Out of my mind...

I heard this song by Fastball on the way home from Yoga this morning and it sums up what I'm feeling. Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind? How could I have ever been so blind? I was waiting for an indication it was hard to find Don't matter what I say only what I do I never mean to do bad things to you so quiet but i finally woke up if you're sad then it's time you spoke up too.

It's finally here!!!!

Moving Day! I am so happy! We've been waiting and have closed on our first house! Christina and I had to hot-dog bun my mattress to fit it in my car but we got it over and I got to stay there the first night! I'm excited and ecstatic! Woo-hoo!!!!

I love my life...

it's so easy to forget how good I have things sometimes. With the stress of my new job, and the excitement and adrenaline it also brings, with everything that's changed in the last month, I seem to get very caught up in those little everyday things and forget to see the big picture. which is... I have a wonderful mate in Dave, I know mate sounds a little primal and it is, but he has been so supportive lately, I feel very loved and cared about. And Cian, what an amazing kid he is!!! I feel blessed to get the opportunity to be a psuedo-parent/friend to him. He has a place in my life that is so huge, that snuck up on me, and I'm grateful for him. And my other mate, Christina :) She is such an amazing woman, I can't count the number of times I've felt grateful for our friendship and what we do for each other and how she fills in those spaces inside me that need filled. I always hope I do the same for her, but she's stuck around so far, so I'm guessing she gets something good from me too :) I have a house, a car, food, family, work, and enough time and energy(most days) to belly dance and do yoga and be a part of a place that enables others to do the same. I've met many strong and inspiring people who have enriched my life. I get to belly dance with so many creative and fearless women, I'm proud to know them, and get to take part in that adventure. So long blog short,(too late!) I feel so grateful and blessed and humbled by how good my life really is, even and especially, when I don't realize it.

Merry F*****g Christmas

So...I work at Shopko Optical, which is as close to retail as I get anymore (Thank God!). Each year, I become more and more disenchanted with Christmas. Not only do you have to stress out because you don't EVER have enough money or presents for every person you've ever known, (or at least a Christmas card), but you have to endure the thousands of other stressed out people buying gifts they can't afford for people they don't want or need to buy for. So I wonder every year...WHY do we celebrate Christmas? What's the point? Everyone's angry, stressed, tired, no-one REALLY likes Christmas music, and if you do, you haven't spent enough time in the mall for hours and hours on end! Other than religious purposes, why the hell would we want to participate in this truly horrible time of the year, that is supposed to be "The most wonderful time of the year"? So, I'm grinched, I'm jaded, I'm still buying presents like everyone else. Ho, ho, ho, Merry F*****g Christmas!

Miss Personality

Jenna — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 17:43:24 GMT

I just took a personality test, (I don't really know why I did), and the results were a little different than I imagined! I was honest (I think) and it's funny because aggressive, combative, cynical, sarcastic, and controlling(all qualities I suspected I had, but skated over) were all present in the top 10. Along with passionate about friends, family and opinions, wants to lead, and ambitious, it also said I had contradicting behaviors and people would most likely see me as aggressive and argumentative in social situations. If I think back to recent conversations I've had with Christina, it makes me laugh. It's about time I started viewing things like aggressiveness in a more positive light. I don't think I would really like myself if I didn't fight for things, even if sometimes it's the wrong thing!
