Busy Busy!

I realized I haven't posted in like 2 weeks. Geesh, how time flies! I've been keeping busy, though. So I guess that's a good thing!

I went to my friend, Monique's, bridal shower last weekend. It was nice, and one of the biggest showers I've ever been to! Of course, her wedding will be one of the biggest ones I've ever been to, with over 300 guests invited. The shower had about 120 women there! We all received nice gifts, and we each got prizes when our name was pulled out of a basket. The only glitch during the event was when one of her aunts got really sick suddenly, and an ambulance was called. She was brought to the hospital after a while, and Mo told me that she was home by last Tuesday. But I just felt terrible when it happened. She was so upset, and no one seemed to know what to do. But anyhow, it turned out to be ok, which is nice! And the rest of the shower went well.

Last week I spent making some jewelry, exercising, reading, and some cleaning. I didn't have to tutor on Wednesday since the little boy's mother had to bring their cat to the vet. I guess it was really sick. I felt bad, because she sounded upset about it. I hope the cat is ok, but I guess I won't know until this Wednesday.

This weekend was very nice, weather-wise. Well, just very nice in general, too! I went out yesterday to find a gift for my friend, Renee, whose birthday is tomorrow! I think she will like what I got her, but I can't say what it is since she reads this. lol My friend, Erin, also has a birthday this week, so I need to get something for her, too. I plan on going out for St. Patty's Day with her, to celebrate her birthday, too. That'll be fun!

Anyway, I went out last night with Dee. It was one of her friend's birthdays, so they all went out for it. It was an interesting time. I did have fun, but I think I was more tired than I thought I was, so I wasn't in a party mood. Plus, one of the bars had too much smoke from the smoking room coming in, and it drove me nuts. When I went to bed last night, I smelled like smoke, and I think I didn't get much sleep from it. So, I slept quite a bit today. lol But, I'm doing better now, feeling rested!

My sister, Lisa, finally picked out our dresses to wear in the wedding. Mandy and I are going to try them on tomorrow, so we can start an ordering list. Hopefully the other girls in the party will get their orders in asap, since we don't have any time to spare in getting them in. The wedding is at the end of July, and it can take at least 3 months for them to come in. The dress is pretty, and I think I just have to try it on to see exactly how it's going to fit. And it's flowy! I wanted to wear a flowy dress! :)

That's it for now, I suppose. I can't think of anything else to talk about. I need to keep writing more consistently, but I have said that for years when keeping a journal. It comes and goes. So, til next time....

Health Changes

 I finally thought I was making progress with my anxiety that had ramped up again back in November of last year. It's been a very long road of not feeling good, trying to increase the Remeron, trying to learn once again that my life is worth a whole lot of SOMETHING. The tremendous loss of my mom, my grandma, a couple of dear phriends, and the nursing home volunteering put a huge pressure of my value of what my life is supposed to be like. However, I had finally started to turn that around. In June, I was robbed (another story for another time, maybe), and on that day I figured that out, I realized I wasn't anxious at all. I was pumped with adrenaline that whole day since I was so angry, so I thought for sure the anxiety would be back again, but it wasn't. And for at least a month and a half, it's been pretty decent. I've been so thankful for that.  But in the last several weeks, I don't know what has happened to my body, especially my abdominal area, but I have

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in
