Hello blog world. Did you hear that Phish is breaking up? My boyfriend is pretty upset. He actually got me a ticket to the last show (I'm pretty excited even though I don't listen to Phish).
So, I still don't have a job, but I've been working out at Gold's Gym almost everyday.

That might not sound like a big deal...but it was considering that we hadn't had a meal together for ten years. My parents are finally getting along after all this time.
