funny what stalking a person can do...

So I had a crush (like, a mega-crush) on a particular dude. I was seriously falling hard. And fast. I was frustrated and annoyed at myself but I couldn't help my attraction. Everything about him was irresistible. His face, his gorgeous blue eyes, his beard, his manliness. Everything. Then I looked at his Facebook profile.

There have been some times in my life where it's been really difficult not to get stuck in a rut. I think right now is one of those times. I got sick. A silly little eye infection that turned into a somewhat serious eye infection and a little cold. But it was an excuse to stay in bed! Really, it was the perfect excuse: a great reason to lie there, all day, watching episode after episode of Psych and Drop Dead Diva. I think that it's been good for me. I needed a little break. Though it hasn't been a week on the beach in The Bahamas, it's been a break nonetheless. The problem is, I don't ever want to get up again. Yes. I've watched way too much TV and my diet of Cheez-its and NyQuil will not sustain me long. However, I'm losing motivation to get up. My bed is so comfortable and the dark red curtain over my bedroom window hides from me the truth of daylight. I'll get up eventually, however... There is work to be done and Nutella to be eaten.  Toodle-oo!

Moving day

Moving is kind of sad. I hate saying goodbye to all of my friends and having to leave whatever awesome life I've created. Moving this time has been especially hard because I'm leaving the Wathens who have been my family for a year now. Well, we've always been family. But, living with them has brought us so much closer. Even though moving is sad, it's awesome too. There's something exhilarating about going to a new place where you hardly know anyone and where you get to start all over with everything. So on to the next new adventure!! Hoorah!

Strumming to the beat of my heart

Guys! I found a new love. One of my good friends is an incredible musician and on Friday night he started teaching me some basics on the guitar. He let me borrow his electric guitar for the week and I can't put it down! I'm smack in the middle of finals but all I want to do is play. I practiced for four hours straight yesterday... I think I'm going to need to buy myself a guitar so I can keep practicing all summer! I'm really excited. Learning to the play the guitar has always been one of my goals but I always decided it was too hard. But I'm learning to live my dreams! Hooray for music!

P.S. Happy Monday. Mondays are always hard. Someone should tell you they're happy!

Summer!!!!

It's finally warming up in these parts. This past winter has been brutal but the weather is finally getting better. It's time for early morning runs, afternoons by the pool, and evenings spent by the fire. I love summer! It's the best time to go on an adventure! I have soooo many adventures planned for this summer. Do you? I hope so! Everyone deserves (and needs) a healthy adventure every now and then. Happy summer! It's finally here.

If you need ideas for some awesome summer adventures, check out my summer bucket list!

drinkin' away my troubles

Man. You know those days? The ones where everything goes wrong and you feel like screaming, crying, kissing, and and screaming some more? Today is one of those days. I might go crazy with all the ridiculousness happening in my head right now. Thank goodness for good music and for the gospel and for vanilla Coke. I think with the help of those three things, I'll still be alive tomorrow.
