  • Ponderings...

    I had this whole post typed out...lots of random, annoying things to say...and I just deleted it.  I don't really need to put them all down for everyone to see...more than anything, I think I just had to get them out so I could read them.  Funny how that's sometimes the best way to gain perspective on things, hey?

    It's been a while since I've posted anything...and there are many a reason for that...for now, a small re-cap of the latest:

    Work is good...got promoted a few weeks ago...I have a desk and I love it!!   It's a challenging position, and I'm finding myself learning more and more the deeper I sink my teeth into it.   Can hardly wait to see what's next!!!

    Life is going really well...learning lots about relationships and the give and take they require...sharing your life with someone does take some adjusting to...but it's oh so worth every bit of it.   We leave for Biloxi on the 15th of June...going to visit the family...and we are looking forward to the vacation!!

    Other than that, there really isn't much else to share...I've learned some valuable lessons these last few months...it's amazing how much growing you can do in a short time...never ceases to amaze me...and makes me extremely thankful for those that are teaching me along my path.  Sometimes I find myself looking in a mirror...and for a split second, I see a part of my mom staring back at me...and it makes me so happy to know that she would be so proud to see me where I'm at...I truly have been blessed.

    Well...that's about it for now I suppose...going to try and get some sleep...5am comes early!!

    Later Gators!

    Love ya!

  • So much to say...

    And yet here I sit, not knowing how I feel like saying it.  Somedays I wish I could just open a book and read all the thoughts running around my mind instead of having them bounce around like ping pong balls!  There's always so much going on in my brain...and today I'm having a hard time settling it down.  *sigh* Go figure!?!  Could have something to do with the fact that I've just had two days off work and I haven't done a lot...or it just could be that I need to just sit down and organize my thoughts...I'm leaning towards the later.

    It's not like I have anything to worry about...I have been more than blessed with an amazing life...and what will happen in my future will take care of itself...for once I'm more than willing to just be a part of life rather than try and plan every last moment of it.  My family is great...everyone is happy...there's really only one thing I would change given the chance...but it's not something I can control, so I have to let it go. 

    And yet...100mph and climbing.

    Kind of funny the way my mind works I suppose...I get so caught up in my own little world sometimes that I forget that there's another going on around me...you know...I bet that's just what's going on.  Taking a moment to remind myself that there is a whole other world going on around me...and that my little world is just a small part of it.  Rather humbling to remember that...this may be my world...but in reality, it's only a part of something much greater...I'M only a part of something much greater.  *sigh* How good it is!!

    I feel so...fulfilled...content...irrationably happy (LOL )

    Who knew?!?!

    Love you!

    Later Gators!

  • le *sigh*

    Sitting here, at home...listening to Nickel Creek. There's this...thought...running through my head.  It's kind of foggy (which I blame on the fact that I'm still running a fever) not terribly organized...and yet...it's there.  Taunting me...calling to me...begging me to come and get lost in it...and I find myself hesitant.  I've never been one to avoid getting lost in my thoughts...it's something I'm prone to I suppose...to sitting and thinking and sorting out all the wonderful (and sometimes down right insane) things that roll around my brain...but this one...I'm not ready to just give over to it...not yet. 

    It's funny...because it's not a thought that is just mine.  I suppose it's been raised by the similar thoughts of others, which could explain why I'm just not able to fully emerse myself - it doesn't feel like it's really MY thought.  And yet...oh and yet...there is this little part of me that with each passing day, grows bigger with anticipation of being allowed to dive in...head first.  At first, I didn't have much trouble in convincing it to just wait...be patient.  But it's getting harder to do.  Probably because I've never really been one to tell myself that before...repeatedly...and listened!! HAHAHA!

    *sigh* I don't know...sometimes I just want to let go...fall gracefully into whatever it is that is ahead...(ha...me...gracefull...that'll be the day!) but I know that I'm not ready to do that yet...someday...yes...but now...now I listen to myself...and just...wait.  Do not be anxious in anything...and to everything there is a season.  A time and a place...just not today.

    Today I just am...quietly...contentedly...peacefully...me.

    Later Gators!

    Love you!

  • It's raining...

    What else is new for Vancouver in November hey? LOL

    Today is Rememberance Day here...a day to reflect on the sacrifice of those who have fought for our freedom.  Having family and friends who have been part of the military, it kind of just hits you differently.  What if it was them who were out there?  What if it was my family waiting for news?  I couldn't imagine being in that situation sometimes...and yet, oh how close I came. *sigh* Makes you truly greatful for those who have gone before and those who are still going...

    So what else is new?  Lots and nothing all at the same time.  Work is good, friends are good...just taking it a day at a time really...which is all you really can do I suppose.  I'm really happy where I'm at...in all aspects...which actually has me not wanting to move around anymore (who knew that was even possible!?!?! ) I actually feel pretty settled...not sure when or how that came about...kinda snuck up and bit me I suppose...but, as with most everything, doesn't it always!?!

    Hung out with everyone last night...we played Quelf...man do I ever love that game!  Makes you do stupid things (serves you right Captain Poopy Pants!) but it's awesome none the less.  It's always nice spending time with the people you care about...even better when that time is spent laughing so hard your ribs hurt the next day!!

    I wish I had some more insightful things to say...but I fear the rain has managed to trickle into my brain and short out the wires! *snicker*  so I'm going to end this here...Mo and I are headed out shopping today...must find appropriate outfit for our big fancy dinner in Harrison on the 22.  We're all going to do dinner and dancing at the Copper Room...should be awesome!! Champagne anyone?

    Love you!

    Later Gators!

  • Quick Update

    I'm taking a little mental break from cleaning my house so I thought I'd post a little update about what's been going on...and it will be little...still have stuff to do tonight besides my house...and I have to work tomorrow...so in a time crunch!

    Life is really great!  Work is amazing, friends are great...I've got stupid perma-grin on my face because I couldn't ask for things to be any better! I think I've finally hit that place I've always been aiming for...Thank the Good Lord above for that!

    Well...That's really it for now.  Laundry and dishes (BLECH) are calling my name...and I left a candle on downstairs! YIKES!

    Happy Hallowe'en everyone!! 

    Later Gators!

    Love you!

About Me

  • I'm sometimes out-there, sometimes in-the-box, but most of the time I live life to it's fullest. I'm a classical singer (little known fact - studied for 7 years) who has a weakness for country/rock/oldies/jazz/showtunes...well, I have a weakness for music in general. I ADORE sports...Football (Go Packers and Seahawks), NASCAR (yes it is a sport...I'll debate that with anyone who wants to try me), baseball (Go Mariners!), Swimming, and am learning more about Hockey...it's not bad at all!! Redneck by trade and choice!! So yah, that's about it!
