You'll certainly hear from me (or at least sense my angry aura) if I read your blog often and you fail to post regularly. However, it has been nearly a month since I have posted something myself and I am feeling quite hypocritical. I blame Chemistry class for my non-posts. Anyway, here's a little something for you to enjoy...
Lately I've been feeling a little bit like Eeyore, walking around with my personal dark cloud looming. Classes, work, and money issues really bring me down. All that aside, I am extremely blessed to be healthy, wealthy (on 3rd world standards...), and loved. I decided I'm going to write about some things that I love and cross my fingers that this optimism will spill over into March.
I love my apartment. I love the comfort of familiarity and a parking space that's (almost) always open. I love hearing Hank meowing at the top of his little lungs from the other room.
I love my job. Overstatement of the century, but in comparison with past employment, this is Cloud 9.
I love my family. My parents are so great and so generous. My sister is the greatest and her offspring are fantastic. I love going to visit a place that feels like home even though it's been 6 1/2 years since I've really lived there.
I love my friends. I am so blessed to have people in my life that realize I'm crazy and love me still. Also people who will tell me when I'm being dumb.. I think everyone should have that. And people who laugh at my jokes.
I love Tom. I'm so lucky to be so well taken care of, pampered, and loved all the time. He does my dishes and takes out my trash and rubs my feet because he knows the things that mean the most to me.
I love my car. It's not a shiny red Mustang anymore, but it's cute and fun and starts every time I turn the key. I also love the extra people/cargo space and you have never seen a bigger glove box, I swear. I highly recommend the Mazda 3. Go to OCmazda.com for more information.
I do not love school. I love that it is not 1850 and I can go to college and learn pretty much whatever I want, should I choose to do so. Chemistry makes me forget that.
I love new experiences. Tommy and I went to an Asian supermarket in the depths of Anaheim in search of egg drop and hot and sour soup. It was like visiting every Asian country and Mexico all in one afternoon.
I love celebrating things, even if they're silly things. Tommy and I celebrated our anniversary with a nice dinner and a round of minigolf. We also celebrate Thursday afternoons when chemistry is over, often with a cocktail.
I love laying in bed knowing there is a whole night of sleep ahead of me and I love waking up well-rested.
I love turkey burgers, pickles, potatoes, pot pies, Dasani water, ice cold Diet Coke and sour things. And Activia yogurt for regularity.
Ahhhh... I feel better now. Happy March tomorrow!

Boy oh boy
Life has changed so much in the last two weeks. I got so used to being on a break from school, and now it's back with a vengeance. That leads me to an edition of Ten on Wednesday.
1. Chemistry class is already more work/homework/stress than any class I've taken in a LONG time. It's starting to remind me of Accounting and we all know how much I adored that. It is Tuesday/Thursday from 9:30-2:30 and by the time 2:30 comes around I'm ready to set off stinkbombs in the stairwells and let the air out of my professor's tires.
2. Tommy and I also are taking Walk/Jog for Fitness on Thursday nights. The class is a pretty good size maybe 30ish people, and we walked a 2 mile loop around the school/neighborhood. This week our 2 mile walk/jog is timed. Oh the excitement.
3. My lovely chem schedule has also taken over my work schedule. I normally work 5 hrs/day Mon-Fri, but with school getting out so late in the afternoon I'm left with significantly less hours of work. I'm not looking forward to the harsh reality that will hit when my paycheck comes.
4. Everyone has covered these bases already, but I have to add my two cents. I can't believe it was 7 years ago that Tyler called me at 6-something AM and said, "You're gonna be an Auntie today!" It was also 5 years ago that I missed Cole's birth because I was trapped in an Accounting exam. When I made it to the hospital, my mom told me not to be alarmed because Cole's blue-ish purple face was completely normal for a newborn. I loved holding them as tiny babies and now love even more watching them grow into full-size people.
5. As April approaches, my second year of living on Waverly Glen is ending. The lease will be up and Allison's nuptials will occur. Much uncertainty is looming. Catie and I can't afford the place without a 3rd roommate and things aren't looking good. We also can't find a decent two bedroom place that is affordable. April is coming very quickly and I'm doing a really good job at pretending it's all not happening.
6. I love Hartley dog. I love her giant ears and weird personality. That's all.
7. Tommy and I celebrate 1 year on Feb 10th. He is so wonderful and he makes my life a better place. We're still working on some sort of getaway/adventure to celebrate. Any ideas are very welcome.
8. I felt like I had to write a blog because I'm bursting at the seams with information, but that apparently is not the case as I can't think of anything else to say! So...
9. I hope everyone is happy and healthy.
