Conversations

Home at 9pm on a Friday night. This is the life I lead. It could be for several reasons, one- I have a sinus infection, two- I worked 30 some odd hours this week and are just tired, three- I don't run with a late crowd anymore, four- I am in graduate school now and a little older (and wiser) or five- William is in Auburn. For what every reason, this is how it is these days and you know what, this doesn't bother me. I think in some ways I more content with my life and who I am now then I have ever been. I went to dinner with Adriene tonight. That was really nice. She is so awesome and our friendship has come to mean so much to me. I really value her guidance and advice. And those of you who have met her knows she rocks! Anyways, I personally can not believe February is almost over. I have something like 9 months and I will have my masters degree. And really be an adult... That's kinda scary. I mean on one hand I am really trying this whole living in the moment so I am not planning my life away but on the other hand when somethings are so uncertain you can't help but wonder about all the possibilities that await you. Oh well, its just another night. And did I mention I am sick? I have been thinking about this today and I really think Arizona would be a good move for me to make in January. I mean how can they have mold out there?! There is no dampness!!! Anyways, that's my little end of the week ramblings... I'm going to go wait for William to call, which I might add is the story of my life but that is another posting for another day ;-)...

Who's blog is this anyways?

Apparently in my blog from earlier this evening I forgot to address the championship race today- The Daytona 500! Maybe its b/c my driver lost :-P Or b/c Jeff Gordon won :-P :-P Anyways, I didn't get to see the whole race b/c I had to tutor some people. But I did make it home for the end of the race, which with 3 laps to go I was jumping up and down but alas Kasey Khane wrecked (big surprise, huh? the kid has no luck) and Gordon got around Jr. Oh well 3rd place isn't a bad start to the season. My mom went to visit my aunt in Orlando this past week and went to several of the speedweek events and if anyone is wondering tickets for the bad seats to today's race were $250. Listening to my mom and aunt talk about the Busch race from Saturday got me very excited about going to Talladega in May :-D California is next week, I'll be sure to remember it in my post next time...

Hey Ya'll

OK so by demand I am updating my blog :-) Let's see my last post was on last Tuesday, what's happened since then? Ummm, well I worked 39 hrs last week. And the stupid presentation I spent my off night Wed. working on wasn't presented Thursday night. So I was a little bitter about that but on the other hand I should have known since we are 3 weeks behind in that class. This weekend was nice (well as nice as one can be without William these days). Kind of relaxing. Friday I ran some errands after work and then came home and feel asleep early (I'm old what can I say?) Saturday was pretty busy. I ran errands all morning and then that afternoon I had the Pathfinder cleaned so I could personalize it with all my Auburn stuff :-D. I went and got the tag for it this past week as well. I won't even tell ya'll what the thing cost! And the gas pump wasn't kind either but I still love it!!! Today I went to Mass in the morning and then pretty much spent the rest of the day cleaning the apartment. Its amazing how dirty this place can get and how I can be too busy to notice between work, school and sleep. I don't know about the rest of you but I am love'n this weather! Its got me in the mood to swimsuit shop :-D I am also thinking about trips to the beach! Life in general is good. I am trying really hard not to get caught up in living day to day or just going through the motions. A yoga video I ordered came in yesterday so I am going to get in the morning and do that before work just to have some peaceful time to stretch and get my head together for the day. I hope I can stick with it. I'll keep you posted....

First Time

Well here I am blogging. I know several of my friends have these things and they really enjoy keeping up with people or venting on them. I always thought I might like to have one but didn't have a reason to start one. Well I was chatting with Charlie tonight and he informed me I didn't need a reason. Where would I be without him? OK, here is my props to my Charlie, he is great and Britt is a very lucky lady! I met him my freshman year at Auburn (back when I was oh so computer illiterate and my office was expecting magic from me!) so to a certain extent knowing him for so long and all I think in a way I have really kind of grew up with him. Not to mention he was a good luck charm with my Pathfinder. But my blog isn't about Charlie, its about me. So about me. Well I figure if you are reading this you've got the major details :-) As far as recent news goes. See I this is another reason I have never started one of these things b/c I don't know how far back to go. Let's see its February 15th... goodness, that's a crazy fact I might need to reflect on for a minute. It just seems like yesterday was Christmas or New Years (time flies when you're having fun)... Anyways, I am taking 3 classes at USA and at this point working 40hrs a week. That's what happens when you are the only graduate assistant in the office. My family is good. Mom is out of town this week, I was actually starting to miss her until she called today to tell me she was at the beach in beautiful 80 degree weather in FL while I was stuck in a windowless office :-P Oh I can tell you all about my new baby (besides William) my 2001 Pathfinder :-) Very exciting! I LOVE IT!!! Well not so much at the gas station but it really hasn't been that bad so far, really hasn't been that long either... Wow, who knew I could find this much to ramble about? Those who know probably are saying "I did" right about now. This is actually much better then the presentation I should be working on for Thursday night. Oh well... I am trying to think if there is any other news for this first blog... Well on a deeper more personal note, I just hope everyone realizes that people are in our lives for a certain reason and they cross our paths with purpose. You know so much has changed and yet something simple can happen or I can run into someone from way back when and remember that the more things change the more they stay the same. OK well I guess that's all for now.... Stay tuned :-)
