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 t
o 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.

  1. no no tara, you have to go find him! trust me, he won't come to you:)

    have you been reading out of THE BOOK at all? i really do think it has some great great words of wisdom albeit sometimes unrealistic, if we acted so gentle and loving towards those we are in relationships with, life would be easy. the hard part for me is that the other person is not acting the same way, you know? but you didn't really talk about that in this post... just the forbidden topic on "love."

    i want to be content but i don't know if i ever truly have been in my life. that's sad to think, but probably true. sigh :\ love u!!!

  2. Tara- you are a cutie pa tootie.
    Remember create that night ritual for bed...I hear it works not that I am any example. (we never did the relaxation exercises I wanted to show u...shoot! )
    I like house, maybe because he is so messed up and I like analyze him.:)
    I think we can want 'it' to happen naturally but I also think some looking has to be done as well, for that man.
    How come I was not invited to this get together? jkjk
    Linds-I have some long thoughts on contentment, we should iron them out together!

    Love u.

  3. I haven't read "THE BOOK" at all ... well, maybe a few pages but that's it. I might check it out some this week.

    I have thoughts on contement too -- and I think I meant more so than anything that I'm content with being single right now. I struggle with contentment ... something "bigger" or "better" that will make me satisfied (it's false!!) hah.

    And Holls, it was a premature invite ... and of course you should come ... I invited those who live in the midwest (hah). but PLEASE come visit ... now you've got to see my place.

    And darnit about the exercizes!

    Love you both.
