Vacation

So my boyfriend and I finally went on a vacation some place other than Myrtle Beach. We went to Wilmington, NC (FINALLY!). I loved it. The town is so eclectic and laid back but so interesting. We toured the river front and the Battle Ship NC. I would love to go back for a week and go on a ghost tour and a ferry ride. It was nice to just spend some time together and enjoy time away. Love those little moments we share.

Thanksgiving and Christmas

As we embark on this wonderful time of feasting and the kickoff of Christmas shopping I cannot help but wonder about a comment one of my friends made about not understanding how people do not like the holiday season. I don't think it is that they do not like it, but rather a lot of people do not have loved ones to share this occasion with, nor do they have money. I know this is a very depressing time of year and a very dangerous one. We have all (myself included) have really forgotten about what this time of year means. So I think we all need to try to find the true feeling of the Spirit.

One Person

It really bothers me how one person can screw up anything! Why do places always cater to the lazy, worthless people? I just wonder why people that work their butt off and they get nothing but stepped on with their heads already in the mud. I just do not understand it. I have seen it all too well from a personal stand point and from other people. I often wondered in school how I worked my butt off and got no where and when I graduated these same people that cheated, lied, never did their work and when they did it was awful, but just got by and they have good jobs never will I understand.

And one bad apple spoils the bunch is oh so true. I have to also ask how one person can come in (new) and just take over an entire place and wrap people around their finger. I stand amazed.

The Loss of a Family Member

We lost our Jack Russell Terrier Andy last month which was like a family member. He was like my furry little brother and I know my mom and dad miss him very much. It is a hard loss to get over or even begin to get over and though we work through it there is always going to be a hole left where they were. It is funny because my mom will find his little hairs embedded in jackets, or sheets, stuff like that and it makes you sad cause if you get rid of those there will not be anymore. I don't know what I will do when they time comes for my cats to pass I will be a ship wreck. Sometimes I think losing a pet is more devastating that a person maybe I am crazy who knows.

It might be a long time before my parents get a new pet, but for sure Andy will never be missed or forgotten.

Happy Cupid Day!

I celebrated my Valentine's early. My hunny bunny and I had ours on Saturday. We never really talked about making any plans becuase we were going out on a date anyways, so I was very shocked when he came to my door with one dozen white and red roses. I felt bad because I made him a card from scratch = ) but he really did like it a lot. I had the best night eventhough we were too tired and full from dinner. {No Valentine's dinner is complete if you do not go to Stefano's (hope I spelled that correctly). So we just went to the mall and walked around, I bought a book of course. It made me so happy to spend that time with him though.

A New Year

Am I ready for a new year? Yes. Something has got to be better than this year; 2010 has pretty much sucked. My family and I lost two close friends, jobs were lost, and maybe our sanity slipped a little bit as well. I am hoping I can stick to my (non) New Years Resolution - I say non because I never keep them so it is just wasted for me to have one. But let's just call it a life plan, or a few items on my bucket list to check off. I need to get rid of the toxicity in my life. This includes getting rid of people that bring me down and make me feel less than a person, or the situations I get into which I could avoid if I just had the gumption to say "No". That is another thing I need to learn to do is say "no". Things would be so much simpler if I could. I always set myself up and keep a pattern - well only I can change it. So we shall see if I keep up with both ends of my bargain. It will give me a chance to get on here anyways. Fingers crossed. = - )

Football

I have to say that I may not understand every single play or reason why a flag is thrown but I love me some football especially Florida Gator football! But this weekend I am going to my first official college football game with my friend and her family. It will be Clemson vs. NC State. I feel like I am cheating on my team lol but luckily they are not in the same conference, and both teams have orange; that makes me feel a little better. I hope to have pictures and updates.
