January 5

I just spent an entire day in Des Moines and feel very happy, for the most part. I spent the afternoon with Andrew and Kathryn and honestly if I told you what we did, it would sound boring but I had a blast. And then I went to Francies, a local bar/grill by my house, had a couple margaritas with work friends from Robins then went to our work meeting. Of course we talked about how it would just be a bitch-fest and we'd all get chewed out, but after that meeting I cannot tell you how much I want to just quit my job in Ames and go back to RWOG. UGH! I just want to help and make things better and show them how its done and be back with my friends and familairity! I was actually used as an example of how to do something right and its been so long since that was the case! In Ames all I get is lectures on how to push tables together and how to get the floor clean! Makes me want to start a small fire in the trash can of the bathroom and lock the door as I leave. LoL, that one is from Alice. But seriously, I miss Des Moines and thats the moral of this post. Ben is worth the move to Ames, I'm not contesting that. I am glad we live together and Ames is a decent little town. But I miss my city. I miss Janie, I miss Nicole, I miss Kelly, I miss my family and Kathryn and everything familiar. Sigh. Thats all I have to say
