12&13

This blog thing has already helped me a great deal. So I shall continue!

12: I am greatful for skintimate. Never have my legs felt smoother than when I shaved with skintimate shave gel. Now, being a lady, you'll understand the necessity of smooth to the touch legs. And if your a man, well, imagine shaving your face with a single blade razor and dial bar soap. Doesn't work so well. Ladies need a good shaving cream, too.

13: today, as I woke up, I was truly thankful for my home. Yes, its a disfunctional hot mess 90% of the time, but its home, and I love it. I love knowing the type of food we keep in the house, knowing exactly where I can find an extra blanket, and knowing how to use the backwards faucets in the upstairs bathroom. It may sound silly, but its home. I spent a long time being away from this place, and although I do someday soon want to build a home of my own, for now, this one is perfect.

I guess I skipped 6

How dare I.

6: I am thankful for my car. Even though it is a ghetto 93 civic with a terrible paint job, it is reliable. I can always count on my car. There aren't many things I can ALWAYS count on

7-11

7: I am thankful for my little nephew, ty. His innocent laughter and bubbly personality bring a. smile to my face when nothing else can.

8: I am thankful for the history channel. it is my once source of education since high school.

9: I am thankful for my job. I have been given an opportunity to work for an amazing company that offers me amazing opportunities to advance in my career. In the short amount of time that I have worked there I have learned so much about myself and about the industry. I cannot wait to see what the future holds.

10: I am thankful for the beatles. Even though Mitchell hates them. I think that the messages they sent are still being spread worldwide, and whenever I feel down, a little nestles pick me up always helps.

11: today, I am thankful for my little sister, nicole. She has had a tough life, and things have not always been easy for her. She is the strongest little sis I know, and I am very impressed with how much she has grown. She is always there when I need a good laugh, and i appreciate her so much for that. Love ya sis!

mambo number 5

#3. I am greatful for ericka richards. I have known her for roughly 9 years, and she has brightened my life in so many ways. She is The greatest friend I could ever ask for and I am so lucky to have her in my life. She cracks me up, pisses me off, says stupid stuff makes me feel. stupid, and sometimes we just want to punani punch each other. But we wouldn't have it any other way. :) love you girl!

#4: I am greatful for my bed. When I came home late, tired and still feeling sick, climbing into my bed was overly comfortable. I slept like an angel.

#5. I am thankful for jeggings. They are fabulous. I hate wearing denim. Its so heavy. Jeggings are joy. :)

giving thanks

To start the year off right, I have made a commitment to myself that every day in 2011 I will write a blog and list one thing that I am greatful for in my life. I do this in hopes that through the hard times in life, this list will bring me back down to earth and help me realize how good I have it. :)


January 1st 2011: today, I am thankful for the rotation of the earth, and the change between night and day that comes with it. Because with each passing day, new opportunities come up, and mistakes fade away.

eventually, it all comes to an end

happy holidays everyone! I am so sorry I have been a blogging slacker! Life comes at you so fast and I am finally able to jump in with both feet and no regrets! I had a wonderful thanksgiving, surrounded by amazing family and friends. Mitch and kurtis came over and played geetar with me and ericka, and I felt so blessed to be surrounded by great people. After thanksgiving, I have kept myself very busy with last minute xmas shopping, work, and the occasional night out to the bar. I have met some amazing people recently, and am so glad I have been able to continue surrounding myself with positive energy and good people. Christmas came so quickly I cannot believe it is already over. It is the first christmas since high school without Reagan, and I thought it was going to be kind of hard. Thankfully, I have been blessed with such an amazing family, and tons of wonderful friends, so I felt only happiness this holiday season. :) my parents are such amazing souls. Like most other families, this year has been a hard one for them, and they are trying their best just to stay afloat. That's why this xmas all I wanted was to be with them. After me intruding on them last august with my unexpected move in, I feel like they have done more than enough for me. In passing, I did mention that someday soon there are two things I want to get for myself. 1 being a new guitar, since I have picked that hobby back up and I am really loving it. And 2 being a bicycle, because I want to exercise more and be a little kid at the same time. Well to my surprise, my parents seriously spoiled me rotten and got me both! The most adorable sea foam green and brown beach cruiser, and a gorgeous left handed acoustic guitar. It has been many years since I have truly cried out of pure joy, and I feel bad for that, but christmas morning, that all changed. I couldn't hold back the tears. I feel so blessed and happy to be back to myself again, and to have such a loving family by my side. And through all my thank yous to them, all they could say was "we are just so glad you are back baby. We missed you" words truly cannot express how much i love my family. And at the end of the day, it has nothing to do with the gifts. The fact that I woke up to a loving family and friends on christmas morning truly meant the world to me. :) the rest of the day was very mellow. Breakfast at grandmas, a nap on the living room floor, drinks with Mitch at kurtis and a late night trip to dennys. All in all, it has been an amazing holiday season. Now as the new year quickly approaches, I cannot tell you how excited i am for a fresh start. 2011 is gonna be amazing, I know it. :)
