I'm not one to make resolutions. In fact, I'm not really one to get too hung up on New Year's in general... but, well, I suppose it doesn't really hurt anything. You see, 2010 for me, like many others, had it's ups and downs. It started with a great loss, then moved on to positive transition. News of new additions brought excitement, joy, and signs ( Read more... )

Someone asked me the other day who the most influential person in my life has been - and I answered without missing a beat, My Mother. Now, anyone who knows me even the slightest bit would find this baffling, seeing as I do not speak to my mother, and have not for about two years now, and before that it was strained. She simply just hasn't been ( Read more... )

It's really nearly impossible to go about this topic without sounding less than satisfied with my current situation. I assure one and all that this is not the case at all ( Read more... )

Couple of weeks ago, I turned 24. You know, it was a bit surreal. I mean, birthdays are a big deal to me - personally I think they should be considered a personal holiday, and why not? We could all use that, no matter the age. That was one thing I really liked about the cake decorating thing... what's a birthday without the cake? (Oddly enough, I ( Read more... )

It's been warm and sunny... and I've never been happier to see that. I've been enjoying walking around and exploring downtown on my lunch hours, and opening up the windows and letting in the fresh air. This last winter seemed so long and so cold, that I'm even more excited about spring than I would normally be. In fact, I'm even looking forward to ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I left Big Corporate Store as an associate for the last time. It was a bit surreal, really. I won't miss it any, I can assure you that... but at the same time, I left behind some amazing people. After being Officially Removed from the system, I walked about for a bit, saying my goodbyes. I had to run back to the bakery to retrieve my ( Read more... )

To say that this last week has been a whirl wind would be the understatement of the century. I now find myself poised on the edge of a fantastic new journey, one that I had only dreamed about but a week before. It's hard not to get to excited and disclose too many details, seeing as I want to stand on my roof and cheer!

For starters, I will be ( Read more... )

You know, I really don't have any issue with winter, except that it really drags itself out. This one has been a particular bugger... I think there has been at least patches of snow on the ground since Christmas. Today the sun was big and bright... being a total tease, since it really wasn't actually all that warm. Still nice to see something ( Read more... )

Actually, I've been sleeping better, thanks to a bit of help.

Anyways, I saw a doctor. Turns out I have fibromyalgia, super fun. It's alright tho, now we can work on making it better.

So, now I'm sleepy.. at least it's a start.

I have been knitting, among other things, but I haven't gotten around to taking any pictures, despite the beautiful sun ( Read more... )

Well, today is Wednesday, and that is the day I try to clean up the house. Since I was still feeling pretty crappy last week, I didn't get much done then, so it's way overdue. I'll get started here around 10 or 10:30.... I don't usually do much until after Rachel Ray. Really, it's not too bad, but it will be if I let it go much longer ( Read more... )
