Flashback Friday
When I went to LA to see Andre, we went to this little town on the way back from San Diego and they had little crafts and such and I remember seeing this one in particular and just loving what it said..
” Sometimes we don’t know we have a dream, until we have a dream come true.’
I know I have talked about dreaming bigger, but it is so true. I don’t really have dreams...

Today. Yes.
I had a talk with The Man yesterday about the whole ticking clock and it was good. He is starting a new quest on the career front and we are new and schedules and such… but we both want it to work which is what matters.
Last night the recruiter called and said the company I interviewed over the phone with on Tuesday wants me. She asked me which shift i would prefer and when I could start...
To The Man
Dear The Man,
I know I signed up for this relationship knowing what your ass backwards schedule was, but it is hard. I feel like I am living against the clock each day… there is time for your work (16 hours yesterday), time struggling to try and stay awake for me, time where your body just wins, time to wake up before the sun, time for myself, time for yourself, time to connect…...

Got a good feelin'
So i have been working non stop for a week (that was Mother’s Day and Graduations..) and I am SO GLAD I have today and tomorrow off!
Better yet.. I am being so productive and it is not even 8am!
I have a phone screening at 9 for a job.. a full time one! I was/am skeptical ONLY because of the location… it is 40 min with no traffic, but if i have “normal” hours.. i am...

A moment about fear
This last week, I thought about “fear’ a lot. I wondered why we have it. Why I can be the most rational person, but something about fear can just hold me by the neck at times.
In relationships I think I struggle with it the most. Or at least feel like it is around my neck more. I feel like if i have a fear of heights, I will work on overcoming that in some logical way… like go...
Well Hello There..
Hiya everyone! It is Wednesday and I am finally getting a break to fill you all in on life/ my trip, etc..
Things are going really well. I loved the cruise and the weather was great, which I guess I missed a rainy week in FL- so go me! I am not going to lie, it was emotionally draining being away. I thought that I would have at least access to my email while I was gone and they changed the...

Leaving
I’m heading out today for my birthday cruise with my mom!! I am super excited and we normally go on cruises frequently but haven’t been in two years!
It is slightly bittersweet- I am going to miss The Man, but I know that some missing does people good.. And he feels the same way. He just told me to not go knocking on random doors ;)
He is seriously great. Also, I want to tell...

My Birthday..
Tuesday night’s dinner was AMAZING and the night was even more amazing with The Man. We had some really good talks and we are both at a great point in our lives.
Yesterday was my real birthday day and we were going to go to St Augustine, as i mentioned.. but time-wise it just wasn’t going to be worth the trip to be back in time for bed (the Man needed to be up at midnight for work)

GOOD MORNING
I AM 30!!!!! AHHHH I am so very blessed!
I am going to breakfast with my sis and the baby in a little, then going to St. Augustine with The Man and walking around in the sunshine and see our oldest city! It is beautiful there!
Side note- i am DYING to go get a new phone but trying to wait til tonight or tomorrow morning hahah
So blessed; I have money in the bank, food in my belly, and...
Last day in my 20s wish...
I want to take a nap on a park bench like a homeless person right now; a stylish, fabulous homeless person.
oh i forgot to tell you! So The Man met the fam and my BIL was not there! So thankful! and mom liked him (duh). It was weird actually.. it was POURING down rain and so it made it hard to talk (we were sitting on the back patio) and I was SOOO tired, so i think it was all a blur but it went well and now mom will hush about how she hasn’t met him yet.. :)

So when I was unpacking some boxes, I came across some pictures from 2007.. I truly do not ever remember myself this size. Oddly, even though it was 6 years ago… it was the same weight/ size I was before surgery last year too… so here are some comparisons for you.. (i should wait for birthday dress!)

30 years recap
I figured I would write my birthday post now before going to work rather than trying to make it tomorrow when I will be busy.
When i was a little girl, I never dreamed big enough. I lived in my realist world that I only allowed tv/movies/theatre to touch with any ounce of fantasy. Maybe this is what happens when you grow up without a parent. In some ways without both parents because the one that...

There are these moments in life that I wish I could bottle up and drink on a rainy day and when there is a series of days/ months; a time period, i feel like that time could be bottled up and quench any thirst I may have during a dry spell in life.
These moments can be small.. a cup of coffee alone on a beautiful morning.. a child’s laugh… the smile that tells you so much behind...

