Garden planning

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of spending $1 for a single red pepper in December. Seriously, it's a pepper. THIS has been the driving force for me to plan a garden for this summer. I have the space, I have a row of asparagus already, time to fill in some more. So far, I've mainly been researching, trying to decide what to grow, and not getting much of anything done. The list so far: Peppers kale (?) Zucchini Squash green beans (?) Potatoes (?)

Because I'm random at best

I really should get better about posting here on a regular basis, not just once a year. What has occurred in the past year: Bought a house Got a yittle puppy. Got another dog. Started working on my degree again. (Community Health Education is what I'm currently working on.) I've decided to stop doing massages (while I'm going to school and working full-time) as I need more time for me and more time for family. Need to work on a social life/getting out with people with similar interests. Otherwise, everything is as normal as it can be. (AKA: it is always crazy and full of ups and downs) Hoping to plant a garden this year and perhaps revive this blog.

Yoo Hoo!

Hello all! I have a slight free moment and am doing a fast track update.
Things are going well.
Love the new position at the university.
Life took a crazy turn and me and TJ are back together. (TJ is my daughter's dad)
We are looking at houses at the moment, but are undecided on what we really want to do there.
The girl is doing well. She loves school and learning about things.
Reading, science, and history are all fun subjects for her. :D
Otherwise, not a whole lot other than living life.
I go to the gym a lot and have lost over 50lbs in the past year and dropped about 3 sizes.
I enjoy feeling better about myself and feeling healthier in general.
I'm going to start taking courses again as well.

1 of to 1 in

So, life tends to be a roller coaster. Mine tends to involve a roller coaster of emotions. Most days I am hapy just being the awesome that is me. :) Everynow and then,the lonely catches up and hangs around for a few days. :P
Hobby Lobby almost made me cry today. I decided to look at home decor/wall hanging stuffs. Reading all the family makes a home, love is all that matters, etc did a number of my delicate emotional state.
And what's odd isbecause prior to going in, I had been thinking about how I am tired of being 1 of millions. I really want to be that 1 in a million to someone.

I know that person is out there somewhere. I am just impatient. I miss the conversation, being able o just be wrapped in someones arms, miss feeling important to someone.

neglected

This blog has been neglected. I started a new position at wok and it has been busy busy busy.

I also don't have internet or cable at home, which makes it hard to post.
Things are good. Dating sucks, but I'm happy just being me. :)

The changes keep happening!

If you change one thing, it can lead to a landslide of other changes. I will be starting a new job July 1. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'm excited for the challenges and the new responsibilities and all that the new position will entail. I'm nervous because it is doing completely different things than what I am currently doing.
EEK!

Next:

I am officially in the next chapter of my life.
After a 2.5 hour wait at the courthouse, followed by a 5 minute meeting with a judge, I'm officially a single woman again.
Am I sad by this? Slightly. But I have experience a lost happiness the past months, and I have missed that. I missed the slightly goofy, ever smiling, me that I am.

So I'm looking forward to what the future holds for me.
I had a discussion with a cousin last night that put a lot of perspective to my life and goals.
Can you believe I've never had a huge desire to be "insert occupation here"?
I have the mental capacity and drive to be whatever I want. I just don't have the desire to be a corporate ladder climber.
I'm actually really content being a mom and wife and a massage therapist.
I like to learn new things, but not necessarily because I want to apply it to anything other than my own personal knowledge.
I have hobbies, I have things I like to do, but honestly, I'd rather be able to spend time with the girl and take her to do fun and interesting things. I want to teach her to be compassionate (which, I do, the girl has a heart the size of Texas made of gold). I want her to experience different things, not be limited in her interests.
Heck, I love the fact that I took Intro to Auto in high school and can take apart a lawnmower engine and put it back together, I can change my own oil, and I can change a tire.
That doesn't mean I don't like to go get my hair and nails done though.
I like being diversified. I want Kaitlin to be able to have that diversity as well.

And this post really just turned into a brain dump....but that's alright. Because that is who I am.
I am completely random.
I love being around other people.
I love being challenged.
I am fun. I am loyal. I am me. :D
