catching some rays

Summer is turning out to be as healing as it promised to be. There's something about going to the beach, laying out in the sun, and taking a minute to look around at your surroundings that really relaxes the soul.

Summer Reading: The Da Vinci Code to see what all the fuss was about...entertaining read so far.

Summer Job: Applying to work in childcare. I know, it requires a lot of patience. But it's a different kind of patience one must have to work with customer service. And I am so over customer service...

Summer Plans: The beach. At least 2 to 3 times a week. What a mantra to live by!! I just have to avoid sunburns...haha, that's hard for a white girl like me!!!

every little thing, is gonna be alright

So Jaclyn and I saw Pirates the other night (with all the crazies that dressed up as pirates, haha)...I must say, it was actually pretty good. I didn't have high hopes, cause the second one disappointed me greatly. Just don't go seeing it too late at night, cause that sucker is 2 hours and 47 minutes long!!! (You know, and Jack and I went to go see it at 12:30 am...smart!).

Today, I heard yet another report about a teen star getting a DUI (Lindsey Lohan)...it makes me sad to see girls so lost in a glass world of pleasing others, losing themselves in substances and becoming a shell of their former selves...eventually that world shatters into a million little pieces. So sad, so sad.

Anyway, tomorrow is Memorial Day (Yay!) and my Dad's birthday (Yay!). So beach in the morning? Dinner at night? Sounds like a good day...

tap dance on my little heart

Two things:

1. Maroon 5's album is oh-so-amazing!!!!!! They are just an amazing band that always have the most beautiful melodies in their songs, I swear.
2. I watched the finale of Dancing With the Stars. I have been religiously watching this show because of Joey Fatone (many of you know about my NSYNC addiction of the past). Well, sadly Joey did not win. But he got second, which is still amazing. And the winner, Apolo Anton Ono, is a smashing dancer, so it's justified.

I just want to say, today was a much better day than I realized it would be. Breaking free from a trapped feeling takes time...each day I will get better and expand my mind and life into brilliance. Sometimes it's just your state of mind you have to change...

changes are necessary

Hmmmm...so Ron did kind of call it. My life right now has been kind of blah. I feel like I'm kind of trapped in a place I don't want to be in anymore. I don't know if I can really explain further...it's just the state of mind I'm in.

Things have to change this summer. They simply have to change.

On a less depressing note (ahem)...Maroon 5's album is OUT!!!!!!! Must buy. Must buy. Must buy.

Hello...Goodbye

So I did get the job at Costco.

I worked there today. I absolutely hated it. I quit today.

It was one of those things I could tell would make me miserable. So I didn't stay a second longer, no matter how much they pay.

Plus, I asked if I could be off on Sundays at a certain time because of church. They told me no. What is that? That job had to go!!!

Soooo, now I have to look for a new job. Eh, it's worth my happiness.

Sundays make me smile.

Today is a great day. I haven't had a great day in awhile.

1. I went to church this morning, it gave me peace of mind.
2. It's sunny out, and my white, white pale skin is over joyed that it can become tanner.
3. I don't have to work today...that's always a plus.
4. In two days, summer is going to be here for my finals will be over :)
5. It's Mother's Day and I'm going to take my mom to a little cafe for lunch/dinner.

So today I have reasons to smile, relax and remember that I'm lucky to be alive...cause sometimes I forget about all those things...sometimes I'm very down on myself. It's time to snap out of it!!!!

diggin the new tunes

Mandy Moore has a new song out. I totally like it...what the heck?

"And now I'm ready, and now I'm ready, and now I'm ready to be...extraordinary..."

Maybe cause I'm ready to be extraordinary. Just a a little subdued star ready to shine a little brighter.

deadly mistakes

I found out today that a 19-year-old sorority girl from my college died last night from alcohol poisoning (they assume, at least). How unfortunate...how unnecessary.

I realize that I will in fact freak out as a parent. Wouldn't you? I'll probably be a over-protective, annoying mom that checks up on my kids every five seconds. But I think that's not really a bad thing now is it?

.......

School is almost over. Almost. Almost. Almost. Costco hasn't called back. *crossing my fingers*
