Jenny, Use Your Telescope

Just like a Barbie Doll

Some days, I feel like cop. Other days, I'm more like a kindergarten teacher. Today was a little bit of both.

I'm so multi-faceted.

'Cause Without Love I Won't Survive

I can embrace the amount of stress that comes with my job, but at the same time, so many great things happen here I must share from time to time. For instance:

Some kid with blue all over his face just walked into my office and asked me where the cotton candy was. I politely told him that I didn't have any cotton candy and he was so disappointed. The other kids told him it was here and tricked him :(

I kind of wish I had a stash hidden away just for him. That and a handy wipe.

Don't Let Me Out of Your Sight

I tend to get excited about the overly simplified things in life (having money on my laundry card I didn't know about, getting letters/cards in the mail, etc.) . I randomly found this blog a while back and I love everything about it. It showcases the beauty in simple things and makes my life :)

Check it out!

It will be ok, you'll laugh at this one day...

My confidence is fleeting me. I want it back. Today would be nice :)

Back to Blogging!

2010-02-12T08:04:00.000-08:00

After a long hiatus, I've decided to try blogging again. If only I could find interesting things to write about on a regular basis. We'll see how that goes :)

She's a rainbow and loves the peaceful life

This is my new desktop background at work. I think it's relaxing. Like get on a row boat relaxing. The Shins came on the radio when I started writing this; I suppose it's suiting.

I feel so spastic lately. I've been taking care of all of the important, "have to get them done" things, but I haven't been spending much time out doing things I really enjoy. I feel like my mind is leaving me. I keep forgetting what I'm doing, what I was just talking about, etc. etc. I don't feel as mentally sharp. I don't know what the deal is. I guess I need to stop stressing and get out more.

On that topic, I got out of my house and went to dinner and shopping with Julie G. last night. We were catching up on everything from the last couple of weeks. After realizing that I hadn't done anything particually great lately, I once again decided that I need to make a conscious effort to get out more and experience new things, even if it means going out of my comfort zone just a little. I'm always bad about things like this. I'll say I want to do new things and never do, so try and encourage me to do so whent the opportunity arises.

In happier news, I'm leaving for Flag tomorrow for a couple of days! When I get home tonight, I have to, have to finish Julie T's birthday present. For reals. Time to stop procrastinating. I've been working on it all month and I'm down to the wire. Ah!

You can put a stick in my spokes

I am in love with Brett Dennen's "Hope for the Hopeless". I've also realized that I love the Wurlitzer...it's quite lovely.

PS. "Ain't Gonna Lose You" = MAGIC!

Just call out my name...

I hate when a song has such a profound effect on you that it makes your stomach drop to your feet.

Just kidding, I actually love it. It will always amazes me that certain songs can do that. It always throws me back to the most random memories and crystallizes them into this picture perfect mold. It's quite lovely actually.

That is all.

PS. I have got to stop using snippets of James Taylor songs for my blog titles...

Now that is all :)

Dear Little Joy, Elvis Perkins in Dearland and M. Ward,

You are all wonderful. You make my life.

Love,

Long ago and far away

13 straight days of work + Next 2 days off = The reason why I'm up at 6:30 on a Sunday

I've apparently lost my sense of time. WTF?!

I don't know why, I don't know when

2009-08-15T12:03:00.000-07:00

I know I haven't written a blog in quite a while. I am going to attempt to write something that Jules would be proud of and not dub "tweet-worthy", so here goes:

I've been real scatter-brained as of late and I can't figure out why. I've lost touch with so many people over the course of the last month or so and for that, I'm sorry. For the past month, I've been doing my fair share of work (I'm on the final day of a 13 day work week, if you'd like to call it that). Not too exciting, I know, but here's to making the forthcoming weeks worth while.

Here's a short synopsis of life lately:

I hate running into or hearing from people you haven't had contact with in a while. It's real uncomfortable, especially when you can see they've completely forgotten about you or can't seem to remember you at all.

How do you teach someone who is unwilling to learn? If you have any thoughts or success stories, please feel free to send them my way. It would be much appreciated.

I feel like redecorating my bedroom and planting an herb garden. I think I'm going to make these my new projects.

It continues to amaze me that things are going in the completely opposite direction of how I had originally envisioned them. I think what's more amazing is the fact that despite all the differences in what I had planned and what's actually happening, life is good and has turned out a hell of a lot better than imagined.

You just won the World Series! What are you going to do next?!

2009-07-30T15:41:00.001-07:00

I'm going to Disneyland!!

Pretty, Pretty

I have a pretty new blog thanks to Jules! It makes my life.

I was perusing through the world wide web and decided I want my future home to look something like this (just not light blue and with more trees and a flower garden):

The thought of having to possibly move is making me a little uneasy, but looking at cute houses makes me feel a little better about the whole thing. Too bad you can't have red doors in apartments...

Oh to be a struggling youth...

2009-07-22T15:52:00.000-07:00

I have been surviving on ramen noodles and frozen vegetables for the better part of a week. Life is good :)

When I look into your eyes, I see that thousand yard stare...

2009-07-20T18:57:00.000-07:00

Yay! New blog! Rad name! Thunderstorm is coming in. Follow me because you know you want to :)
