The Dilemma Continues...

I am still alive. My weekend was okay, nothing exciting, and I didn't cry anymore. Turns out all I needed was to watch four hours of TV including Gossip Girl, Brothers & Sisters, and the Housewives of New York. Oh, and sleep! I slept in, and I felt entirely better.

I think I am slowly emerging from the funk. I even took off Friday. Well, here's the real reason. Over the weekend, I figured I needed to deal with the whole catastrophe that is my life. Meaning, the Seattle trip. So I created an account on tripadvisor.com and posted about hostels. Yes, I've never stayed in one, but I figured, for $37/night plus the $2 fee to rent a lock, that can't be bad right? That is assuming I am going. After one text and a phone call message, I finally heard back from SA (self absorbed) and she said she would just pay me for my flight. Which is totally correct, she was the one that screwed me over, so she should pay up. Only, the catch is that she has to wait till Friday when she gets paid. Here's where the little voice in my head is saying what if she doesn't give you the money? Which makes me think that I should go. Yea, all by myself. L thinks that SA isn't stupid enough to waste an entire friendship over this...I hope she's right. My other friend thinks I should go either way, and if my friend pays up, great. If she doesn't, no biggie, since I've already gone. I would feel sorta bad if I got paid for a flight I took, but at the same time, this is the second time this person has flaked out on me...

Here's my running pro/con list...

Pros:

• I'll be spending time alone, which is what I've been wanting lately
• Gain the frequent flier miles
• Take a trip by myself, which I've never done before.
• I could stay in a hostel, which would also be a first or I could pony up a few more dollars and stay at the Moore Hotel.
  

Cons:

• I will be spending more money, because I won't have the luxury of splitting costs with anyone.
• I need to find a place to stay like STAT, cuz we all know I like having a plan.
  
• I might be lonely.
  
• If I don't go, and I don't get the money from SA, I'll be screwed.

What would you do?

Calling Seattle....

So you know that flight that was canceled? The one I was going to take to Seattle next weekend? The one that my friend swore was refundable? Yeah, not so much. I just got off the phone with United who said that my ticket is NON-REFUNDABLE and if I wanted to change my flight, there's a $150 fee. I only paid $112 for my entire flight. FML.

Now, here's my plea to the blogging world: Does anyone live in Seattle or know someone in Seattle?

I'm desperate.

I can't see wasting $112...am I crazy?

Bummer Friday

The weather pretty much reflects my mood right now...and it's cold and rainy. Super depressing for Colorado, that's for sure. Not a sign of sun out there anywhere. And I heard it's supposed to be like this all weekend.

Today was sad, because last night Bobby and I broke up. Yeah, apparently we just "weren't going to work out." Oooookay....I just hope the canceling of our relationship on Facebook isn't broadcast all over my friends' news feeds. I don't have much to say about it, I don't hate him, I'm just sad because I thought that it was going to work out. Sure I had my doubts, but I do firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. I know it, and I just need to believe in that and focus on myself. I've decided that when I move out, I'm going to live alone. I'm ready for it. Besides all this he said/she said business, my laid off coworkers left forever today. It was their last day, and well, it's just sad.

I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow and cry my eyes out and regroup. Hopefully I'll return Monday feeling like a new person. Maybe I'll even get a lil crazy and get a haircut...I know, my life is so so exciting.

What are your weekend plans?
