Something old, something new . . .

I've noticed lately that I have some new favorites in my life. There are some things that I have learned to appreciate more and things that I don't think I could do without, and things that I seriously couldn't stand in the past, and have come to love. Things that I pay more attention to. Things that have all of a sudden struck a chord with me. Things that I just figured out make me very very very happy.

1. Cinnamon Danish bagels (even though this morning it had a strange single raisin in it. Hmmm...)

2. Coffee (especially Southern Pecan, GOD! I can't wait till Thursdays!)

3. The color blue.

4. Paint Shop Pro

5. Martinis (The dirtier, the better)

6. $1.95 margaritas at happy hour

7. The smell of lavender (Why did I hate this smell before???? I LOOOOOVE the smell of lavender)

8. Black Flip-Flops (I love you, my black flip-flops!)

9. American Eagle

10. Josh (Ok, rarely, but I'm learning to appreciate him more! . . . learning . . . )

11. Special Features on DVD's

12. Watching movies that really suck, but watching them with a friend somehow makes you laugh anyway. (Ahem, Napoleon Dynamite . . . ok, I could see how this movie could be hilarious, but it might need some mind altering material)

13. A sister that you get to know all over again as adults!

14. The smoothness of Gabby's cheeks, now that I can't play with her soft little earlobes ever since the ear piercing incident.

15. Finding out that it's ok for humans to be sexual creatures, and there's nothing wrong with it.

16. People that can awaken feelings you never knew you had.

17. Water!!!

18. The stairmaster at 7 in the morning

19. Actually listening, really listening to music, and maybe taking out the liner notes, and actually reading them.

20. Best friend's that have known you since you had a shaved head and wore Doc Martens everyday, but now you get to discover what growing up really means together . . . even if far apart.

21. Watching TV in bed

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...
