Thought of the Day

What makes her and I different:

She cries out for love, not justice.

Random

My life is hilarious.

I work in a nice area in a middle-upper-class suburb. But today the men who work in the office right beside mine brought in a deer head to hang in their office. Honestly? They will be ushering all the new hires into an office with a DEER HEAD hanging on the wall. I can’t help but laugh.

I am lucky enough to work with my best friend, whose office is close to mine. We generally have too much fun at work and probably laugh just a bit too much. Lately, Courtney has gotten into the habit of threatening to shoot me with a rubber band. Which is terrifying. I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t actually do it, but every time I walk into her office, I am overcome by fear. She, of course, finds great delight in seeing me run out of her office shrieking. My goodness, we ARE still children…

Thanksgiving was this past week and it was a wonderful time. My twin sister and a few friends came into town. We had dinner at my older sister Lauren’s house. There were at least twenty people crowded into the house, which looked gorgeous. Lauren and Debbie had decorated every thing for Christmas (a little early, I know). There were nice tablecloths on each table, candles lit, pretty china and sweet little napkin rings. It was a really great time.

I don’t have much else to say. I know this blog was pretty random. Oh well.

Til we meet again.

Three More Days

Things have changed. But more than ever I recognize that they have stayed the same. I don't want to let go. But I realize that it's necessary. Or so I think it is. I'm really scared to let go completely. But I think that in the long run it will serve me well. I don't think I have learned my lesson yet. By letting go too soon, maybe I have forfeited that luxury. Or maybe I am still learning. This leaves me with a lingering anxiety. Perhaps by letting go I may be making the wrong choice? You said that I change my mind too much. I don't think it's the changing of my mind that is so bad. I think it's the thought-process that goes into those decisions in the first place. I don't think things through enough. Or I become entangled by the distraction of niceties.

Stress Level: High

Today. Today has me wanting to pull out my hair. To go back to bed. To be anywhere but here.

And what do you know? It's not over yet.

Oh, happy day!

Under Construction...

Well, sort of anyway... I just can't figure out a look that I like. So if you come on here and it looks hideous, it's probably not permanent. Forgive me for being indecisive.

<3

On this day:

Why do I make decisions like I do?
I seem to do it for my circle of influence.
Not for me.

I'm happy.
And I think I could be happy just about anywhere.
Doing just about anything.

But I'm not.
Because I am who they all want me to be.
I'm not me for me.

I sit down.
I don't want to have to stand up.
Make a choice that is my own.

I'm selfish.
I'm determined to have my way.
But I don't know how.

I want so much.
So much of everything.
To make me happy.

A few nights ago I did something that was completely for me. It felt so
good. I did it because I wanted to. I was determined I would accomplish it.
And I did.

I need to do things like that more often; get out of my comfort zone
and just go for it. I need to have goals that I can achieve with what I have
right now. Not goals that I'll accomplish when I get more money, am older,
etc. Goals that are for me here and now.

I sure do wish I had the power cord for that electric keyboard...

Bewitched

I've been dreaming of Bewitched tonight. I haven't seen any episodes in a while but I simply love the show. It makes me think of all the great times I had living with Deb.

I love the pairing of Dick York and Elizabeth Montgomery on the show. I think they are a darling couple.

I love this photo. Elizabeth looks so classy with her red lips!

Bewitched on DVD is definitely on my wish list right now. And that wish list is not just for Christmas. It's for anytime. Now would be great. :)

Raindrops Fallin' On My Head

Been raining all day. I love it, but I hate it.

Ps. Check out the Middle Fork site. The pictures are amazing.

Counting Upward

Today was a wonderfully breezy day. The leaves on the trees haven't changed much yet, but they have started falling. I love that the temperature is finally starting to drop. Today as I was doing things around the house, I opened all the windows. It was so beautiful outside!
I worked at the toy store today. I heard a silly conversation take place tonight between my co-worker, Carolyn and a little boy. I've seen the boy and his mother before. He has light brown curly hair and today he was wearing a pair of lime green sunglasses. As he and his mother were leaving, Carolyn said bye to them and the boy stopped to talk to her. She asked how old he was and he told her to guess. She said, "Three?" and he said, "No. Higher." Carolyn guessed five and he said, "Three the other way." She then said, "Four?" The boy finally gave in and said, "Three and three-quarters." Carolyn jokingly said, "Who's counting anyway, right?" The boy pointed at her and said, "You are!" It was precious. That boy always seems like such a cute little free-spirit. I love it.
After I got off work I drove to a coffee shop and got an Americano. I miss coffee shops so much. I rarely go, but love the atmosphere and the smell... everything. I browsed the shelves while I was waiting and found a brilliant invention. I bought it. It's basically a French Press in a take-with-you cup. Makes me happy!