Self connected
I am off from work today and I woke up and went to the gym for yoga. I had been to this instructor before but not this gym in years and there was only one other woman there (one more after I got there) but sometimes that is all you need. This morning I just threw on my sports bra, sweats, and a tank and headed out… I actually felt thin today. It has been a VERY long time since that has been...
To my "married" readers
Whether you are married or just in a long term relationship… when do you stop being scared?
I feel like sometimes I let myself go with The Man and then when I am alone with my head I think that it could all just go away. I am sure with time this will get easier, but i feel like a fucking crazy person sometimes. I mean, I am going to pull the hormone card on this one, but still..
I can...
You can't be hateful and grateful at the same...
Today, I would like to make a gratitude list for my own good. I need to focus a little more and shake off all of things that I cannot control.
In no particular order:
My health.Love. My family. My ability to look at the positive things in life. My friends. My heart. Smiling. Food/shelter/clothing. My growth. My ability to grow. My mind. Laughing. Sense of humor. Cooking/baking. My ability to...
Yeah, I actually was thinking about you when I posted this…
I don't want anything
Maybe this is what happens at 30. People are asking me what I would like for my birthday and I just say I have no idea. I mean in years past I may think of things but thinking they were too big to ask for, just said nothing.. but this year.. I mean I have my family, friends, love, food, clothing and a roof over my head… There is nothing else I even want.
It is kind of nice actually. I mean...
Living in Healthy
I am still getting used to a healthy relationship, and i think it is just going to take time… like most things. It is so refreshing. Like lemonade and a cool pool on a hot and humid summer’s day… I want to jump right in.
The Man and I are having fun with our schedules these days and I am not worried about it but I miss seeing him when he is awake honestly. I mean he worked 15...

Aww Bestie, it is okay to ask!! I am a Bartender aka sales associate for a company called Alex and Ani. They are made in the US, eco friendly and made with recycle/reusable material.. not to mention with POSITIVE ENERGY! Some people love the symbols as they are and some people are searching for a meaning and we are a symbol based company. We do a lot of Charity sets and also will have local...
Opening Day!
We opened the store this morning and it was AMAZING! For one, the first minute that it was opened, we went CRAZY and spread positive energy around by running around with each other and we have these huge glass windows and it was just so amazing! I KNOW it sounds insane, but everyone should be able to start their day with that energy (this was just for opening day).
Secondly, it was so awesome...
Been busy and it is only Tuesday!
The Man is on his way over for dinner, I am making Bang Bang Shrimp, garlic/onion/zuchinni, and roasted potatoes. I mean clearly I am worth keeping around… and I already made my choc chip cookies last night.
The roomie got a upper resp infection from her boy, so i think the Man and i will be sleeping at his place.
Store opens tomorrow!!- Really...

Thankful
Sometimes I freeze time in my head. Sometimes I see your face, hear your laugh, see the way you look at me.. and I just pause that clip in time. But there is more.. I add in the reminder of how I feel and how I react. The way my heart actually illuminates when I see your name on my phone, hear your voice and see you smile. The way I know my face reflects the light and you know how I feel. You know...
EEEK signs!!!
So.. I just moved in with my friend Mandi yesterday and she is dating Volunteer Dan, which I met him volunteering and the next weekend he went to the farmers market with us which is when they met and was the same day that I had my first interview with Alex and Ani and BOOM today I got to see the store for the first time and PEOPLE THINGS ARE ALWAYS HAPPENING!!
AHH i love the Universe/God so much...

Big Day
Got done with training yesterday and drove home; was able to get some time in with The Man. He just bought a new motorcycle and it really is very nice! Left there and came home and spent some time with the sis, slept, got up and saw my crazy nephews (Oh i fucking missed them!) and now just applied for some more jobs (gotta keep applying bc work is only PT for now) and now I pack! My Popa and Uncle...

Tomorrow is our last day of training and we got them to switch us to the morning shift so that we can leave around 3 and head home (3 hours away)- all about that!
Things have been good here, went to dinner with most of my co workers tonight, i was the dd and second eldest (and only sober one). Should be fun lol, but they are all really awesome people- they said that they cannot believe I will be...
hahah i thought i went in at 1 today and it is 12!! I am already fucking up and it’s the third day… oye.
Sun cut short, off to shower now lol

.. at the hotel. I do not have to be into work until 1 today, so i figured i would get some sun in the process.. real rough life I live people… real rough.
So i get done here around 6:15 Fri night and then have about a 3 hour drive home and Sat morning my uncle and popa are bringing my bed set from my mom’s house to my new place! and I just need to move my clothes from my sis to...
Tonight I went to dinner and coffee with an old friend from college. Hard to believe it was 7 years ago when we last saw each other, but we picked right up where we left off and I talked about The Man for a good portion of the evening… we were approached by a stranger at Starbucks that just wanted to listen to us interact so that he could “guess” our signs and we let him.. Of...

Day 1 on the job
It wasn’t too bad. The first half I was a little upset because I found out that the girl that got the position I applied for just graduated and worked at Best Buy for the last 4 years and I have about 10 years more experience on her and didn’t get the position and even the PART TIMER in that “management” position was a photographer at the local baby hospital.
I just kinda...
So my job (yes, JOB) sent me to Palm Beach for training this week in the only other FL store. Drove the 3 hours this morning and will be up in a hotel for the week with co workers. Should be an interesting week.
I haven’t been around ‘high end’ individuals for some time, but I can play the part, part time- I believe in Alex and Ani and what they represent. I am not happy with being away from...

Worth the wait.
This man.
I can’t even say that i didn’t know what i was missing until I met him because I always knew exactly what was missing. I knew that someone out there had to be the one that would make it so I knew why all the rest didn’t work out. What it was like to communicate and not cower. To feel together when we are apart and to know that respect for each other goes well beyond...
