My new FAVORITE thing!

Bath & Body Works Eucalyptus Spearmint...anything! I bought the Wallflowers and my apartment smells clean and like a spa. I want to get one for every single empty outlet in my the whole place!!!

Another day of shop till you drop w/ P-Dub. I've redone my whole bedroom, including setting up a craft station. P-Dub just moved into an apartment down the street so we've been "home" shopping for him, too. Shopping....way too much shopping.

I do need to start planning to go out and see Jess, Eric...and well, mostly Carly! Yes, Jess, I'm still planning on it...email me at work so I can work on getting the tickets!

I hit my 3 year anniversary at work. AND...as of this month, if you've worked there for 3 years, you get 3 weeks vacation instead of two. You used to have to wait 5 years! Woo Hoo! Thus, I took off all last week when I had originally planned only 3 days.

Three years. Wow. Go back a read a post from me three years ago! I bet I was crying and a mess...well, some things don't change...I'm still a mess, but in a much better way. I can't stop crafting or decorating or working really, really hard, etc., instead of drinking, sleeping and crying.

Three years ago I had the worst break up of my life, started a new job, ended a job I had had for 8 years...all in one week...and now I'm doing super well in that same job, I can't believe I ever cried one tear over that loser...I'm in an awesome, healthy relationship with someone amazing...my daughter is more of a handful, but I'm medicated and happy!!! :)

More on the crafting later...I should scan in a couple of the scrapbook pages I've done...and definitely will put up pictures of my new bedroom....after 20 years of having my room blue in some way or another...I have moved on to a very sophisticated "spa" look....white, green, black...with touches of chrome and glass....love, love, love it! I even painted my maple wood night table that I've had for 15 years...and needed a little help...yep, I really did...paint brush and all...all by myself...it is now glossy black...I'm doing the bookcase next...

I dreamed of being an artist when I was 15 years old...I was never really any good...and I know I probably wouldn't have made it very far in that world...but adding that back into my life has done wonders!!!! Seriously. Whether it's just painting my night stand or framing pieces of art I find that I like...or scrapbooking...or making Christmas ornaments...I have definitely needed this outlet.

Ok...I'm about to go find some green, black, or white pics right now to frame...will definitely post some pictures...and will definitely be making an effort to blog more too...after all this was my only outlet for a very, very, very long time.

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...
