Let's see. Seems like awhile since I've blogged. I feel like a million things have happened since I last blogged. Well guess I'll have to start with my job situation..I am currently looking for a new job..after a looonnngg time of going back and forth, and fighting it, I finally realized that it's just time for me to move on. I have learned so many things and had the best times at my current job..however, the times, they are a changin, and it's time to move on. I'm pretty terrified about this..completely out of my comfort zone..so, if you are reading this, please pray for me that I can have the strength and courage to get out there and find something new!
Last week, I went to Disneyworld for the first time ever! I had the best time..it was everything and more than I wished it would be. I haven't been on a roller coaster ride, or any theme park for that matter for honestly probably 11-12 years..Needless to say, I was excited. We went non-stop from 8 in the morning til midnight or later on some nights. I was completely exhausted and so tired every day, but it was so worth it. It really is the happiest place on earth! I loved going to Epcot and Hollywood studios, but my favorite part was The Magic Kingdom. Nothing beats it! The fireworks and light show above (and on) the castle really does take your breath away (the first time you see it, at least). It's hard to believe that they spend that much $ on a daily basis on fireworks (for each park) and on the millions of employees that they have. We also went to Universal Studios for a day, and that was really great too. It's not Disney, but it is really fun. I finally got to try butterbeer at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter..it was so good..I want more I want more..that was our quote for the entire trip (besides "Life is Good") because you do need more. I think I left out that we went to Animal Kingdom for a day too..it rained most of that day, but it was fun too! We went on a safari there and saw some giraffes running and playing..I think that was the best part. I've never seen a giraffe run! They look like they're galloping clumsily in slow motion. One of the roller coasters in this park was probably one of my favorites..it's called Everest and it's so scary and fun and terrifying and I laughed the entire time because I just couldn't handle myself. heh. I came home very hoarse. I think I could write a book on this trip, so I'll just leave it at this: Funnest trip of my life.
Last night I stayed up very late, because today is Memorial Day and I don't have work! I was reading my bible..and ya know how sometimes you have read the same story so many times in your life, but one time you read it..and something sort of sticks out to you? Like it's just something small, but it's something you always have just read over and not thought too much about it. Well I was reading the story in Genesis about how God tested Abraham, and asked him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. He didn't even question God..he just did it. Isaac was his promise..the son that God had promised to him and Sarah. Well, after an angel came to Abraham and told him not to sacrifice his son..he looked up and there was a ram to sacrifice instead. Then Abraham called the place "The Lord Will Provide." It just made me stop and think a few minutes about how many people I know that have had to sacrifice their dreams..their promises. But guess what? When you do that, The Lord will provide. I know how very hard and scary it can be to sacrifice something or let go of something that God promised to you..and I can promise you that if you have the strength to let it go..to give that dream or that promise back to God..he WILL provide for you. It may not be the way that you wanted or thought he would provide for you..but he does. This probably sounds so elementary to most people..but until you actually have to go through this in your own life, it's not real to you. Maybe that's why this time it kind of stuck out to me. I don't know all of the ways that he will provide for me..but I have the hope and the faith that he will..how he wants to..in his timing. I know that there is a reason that I had to go through everything I did..it really totally changed me and who I am. But that needed to happen.
Enough of all of the deep stuff! I have so many shows to catch up on my DVR..and also the last season of Arrested Development to finish..and some more episodes of Mad Men to watch..and Eisley to listen to..just so many things. Hope you people are all having a fun Memorial Day with family and hopefully at a beach or next to a pool!

You ain't seen nothin yet..
Another year older. sigh. I think for the first time I actually FEEL older..I never have felt that way before. I guess it's been a heavy year for me. So many changes. As a result, I have changed. So much, in so many ways. I think if I knew a year ago where I am today, I would have probably had a panic attack! But. I'm here. I made it! One more year in my twenties..my brother told me tonight that I needed to live it up. Ha! I think I've done enough living in my twenties to kind of calm down a little bit. Or maybe not ;)
I guess my birthday was bittersweet this year. It's the first time in a LONG time that I have been single for my bday. It's just not the same..although my family and friends for sure made up for it! I had a great time spending time with so many different friends and family members over the past week. That's better than getting all the presents in the world. I swear, I think my love language is kind of changing..I don't know if that's possible? But..I really used to be so materialistic (I realize that this does change with age for most people-for the most part!)..but I really think that I value people and experiences more now that I have before. I really didn't care this year if I got one gift. Looking back at the past few years..the horrible situation I was in..I think maybe I turned into a shop-a-holic because it was like my addiction..everything in my life sucked, but I could go shopping and it would feel better. For a day or 2..then I needed to buy something again. I totally understand how some people have that problem! I didn't want to think about anything that was really going on in my life. Of course, going from 2 (very large) incomes to one has definitely made me hold the reigns on the spending. But ya know it was starting to get out of control.
