Something clever ...

I've wanted to post for a week now ... not only do I not have anything great or profound to say (I rarely do) -- but I've been so busy! I think the last 7 days have been the busiest 7 days since I moved to St. Louis. That's both good and bad ....

I've started a part-time job ... cleaning and personal assisting for a fairly young, male, business owner about 30 minutes from my house. This is going to be interesting ... to say the least. I can't post too much on here -- I am not sure who will/could read this.

I'm in Kansas as I sit here writing this ... back in Olathe -- I grew up here, which is weird because it definitely does not seem like home. I have thousands upon thousands of memories here and yet -- home isn't here. Pieces of my heart are here (from previous relationships) and because a couple of my best friends live here ... but other than that Olathe, KS is just another place to visit.

I'm looking forward to this visit, however. Hanging out with Valerie tonight for dinner then heading to a good 'ol Royals game with the Manning Family! Tomorrow will be a day of celebrating for Kathie's 25 birthday ... and then back to the real world on Monday!

And then ... something else to look forward to - my parents are coming to visit! YAY.

Let's see if I can think of something clever or wise to say. I've got nothing. But I do want to make the comment about all the season finales coming up -- they all end with someone dying. Goodness, why? I watched Private Practice last night and cried for a good 20 minutes ... and next week Grey's Anatomy will be the same. Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters have someone dying on Sunday night, too! Anyways .... I'm just curious as to why ... that's all.

I have this book on "love" that was sort of recommended to me. I haven't really started it yet but I think it might have a few useful tips. I'll keep you posted.

I guess that's all ... sorry for the uneventful post! More to come.

Recent and Random

Recently I've been unable to sleep in or take naps ... I guess this isn't a bad thing but when I don't sleep well at night anyways it would be nice to sleep in ... at least on a Saturday. On the other hand I seem super productive ... but then I even get bored sometimes (I don't even remember being bored ...) Anyways, I took up jewelry making about a month ago and it only lasted for a week. I bought a lot of beads, made about 10 necklaces and realized I like what I buy better so I guess that was short-lived ... but I know how to do it at least! I just re-read this and it is complete nonsense, sorry! :)

So -- who would've thought ... I'm looking for a part-time job ... at least during the summer! I need/would like to make some extra cash (pets, dental work, car payments, and student loans) have sure taken a toll on the finances ... and one of these days I'd like to buy a place. So, in the meantime I'm looking for a fun, evening and some weekends job. I know what I'd like to do (and what I'd actually stick with) but I'm open to suggestions ... especially any work-from-home suggestions. Got any?

It's May already. Where the heck has time gone? I've been in St. Louis for 8 months ... that's crazy! The month of May has potential though. Spending a weekend in KC to visit 2 best friends ... specifically for one's birthday! My parents will be visiting the 3rd week of May and for Memorial Day I'm hosting a mini "reunion" of friends here in STL! If you want to come up or down or sideways (guess it depends where you live) Memorial Day Weekend let me know ... and I'd be happy to have you! Not sure what we'll do, but good times to be had for sure. At the end of June I'll be traveling down to Savannah to visit some great friends that I miss dearly. Looking forward to the next few months. I was going to go to Cambodia in August, but due to recent health concerns (that aren't as bad as we thought -- and I feel great and my diabetes is SUPER) I won't be going ... not this year!

I'm watching House. I didn't always like this show -- not a fan of jerks (especially on TV) -- one of the main reasons I don't watch Glee ... I really don't like that PE teacher. But... Dr. House's cynicism/hate or whatever he is/does reminded me of something I was taught tonight. "Feelings follow actions" -- Yes, sometimes I don't feel like acting a certain way BUT if I act first the feelings will follow. (Do you follow?) And this all on the topic of "love" -- ahh, the forbidden topic, right Lindsay?

Anyways - a lot of my friends are married, getting married, etc etc ... but I'm ok where I am right now ... content actually. I wasn't always content being single, but I know one of these days prince charming will swoop right in. I wouldn't mind finding a few guys around my age though (it couldn't hurt). I know I seem a bit "fairy tale" sometimes but for me, I kinda think that's how it might be. And in the meantime learning about marriage, how I could be good at relationships, and such is good and surely beneficial. All this to say -- Jesus, send prince charming. Kidding ... I think! Ok - enough nonsense for now. Hugs and kisses.
