Needing a Facelift

Just as the seasons are about to change, I have made the executive decision that my blog needs a facelift. In the next few weeks, when I can actually get around to it, there will be pictures uploaded here, and videos and maybe dancing elephants, anything cool I can manage to find.

Its funny, sitting down and writing seems like a simple idea, doesn't take much effort- just need about 30 minutes, alone, whit little distraction. But recently, these 30 minutes don't really seem to exist. Between work, working out, having a social life, playing volleyball, cooking, cleaning, reading, spending time in the shower, writing takes a back seat.

Clearly I cannot replace anything on that list- everything needs to get done- and everything will get done, I just want to move writing more up on the list. As life starts to really happen- and really fun things take place, there is less and less time to write.... time... where does it go?

peace love and facelift,

Places I cannot go anymore

last weekend, my boyfriend and I were walking around downtown after a quick little stay-cation at my favorite hotel in Atlanta. The weather was beautiful, sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and finally it did not feel like a sauna outside. We decided to explore.

At the corner of Centennial Olympic park, there is a childrens museum. Seeing as my boyfriend and I really are still just big kids, we decide it would be really fun to go in. Well, to all of you who didn't know, childrens museums are not for adults. We clearly saw nothing wrong with wanting to explore the cool science displays- but clearly the owners of the museum did. We went in to buy our tickets, and the woman behind the counter asked, 'do you have a child with you?' My boyfriend and I looked at each other, very confused- I thought to say, yes, I am a big child and apparently my boyfriend is too, but seeing as that would have been inappropriate, we said we clearly didn't have one. The woman told us we were not allowed to enter without a child. Not fair. How come only adults with children are allowed to go into the fun places?

So now for the future, incase you are trying to go to a childrens museums, you either need to borrow or steal a child before going in, but just don't get arrested doing it.

Peace, love and clearly not a child,

things that are important

On my way to work this morning, something occurred to me- a few things that I want to achieve in life and a few things that I never want to change about myself and the main point in life. I never want to change my attitude. I am a happy person by nature- and feel that this is a very rare attribute. Now that I know what love is like outside of my family, I don't ever want to lose that feeling. Isn't that what everyone searches for anyways? Love is the reason I went out EVERY night in college and got dressed up and tried to meet as many boys as I could- to just find one to love me, to make me feel safe and not alone.

It's one of those days... a day of reflection... more to come when I can actually expand... not at work :)

peace love and lots of thinking,

An update....

Just like in elementary school, middle school and high school, summer is all about the break. Break from really thinking, break from all responsibility and a break from all life- well that is what I did with blogging, I took a summer break. Mostly not being inside long enough to complete my full thoughts. Although its been the hottest summer basically ever..... I have survived through it and enjoyed the time I could outside. Having a pool in my apartment complex also helps.

But now that most public schools are back in session, so am I. It's time to get back in my groove. Back to telling the world about my life. And considering its almost been a full year since I left to move to New York, its time to keep on my track to find what I really want to do. Life is pretty amazing right now socially, the most amazing boyfriend, new friends that I never through I would find in Atlanta and trying new things (like volleyball)- but there is a little something missing, maybe professionally is what's missing. I have been liking my job better- its been challenging, but maybe something else- It is a hard feeling to explain, I just want more. Maybe just something else on the side, maybe getting more involved in my work or finding something on top of my job.... Just need to search for what that something else is...

My biggest fear is to not get into a groove- not have things that I only like to do to become normal. Life should be wonderful and exciting- life should be an adventure- not just going through the motions. This is the new goal- get out of the like and get into the love..... whatever that might be.

Peace, love and schools back in session,
