"You Better Slow Your Roll" . . .

...this is a very creative saying that some of my friends at work use quite often...There have been many times when I have been told that I need to "slow my roll"...One friend, Charlotte, once even told me that I needed to "stop my roll"...I'm still not real sure what exactly, specifically it should mean, but I think I'm catching on. I tend to be a big "rusher"...I want everything in my life to be instant gratification. " I want it NOW!" seems to be my motto...so much so I guess, that Josh sometimes calls me Veruca Salt (you know...Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...the girl with the golden goose?). I think I'm learning though. I'm in a situation where things are moving along at a pretty slow, even-keeled pace, and there's not much I can do about it anyways...so, I'm just enjoying it, going along for the ride, "slowing my roll". And I like it...I like it a lot! It's much more simple, and there seems to be something more to look forward to. I don't think it will be possible to completely "stop my roll", and never say "I want it NOW!" again, but for the moment, and maybe in other moments in my life I can just "Sit back, and RELAX!". (HA, I didn't mean to do that, but there's actually a really funny story about that last line - involving Jess, Colorado, a broken down Probe, and Pike's Peak - it just came out).

All Iced In

In case anyone has been watching the weather for the whole country...you will know that here in sunny San Antonio, we have been having some very out of the ordinary weather. We got iced in for the last two days. Not snowed in...It's all ice. Snow to the north, but all we got was freezing rain. I was cracking ice off my car with a wooden flip-flop keychain, seeing as how I don't own an ice chipper or whatever you call them, because this isn't usually a problem. Gabby got to have two ice days from school. I have spent the last almost 72 hours in my house, and I'm literally going crazy!!! I just had to get over to my mom's today so I could do something different for a change. The roads are much safter, but watch out for the ice flying off of cars! I'm not exaggerating at all when I say that a chunk of ice the size of a passenger side car window came hurling at me! It was kind of scary. Or the ice falling from the power lines...that's kind of scary, too. But, th...

Pretty Decent Weekend

I went out Friday night, and....I met someone. We really, really hit it off. I think some of you who know me really well would be shocked at how good looking he is. His name is Paul, he's 29, and he's only been in San Antonio for about a week. Anyway, we talked all night, I drank a little too much, and so did he, so the night didn't actually end that well because there was an argument between him and Andrea. I thought he was a little rude, and also maybe he would be scared off. But we were texting last night, and we're going to meet up next Friday. I really do think he should apologize to Andrea first though. Although, I'm so green with this dating thing...I almost think that's too much to ask when you're getting to know someone. I don't know, you tell me. Saturday I pretty much did nothing but recover. And then Sunday, Andrea, Gabby, and I went hiking. We did a Level 4 out of 5 trail for an hour and a half. I'm not sure how many miles it...

Last one for tonight, I PROMISE!!!

It's official...I've finally decided what it is...I think the background for my posts is too dark. I don't like the way pictures show up on it...I love the whole ocean/beach theme thing because it really fits me, but I think I need something sunny, brighter...I love the picture with the mermaid because it's all bright and stuff, and so is the sidebar, but the dark, navy-ish blue just isn't doing it for me. I don't like the way my posts "look"...I think it reminds me too much of my teenage angst years, when at 14 or 15 I turned everything in my room into navy blue, and put up the darkest navy blue curtains...close enough to being black, it looked like I lived in a tomb, and I couldn't stand it after awhile...It actually contributed to my depression. That's why now, I don't even have curtains...I would much rather have the morning sun come blaring through my windows...That's what I need here...I've figured it out...
