Mambo Number Five

Lately I've been suffering a whole lot of moral turmoil and yesterday evening at dinner with the Dominicans I had to face them finally for the first time.  I don't want that to come off like it was a bad thing - it's just something that I have continued to put off for a long time now and yesterday was the day that by the time I went to bed, I was a wreck.  I've made a lot of poor decisions as far as my faith and relationship with God, especially recently.  The thing is, that it's totally my fault.  It's me that's stepped away, it's me that's turned my back, it's me that has been accusatory, it's me that feels guilt and remorse...  At the Dominican's, I felt like I had let them down, that I just turned out to be the biggest disappointment.  Turns out, that was not the case at all and I should have known!  I was welcomed so warmly just like the Prodigal Daughter.  Afterward, I was just so emotional, so desperately needing that God that I had turned my back on.  So I've got to change.  I've got to put in the effort.

And I've got to go to confession.

Had my first official grown up TEA PARTY with my friends last night that was so much fun!!  It was our going away party for A and we all had such a good time.  J can vouch on her blog that candles can be waaay more entertaining than they were probably meant to be....  But we all had a great time!

This is totally random considering the fact that I am not even in any sort of serious relationship, nor am I planning on getting married anytime soon, but I have come to the decision that an open bar at my wedding reception is definitely more important than having a professional photographer...  haha

Very excited to see people getting more into the blogging scene!  I love reading all your guys' blogs.  :)

D and I had our first guest over last night!  C, thanks so much for gracing us with your presence in our new place!  Definitely makes it feel much more like home.

Riding the bus was AWESOME today!!  Only took me 40 minutes from the time I stepped out my front door to when I stepped into work.  Definitely going to be riding more often.

Facebook is f*cking up big time for me today... I dunno what the hell it's problem is, but it's being rude!  haha  Stupid.

Well, I know it's all random, useless info, but I guess I don't really have much to say today.. sorry 'bout that.  Hopefully more will be on my mind tomorrow!

With or Without You

It's official! Spring semester classes are finally over! Woot woot :D Also, I'm already 2 finals down, 2 to go. My last two are both next Tuesday so I plan on waiting til this weekend to start studying...
 
So I have decided that I want to figure out how to use the bus system this summer, and I think I'm going to try it out either tomorrow or Friday. I'm kinda nervous cause I've never used the bus since I've been here, but want to take advantage of it since we get our passes for free and hopefully then I can save some mulah on gas this coming year! So we'll see how it goes.

Alright, now it's time for some FRIENDS and beer to celebrate the end of spring classes! Cheers :)

Take Me To The River

For the first time ever, I am praying that it does not rain today...  It is supposed to rain slash snow for the duration of the week so today is the ONE and ONLY day that I can move my couch!!  *fingers crossed*

Tomorrow is the last day of classes for the semester!!  I can't believe it's already here.  Hell, I can't believe May 1st is on Saturday...  Crazy how fast time flies.

Okay, so this is really lame of me... but I want a bunny rabbit.  haha  I can hardly get through typing that without laughing at myself!  Particularly this lil' guy that I found is for sale.. I think it's just soooo dang cute!!!!!

Aahh I just love it!!  haha  I'm a whacko, I know I know.

Chasing Pavements

Apparently I did something recently that offended a whole group of birds, because this morning when I went out to my car I had TEN fresh bird droppings that all landed on my back window...  WTF birds?!  haha

Woke up in our new place for the first time this morning - Best.  Feeling.  Ever.  Despite being so tired from last week and this weekend, it has actually been a kick-ass day today.  I have my first final in a few hours and I'm really hoping my professor just has a short schpeel and then gives us the exam cause it's only 50 multiple choice so it should take less than 30 minutes and then I can get outta there.  I have a lot to do tonight!!  Well... really it's just more packing/moving and studying for the next final...

I have decided to make it my goal this summer to get to know the city better.  There are so many things that I love here and yet, still so many things that I have not checked out or taken advantage of to where I still feel like I did when I first moved here.  I want to be more fluent in this city!  I want to try new restaurants, see professional sporting events, explore the mountains, hike the trails, swim in the lake, etc. etc.!!  I think it's a great goal, and luckily for me this summer, my job hours should leave plenty of time for the opportunity of getting to know this city.

Chasing Cars

I was writing up notes for a final, switching between writing in all caps or all lower-case for different headings. I learned today that I tend to have a much harder time spelling words correctly when I write in all caps... haha The funny thing is, I only caught it half the time when I was actually writing and just now that I'm reading it over, I'm catching all sorts of errors - but only in all caps. Weird.
