Having one of those days...

UGH. Kansas has the most bi-polar weather I've ever seen. Two days ago it is as sunny as can be, and i want to just go running through fields of flowers, and today there is rain the size of cows, thunder that shakes the house, and lightning that lights up the crazy dark sky. I am from sunny california so this new weather is something completely new to me. All I know is it is going to take some getting used to. Is it just me, or are rainy days just an invitation from mother nature to be lazy? I think so!
I will say that the one thing rain does do is makes me sleep a lot better. Can't complain too much cause that is a huge benefit- good sleep. :) Sometimes I wish I could go back into time and take back all the times I didn't want to take a nap when I was younger.


I didn't mention this in my last post but I got my nose pierced!
It's sort of a big deal to me because for the last two and a half years I have been apart of something that looks down on stuff like this so I had to really ask myself if I wanted what I thought I had the past couple of years. After a lot of thinking and pondering I've finally accepted that I don't need anything other than myself to be happy. No need for a group of people to tell me what I need to do (or not do). Letting go of that nonsense has really made me a whole lot happier, and I am enjoying my life a lot better now. So, with that said....I celebrated with a piercing and some other fun stuff :)

I think everyone should go try a banana split from Ben and Jerry's. It packs like calories enough for several days... but just try not to think about it. I treat myself to one once a month....Let me know what you think of it if you ever try one. Random thought, I know. Just thought I would share the love!!

Wow. It's been forever since I updated this thing. It's crazy how fast time flies when you are engaged in a productive (or not so productive) task almost every second of the day. It's been almost two months since I made the decision to move to Kansas, and so far it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made, really. As cheesy as it may sound, I don't think I have ever felt so confident and happy in what I am doing and the the direction I am headed in a very long time. Of course I miss my grandma and close friends.. but hey...distance just makes the heart grow fonder.
I am going to be getting back into the swing of school and such in the fall, and I'm pretty stoked for it. I have been out of school for a year now and I feel like it is the best thing I could have done. in the year I have been out I have really learned so much about myself, and what I want to do with my life. I have a purpose, a method to my madness. Now that I think I know what I want, hopefully I will save some of my hard earned money, and my valuable time. I say "think" because, hey, you never know when things in your life may change. Hopefully I can adjust to change as it comes into my life, because I know it is inevitable. I've shunned change my whole life because I like feeling comfortable. But I am beginning to see that fear of change because you might not be comfortable is really just hindering you from possibly the best opportunity you could ever have... and is ultimately just laziness. So, I'm really trying to embrace any sort of change that this life has to throw at me.

Hmm..what else has happened since I last blogged? Nothing too extravagant, really. I talked to my mom on the phone after almost two months of not talking. It felt cool to talk to her, and to hear her voice. She is my mother and I'm sure that bond will always be there... so I'm fine talking to her. Like I said earlier, distance does make the heart grow fonder. Maybe some relationships are meant to be long distance? Haha.

Well, I hate to cut this post so short but I have American Idol to watch. So, until next time....ADIOS!!
