Writing Away

Life is strange. Everyone has their own path in life. Everyone has their own struggles and challenges. No two lives are ever the same. It's really interesting to me to meet someone with such a flair for life or someone who really has had to struggle through life. Like, life is not easy! Life is an adventure. Its like ur handed a set of cards, you have to play them, but how you choose to play them is your choice. My life is not where I thought it would be at being 26 years old. But it could be way worse. Who cares, I pay my rent, I pay my bills, my goals are within reaching distance, I make new goals every day, I work hard and I can play even harder. Life is a balancing act. In order for one part of ur life to be at peace u have to have the other areas of ur life just as balanced. My life, its my life and I like it. I see myself doing great things, as for now, where I am, its where I need to be, if it wasnt, then I wouldnt be here.   "Life is either a daring adventure or not

In the storm/ wine cellar! Waiting this out! The radio says we are surrounded by tornados! eeeccck! I kind of want to cry

Steph and I are sitting n the storm cellar...electricity is out... I'm terrified! We have a self wind up radio... I didn't know I would be working out my arms while sitting underground.

Congrats to the Happy Bride and Groom!  I'm so happy for them. The big day is going to be amazing and so much fun! Everything is going by so fast, we'll be in Puerto Rico before we know it! Anger Danger! Goooo MAVS! we work really hard! 

Some music that got me through our rd trip!  OMG!!! Im home!!! It was a long drive, but I made it home!! Sissy and I split the drive so it wasnt that bad. We took 114 all the way home....theres nothing out there, but the rd was fun to drive since there were more curves and corners to take...I tried to see how fast i could go around a corner, got to about 95-ish and then got scared.... Ill say thats not bad for me! :) my sister wasnt too thrilled. We only stopped twice! In and out, real fast! I just wanted to get home! Im back to civilization! Im glad I made the trip to see my sister. We spent some quality time together. I dont think Ill be making anymore visit till my sister graduates. Time to rest up for tonight to see my friends AND I have a BIG day on Sunday!! :-)))  There's no place like home!  Used up my sisters eggs since she's not going to be at her apartment for a while.... eggs at 230am? Guess its better than having a burger! I make the BEST eggs! Im a natural! I

I made it Lubbock in one piece!! The plane was tiny and I almost had a panic attack. I was on a 50 seater plane, the smallest kind of plane I've ever been on! It was only a 50 min trip, but I was still very nervous! I almost had wished I had just driven my car. But 5 hrs vs. 50 mins...hands down Im going with the 50 min plane trip. I just dont like that I dont have control of my life. The landing was pretty smooth. I held my breathe the entire time we were taking off and landing. I dont know how I'm going to survive a 6 hour flight though. I barely made it to Lubbock. I have two more flights before I take my big trip, at least Im getting some practice in! I called my mom the minute I landed and told her that I didnt "wake up dead!" ;-) Today my sister has to work 3-midnight. So Im left to fend for myself. She left me her car so I can run around lubbock on my own. ;-) There is so much dust out here, I hear its normal though. Yuck. I do have some errands to run so I w

My investment of $1.00 will go a long way!  Lovin' my black hair! maybe one of these days ill stick to a permanent profile picture! my face is going through so many different changes! its kind of odd, i thought i had already gone through this stage! lol  My hard working is starting to show!! Heck yeah!! and its not even June!!  Even my mother noticed!! PER MY MOTHER "You're looking skinnier!" 

It's so great to see Alicia smile like this. I haven't seen this smile in such a long time! She's come so far and I am so proud of her! "its like a cupcake!" :-) Losing weight had been one of the hardest challenges I've faced in my little life. I've been stuck in a slight rut because of my ankle. So working out has been so painful. But  I'm pushing through because Im determined to rock my dress that I have to wear for my friends wedding. I've been relying on my brace too much and the doctor said if I keep wearing it and depending on it too much, then Im actually going to make it worse and it could lead to surgery! Urgh!  Someone asked me " How are you REALLY doing? "  You know, I had to sit back for a minute and think. I responded with  " I am actually really happy right now, after all thats been going on...I can honestly tell you that I have never been happier." I don't know why this is. I should be rolling around in my o

I have fantastic friends that like my taste in books. Probably because we think alike. Like they say "Great minds think alike!"  When I worked with Charli, we both became obsessed with Chelsea Handler. Charli came across Jen Lancaster when she and I were downloading the Chelsea Handler audio books to our iPhones. Low and behold we fell in love (with Jen's books..) So we added Jen to our audio books collection. Steph is also a fan of Jen! (as well as a Chelsea fan)  Steph and I took a rd trip into Dallas (last minute planning) to get our books signed by Jen! My first book signing. It was VERY exciting!   Jen's first novel Steph and I waiting in line @ Barns & Noble in Dallas to get our books signed! Meeting Jen...she doesn't know it yet, but we are best friends :)  I have Jen's autograph! AND she spelt my name right! I highly recommend reading all her books! For the life of me, I can not get on a regular sleep pattern. It's really messing with me

Angela, Me, Charli, Steph and Laura @ Lance and Adams annual Cinco De Mayhem backyard party! (aka Cinco de drinko!)

I am offically enrolled at the Art Institute! Im so excited! July 11 is my first day of class! The campus is amazing. The only 'Green' building in all of Fort Worth!  I have to write a 300 word essay of two of three things: 1. What do you expect from the Art Institutes education? How will help you reach your life and career goals? 2. List three of your strengths. Choose two and explain how those strengths have contributed to your success in school, in art or in your life. 3. Discuss a life challenge and the efforts you took to meet and work through it.    All my paper work!^ so exciting to see it all come together! My classes!^ The car and school! The only thing missing is a job! (thanks goodness for unemployment!) But once I get started in my classes, my counselors will help me find a part-time job!  I am traveling a litte more in the next few months, another trip to Lubbock (kinda of boring but i told my sister Id help her move back home for the summer), Chicago to see

I had an awful awful dream! I love water! In my dream I was drinking water. It was an endless supply of water. But in my dream, it was nothing. It was just...water. It didn't have the satisfying taste that it normally gives me and it was really disappointing! Thank goodness I woke up and that wasn't the case at all! It was so good and I was no longer sad. :) What a relief!
