Let lying dogs lie...?

Jake's argument for not joining Facebook is, the people in his past need to stay in his past. This is one of the few things that a part of me just cannot agree with. I believe that certain friends come in and out of your life for a reason. Some are there for a short while, other are their for a long time... but to me they are there. There when I needed someone, something. They were an ear to hear my stories, or a voice to guide me, and a shoulder to cry on. I am so excited when I get a request from someone in the past and find out that they are thriving and growing up to be an amazing person. It is almost like the signing off of that specific part of my life.

If I was able, I wish I could go back in time and capture the special moments in life and keep them next to me when I need a lift. Instead for now I carry my memories in my heart and mind. I smile randomly through out the day when I think of the moments I have shared with others.

Thanks for being apart of me and of my life.

ADD Moment...

Uggghhhh... I think I need medication to stay focused at work. This week all of a sudden became very overwhelming! I am in the middle of typing a 10 page sermon for one of the Reverends, I have 3 bulletins due this week, 2 of which I just found out I was doing and they are due by tomorrow afternoon, a 10 page Lent Devotional book, and session tomorrow night! Everyone always wonders WHY CAN'T I get anything done with the website... maybe it is because I can't plan my time with out something new coming up. 1500 bosses for one person can be overwhelming. Specially with no support from the head pastor. ugggghhh... Oh well enough whining, time to get back to work!

Recap of my Bday weekend

Phew, another year has passed. The picture to the left was the last picture of the night and is a great depiction of the male caveman tendencies. Grab your woman, throw her over your shoulder, flick off the otha brotha's and head out the door!

I had such a fabulous time on Friday. I am even proud to say that the next morning the hang over was very minimal! Which was better then I can say for the young girl I was working with.

today, I was able to have some well deserved down-time. I opened the windows, the doors, and grabbed a book (self-help of course!) and ran out to the pool. Lately I have been reading a book on issues of abandonment. The book Love Me, Never Leave Me, by Marylin Meberg is very good. She is a funny lady who writes like I can assume she talks. Actually I have seen her talk at a Women of Faith conference in Tampa. She is full of spice and life. My mom bought me the book as a Christmas gift and I am now MAKING TIME in my schedule of two jobs and full load of school, to enjoy the little moments with a good book and some vitamin d.

Time actually brings me to my next thought of... with the time I have been given here on earth, have I met my goals? Where do I stand? I have always given my self short and long term goals. I have noticed the times in my life when everything was sooo a-rye, was when I had no goals for myself. I am always looking at my life as a whole and seeing if I am doing what I wanted to be doing... I think that part of this is good; challenging myself and then having periodic check points to make sure I am still on track. Other times however, I find myself trying to control situations that I know I should not control and should just let happen. I am on a constant journey, trying to figure out how to sometime kick back and let things play out and when I should move along.

I guess as I am reading this above section I know I am not ready to come to terms with what is floating around in my brain. I think that is why I read the books I do. Maybe it is a good sign that I should start back at church?! I think I need to get over my fears of going alone and just do it.

Enjoy some of my favorite pictures from my twenty-fourth birthday!

My Pine-Apple Upside Down Cake...Shot

I wish I knew what they were laughing about, but they look like little kids, so, happy!



You can tell I will one day be an educator, even drunk, I am doing mathematics!

Kevin and I on the spot look... love how we have the same look (this was not staged!)

Oh the Irony in My Life...

So.... not that I don't have enough craziness in my life, I have decided to get a second job. That addition will make my weekly schedule have a full time job at the church, a part time job at a bar, and a full time student! I think it is pretty funny that I am working at a church and a bar!

I am not on the streets-poor, by any means, but I like having nice things and love visiting new places. With out extra income I see the future as very boring. I had applied to Lansdowne Bar back in August of 08, when I was starting to think about quiting my job this august to pursue school full time. I did not get a call until this week on Monday, by Bill. I started work on Tuesday and Love IT! I did however, forget that sore feeling you get in your legs after waitressing all night... but I am sure it will go away after a few shifts.

I have decided not to write the book at this time in my life... I have enough on my plate, with school, work, gym, food, learning to sew, and scrap booking.

I do have one question... How do I search for specific blogs on here?
