Happy St. Patricks day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I had a great St. Pat's day. Elisse had a really nice party with yummy shepherd's pie, with real mutton. We played party games like writing Irish blessing for one another. That was fun. And we read about St. Patrick. I am still unsure why drinking beer has anything to do with St. Patrick, but I'm not complaining just wondering. I made Irish Creme which is easy to make, and oh so delicious.
Life's been pretty good, oh except my back has been acting up. I got a sinus infection and tried to cure it on my own and well it ended up draining to my back. Yeah it's possible. Anyway my back went out and I am still a little sore. But work is good, been busy and that is good too.
Hope all of you had a great St. Patrick's day!

Dreaming on my own

I am a day dreamer. Always have been. I mean I have worked really hard to try to " live in the moment" as they say, but I don't think I can do that all of the time. I mean when I am with people I enjoy the moment. But when I am at work or driving or laying in my bed half awake I am in another world. I am always thinking. I had a friend once tell me that is not normal to always be thinking. I can't imagine not always thinking.
God has been working out a lot of stuff in me lately and today I felt like he was talking to me about day dreaming. I usually day dream these great plans for my life. They change all the time. Most of the time they come from an unsatisfied place in my life and I am searching for something esle. I don't think that place is wrong. But the thing is, I have taken control over my dreaming. I have these ideas of what my life should look like and I never include or seek the dreams of what God wants for my life. There is a lot of fear in that. Seeking God for what he has for your life. Sometimes I think he doesn't have a plan for my life, this is it. And that scares me too. It all comes down to trust.
What does one do about this? Well I guess I begin to surrender. I would be totally lying if I said that I was going to give it all up to God, cause I know this isn't all up to me and I have to stop taking control of it and ask God to show me himself and his dreams for me.

Oscar Bash...

Yeah, not really. I threw and Oscar viewing party but only my brother, sister-n-law, neice, and friend Josh came. Oh and my parents were here. But it was fun in a very relaxed way anyway. I made all kind of yummy Mexican dips. And I made a lemon pudding cake that was amazing!! And super easy if anyone wants the recipe, lemme know.
The best part about the Oscar night was filling out the ballet and keeping score of who got the most right. I had a strong start, like I got a lot of the technical awards right, but I stunk at the big awards like movie, and director, original song. I thought Babel was going to win, I didn't see it but it looked like it had all the right Oscar elements, International, race relations, said something about something, you know what I mean. Who would a thought that the mobster movie would of won in 2007, I thought those went out in the 80's, when it came to awards anyway.
Oh and my favorite dress was Gwenyth, she looked stunning in that earthy pink color and all the geometrics. Amazing, my second place was Kate Winslet, she looked beautiful as well.
Well that's my Oscar fun night!

Still Waiting

So my boyfriend Maxwell was suppose to release a special CD for me the day before Valentine's day to show his love for my loyalty to him, and well all I got was a message saying it's coming soon. Soon? When is soon? I have been waiting so long for this! Oh well I guess I will wait a little longer.

Single hearted Valentine

You know I think as a single person I celebrated Valentines Day more than my married and hooked up friends. I think as a single girl you don't want to feel left out of a holiday for lovers so you go out of your way and find all your other single friends and make a pact not to be alone and to do something fun and different. The people who are in love don't need to go out their way because love is enough. Maybe that's just how I perceive it anyway.
This year I decided that I didn't need to go out of my way either. I offered to babysit for my cousin and her husband so they could have the night out and I spent Valentines with my biggest fan, the person outside of my immediate family who loves me the most, yeah she's 2 1/2 but she thinks I am a rock star or something and that always feels good.
A holiday based around love seems like it should be more important than it is and be about than romance but what true love is, like serving one another and being patient and kind. I know we should be doing that stuff everyday but a day to got out of your way is always good.
So happy Valentines Day from one very loved single hearted girl!

Bitter Cold

It's like 6 degrees here and it's bitter cold out. I think every year I say "I don't remember it being this cold" and every year I complain about how long the winters are here in Michigan. You would think I would get used to it, but instead I block it out and forget how bitter cold it really is. I have some friends who think it's so pretty here in the winter with the snow and the lakes and all that, it's nice for like 2 days.
Anyway the new job is going well. I wasn't sure if I would like it, listening to people complain on the phone all day, but so far I do like it. The day goes by really fast and some of the time I feel like I am helping someone out.
I have been dog sitting for the last two weeks while my parents lay on the beach in sunny Florida and then call and tell me how it was only 84 degrees out today. Poor Bubba pulled a muscle in one of his legs and is limping and crying. It's really sad. I took hime to the vet today, I felt like an adult. It's weird what things make you feel all grown up.
Yesterday Christie had a girls craft night. I love those nights. We decoupaged last night. It was fun. I made two cool cards and if you ever want someone to lead a craft night call Christie because she is really good at it.
Well that sums up the last few weeks, oh except I had my annual pizza party. This year it fell on my brother' birthday so we joined the two. It was a lot of fun, I think we had our best turn out yet.

Love Sick?

Why is when I am sick I get all emotional? I think this is a normal feeling, but why? I have this horrible cold, I can barely breathe, as Napolean Dynamite would say "It hurts real bad" anyway I think he said that, I am not really sure cause I can't really think straight. But back to my original point which I think went something like this, why when we are sick do we just want to be loved, or in love or both? I mean I guess we want someone to take care of us because we aren't feeling well, but why is our or at least my emotional state so heightened? Is there evidence to this sort of thing? I mean it's different than being in pain. I have been in some kind of physical pain on a daily basis for 10 years, and well I guess you just get used to it, but I get a little cold and I'm like a little baby. Weird. So today I lounged on my couch all day and totally fed the melacholy behavior by watching way too many episodes of Felicity. I have a weekness for young adult soap operas. I love them, especially when I am sick. Anyway I am rambling, I have to get up for work in a few hours so off to try to sleep I go.
