A new blog.....really....


I know...I know... six months...

I have always been a fan of lists, but I now HAVE to make them to keep track of my crazy life. Purple note cards: school Pink:Toastmasters Green:work Blue:personal events.... These lists are keeping me sane! (the lists and erasable highlighters that is!)

So- in the spirit of lists...here is a list of the top ten observations I have made over the last month or so.

10. I have WAY more willpower than I ever thought that I did. I am finishing up a weight loss detox. It was NOT easy...but SO worth it. 25 lbs gone...and looking forward to doing it again in January.
9.Morals and ethics are NOT a prerequisite for being an adult....end of point.

8. I can ONLY keep my car OR my closet clean...not both at the same time...you choose.

7. Math is one of those things you acquire a taste for as you get older...like beets...or turnips.

6. Singing has become my safety net...I can sing any of my emotions now...and look forward to my lessons every week.

5. Having something to look forward to makes the mundane of day to day living okay. We are taking a trip to NYC in November, just three days, but three shows and lots of regrouping time.

4. Starbucks is STILL the perfect beginning...middle...or end to a day..reward...and comfort food.

3. I may not know what I want to be when I grow up...but I enjoy being an adult. I look at the kids in my classes...watch them make excuses for not turning in their work....or for getting a failing grade....and know I was not meant to go to college right out of high school. I am getting so much more out of my classes now....except the intro to college class...I still think it is ridiculous that I have to take this class. I do NOT want to go to social events..learn how to make new friends....email professors...or figure out how to budget my time...thank you very much!

2. There are no substitutes for having class or being a good person.

1. My friends...both near and far.... are there no matter what happens.....and that is all I need.


I promise I will TRY to update this blog more..... I hope I still have a reader or two;)