I also just wanna say again Happy Mother's Day to my mom..she helped me plant some pretty flowers today AND she gave me my first sewing machine! I'm both excited and overwhelmed at the thought of learning how to sew. (I get overwhelmed really easy ha!) But yeah, she's a great mom..I know she had a tough time with me growing up..I wasn't perfect like my brothers ;P jk jk..but I was a handful and I know it. The wild child. We somehow made it through without killing each other. She's been a great listener/advice giver..very patient and kind and giving of her time. Couldn't ask for a better mom!

Rep the streets you ride on.
Wah after the Ides of March I kind of fell off of the blogging wagon. Well let me just fix that with a really long post!
This week just so happens to be my birthday week. My cousins/friends and I had a small but really fun early sort of party last Friday since they will all be busy/out of town for my actual birthday. It was fun and involved lots of guacamole and queso and tacos and daquiris. And a Justin Timbercake. You see, there is nothing in the world that can compare to a Justin Timbercake on one's birthday. It was the best I'm-not-30-yet birthday cake I've ever seen!
On Saturday my friend and I decided that we would go rock climbing at an indoor place in Lafayette. I have never done that before sooo..well I was scared. Because I'm a baby and scared of everything. (I read this thing one time that said that if you teach your kids that fear-like of heights or extreme things- is an exciting feeling instead of a scary feeling, then they may not be as scared to try new things like that in life..I might try this with my kids one day because I'm such a fraidy cat!) So yeah, the first time I climbed like 3 feet off the floor and looked down and immediately freaked out and told Ethan to "LET ME DOWN LET ME DOWN NOW." Of course, he climbed to the top because he likes to do scary things and isn't a wus like me!! I tried again and made it-a little-higher. The third time I tried, I almost made it to the top. I had a tiny freak out moment when I realized that one of the rocks that I needed to place my foot on was missing..I sort of just stared at the wall for like 3 minutes. Then looked to my right, and there was a 5 year old scaling the wall like Spiderman..looked to my left, and there was an even younger boy doing the same thing. Yeah, I was on the kid's wall. So what, who cares! I made it (almost) to the top before I freaked out to come down. It was very hard. My arms were hurting so bad and were shaking because my upper body is so weak. My back and neck were even sore! We then went to the Crawfish Festival in Breaux Bridge, which was one of the worst experiences in my life. Rude people..bad food..just not a great experience.
On Monday night, my sister in law took me to see one of my favorite bands of all times, P.O.D. We found out about the show pretty last minute..and it was in Shreveport. So I managed to get off early and leave at about 3. We finally got there at about 7:30 after a few stops on the way (one may have been to a shoe store..because who wears sandals to a rock show where you might lose a toe or 7?? Crystal. That's who.) We went into the venue, which was a smoky bar/pool hall..and found the stage in the back. We were the only ones standing there. From this point on Crystal would not allow me to move because she just knew 500 people would run through the door at that very moment and push her out of her spot while I was in the bathroom or getting water. No one came. For like 20 more minutes. Then a very nice ginger boy came and stood by us..and I could tell what he was up to, but Crystal loves to find out people's life stories and fears and hopes and joys, so she had long conversations with him while I nodded my head and pretended to listen (the boy then told me I was beautiful and many other things throughout the whole show..wouldn't let his friend stand by my because I was "his friend", and then attempted to trade me P.O.D.'s set list for my phone #, after I clearly told him before the show that it was mines.)
