TGIF

Thank Goodness It's Friday!
Today will be the slowest day of the week at work. Not only is my boss out of town, and has been since Wed, but it's Friday. And Friday's are always slow. Tick, tock, tick, tock... the clock just won't tick fast enough.

I started moving some of my things into my new house. And today I'm moving more. And Saturday I'll move more. And Sunday I'll be scrubing the empty house spotless. Fun stuff. And then what? Yes, I get to unpack...

I love when people are forgiving and understanding, whether it's immediately or over time. I think that quality in a person is beautiful. It really makes me smile. So thank you, friend, for putting the past behind us, and being good to me. I'm looking forward to a forever friendship with you...

Regionals is next weekend! I'm taking over my parents house in OP for the weekend, along with maybe 7 other ultimate players. But this time we'll share 2 bathrooms! Yay for friends, house parties, blow up beds, and 2 showers! I'm very excited about it!

foXXie moXXie

moXXie played in the Sectionals tournament in Gainesville, FL this past weekend. We played hard and had a blast! We were 1 and 3, but I feel the games were closer than the scores contrue. I am now recovering from sore quads and an injured hand. I was apparently stepped on in one of my several collisions. Anyway, Go moXXie! We are off to Regionals on October 6th and 7th where we will play women's teams from Texas over to South Carolina. :o)

One thing after the next...

"To be old and wise, you must first be young and stupid"
Young and stupid is exactly the way I've been acting lately. I'm happy to hear that eventually some good will come of it. Until then, I'm sorry.

30 minutes away from the start of an eventful weekend in Gainesville. The long awaited Sectionals tournament is finally here! Carpooling down with some gals, sleeping in a house with about 7 other people (sharing 1 bathroom), and playing my heart out saturday on the fields... this will be fun! and fun is what I need.

I move in a week. That makes me happy.
I have so much to do before my move. That does not make me happy.

I wish it were December already. The brother comes to visit, the holidays mean days off work, and I get to enjoy my coffee more because the weather is cooler.

I think I might be dressing my werewolf up for halloween. It wasn't my idea, but I think it's gonna happen.

It's cloudy, and so is my head

Another cool, rainy day. I seem to have lost my umbrella. I thought it was in the car, but it's not. I haven't seen it around in a while. So today, an old Folio Weekly I found stashed behind my car seat is my new umbrella. It doesn't work well.

I've realized another pet peeve of mine. One I'm sure I've always had, but finally realized how strongly I felt about it just yesterday. Sara Lee, the food corporation/bread company/whatever, has the slogan, "Nobody Doesn't Like Sara Lee" Can we say Double Negative? I can...
And Chik-fil-A has always bothered me. Why aren't parents protesting that they are advertising misspelled words and giving a bad influence to learning minds? If I were a parent, I'd protest. Or, if I were a growing child, who spelt chicken like 'chikin' because that's how Chik-Fil-A does it, then I'd protest. I'm no english major, or anything close to it, but obvious and purposeful improper english is annoying. Are you counting how many mistakes I've just made? Keep in mind, mine aren't purposeful. :oP

And More:
"Rolled around on kitchen floors.
Tied my tongue in pretty bows with yours.
And now we pass and just like glass
I see through you, you see through me like I'm not there.

You could make my head swerve.
Used to know my every curve.
And now we meet on a street,
And I am blind. I can not find the heart I gave to you."

breakable girls and boys

I loved the weather this morning. I immediately turned off the AC and opened all my windows. The breeze is lovely. I'm looking so forward to 'winter'.

Fiona has decided that she will now bark at every single noise she hears. Even those noises she has heard daily since she came into my life.
The flag outside my parents home was waving in the wind: bark!
The kids upstairs are walking around and we can hear their footsteps: bark!
The smoke detector beeped: bark!
A car door: bark!
The oven beeped: bark!
And the wind in general: bark!
I didn't sleep well last night, thanks to my new barking canine.


More from Ingrid Michaelson:
"Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it's fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess."

It's just another manic Monday

My weekend was an excellent one. It was full of bud light, ultimate, sun, friends, packing, and a play date for Fiona. Can't get too much better than that.

And my future holds many best friends for me. I'm cut out to be a crazy dog lady, similar to that of a crazy cat lady.
I think it's funny when guys have huge muscular arms... and chicken legs. I met someone this weekend who fit that description. I had a nice chuckle or two.

Today was a typical, no good very rotten Monday. Jury Duty is no fun, contrary to popular belief. ha! Thank goodness I work for who I do, or I'd be stuck in court Friday.

Not to mention, it rained all day. Doesn't that mean we should stay in bed? And then ultimate got cancelled. Oh Mondays... I'm glad you only come once a week.

flourishing

Yes, another post on the same day. Not to mention, the first day.

Lately I've been.. well.. getting over some things. This song has helped me recover, feel whole, and move on...

"Starting Now" by Ingrid Michaelson
I want to crawl back inside my mother's womb
I want to shut out all the lights in this room
I want to start fresh, like a baby in a sink
Scrub away all these thoughts that I think, of you

So life moves slowly when you're waiting for it to boil
Feel like i watch from 6 feet under the soil
Still want to hold you and kiss behind your ears
But i re count the countless tears that I lost for you

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know:
That I promise -
Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came, into my world.

I want to crawl back inside my bed of sin
I want to burn the sheets that smell like your skin
Instead I'll wash them just like kitchen rags with stains
Spinning away every piece that remains of you.

But before you finally go there's one thing you should know:
That I promise -
Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.
It's my world, it's not ours anymore
It's my world, it's not ours anymore
Starting now I'll never know your name
Starting now I'll never feel the same
Starting now I wish you never came into my world.

I'm a celebrity

My world is exciting, stressful, complicated, busy, funny, and intriguing. Welcome.

For the record, my werewolf is everything to me.

This is my first blog. Let's see how long I actually find blogging amusing....

I had an interesting encounter yesterday while at the court house. A woman approached me and said, "You remind me of Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama with that outfit (referring to my outfit)." I simply laughed, and thanked her.

Reese Witherspoon? Seriously? I had on a black and white skirt with a red top, and I'm Reese? Okay.

So, until next time... if there is a next time.
