I absolutely love road trips by myself. The perfect road trip starts with the sun shining and a cold breeze so I don’t need my AC. I like my window down, rotating the same 4 cd’s and wearing flip flops. On the second half of my trip it will be dark and cold outside so I blast the heater on my feet. I am fascinated at the way other people live so I make it a point to stop in the small towns for gas instead of the busy station that’s right off the highway and hopefully I will see something great and different from what I am use to. When I am driving I like to check out the scenery and then decide if it would make a pretty painting. I don’t even like paintings that are fields and sky but if I would hang it on my wall of my non existent house then that’s how I know it’s beautiful. Some of my favorite things to do can be done on a road trip. 1. Listening to my music and trying to relate it to my life past and present then once I realize I’m daydreaming I start the song over. It takes me putting the song on repeat about 4 times before I will give it my full attention. 2. Having a purpose to be outside. I love to be outside and wish the world had more benches. 3. Time to dwell and justifies me trying to OD on caffeine. The entire experience makes me smile.

A few days off and now the idea of waking up super early isn’t exactly what I have in mind. Don’t get me wrong I love love love my job but, I decided to get up and going around 11 am everyday since the break. Monday CB came into town and we had such a great time. Lunches, dinners, movies, amazing conversation, it was so fun to spend time with someone new and exciting. He left Thursday and time to give Taylor (my best friend) all the details. We went shopping, tanning, lunching, picked up some wine and then after a few drinks, called it a night. Friday played out much like Thursday. Over these past few days I was able to mend a friendship with one of my oldest friends Jennifer. She and I met when we were in 5th grade. We have had our ups and downs but over the past few years we have really gotten a lot closer. A few months ago I started missing more and more phone calls. You know when you avoid something for so long the best thing to do is keep avoiding it because there isn’t any excuse other than sorry I’m a jerk. That’s pretty much what I had done. So I owned up to it and invited Jen over for a glass of wine and a much deserved apology. I told her I was so sorry for being self involved and it was my fault our friendship was becoming distant. Jen told me all she needed was to hear me say that, to hear me say I was sorry and to hear me admit it. I feel so much better. The guilt was gone and now we are playing catch up. Friday night was the eve of Tay Swans birthday and that meant GIRLS NIGHT OUT!!! I am so bad about starting a blog and then not finishing it right away. I blame my ADD and the fact that I am not a very good writer so it becomes discouraging. So here I am 3 days later adding to it. Monday was pretty boring after work. Tuesday at work I got extremely upset. Im not sure exactly why I mean there were some pretty hateful things people said but I usually brush it off. Well on that day I was extra sensitive and I guess I was having a girl moment I mean I am only human. It’s one thing to have a person every now and then be hateful or rude but 10 times a day is sometimes hard to swallow. I am not playing a victim by any means I expected it to an extent but until your living it you don’t realize how much it can put you down. It was so sweet Dianthe came in the studio and really helped my spirits. (along with everyone else) Wednesday well I am feeling so much better. I after almost burning down the kitchen on Monday night due to a faulty microwave cooked Subway 2 times brunch and an early dinner YUMMY! I took my usual nap then Tay came over and we went to tan then Starbucks. In the middle of all this Tay S. and her boyfriend got into a huge fight. He saw a picture of her and one of our guy friends on her birthday he was sticking his tongue out next to her face when she wasn’t looking and he (tay’s man) took that then his jealous personality and thought T was cheating. I mean come on! Well there break up lasted about a hour. LOL She is greatness and he means well but he is very possessive and I do think that could be the very thing to push her farther away. In relationships if you don’t trust someone then there really can’t be happiness. I also see how they were fighting and the way I use to fight with my ex and it seems the more comfortable you get the less you respect the other person. It’s easier to fight below the belt and the more you know about each other the more likely you will throw more personal jabs at each other. I am scared of that happening to me again. I mean I love Love but I am definitely scared to put myself way out there. I have recently met someone who is changing every negative thought I have had. I haven't been this happy in...EVER! =) Well I have to try and get some sleep tonight so until next time. XOXO