So yeah..the only bad part about standing on the front row at a show is that you have to stand through all of the bands until the people you came to see come on. The first band included: A latino guitar playing screamer, a very skinny bassist that wore a batman shirt, batman beanie, and batman headphones, a chubby jersey wearing Fred Durst rapper, an Aaron Gillespie look-a-like on the drums, a mixed singer who had a baby voice (kind of like cocarosie but it was a male..), and a guy with a turntable...? I was so confused. It was bad. The second band had really dumb songs, but the singer had an amazing voice, and the guitar player was unreal..he was pretty gross, but he played the guitar with someone's cowboy boot..he was really really good.
I don't really know why I am making this story so long..but yeah..POD finally came out and Crystal and I were ready, both wearing our Whosoever T shirts..the singer pretty much immediately noticed and said "Nice shirts!" I probably almost died. It turns out that not many people knew every single song they sing..oh, but we do. It was so fun..The singer handed each of us the mic to sing parts of the songs..he gave us his water bottle after he had taken a sip..they pretty much paid attention to us the whole time and everyone was jealous and we liked that a lot. I also think that the keyboard player has amazing dreds and we thought he would get them stuck in the keys because he was so crazy. And I really would probably love to marry him. But ya know. They even sang both of our favorite songs. After the show we stalked their bus, like usual, and waited for them to come out. They were super nice..they loved that we knew all of the songs and said they were watching us the whole time "rocking out" (I hate when people say that, but I made an exception this one time). We talked to everyone in the band and Sonny (the singer) asked to take a picture with us for his twitter (EEK!! It ended up on twitter and fb and IG EEEEk!!). We then squealed the whole way to the car and talked non stop for 4 hours while eating lots of junk food until we got home.
Again, I'm not sure why I made this post go on..I was actually going to write about something else..but I fear that I may have bored you all to death if you have even made it this far..so yeah.
Tomorrow night I'm having dinner with my friends from college, and Saturday I'm going to see The Great Gatsby (YAY!!) and going to another friend's house for my actual birthday. Then Sunday is Mother's Day and family bday dinner time. Excited for the weekend!

We're the blood of God's veins..
I have to say..Today I am feeling sooo much better than I was 2 days ago.
Yesterday I had a day off from work..I brought my puppy to the vet. Got all of her shots, wormed her (ew that always sounds so gross to me), got her teeth looked at and everything else you can think of. My vet said that she had a beautiful coat :) I then went to my Dr's appt..I was sent straight to X-ray. Then I waited for an eternity to see the Dr. He took one look and said, "Do you want me to remove that ganglion cyst or just drain it today?" I told him that I couldn't take a month off of work to have it removed so we decided on draining the cyst. There is a really big chance that it will come back, but I'm praying it won't!! I told him what I did for a living and that I worked for Mike Morgan..he was like oohhhh well we can't have you out of work for very long then. He then pulled out his tape recorder to record my notes and he sounded like one of those auctioneers (is that what you call them??) It sounded like this: eeeehhhbleebleeblooblaahhMikeMorganbleeghourrthhoubleeganglioncystleftdorsumbleebloo etc..you get the point! I lol'ed. Couldn't help it. I tried to make a joke a few times and he sort of just looked at me..he drew a perfectly anatomical picture of all of the carpal bones in under 10 seconds and I was like wow that's a really good drawing! I was really impressed..but then he just stared at me. Because duuuuhh he probably draws it for every single patient he sees a day which is probably like 20+. ha! I wish I could upload the video of the cyst being removed (my sick co worker made me record it but I couldn't even watch the needles so I'm surprised it came out!) He basically just numbed my wrist (which was the super painful part) then drew the fluid out of the cyst with a bigger needle. Then he pressed on the cyst until it popped and moved the fluid around, wrapped me up, and sent me out the door! He prescribed me with no massaging until Monday. ha! So I ended up doing a lot of busy work at work today and working with people that needed one on one treatment with a therapist.
Wow, that seems like a really boring story. But really..I am so happy that my dogs are taken care of, that my wrist is taken care of..I got to go grocery shopping. I've learned over the past year to just be happy that I have what I have. I was seriously a shop-a-holic. Don't get me wrong, I still am at heart. But I think I was just going after so many material things because I was so unhappy and I could think about what I wanted to buy next instead of what was actually going on in my life. I really do love to shop, though! I think I am very materialistic..but lately I have been learning to not be so much. I think that's maybe part of why I'm going through this right now..
welllll I'm pretty sure the Ides of March blog challenge is over? But I'm kind of on a roll with blogging so I think I'll keep it up :)

Something takes a part of me..
