Planting A Garden

I went with my grandma to Lowe's today. We got some mulch, strawberry plants, a few vegetables, a ton of seed packets, and tomorrow we're going to build a garden box on the side of the house and start planting all kinds of tasty veggies in it. I'm really excited. It's going to be a fun project, and it will save us a lot of money!

I have been dealing with the WORST allergies lately. It has to be all the blooms. I can't wait 'til it goes away.

My face is seriously puffy because of it. It looks like I've been crying, and I haven't. Its actually kind of putting me in a bad mood. I wish I was somewhere other than my room in my PJ's tonight. Oh well...

Michael's been out for almost a year. I can't believe it.

I Will Now Rise From the Ashes

It is easier to say you will endure something than it is to actually do it.

I applied for a job in Alaska this summer along with two of my best friends. All three of us got the job, but I was positioned in a store over 400 miles away from my other two friends. I am not going to take the job. The only reason I wanted to go was because I wanted to get away from life and be with my friends for a few months.

I said, "If I don't get it, it won't bother me. I don't even know if I really want to go."
and then...
I said, "Hmm... I actually kind of want to go, but I'm still torn on whether I should."
to:
I said,"Okay I really want to go, but what if I'm not in the same city?!"

Then the news comes, and I'm totally bummed out. I kind of feel like I don't have the right to be. I just feel like I never go for what I really want. This would have been a really good thing for me, to get away with my friends and live in a place I've never been. Don't get me wrong, I am SO happy for my two best friends to go up there. I know they're going to have a blast, I just wish I was going to have a blast with them.

I can't shake this feeling that I want something extraordinary to happen in my life. I'm restless. I want to be spontaneous, live life on a whim for a while. Go do something outrageous, instead of being here. I feel like a bird in a cage. I've got the wings, but I don't know how to get out and fly...

Why is life always so bittersweet?

My Little Parakeet

I don't know if it's a girl or a boy yet, but its cute. :-) 

Life Is CRAZY!

SOooooo much has been going on lately, its like life did a complete 180 on me. Life is the hare, and I am the turtle trying to focus on the blur rushing past. I've already been in school for two weeks. I have started teaching piano lessons for a job. Holy CRAP Michael has almost been out a whole YEAR. I seriously can't believe that. I'm so happy its going by so fast. I miss him like CRAZY! Anyway, so I'm ridiculously busy. I've been hanging out with Laura and Trisha and the other Laura a lot lol. That's always fun. My room and the entire house have been staying clean, I've been practicing piano ahead of time for primary much more, my homework is getting done. I am kind of loving life, except for the whole 'I'm terribly poor' aspect. I've reached a whole new level of poverty lol, which I am slowly pulling myself out of. At least my only debt is student loans though. :-) That's good. 

Sooo that's the news as of late! I need to write in this more often... Does anyone read this anyway?

Sittin' In My Bed With My New PJ's

By Nick and Norah 

(thank you Laura)

BAhaha! I rhymed! 

Well... obviously you can tell I'm a little loopy tonight... I started getting sick today, but I'm kickin' it hardcore with herbs and water and sleep! I'm hoping that by tomorrow I notice a difference. For those of you who don't know, I recently quit my job at the health foods store. I'm starting up school on the 21st, and I'm on a quest to enjoy my life even when it isn't easy.
