Da Birfday Week.

This weekend turned out better than it started, that is for sure. Thursday night I got sick all of a sudden and was down for the count all of Friday. I really wanted to go out with Matt and some of his friends Friday but I couldn’t even move without feeling icky. I made up for it on Saturday. There was a surprise birthday party for his friend Nick that I attended and it was a lot of fun. Everything with Matt is fun though, so that is no surprise that I had a good time. Today being Sunday we did the usual and went and watched the Colts play at Nick’s house. It was fun, although the crowd didn’t seem as enthusiastic. Maybe it was from all of the beer the night before? I think so. Either way it was relaxing…which is exactly what I am doing right now. Listening to a little bit of Bowling for Soup (going to see them in Jan!), watching Monday Night Football and drinking some hot tea. Bliss. I just wish I was cuddled up to a certain someone, but that will have to wait for another night.

I do want to rewind a second. My birthday came Wednesday and Matt brought me downtown and we went to a concert. The Elms, Five for Fighting, Barenaked Ladies and All American Rejects played. It was a hell of a time (Thanks Matt!), except I recommend never seeing All American Rejects in person. They are terrible. We left after a few songs. Thankfully Matt and I were on the same page on that one! Going to have a beer or two was much more enjoyable. I was able to take a really cute picture of him as well. Yes, I will post it whether he likes it or not. :)



This week is going to be busy with Holiday break coming up, but hopefully it will go fast. I am looking forward to going back to Minnesota and seeing family. It will definitely be a welcome break!

I hope everyone (my two readers) have a great week!

Hodgepodge.

Today I feel a rush of emotions rein over me. It really changes with the second to how I am feeling. I am usually not like this. I am usually pretty even tempered, but not today. Today, I feel vulnerable. I feel scared. Wrapped up in all this uncertainty is one steady rock, Matt. He hasn’t been officially mentioned on this blog before so here it goes: Matt is the new man in my life. Although we have known each other for a few years we recently started dating. Being around him has made my life so happy, but I am also so nervous. I trust him 100%, and he does me BUT in any new relationship I worry. I haven’t been in one for years and this is all new to me. I just think this is going to be something special and I don’t want to mess it up.

Matt makes me happy, but what doesn’t make me happy is money. Well, it does, but the lack of it sucks. I just can’t seem to catch up and it is really wearing me down. I didn’t think at 25 (holding on for one more day!) I would still be playing this no money game. When does it end? Can it soon? Please…I will be nice!

Did I mention that I am holding onto 25 for one more day? Yes, it would seem like tomorrow is my 26th birthday. Not a year I am really looking forward to, but Matt is taking me to a concert so that should be fun! Hopefully it will help lift my spirits because I don’t want to be in this funk much longer.

I guess this post has ended up being a hodgepodge of things. I should probably stop by this place more. Don't make fun of me in that picture. I have had a few beers but it is a rare picture with BOTH of us. :)

Giddy.

So, like I said I am kind of giddy. I am happy beyond words, speechless (really Molly, YOU?), content, ready for the future. That is why I post these songs. Enjoy!








Happy. :)

Same Place, New Feeling.

I have kind of neglected this thing lately. I have been thinking about just deleting it because I really don't use it as much as I initially intended to. Oh well, it will stay for now.

I am back in Indiana, and I am completely loving it. When I returned I literally had tears running down my face as I was looking around downtown. I soon remembered why I moved here, why I love it here. It sure is good to be back. Lots has happened since I have been back within these few short weeks. I have a job again at my old school in Carmel (loving seeing the kiddos again), I have a place to live, I have signed up for hockey, and I have decided to go back to school for a new, but intense major. I am going to start spring semester and go back to school for Forensic Science. It is a tough major, but it is calling my name. I am beyond excited. I want to start now, I am tired of waiting and I want to someday have a powerful career. It is exciting.

What is not exciting? Being home today and not being able to move from the couch because I caught this darn flu that has been going around. Icky, just icky. Well, I must admit laying on the couch without an agenda CAN be nice. I am missing the first practice session of hockey tonight, but at least I will most likely be feeling okay for the actual start of the season next week.

That is what is going on in my life. Content.

Funky Town.

I am in a complete funk. I have been for a couple of days. Anything I think or do seems to bite me in the ass. I feel used, lost, confused and all together shitty.


...ah well, such is life.







(I guess not all posts can be happy, right. I deserve one of these?)

Tired, but no sleepy.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh finally I am sitting down for the day. I hear the rumbling of thunder outside and I think my bed is calling my name but here I sit at the computer. It has been raining a bit tonight but I was able to watch all of Paul's game without it getting rained out. He had a really good game and I have enjoyed going to watch them. Quite a few old buddies from high school play on that team and it is great to reconnect.

People keep asking me if I am moving back to Minnesota, and I am fairly certain I am. I miss it here. I want to get my life in order and this is the time to start. There are some things that I need to hold back on and let time tell what will happen and that has been tough for me.

I have been moving nonstop for days, and I love it. I love to feel busy. Tomorrow there isn't much going on though. I might try to hit up Fun Days in North Mankato. Maybe eat some fried food and find a ride that will fall apart on me. Sounds like an enjoyable night!

...okay, I am so tired that I have lost my train of thought. I will write myself a note not to post a blog when I am tired from now on.
