Tomorrow morning I'm heading to VA to take my second degree black belt test! I'm ready, but anxious to get it over with. This week has been stressful enough as it is, and I'll be happy to move to the next level. My left wheel bearing on my car went to crap and I had to get it fixed today, the right side is on it's way. Damnitalltohell it sucks ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've written in this thing, so I thought it time for an update. Life is good....a bit stressful, but good. Right now all my time is spent getting ready for my 2nd degree test, but I feel ready and am not too worried. There's not really a specific stressor in my life, it's just everything and nothing at the same time. My ( Read more... )

I love my amazing VIII's from Wells....and the women I knew from Wells in general. Do you know what freakin' awesome lives we all lead? What a crazy adventure! I have my ups an downs, sure, but rides are no fun if they are predictable. Facebook rocks my socks and enables me to feel like I am back in VIII's rehearsal, laughing so hard that I ( Read more... )

I hear peepers outside my window...

That makes me incredibly happy. Does it make anyone else insanely happy?? Yaaaaaay!!! :-D:-D:-D

I love it, it is finally, FINALLY, spring!!!! :)

I know this might sound silly to some of you.....but I am proud to say I am eating my first meal in my own apartment. This is a big deal to me because I have never had this independence before in my life. It feels really, really great to have a place of my own to establish and call home. I'm home!! Even my apartment in MA with Tim wasn't truly ( Read more... )

I can't even describe how excited I am. I am currently writing this from my new apartment! For the first time ever, I am going to be living on my own!! How crazy is it that it took me 25 years to do it? Yes, I have lived away from my parents before. But in all of those places, I was never able to get my own furniture, pots and pans, or dishes ( Read more... )

Today I got promoted to Loan Servicer at CFCU :-D. This means I'll finally make enough to get a place of my own. Yay!! I'm so excited. I can't wait to start! I'm not sure when I do yet, I have to talk to my boss tomorrow and see what the plan is ( Read more... )

My martial arts instructor told the class tonight that we need to focus on the present, on what we're doing in order to succeed. He's right, and I have the worst time doing just that. I get so distracted sometimes during class because my mind just won't shut up. Like in the movie "Last Samurai": "Too many mind" :-p. My head is full of the "what ( Read more... )

I have been so moody these past few days, I wonder if I just wonder if it's because I've had large amounts of free time. Life is going really well right now, yet I find things to nitpick at until I am grumpy about stuff. I need that optimism that I am told I radiate towards others. I'm really good about being positive and cheerful until I have ( Read more... )

Wow, I've just finished going through the pics from my old computer. They included pics from High school through college, and some of my life in MA. It made me miss my Wells girls like you would NOT believe! Oh man, I was laughing so hard at those photos. Especially the pics from our one VIII's concert. I can't believe I had completely ( Read more... )
