I can haz you?

Dear Rikki.


Come decorate my apartment. There are Goodwill's in Nashville.

K. Thx. Bye

Ps. I own this. It could be yours.

On Wednesdays. We wear pink

Is it regulation to still be drunk the day after Valentines Day?

Well. Thanks Cupid. And the Nashville Predators.

The end

Look At The Baby. Look At The Baby

People like to send me pictures of their baby's.

Baffling.

2+0+1+2 = 5

Welcome back.

I'm currently experiencing a bout of insomnia, which in my case leads to productivity.

I am committing to update this thing more often. Only under the safe assumption that everyone else updates theirs regularly?

I only have 2 major things I want to note and then I'm seriously trying to go to sleep.

1. According to the bible, the year 2012 is a year of favor and New Beginnings. This was supported by the belief that the # 5 represented Gods favor and indicated New Beginnings for all. - if you take the numbers and add them, you'll clearly see the madness behind the method.

2. Reading today, something resonated within me and Ive been challenging myself with it daily:

"Your gifts have been given to you to share....not to be admired".


Take it or leave it, but I liked it.

Blog post 1 - out.

La La La La Laaaaa Warm It Up...

Because its Wednesday. And this makes me laugh every time I read it.

(thanks kADPi22)

Wake me up when September ends....

Its seriously already September??

I don't know whether to cry or rejoice that this summer is FINALLY over. Its been the hardest summer of my entire life, filled with bittersweet moments and the realization that there is a purpose unbeknownest me, that I am intended to fulfill.

I left for Chicago the last time I posted and I shall share some fantastic pictures with you all!
Chicago is one of those city's that you definitely want to explore with your significant other or at least your best friend. It has SO much to offer and its incredible. It was so nice to get away for a week with no agenda but aimless wandering around a new city.
I highly encourage you do this at some point in your life.
Pick a place to go. Don't have an agenda. Bring enough money that you can do whatever you want and just be yourself. You owe it to yourself.

I don't know how to work this blog well when it comes to posting pictures so I didn't know how to make them pretty and not so aggressive. So enjoy or don't enjoy. Whatever.

First thing I did when I got off the plane. Chicago Style Hot Dog and a "312" brew!! I had this twice on my trip. So good. (Rikki, they serve Veggie ones too!)

Look what I found on the boardwalk by the lake! Cornhole. And I played it.

Real Chicago Style Pizza! All others will never compare. Ever.

My hotel. Hotel FEEEEE-Lix. Where they serve all you can drink Mimosa's on Sundays for $20. Yup.

Hugh Hefner eat your heart out.



LEGO LAND! This is all I wanted to do the whole trip was go here. Hi, I'm 7.



Miami Beach or Chicago? Who cares. It was sunny and there was a DJ on the boardwalk.

 

Laying in bed drinking "312" local Chicago Beer and watching the Top 20 Lil Wayne videos.



Me and my travel companion, Drew on our way to eat at Friendship Sushi

 

Drinks on the 95th Floor of the Hancock Building! (building where Chris Farley was found dead. Sad face)

Upon my return, I had to go into hiding for a while so I have been working all over various locations of the state.

Not to mention that when I returned, my travel companion told me he couldn't be friends with me anymore because he had feelings for me that I clearly didn't have for him. He then noted to tell me how I just didn't seem like I would ever be interested in anyone from the way I acted towards guys. Like I just didn't care. So apparently, I have no soul when it comes to dating, men, or relationships in general. Awesome.

I think my problem is I still miss Matt. I miss him every single day. For a few days the whole "Out of Sight/ Out of Mind" mentality works, but something always reminds me of him.

You would think after 4 months of not really speaking to someone and airing out all the feelings, anger, issues, etc. that I wouldn't really care anymore and just be over it. Wrong. You spend 5 years with someone that you don't speak to at all any more. Like it never happened. It doesn't settle well with me, still. I find it baffling that's its September and I feel this way.

Oh well, the heart wants what the heart wants. And it clearly doesn't want anything at the moment but peace.

At least I got this picture sent to me from my office (below). Highest award you can receive on your team every quarter. (every 3 months)

At least my teammates think I have a soul.



Love you all that read this....And Rikki, I've been praying all day for you and Austin.

Now I ain't sayin you's a gold-digga....

Today is D day. (its technically Thursday at 2am. and yes, im still awake)

Off to court I go to protect my safety, my dog, and my life in general from the crazies in this world. One "ORDER OF PROTECTION" please.


After that, I will be packing to go on another vacation until Monday night. This time:

CHIIII CAAA GOOOO.

Home of my personal favorite:

And then on Monday night when I land back in sweet Nashville, I have been invited to have dinner, drinks and watch the BEST reality hot mess ever, Bachelor Pad, with this amazing person and her husband.....True story.

She is the wife of one of my colleagues at Dell and he is seriously one of the most interesting people I have EVER met in my life. He sits directly to my left every single day. And with that, I get exposed to the most eclectic things I've ever known. Its a treat and an honor to get to know them daily.



Be mindful of the following:

"Bad things do happen to good people...."

Romans 8:18
