I’m doing my best to look for the best, despite the crap. Today was okay—teaching was hard, mostly due to the fact that students don’t necessarily catch a clue when you say, “I’m having a bad day.” That, and a few rather insensitive comments made it a bit hard to get through the day, but I lived and I hope that tomorrow is easier. There are no real updates right

August 31st, 2009 Well, well, well. This Monday seems to suck a bit more than most, not gonna lie. I wish I had some “miracle” to share with y’all, but we are still in the midst of waiting, waiting, waiting for news. My grandmother was transferred to a hospital with better specialists and treatments for her condition. Her doctors were fairly confident that she will beat this; however, we are still in a August 30th, 2009 I know that we usually keep things light around these parts, but this post is a bit serious and not funny at all. On Friday, I got two of the worst pieces of news I’ve ever received, EVER. First of all, my dad was diagnosed with skin cancer on Friday. As I’ve shared before, my dad and I are incredibly, incredibly close. At this point, we’re in a bit of August 28th, 2009 I have two confessions about things that I hate. First of all, I hate sports. I don’t get them. I have yet to ever comprehend WHYYYYY people spend time watching grown men run around, slamming in to one another and throwing a ball. And you people you get pissed off when your team loses? You confound me. Why? Does it matter? Do you personally get traded to another team or August 28th, 2009 I suppose I should start this post with a disclaimer: I’m not a bathroom talk person. I’ve read the book but on the whole, the topic makes me wildly uncomfortable. Unless I’m talking with Andrew, and then, well…living with someone definitely opens a variety of conversation topics. Anyways. Yesterday, after work, I had to attend a meeting for an extracurricular club I’m in charge of. About halfway through the meeting, August 27th, 2009 Yesterday, I wrote about the amazing book, Style Statement that I read recently. Carrie and Danielle, the authors of the book define your Style Statement this way: Your Style Statement is the two words that define the true you. It’s a touchstone for making more powerful choices in your life – from your wardrobe to your living room, your relationships to your career plans. Your Style Statement is where your essence August 26th, 2009 Once upon a time, there was a girl who loved clothes. She bought, and bought, and bought. At one time, she was ridiculously skinny and then her closet really bulged with a million different outfits and ensembles. Some of it was fun, and some of it was funky. Her closet was full of skirts and dresses, and comfy t-shirts and jeans. Nothing seemed to really match, but it was all August 25th, 2009 So, I’ve been working out. Ummm…it sucks. I pray that one day, I’ll be one of those people, like a friend of mine who said to me a few weeks ago, “I had such a bad day! I hope I have time to run more than my usual 5 miles before I go to yoga!” REALLY? You want to run? Like, want to? I basically hate people like that. When August 25th, 2009 There are some days when I just feel like the world smiles and me, and says, “Amy, today’s gonna be a good day. ” Today I: —Woke up feeling loved, refreshed and grateful after a great night with good friends. —Exchanged a few text messages with my brother, which always makes me happy, since I miss the kid now that he’s all grown up and working and going to college. —Was offered August 24th, 2009 So, by this point in the blog journey, y’all know what I look like, right? You’ve seen how awkward I am? OK, well I have a confession to make that might surprise you. I am obsessed with hip hop. Like, completely and totally obsessed. Sure, my first love will always be unwashed psuedo-hippies with acoustic guitars, but nothing gets me in a good mood like a sick beat and some |
