Days to Remember.

On 9.11.01, I was sitting in my fourth grade classroom, completely oblivious as to the severity of what was happening to my country.
On 5.1.11, I was sitting in my living room watching tv when our president confirmed that the person responsible for that day was dead.


These two days will be ones I tell my children about. These two days made me so proud to be an American. <3

InstaOrgasm;

This is the lovely photo that greeted me yesterday afternoon when I got my mail. My ovaries went into overdrive.
But seriously, thank fuck. It's about time.

Merry Christmas;

I know it's late, but I would just like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.
I hope Santa gave you what you wished for, and my best wishes for a happy New Year.

Awake my Soul;

You ever get that feeling that you're life is stuck on repeat? That nothing ever really changes, no matter how much you will it to? Like you'd be willing for something even slightly unfortunate to happen, just to shake things up a bit?

Yeah, that's me.

Back to December;

Where did the year go? It feels like I graduated just last month, and now we're nearing the end of the year. But I admit, I've missed the overplayed Christmas music and the overexcited neighbors with thousands of light-up inflatables in their yard. I only wish that this feeling would last long after the holiday has passed. The lightness that lingers throughout the month is so tangible, you can practically taste it.

Said lightness has infected me already. I've already begun my holiday shopping and started looking over new cookie recipes. Call me old-fashioned, but that's what the how the holidays have always been for me.
I'm really just marveled by how quickly this year has passed. I feel like so much has happened, too much to seem real even. Friendships were created and lost, but that's life, and we all move on.

But maybe next year there can be another go around with those that were lost.



Because I have to include this song. It just makes sense.

What a night;

This is what I feel like right now. Plus, I just really love Katy Perry.

Here It Goes Again;

Yes, it is that time of year yet again. When the leaves start to change from their brilliant emerald green to vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. It's a calming and a peaceful time of year - warm days, cool nights, holding onto the last bit of summer. It's drawing to a close quickly this year, but I'm pretty much counting the days until Christmas anyway ;)

But in my life recently, I have a new job working at a daycare in town. It's superduper stressful at times, but I really do love playing with them and just having a good time. I actually cashed my first paycheck the other day and it really made it seem worth it. And THANK GOD for that.

In other unimportant news, guard auditions were last Sunday, and I should be getting an email very soon as to whether or not I made the team. Something tells me I didn't, but maybe that's just me being self-conscious about my abilities. I hope so, because I can't not do guard this year. This may be the last chance I have, so I want to make this one really count.

Anywho, the song of the day is 'Ohio' by Over the Rhine. It makes me smile in a sick and twisted kind of way.
