As boring as it may be, it's my life. You live life and learn as you go along. So hop into my life and enjoy the ride! (You don't want to forget to buckle up, sometimes it's one heck of a bumpy ride!)

The Way I See It #208 (Starbucks)

"I wish couples who desperately take every means to conceive a child would realize that adoption is a wonderful alternative. A child who becomes your child through adoption completes a family. Just as when you commit to your spouse or partner there are no biological ties, yet a family was formed. This child enters a family the same way! It is not blood and flesh that form a family, but the heart."
by Michele Johnson (Starbucks customer from Wamego, Kansas)

Find me a place to live!

How hard could this possibly be? I just want a nice place to live that's close to work ... is that too much to ask?? There's plenty to chose from, then sort through the one's that will take a 60ish pound dog (I'm telling people he's a mutt otherwise I'm doomed) and you have a handful left. Now let's go to price range ... right! It looks as if I will have to have a roommate, which I'd rather not do ... I wanted to do this on my own. It's so discouraging it makes me sick! I've spent hours looking at places, both in person and online ... yet nothing! I had planned on being in a new place by April ... now it looks like it's going to be May!

This separation thing is hard ... sorting through who gets what, packing, finding a place to live ... virtually starting over. That's what spring is for, right?? A fresh beginning?

Wirling

I SO can't believe everything that's going on ... it's almost like I'm in a dream which I'll eventually wake up and my life will be how it is supose to be. You know, the one we have all dreamed of ... the perfect one!

Instead I sit here with my life wirling out of control. I can almost watch everything around me fall apart with an evil sinister laugh in the background ... like I'm getting what I deserve. I know I'm not perfect ... who is? But did I actually do something so horible to deserve all of this? I keep telling myself things will get better ... yet, it seems they can actually get worse!

Virginia Tech Shootings

Enough is enough! That pretty much sums up my feelings on this situation, enough!! I try to isolate myself from the news for this reason, it's depressing to see how people are today ... how the world is today. It sickens me. Of course it's virtually impossible to isolate yourself from the news, it's all around ... and if you don't see it, you'll hear about it from someone.

What would possess someone to do such a thing, to kill so many innocent people? Is everything really that bad? I mean, I complain about how horrible my life is, but NEVER would something like this cross my mind. It's sad to think this person or persons life went by without anyone noticing they needed help.

My heart goes out to everyone this has effected. But seriously, enough is enough ... violence solves nothing!

Sick

All of winter comes and goes, and what happens when spring gets here? You guessed it, I get sick! Not that it feels like spring, it's been cold, rainy, heck it's even snowed ... but nonetheless it's spring! The flowers are all popping up wondering what the heck is going on!!! :)

About 4 days ago I started feeling icky, and Thursday night at work my voice started going ... by Friday I was coughing up a lung and feeling like death! I had my whole weekend planned ... I was going to pack and get this house/apartment hunting over with. But of course that didn't happen since I'm sick. I've just been lazy. So much for 5 days off!

I've been tagged, thanks Dawn!

So, here's how it works ...
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their seven things, as well as these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to choose 7 people to get tagged and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them that they have been tagged and to read your blog!

My 7 random things about me:
1. I have a freckle on my top lip, right in the middle.
2. I have matching freckles on the palms of my hands. If I put my hands together the freckles match up. (I know what you're thinking, enough about freckles!)
3. I'm scared to death that I will die alone.
4. I hate, and I do mean HATE bugs! Especially the icky creepy ones like spiders!
5. When I stay in a hotel, I make someone check the bed for snakes. Who knows why ... but it's something I've always done. (Maybe I do need "help".)
6. I've always had more male friends than female.
7. When I cook, I seem to make a HUGE mess and use a lot of various bowls, etc. (And I HATE cleaning it up!)

That was easier than I thought! :)

So here's my people ...
Casii, Tara, Beth, Mike, Christina .... I can't think of any more, sorry!

I finally treated myself ...

Tonight while doing some much needed shopping at Target (my fav store), I wondered down the scrapbook isle to see if they had anything on clearance that I MUST have. And there it was ... the EK Success circle cutting system I have been looking everywhere for without success! (no pun intended) I SO hated to spend the money, and I hesitated ... but in the cart it went! It's been a long time since I have gotten myself a treat, so I thought it was about time.
Now the bad part ...
I've had a layout in my head for WEEKS but haven't attempted it because I needed a circle cutter. So tonight I was determined. I went down into my scrap room with my new found toy ready to knock this page out. I looked through kit after kit, paper after paper, but nothing was hitting me. So you guessed it ... I got nothing done (but get a headache). I KNOW I have paper to do this layout, I refuse to go buy paper just to do a layout ... I can't! I have hoarded WAY too much and it needs used! So maybe tomorrow ... or later in the week I'll go back down and take another look at what I have.

But at least I have my circle cutter! :)
