She leaves the house.
I decided I had to get out of the house today. Sometimes on the weekend, I go into my home and I don’t go out until Mike picks me up for work on Monday. It’s quite lazy and not overly productive. I wish I had more energy sometimes, but I have to admit, it’s great to just relax and do my thing. Sometimes I think I’m still reacting to being with Brian. When he was around there was no time to just lay around in my pajamas and watch tv or knit or be on my computer. So even a year later I feel like I’m getting away with something when I do nothing but that. It feels rebellious, when really it is just sort of lazy and unproductive.
Mostly, I just had to get out of my apartment today because the cats are driving me crazy. They are just a mess sometimes and they wont’ leave me alone. I needed a break! Yep, it’s official. I’ve become the weird cat lady who needs a break from her beloved pets. Gah.
I just called Brian to tell him all about the cats. If anyone gets it, he does! We love our little ones.
Anyway, so I came to Panera today to just relax with a big glass of ice tea and play around on my computer. I’ve been doing some digital srapbooking, which was has been fun. The only problem is that I sort of feel like I’m doing work when I work on it. I guess I should feel so lucky that I get to do layout at my job and get paid for it. Just this week I got to layout a newsletter my organization publishes twice a year. I kept putting it off until I realized….what am I doing? This is what I love to do even if the content is boring.
I’m making a Barack Obama album on 12×12 prints to slide into the Picfolio Max. Fortunately for me they had great press kits with all of their logos in vector format. Perfect! I’m able to manipulate and use them to my delight! Here’s a peek at what I’ve made so far:
I also began working on Mike’s scarf that he requested. The red is bit bright, but I think it’s going to turn out nicely. It will be striped on the ends and just red in the middle. It reminds me of the Chicago Blackhawks, so I’m sure he’ll enjoy it.

When I do go home I’ve really got a lot things I need to do around the house. I have been seriously slacking during this crazy good week.

Happy Anniversary to Me!
Happy Anniversary to Me!
One year with me!
It’s been one year since I moved into my apartment and started my “single” life again. I can’t believe it was a year ago that Brian and I moved into our own homes. This year has had it’s happy times and sad times for sure, but over all I know now that it was definitely the right thing to do. Brian and I are still married and we still haven’t discussed divorce, but life is so much easier and nicer now. I love Brian and we are great friends, but he and I just aren’t meant to be together. So my goal for the new year is to get that divorce.
I never really pictured myself divorced in life, but if I had, I never thought it would be so civil and friendly. I am so lucky for that. There are truly no hard feelings.
Coincidentally, Brian came over last night to watch the debate with me. He was classic Brian. He made me laugh, made me roll my eyes, and made me tired. He gave the cats a ton of love, wrote nonsense on my dry erase board, and way over ate at dinner. He’s so predictable and comfortable.
I remember consciously thinking last year that all would be better and I would be happier a year from then. So here I am. I am happier. It’s all fine to me. I have my insecurities and fears about the future, but mostly I just feel free.

Never Let Me Go
Sometimes beginning the post is the hardest part. Ever notice that?
Well after the Ikea elation died down and we realized it won’t actually be here for years, I decided that I probably shouldn’t plan out my life according to Ikea and just chill out!
September 11 came and went. It was a cold and rainy day on campus. I was busy with a variety of work things. I ended up yelling at a program manager in front of 15 people. My soap box was mighty and I stood upon it proud. I basically said what everybody else was thinking. When did I become that person? Apparently my confidence is firmly in place, where before there was only a shadow of it.
Then yesterday when all of my work was done, I decided to say fuck it and just goof around on the Internet and make a new EJami montage. I did it from EJ’s point of view and I used a song by Bono. It was a bit of a sexy overload, since it has James and Bono. What a great combination.

Last night there was some EJami drama on the boards actually. TV Guide in Canada posted an episode title called “Nicole is Pregnant”. Nicole is the anti-Sami who EJ slept with in July when he had given up all hope on being with Sami. Well the title got pulled off almost immediately afterwards, but I could still see it. People on Windows couldn’t see it. Needless to say, a lot of my friends went nuts over this. There is all kinds of backstage drama on the show, and some rumors coming true right and left. Let’s just say that the head writer most likely hates Ali (the actress who plays Sami). It seems hard to believe because she is such a darling. There’s a lot to the story. All I know is that if Ali is no longer on Days, then I no longer watch it. I know that she is all about EJami and wants that for her character, and when a writer writes out of spite because of past transgressions that is not cool. It’s not about their egos, it’s about the audience. I think I need to re-watch “Soapdish”.
Okay, back to real life though. This morning I received some beautiful tulips (my favorite) from a special person to celebrate an anniversary of sorts. I love them!
Oh tulips, how I love you so.
I made some progress on my sock last night. It’s coming along slowly. After this post, I’ll probably get back to it.
It's coming along, sloooooowly.
The rest of the weekend is free and clear. I have a lot of laundry to do. I will probably work out two more times (loving the treadmill by the way), and I think I’m going to do some baking and watch some football!
Also, back to television for a second. I’m currently watching Fringe, which is okay. Thankfully it is not as scary as the advertisements made it look. And I love me some Joshua Jackson. One of my favorite shows, Psych, had it’s season finale last night. God I love that show. It couldn’t be more perfect. I can’t wait for it to come back in January. Shawn Spencer is the best.

About Me
Hi! I'm Rochelle. Welcome to my blog. This is a space that’s almost like a scrapbook, a little bit of a rant room, a gallery of creative work, and a dash of nonsense. My life is not terribly exciting but I have a lot of creative energy that’s got to be focused somewhere.
