I am a sugar addict. I crave it and can’t stop thinking about it until I have some. This moment is unbelievably gratifying and satisfying. But then I want more. And whatever is in front of me I will eat until I don’t feel well. Not good. What happened to my will power? This addiction has caused a 7+ pound weight gain in the form of a jelly belly that has go to go away! Yikes!

My pop-pop just recently passed away, which is sad in itself. But unfortunately, I also feel guilt on top of sadness. Because I did not get to talk to him while he was in the hospital. I called once, but never heard back from him, and I never tried him back. I had intended to call back, to send a get well card, to send flowers, etc but along with most things in my life over the last few weeks, that plan fell by the wayside, mainly because of my recent move to a new apartment. I feel selfish, and self absorbed, and wish that I had been a better grand-daughter when it may have meant the most :( I now feel the need to make up for that selfishness, and be a better friend, daughter, and girlfriend. Hopefully, I will get this life stuff right at some point.

Life. Sometimes it stinks.

Week 1: I think and say how much I love my life, the people in it, the place I live it, the activities I fill it with.

Week 2: I finally make the move, after almost 3 years, and sign a lease to move into my own apartment, to live alone, and regain my freedom and independence.

Week 3: I find out that I will most likely be losing my job when my contract ends, at the end of August.

I know that life has ups and downs, but do these hills and valleys really have to be so dramatic?

Maturing

I’m 32 years old. I love various wines, beers, and liquors. I love to go out for drinks at bars, go to alcohol related parties, or simply have drinks at home. However, unlike my 26 year old friends, I appreciate the taste of these drinks, rather than drinking them to get drunk. I appreciate the buzzed feeling that 1 or 2 drinks will give me rather than the drunk feeling that 5 or 6 drinks will give me. I would prefer to spend a quiet evening at home mid-week than go out drinking. I would prefer to go to bed early-ish, waking up for work feeling refreshed rather than hung-over and exhausted.
I have become a grown up. And I’m okay with that.

Note to self: when your toe is hurting because it is smashed up against the front of your boot, it probably means that your boot is too tight.

I love it when tree branches are sagging, heavy with snow.

Horseback riding: is relaxing, like yoga, only outdoors, and on a 1000 pound animal is exhilarating, like riding a bike downhill, but takes my breath away in a way that riding a bike cannot is something that i love to do, something that makes me happy is sadly something that i have had to give up/cut back on, due to a recent pay cut is hopefully something that i can enjoy, even if in brief spurts, throughout my lifetime

How I feel right now. Large. Lazy. And with really dry skin.

I didn’t make a birthday wish this year, but someone must have been reading my mind… Just back from a fun filled birthday weekend, in a picturesque mountainside villa, with a picturesque ice rink in this picturesque village. And 10” of fresh snow certainly helped to make it all the more wonderful. Happy birthday to me!
