Holly-days!

Ok so it has been ALMOST a month,  and I haven't touched a keyboard or thought a thought. I am going to try to keep up again. You bloggers, blow me out of the water! My blog has much improving to do. Today was tragic. I had no sleep last night and then after the 5 day weekend, HAD to drag myself to school. I sound bratty when I say the break wasn't long enough, but it is so hard to go back after that many days off! I had a superb weekend and ate lots of desserts. My apple pie "thingy" was a hit and they devoured it before I could say "hey save a piece for me ".  Ok and Christmas is seriously 26 days away or something close like that! WOW. But our family did put the tree up. No lights or ornaments yet, but this is a big step in the right direction! Tis the season my friends...

no picture needed.

Realization: I have nothing figured out and I like it that way. I have ME to look out for. That is it. No children, husband, or mortgage to pay. Why do I need to spend my time “trying to figure it all out”? I don’t want to figure it out anymore. I am going to let it be and come to me. I like having no strings attached. I am enjoying this moment, because you never know when it will change. These last couple of weeks and all the tragedy and lives lost, has made me think about the relationships that I do not want to lose. Tell someone that you haven’t in awhile, what they mean to you.

YOU can.

Realization: Good things happen to those who wait! Everything seems to me turning around for me. I just got a job offer, at Sapulpa Schools. YEAH, 1^st grade! And, my photography side “thing” is getting started!! I love taking pictures. It is such a fun hobby for me. Happy Tuesday ya’ll J

Jargon

Realization: because I am back to realizations for now. My friend and I were chatting and she gave me a something to write about. Using “foreign words” is so much more exciting. Replacing “our” bye, have a nice trip, and hello; with Chow, bon voyage, and aloha would make life a lot more fun. I think she just really wants a vacation! Nursing school, (any school) can make you feel that way. Foreigners, foreign words, and places are all very exciting in our minds until we travel there. It is a lot of fun to experience their culture and frolic on the beach, but you always want to go home. Which reminds me…I will leaving for a relaxing weekend in Broken Bow tomorrow and then next Friday, driving to Galveston to hop a boat and set sail for Mexico for five days. BIENVIENIDOS AMIGOS!

Photog

I am now official! I have a Facebook page that displays my photography…and I want you and anyone you know to get the word out! You can find me at B. Photography. If you are a friend of mine through FB, you can see the link on my wall. Go look at my pictures and then book a session…I am building a portfolio as we speak, so I will cut you a deal! All the info is on my page and you can message/comment or call me any time.

*On a different note, I have been trying to take a vitamin every day. Making this a habit is so hard. BUT I have remembered 3 straight days now, and I feel better than ever. I’d say this was a great idea on my part. Fall brings on so many cold/flu symptoms. I am over feeling like crap.

decisions, decisions, decisions

I have been failing my 7 readers…I am sorry. I need a new direction for my blog. I had initially started writing a realization every day, but that means I really have to think/pay attention every day to figure out what I learned. Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t always right in front of your face (realizations, I mean). And that means I would have to spend a good part of my 24 hours, thinking about what to write, because they don’t all come that easy. If you have any tips, suggestions, or thoughts as to where my blog should go, please post a comment. I would love to hear from you!

innovate. educate. create.

Dear paper and pencil. I have been neglecting you lately, but this keyboard is just so much more convenient. I am sorry. I will try better. I have been out of school for what…five months and I have forgotten how to add. Last night, I was trying to add up my tip and total line at the restaurant. For some reason, maybe due to the sangria or maybe just because I haven’t had practice lately, I could not figure up my grand total. After a couple counting on my fingers and in my head, tries…I finally came to the conclusion that I am useless. This is why adults, as they get older, lose their minds. They do not continue learning and USING what they learned. I don’t ever want to feel uneducated, like last night, ever again.
