I am going to try and make a better effort at updating my blog.

But really, I don't find myself all that interesting.

I colored my hair today Its dark brown with red streaks again. Yippie! I think I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
I've been doing a decent job at keeping up with my walking. 10 miles a week! Today I actually went to the gym I'm feeling a bit proud of myself. I went with a friend and it makes it sooo much easier but we don't have very compatible schedules. However, my friend CJ has said he'd go with me to the gym in the morning. Hopefully it'll really pan out. I NEED someone to do it with me. The reason I've been so successful at keeping with my walking routine is because I go with my neighbor.

I wonder how much weight I could lose by my birthday... maybe 15-20 lbs. That would be a great birthday gift to myself and a good reason to buy some new clothes!

Anyhow, things have been going okay. Poor omeganightmare has been pretty darn sick I think he's finally getting a bit better.

On Thursday, the little girl that I watch will be staying the night with me and Jaybo. That will be interesting but I think it will go fine.

I am looking forward to the 4th of July. I have no idea what were doing... but at the least I think we'll go to the little Penngrove parade.

I'm back in school! It's going well but I do need to make a schedule to stick to. I really think I could finish my bachelors in the next year if I buckle down. Then i'd like to go through a TEFL certification program.
I'd love to travel... maybe even live out of country for a bit but I just don't know how realistic that will ever be. I know Jay can't really just leave his job and I can't be away from him for long. However, I'm not going to count it out... we never know what the future may hold.

Jay and I haven't kept in contact as much as I'd like with our old roomies. I mean, I know it's just part of life and I'm a real busy girl. Sadly, I think that it's only going to be more difficult to hang out with them soon. They're having a baby! Which I am very excited about but babies also take lots of time.
Atleast Toez will be on Maternity leave for a bit and maybe I can just go see her anytime of day... especially when Jay is gone at work.

It seems as though lots of people are getting married and having babies. I guess it's part of getting older but it's really screwing with my internal clock. I am wanting to get married like crazy... kids... not so much.
I've been looking at wedding dresses, cakes, locations etc... even though I know marriage is at least 2-3 years away. Damn Say Yes to the Dress. Guh, I love that show. I know I need to stop thinking about it and focus on school and paying off my debt.

I have been feeling a bit more ambitious lately. Or maybe its stemming from restlessness. I don't know. But I came to an important realization. I have not lost my Passion. It's just changed.

I've been thinking a lot. I think one reason is because of the chats I've been having with my neighbor. She's the one that walks 10 miles a week with me... shes in her 60's, fit, yoga teacher, and a true hippie. She lived in communes and named her daughter Love. Seriously. Neat lady. We talk about everything... deep stuff and since we both have psychology backgrounds... we don't just talk about it, we analyze it. And then I continue to analyze things. It's difficult being a fairly self-actualized person.

Theres also been a lot of interesting, sad and shocking things going on in the lives of friends.
I should have time in July to see some of these friends and take a trip to my home town. I miss my family.

Shucks, this is getting real long eh?

Lets chat again soon, k?
