Just chillin' here watching TV and waitin' for my baby to get back from the gym. It's peaceful... relaxing in my little place. Things are pretty much going the same as they have been. Work, home, work, home, out, home, work.... I had a fun weekend in Boston but I definitely like being home in the middle-a-nowhere. I grew up in the country and I've grown to love it here. I'll probably never live in the city. I don't know just rambling I guess....

GOBAMA!

I'm watching history unfold before my eyes tonight! I've never been into politics, and I really never paid attention until this year. It's probably because 4 years ago I was 18 and living at home and not all that concerned or interested in any of this. I can't say that anymore - and it's exciting! It really is! I voted today and it was satisfying to say the least. I feel like I am a part of something and not just to be a part of it... but because I really care. I am excited for this term, I am hopeful and looking forward to seeing some changes, although I know they won't be overnight.
SO many people went to the polls today! There are so many people gathered tonight and engaged in this election - so much energy! It really is an exciting time and I am really happy to be a part of it. GOBAMA!!!

love, love, love, love....

So lately I have been flat broke. Still! But I am still not complaining. My brain is picking on me... making me think of how I could be where other people are if only I had ____. Well, soon I will get there. So far I have gotten everything I want. If I put my mind to something I will get it. It may take longer than I want it to but who said it's supposed to go according to MY plan? Now off to get pizza with my love, love, love, love........

mine was so easy to uncover...

It's fall. Officially.

I took Michaella out for a photo shoot (before our trip to the grocery store) and we had alot of fun (until the bugs ate us alive) There's more pics on myspace. I made a whole album. Check them out and let me know what you think, that is, if anyone even reads this.

tuesday

This is a picture I took of Ebbie...Dee and I took him mini-golfing and bowling. It was fun.

Tonight I am having a sleepover with Michaella and Scott. We are going to have dinner together, watch the Jonas Brothers movie, play Littlest Pet Shop Monopoly, and just have fun :) I'm looking forward to it.

Oh, yea, I love when my landlord knocks on the door and I'm wearing nothing but a skimpy nighty. Niiiiice.

the shadow proves the sunshine

I'm really hurting for money right now. I mean, I have a home and a car, but it's to the point now that I don't have money for the "fun stuff", and barely enough for a two week supply of food and gas. This is really hard.

I do realize that my situation is very miniscule compared to the situation of someone with a life threatening disease or someone who has lost their home to a natural disaster, etc. so I find that no matter how bad this feels right now, I need to be thankful because someone out there is very worse off than I am. It almost makes me feel silly. I mean, I know the gas and food thing is a real concern, but I know that if I spent it only on that I would be fine. Really, I could be. It wouldn't be fun, I'd be at home all the time and never really see my friends, but still, I'm not going to starve, and I have a little money in the bank. So really, I have no right to complain. There is a child sitting in some hospital bed right now dying. And her parents have ridiculous bills paying for her treatments while they try to hold onto some hope of a miracle that isn't going to come. And here I sit, upset because I don't have enough money to go to the movies. Seriously, what kind of person would I be if I really let myself get bent out of shape about this? This is crazy.
And on top of everything I have the most wonderful friends, supportive, loving boyfriend, and faithful family a girl could ask for! Not too mention a dose of maturity some people will never see... not to brag or anything. I just realize that if this was a few years ago this blog would have a very different tone. And for that maturity that causes me to really see reality as it is, I am very thankful.

I feel so much better now. :)

my old boss and a red jacket

It's so funny when random things happen... like when your old boss calls you out of the blue. So random.

Today is so beautiful, I'm so happy I have today off from work. It's so nice out... so peaceful in my little apartment. And later I get to take Ebbie out mini-golfing and bowling. What could be better?

Last night I saw Jen get her "red jacket" for Mary Kay. She was so cute standing up there twiddling her fingers and scooting the toes of her shoes on the rug. She was so happy... and I was genuinely happy for her. It's not something I know much about (just what I've heard) and it's not my cup of tea (maybe someday) but I really was happy for her. This is something she decided to do so she could stay home with her beautiful babies and now she is really blossoming and it's nice to see. I'm glad I was a part of that moment with her.
