Frame of Reference

I had a WONDERFUL time last night. I was invited to go on a dinner cruise on a river boat. The weather was picture perfect and the people were great! The food was excellent too. Really, no complaints from me. I also got a lot of pictures of the sunset. It was beautiful. Leaning against the railing and being able to feel the wind coming off of the water while watching the sun turn the clouds orange and pink is an amazing experience. Very serene. This morning I woke up fairly early, around 9. Went to lunch with Cherie to this REALLY GREAT restaurant in Turkey Creek called Stir Fry Cafe. YUM! I'm going to have to take someone there if they ever come and visit. My only complaint is that they didn't have sushi. But the atmosphere is so cool. It's like a restaurant and an art gallery too. Now I'm just cleaning and picking things up. It's about that time. I'm going to really have to watch my mood swings..and cravings!

I had to wear my glasses to work yesterday because my contacts were being difficult. I only wear glasses at night, before I go to bed, so it was very bizarre to be wearing them in the morning. At the moment, I'm also wearing toe nail polish and a skirt. I'm going to this river boat dinner. I hope to get a lot of really nice pictures of the sunset and the water. Maybe I'll let someone take my picture, maybe not. :p So the title of this is from the song "Push" by Sarah McLachlan. It's an amazing song. The two stanza's that stick out to me and really have meaning for me are: "Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go You wont stoop down to battle but you never turn to go" You know who -you- are. I love coming across a song, or remember a song that really has meaning, that you can relate to. When I hear one I MUST share!

I knew the overcast skies and cool morning breeze were just a fleeting thing. Something to be enjoyed only by those who chose to get up early enough. The optimist in me wants to make it clear that it is a sign of things to come, but the realist who is sweating by mid-afternoon just growls. Patience isn't it's strong suit. It was also made abundantly clear to me last night that some people think I have absolutely no follow through with anything that I decide to undertake. While this fact may be true ( I changed my major 5 times in 3 years and I always start things and don't seem to finish them. This is particularly true with my art work) it still sort of hurt my feelings. It also made this little monster rear it's head up inside of me that yelled, "I'll show them!!" Show them -what- exactly? I have no idea. I've also changed positions at my work. I'm running around more instead of just sitting at a desk. This is a good thing as far as exercise is co...

I've tried to update this thing 3 different time and it's frozen up on me each time. *growls* It BETTER work this time. Just a little update: Saturday was pretty great. Spent some time with mom, had mexican. Good food and good company, it was a blast! Sunday was a little more low key. I just went to the gym in the morning and then rented some movies and worked on my drawing. I'm glad somebody is finally back!! I missed them A WHOLE BUNCH!! I've been told I'm a little bit bratty and I admit I like to poke them and tease them and make them uncomfortable for leaving me alone for so long. But I love them anyway. *laughs* Dumb things people say... ME: "Hey, you know that kitten you found like 8 months ago?" AUNT: "Yeah! How's she doing?" ME: "Well, she just had kittens. 4 of them!" AUNT: "HOW'D THAT HAPPEN??" ME: *BLINKS* "ummmm..." I'm having a little bit of trouble with my work situation. I'm trying rea...

Yuck. It seemed like yesterday was a bad day for everyone. I like how someone put it. “You’re like an emotional sponge.” And apparently I just needed to -wring- myself out...figuratively speaking. I feel so much better now and thank you, YOU! I had a moment the other day. I wake up 5:45 and I’m in the kitchen fixing my breakfast. Apparently I was making too much noise and my aunt woke up and came into the kitchen. Now right now there is nothing wrong with this right? She starts moaning. I kid you not!! Now there is nothing, absolutely nothing wrong with moaning when you get up because it’s so early, but she sounded like she was DYING!! She KEPT doing it!! Ooooohhhhhh.....ooooOOHHHHH.. c.C I turn to her, “Are you in pain?” “No, it’s just SO early!!” This is the same woman who wakes up at 4:30 when she has to work. I just shook my head and walked out of the kitchen. I took my breakfast of course, I usually just eat it really quick on the counter, but oh NO! I wasn’t about to stand ther...