(I really don't like Korn..but I've been reading Brian Welch's book and now this song stays in my head all of the time :''( I still remember the video on TRL and how mad I was that it made #1 all the time!!)
I think I must share something.
This past Sunday at church, most of the people there were each saying a little testimony..well not necessarily a testimony..but just something good that happened to them..something small (or something big) that was a reminder that God cares about the little things that we care and worry about. Well I was so scared that they would hand the mic to me and expect me to say something good that happened to me. Then think I was being silly or whatever when I would have to say that I had nothing. Over the past month, things have been..hard. I have been working non stop..my poor hands are killing me from massaging so much. In fact, I now have what I'm 99.9% sure is a ganglion cyst on my left hand. There really isn't like one specific cause for ganglion cysts, besides trauma, or repetitive use. At this point..well I can't not work. I have been more stressed out this year about money than I've ever been. I make really good money. More than most of my friends in the same field. I am just so horrible at budgeting! For the past month I have been scrounging up every penny (and maxing out credit cards :O !!) to live. To put gas in my car to go to work. I had a lot of bills pile up on me and I couldn't put them off any more. Also, I was trying to pay off my trip to Disney World, which don't get me wrong, I am super duper excited about..but I don't know if it was the best decision to make financially? At this point, I don't care..I need a vacation more than anyone knows and I'm gonna go even if I have to eat an apple for lunch. Back to my story..anyway, yesterday I was feeling really stressed out again because I have so many bills due, a Dr. appt tomorrow for my cyst (that I'm pretty sure I know exactly what the Dr will say/do, but it's better to be safe than sorry!), an appt for my puppy to finally get her shots that I've been putting off for far too long..I was in tears on my way home from work. I just didn't know how I would make it work.
I checked the mail on my way in and noticed something that was to my (ex) husband from the same company that we had had our home mortgage with about 3 years ago..I opened it and it just so happened to be..a check! I couldn't believe it. We have been trying to settle with this company, tracking down phone calls, payments that we made through the company and they kept putting us off. Now, what they owe us, and what they actually payed us is really crazy. They owe us a whole lot more than the check was..but a letter that came with the check said that the company had settled and this was how much every person was going to get..honestly, I've been ready to move on from this situation since it happened. My ex kept saying he would get a lawyer and take them to court..but really..it was such a horrible time in both of our lives that I really just want to move on and forget that it ever happened. Anyway, my ex told me to just keep the check because he knew that I needed it. So there's my happy! I've so been needing something, anything good to happen. Sorry if I'm being a debbie downer..but seriously I've had a rough couple days/weeks/months/years, but who's counting?? Things are getting better..and I believe they will continue to get better.
The puppy even calmed down tonight and actually went and got in her kennel when she was ready to go to bed instead of jumping up and down like a psycho biting all of my flesh off. Say a little prayer for my ganglion cyst please! Maaaaaaybe It'll give me an excuse to let my hands rest at work. But I don't know how my patients will like that! They ask for me to give them a deep tissue massage every time they come in..sometimes they ask specifically for me. I'm not sayin I'm the best, shoot, I'm far from it. But I'm learning and gaining experience every day. I really do enjoy my job and what I do..I hope I can keep doing it for a long time.
I'm so excited to have a day off tomorrow that I might cry! It's midnight and I'm still up! I get to wake up early and clean my kitchen and fold clothes and run errands all day! Sounds pretty mundane..but it's just what I need..I love days like that.
night night.

I am just so horrible at budgeting! For the past month I have been scrounging up every penny (and maxing out credit cards :O !!) to live. To put gas in my car to go to work. I had a lot of bills pile up on me and I couldn't put them off any more. Also, I was trying to pay off my trip to Disney World, which don't get me wrong, I am super duper excited about..but I don't know if it was the best decision to make financially? At this point, I don't care..I need a vacation more than anyone knows and I'm gonna go even if I have to eat an apple for lunch. Back to my story..anyway, yesterday I was feeling really stressed out again because I have so many bills due, a Dr. appt tomorrow for my cyst (that I'm pretty sure I know exactly what the Dr will say/do, but it's better to be safe than sorry!), an appt for my puppy to finally get her shots that I've been putting off for far too long..I was in tears on my way home from work. I just didn't know how I would make it work.
