I think it's funny that I usually feel like writing when I'm feeling lost and confused.  Like this is somehow going to magically make a big answer appear to me ... how silly.  I'm a happy person, and very blessed too.  I have a wonderful family and a great group of friends that are all over the place.  I have a good job and a new car, little ( Read more... )

Last night Kristen and I had our lovely little party.  It was a late lunch/early dinner pitch in drink some martinis kind of deal.  We had a lot of food luckily (I was afraid we wouldn't), and we got to spend some quality time with friends.  It is always nice to just hang out and talk with my friends.  Sounds so simple, but it's difficult to get ( Read more... )

I'm working a lot.  That means overtime kids.

It's almost Christmas...seriously?

Thanksgiving's a blur.

I am ready  for my little Christmas break.

I need to do some Christmas shopping for reals.

I'm eating some warm chocolate pudding, compliments of Chef Dad.

"Gossip Girl" is so dramatic...and I love it.

They're making a movie out of a book I read 2 1/2 ( Read more... )

Well, I'm officially an adult.  I have a big person job with business hours and even a sweet ID security badge. I have access to places you've never dreamed of.  Literally, unless you dream of offices, haha.  Really though, LIFE IS GOOD.  I wish I had a picture of one of those shirts they sell at the Life is Good store in Nashville.  It would be ( Read more... )

Life's kinda crazy right now.  I had two interviews in the past week, which both went pretty well in my opinion.  I already had a positive call back from the first, and we're working on things right now.  The second was just this past Thursday, so I have to wait until about next Friday to hear anything.  I really like the second one the best, but ( Read more... )

I recently took a trip to Ulta, a new makeup store in Metropolis.  I had a gift card to use, and oh did I use it.  I didn't realize the sheer awesomeness that exists inside their four walls.  I'm pretty sure I could live in there for a few days, run across to Panera to refuel, then return yet again.

I decided on a tinted moisturizer - I finally ( Read more... )

It's funny to me to go shopping and see all of the back-to-school supplies and sales.  I'm not going back to school...ever.  Wow, dude, that's nuts.  I mean I'm pretty relieved to tell you the truth.  College rocked my socks off, but the school part always kind of sucked.  I'm not one for classrooms anyway...learning, totally; education, hell yeah ( Read more... )

Kyla and I went to lunch yesterday.  Fun times at Chic-fil-a, let me tell you.  We stayed so long we got free milkshakes.
Anyway, she told me about this list she made of the 50 things that make her happy in life, and encouraged me to make one too. 
So, here you go.  I think you should do this too, not for me or for your readers, but for yourself.  ( Read more... )

I'm 22 today, woo hoo!  The year of the double deuce is finally upon me.

Hmm...updates:

I drove out to Seattle with Dave for a week.  That's his new town and let me tell you, it's pretty awesome.  We went camping for a couple of nights along the way, went to Rocky Mountain National Park, Medicine Bow National Forest, and so much in between.  ( Read more... )

I really don't like to be alone.  Sometimes, yeah.  We all need that peace and quiet every now and then to just process the day's events.  I get bored.  When I get bored, I am not productive.  When I am not productive, I feel like I'm wasting my time away.  So, I apply for jobs.  Well, the businesses (so far) haven't felt that I am right for their ( Read more... )
