Happy Heart Day

Hello all!

Happy Heart Day...even though I don't really celebrate it. That's ok, I see it's appeal.

Everything is going well here in Durango. I'm getting ready to leave in a week and a half. I cannot believe it's so soon! I'm waiting til Sunday (tomorrow) or Monday to start packing because Andy will be out of town and that makes it a hell of a lot easier to think about leaving. It's amazing how you can care for someone soooo much and yet know that you're better off apart. He's going on a skiing "hut trip" Monday, tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, so I think I will have plenty of time to pack my bags and clean my car. AND! Since I got my tax return I can take care of my car before I leave and do everything I need to do. It's such a relief to have a little extra cash.

I did yoga with Tanya again this week...she's crazy, but it feels amazing. I wish I could have gone to her classes before (I usually had to work), but maybe I can find a similar class in NY. It's only $5 a class!!! Since I'm working this morning, I couldn't do the Valentine's Day 5K, but I think I'm going to run the course when I get off of work. I feel like I've done very little in the last week, but I've been busy and sick, so I guess that's ok.

I can't wait to see my New Yorkers (and Floridians) soon, and I'm going to miss all the Colorado peeps. :)

Have a great Valentine's Day and don't forget to love with all your heart on every other day of the year as well!

Long time no blog...

It was just brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog!!! Dear lord, I must not let that happen. There is a lot to update...

I am moving on Feb 24th...back to NY. Bet you never thought you'd read that. Well...I applied to Teach for America and will hopefully get in and be doing that by the beginning of May, so it's very temporary and basically I am just trying to get all of my stuff in one place before they place me. I requested San Fransisco, but I think they put people wherever there is the most need and honestly, I don't care where I go.

My job...
I had actually quit my job before I left for Christmas because the owners are sadistic assholes and bounced my paycheck twice (three times now). However, while I was home for Christmas, they sold the cafe and I was relieved and decided to pick up whatever hours I could since the economy is not one in which you want to be jobless. *****sigh***** Unfortunately, the new owner isn't much better than the old. She's not as mean or assholish....but she bounced my first paycheck and got the next paycheck out late...my rent was almost not paid on time because of it. It's very stressful to live day to day and not know if you're working for a paycheck or not. So, I applied for unemployment and am working on an 'on-call' basis. I'm picking up some babysitting gigs to pay for stuff and hopefully my taxes will be in soon so that I will be able to travel across country and have money for food!!

Andy and I have decided to call it quits. Of course, I'm sad...I love him. It is a good decision though, we have been fighting ALL THE TIME lately, and I think we need some space.

So, my dad is flying to Durango on the 23rd and he will be driving with me back to ny!

As far as running goes, I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I was sick and stressed and neglected my running as well as my blog. Last week I did a pretty intense abs workout and a crazy hard yoga class on top of running, so I'm feeling good about the workouts. I am going to workout at the rec center today for a little bit and then go see "He's Just Not That Into You" with Kristi. I hope it's good! Anywho...I will try to write more and I will still be loving Durango even when I move away...

Happy February!
Love
Kellie
