get that and bring in some extra money to hold me over when I can't work as much when school starts up in the fall.