I checked the mail on my way in and noticed something that was to my (ex) husband from the same company that we had had our home mortgage with about 3 years ago..I opened it and it just so happened to be..a check! I couldn't believe it. We have been trying to settle with this company, tracking down phone calls, payments that we made through the company and they kept putting us off. Now, what they owe us, and what they actually payed us is really crazy. They owe us a whole lot more than the check was..but a letter that came with the check said that the company had settled and this was how much every person was going to get..honestly, I've been ready to move on from this situation since it happened. My ex kept saying he would get a lawyer and take them to court..but really..it was such a horrible time in both of our lives that I really just want to move on and forget that it ever happened. Anyway, my ex told me to just keep the check because he knew that I needed it. So there's my happy! I've so been needing something, anything good to happen. Sorry if I'm being a debbie downer..but seriously I've had a rough couple days/weeks/months/years, but who's counting?? Things are getting better..and I believe they will continue to get better.
The puppy even calmed down tonight and actually went and got in her kennel when she was ready to go to bed instead of jumping up and down like a psycho biting all of my flesh off. Say a little prayer for my ganglion cyst please! Maaaaaaybe It'll give me an excuse to let my hands rest at work. But I don't know how my patients will like that! They ask for me to give them a deep tissue massage every time they come in..sometimes they ask specifically for me. I'm not sayin I'm the best, shoot, I'm far from it. But I'm learning and gaining experience every day. I really do enjoy my job and what I do..I hope I can keep doing it for a long time.
I'm so excited to have a day off tomorrow that I might cry! It's midnight and I'm still up! I get to wake up early and clean my kitchen and fold clothes and run errands all day! Sounds pretty mundane..but it's just what I need..I love days like that.
night night.

Take control of the atmosphere...take me far away from here..
Today.
I didn't like today, much.
I have been working til 5 or later every single day of the week. My co workers either get a half day or the whole day off on Friday. Today was the only day I could have maybe tried to bypass some of the traffic to get home before 6:00. Well that didn't happen. Even though I did continuing education classes at work for almost 3 hours, when I could have been at home doing them, not sitting on my butt not working for 3 hours (but hey-I was getting paid to do it..so I guess I shant complain.) I'm just sooooo ready for a vacation. A getaway. A friend to move close to me..just ANYTHING. I need just something exciting to happen soon or I'll go crazy!
While I'm in the complaining mood..my dogs are driving me nuts today. I'm about to let them both just run wild in the woods and get their own water and their own food. Or, I am going to de claw both of them, and put muzzles on them. I promise I have scratches covering my arms and my legs. They don't mean to..For some reason Moo moo HAS to scratch with her razorblade claws (they only get worse when you clip them..) over and over and over, as if I haven't screamed enough the first 27 times she did it. And the puppy. won't. stop. biting. me. She is just playing..but I have tried so many different ways to get her to stop. And nothing. She's just a teething puppy and she has to chew on something. Like a Steve Madden platform heel that cost me a small fortune (I haven't worn them in 2 years..but still!). If she touches my furniture..I'm gonna get crazy on her!!
Okayyyy I really love my dogs. But ya know, one of those days.
Hope you guys had a better day than me!

I got one more silver dollar..
Wahhh more blogging days I missed. Guess I've been a little busy this weekend to blog.
Gotta give a Happy Birthday shout out to the moms..yesterday was her birthday! I think she had a good one..she spent the day doing what she loves to do..going to church, spending time with the fam, and working in the garden. Oh and eating blizzard cake :P which was sooo much better than Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes. js.
I don't have much else to blog about..I'm about to start a a new show! Don't know that I'll have much time..or be able to pay attention to an hour long show with the crazy puppy around..but I'm about to start Mad Men. It's been on my list for so long so I'm finally gonna watch it. The new season started last night and I recorded it so that I'll be ready when I get to it! Oh. I also finished reading The Giver. whomp whommmppp. I need to probably talk to someone else who has read it because..well idk. I felt like it kept leading up to something and then it just sort of fizzled out for me at the end. Maybe I'm crazy and maybe everyone else loves it. but watevs.
Goin watch Don Draper be awesome. Night night.
