Friday Mind Dump

* The weather has been yucky the last few days. That wouldn't be so bad if I didn't drive a convertible that currently has no top on it. I've taken to driving around wearing a bright yellow rain slicker! I've gotten some looks but it keeps me dry!

* Very suddenly I am missing Atlanta. A bunch. Could it have something to do with a text convo I had with a friend recently? Why, yes, I think so. Don't you know how easily I am swayed by now? Hmmph. Besides, my love for Atlanta has always been the deepest at spring time. Life in Atlanta in Spring is perfection.

* The bugs have found me again. I have countless no-see-um bites. Boo. But I have rediscovered Skin So Soft, which Granny used to douse on us as children. It keeps the bugs away, but it smells funny! Brings back good memories though.

* I spent $67 at the grocery store yesterday. Here's what I left with: a mini watermelon, a pound of carrots, one squash, one pound of grapes, a bag of pretzels, a pound of chicken, a pound of ground beef, a bag of black beans and rice, a peach cobbler and a bag of ice. How far can $67 get you?

* I'm going through tv withdrawals!!!! The VI went digital so our tv is out until we get cable. And with everything I've heard about the local cable company's customer service, it will be some time before that happens.

* I'm very much looking forward to my next counseling session. It's not for another two weeks, so I'm trying to be patient!

* I'm finally reading Eat, Pray, Love and I can't put it down!! I don't know why it took me so long to start it, but now that I have I am in love with the story and her writing style. I'm even more in love with the book than I am with the movie!

* I've been obsessed with the mini series "Rome" lately. It is extremely graphic and violent, but also very interesting and kind of sexy!

* My intense need to have a dog has passed. Was it a phase or a genuine wish? I'm not sure. We'll see!

* I have put every good vibe I can think of out into the Universe to help me get this job I want so badly! Maybe if you send good vibes too it'll happen for me?! :)


I hope everyone has something wonderful planned for this weekend. I'll be working away! Happy Friday!!!!

In Honor Of...

Happy Barbershop Quartet Day! Here's a clip of one of my all-time favorite actress/singer in honor of today:

Happy Sunday!

I'm determined to be a happy girl! Before I got out of bed this morning I thought of all the things in life that I'm happy and grateful for. I'm still feeling blue, but I'm resolving to keep thinking positively. Isn't that what the saying "Fake it, til you make it!" means?! I'm not always the best at it, but I'm just going to keep trying!

I'm happy to be winding down my work morning. It has been a bit hectic at the Inn here today! In a few minutes I'll be heading towards a much needed counseling session. And if this pretty weather holds up, I'll be heading to the beach after that. I'm really looking forward to that since it's been weeks since my toes have been in the ocean!!!

Happy Sunday all!!!!

Struggle

I have been struggling emotionally lately. I have been doing my best to keep busy, be around people, think  positively, stay active and all of the other usual suggestions. I've gone to the doctor on several occasions. As a matter of fact I have another appointment tomorrow. I feel like I'm doing everything "right" and getting nowhere. It makes me feel a little hopeless. It makes me feel like I should just give up and fake my way through it until something gets better. Is that what everyone else does?!

Everyday is a Holiday!

Did you know that just about every single day of the year is a holiday? For instance today is Draw a Picture of a Bird Day!! How interesting!! A few of my favorites:

- National Deep Dish Pizza Day (April 5th)
- National Margarita Day (February 22nd)
- National Kiss Day (January 19th)
- Positive Thinking Day (September 13th)
- Book Lover's Day (August 9th)
