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

Happy Freakin' New Year

Written January 1, 2021, when I tried to start a Wordpress blog , but failed because I'm old and it's too complicated. 2020 and I had a love/hate relationship. I hated seeing what was happening to others and the world. I dealt with my fair share of struggles, but mostly, I think I was the closest to contentment that I've ever been. 1. I LOVED working from home MOMO working from home 2. I felt closer to my family 3. I didn't mind the slower pace and less to do 4. I was able to have a better work/life balance 5. I felt more productive at home and at work 6. I did a couple of home projects - helped my parents landscape my front yard, gave my bedroom a makeover with my sister, and reorganized my pantry with her Before After Pantry Makeover Bedroom Makeover 7. I spent the best summer with my son and dogs at my sister'shouse - laughing, crying, painting rocks, getting to know my fur nieces and nephews (Wall-E, Maggie, Leeloo, and funny, little, Peyton who we lost in...

FYI

Just so you know...my computer is sitting here, on the floor, next to me...at my parent's house!!! Woo Hoo! I've taken the first step in getting it fixed...but alas, there it sits...I'm not the only slacker in the family! Also, I turn 30 in less than 20 days...

End of Summer

Who knew that at 28 years of age I would be writing a post about how I spent my summer. Don't people usually stop talking about their summers after a certain age? Say like, 22? It probably wouldn't be such a big deal to me if I wasn't still a student who doesn't haven't to have a "career" year round. Well, here it is . . . the end of summer. I go back to work on Monday, and school starts on Wednesday. My days of sleeping in, going out, etc are over. I still get every weekend off when Gabby goes to her dad's, but we'll still be a lot more "scheduled" around here. End of summers when I was younger always felt weird because you were sad about the summer being over, but a little excited about going back to school, shopping for school supplies and clothes, thinking about if there'd be a new cute guy in class, getting to see your friends everyday. I have a whole section in my memory that is filed under "Summer". It's my favori...
