April Fools!!!

Thank goodness the month of March is finally over. It was a really long month, especially at work. New month, fresh start! And we all definitely deserve a fresh start every once in a while.

Plus, if April continues to be as nice as March was, it's going to be a fantastic month for spending time outside. I was looking at some old posts and I wrote last year around this time about an ice/snow storm. This year, all we have is sun and the typical wind. Yay! Chi-chi loves going for walks too, so that's good motivation to actually get outside and do something.

Anyway, I guess there's not much to say tonight. I was told that I should write more, so here I am. I'll work on it, maybe have something useful to say next time. Until then...

Blue October - Jump Rope

Remember how you used to say,
You could'nt wait for tomorrow for a brand new day and,
No fuss when you had to ride the bus,
You'd just add a little blush,
To paralyze your school crush.
Now you're older and the weight is on your shoulder,
make the world a little colder no more hidin' in the old day.
Be strong, don't you give up hope.
It will get hard,
Life's like a jump rope!

Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. Cause' it will get hard, remember
Lifes like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard, Cause it will get hard.

There'll be a bump and there will be a bruise,
There'll be alarms and there will be a snooze,
There'll be a path that you will have to choose,
There'll be a win and there will be a lose and,
You gotta hold your head up high and,
watch, all the negative ago by,
Don't ever be ashamed to cry,
You go ahead! Cause life's like a jump rope!

CHORUS
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard, remember
Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah..
It will get hard... C'mon!

I wanna tell you that everything will be okay,
That everything will eventually turn itself,
To gold..
So keep pushing through it all,
Don't follow lead the way,
Don't lose yourself, or your hope,
Cause life's like a jump rope!

You stomp your feet so hard you make it pound,
Raise it back up to the top and now were never comin' down
Up down,
Stomp your feet, spin around, clap hands to the rhythm,
And ya, slip down.
Stomp your feet so hard you make it pound,
Raise it back up to the top and now were never coming down!

Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard remember,
Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down
Yeah.. It will get hard,
Cause' it will get hard!

Life's like a jump rope
Up, down, up, down, up, down, up down
Yeah...
Whoa... Cause Life's like a jump rope

Mood Swing Haiku

I would like to be

a sane person just for you.

Too bad I'm crazy.

Holy Moly!

It's been practically forever and a day since I've been here! I make a habit of checking the blogs that I like to read, but I suppose I should check my own every once in a while. Such is life.

Speaking of which, gosh it's kinda sucky, huh? I find myself asking, "When exactly is it that I will be grown up and everything will stop being so difficult?" Well, I think, kids, that the answer is that it doesn't get easier as you grow up, as a matter of fact I believe (ready for this??) that it just keeps getting harder and harder. Now I wouldn't want anyone to think that I am sitting here having a pity party for myself, woe is me, woe is me, blah blah. No, actually, I know that I am pretty lucky. I have an amazing husband, my best friend, whom I love; he loves me and would give me the world if he had it to give. I'm surrounded by friends that are lovely and remind me to just keep swimming, even if I don't see or talk to them very often. I have a job, albeit a job that most days SUCKS MAJOR BALLS. But it pays the bills and I even have a little left over to save...save early, save often kiddos!!!

What I've realized is that even with all of these things working FOR me, the universe in all of it's wonderous ways seems to work against me. It brings to mind those age-old Paula Abdule lyrics "I take two steps forward and two steps back..." I digress...

As you get older, there are so many more expectations and I've never been all that keen on living up to other peoples great expectations of me. Buy a house, have kids, make more money, get a better job, buy a bigger house, have more kids, make more money...It seems like I've been so worried about what other people want out of me, I forgot to ask myself. What do I want to be when I grow up? I have no freaking idea. You would think that after going to school since 5 years of age, I would have a better answer to this questions, but unfortunately I've always been indecisive and that streak seems to manifest itself into every facet of my life. I always knew someday that my indecisiveness would be my downfall, my own Achille's heel. It's tough to live up to someone else's expecations when I don't really have any expecations for myself. I guess that's as good a place to start as any. So I guess that's what I had to say today. Don't forget to reevaluate every once in a while, I know I forget sometimes, so just a friendly reminder.

If we can get through this together, we can get through anything together.

Is anyone alive out there!?!?

So I know I haven't posted anything here in a long time, but I didn't think anyone was still there! (HI JULIE!!) Nothing too exciting here in Aberdeen, as usual. As of now, I'm just an old married woman. I'm gonna be 24 this year...in like 25 days. That's practically ancient. I'm so old it's depressing. Now all I have to look forward to is 30. Ew. Don't ask about kids, it's not gonna happen for a couple of years now. We're just trying to pay off some stuff and maybe have a house before we start on the whole family thing.

At work I got a promotion...that's pretty exciting I guess. I'm now a lead teller which really doesn't mean much except for now people ask me lots of questions and I get paid more. Woohoo :)

I've been working on my first major knitting project. Yes, I know, I really am an old person. I'm making a blanket and if I actually put my mind to it I could probably finish it in a few weeks, but at the rate I'm going I'll be lucky if it's done by the end of winter. When I'm done I'll post a picture! I'm really proud of it so far, even if I'm only a fifth of the way done!

Well I guess I had more to say than I thought I did. Isn't that how it usually goes though?

Long time...

It's been so long, I don't even know what to write!! I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore. It's ok if they don't though...I'll still write every three to four months. I'm thinking about getting a new tattoo, but I have no idea what to get or more importantly, where to get it. That's pretty much it, any ideas just holla. Ok I'm done.
