Holy cow!

Hey friends!

I hate that I haven't been able to get a post out for so long. This is my last semester in school (the toughest) and working for a political firm during election season (the busiest) has me running around like crazy! And I got a root canal.... it's been fun!

So as soon as I can get more than 5 hours of sleep, I will definitely post and be back around your blogs. I miss you all :)

For now I'll leave you with what I saw outside my kitchen window last week. The feet were totally still. I was so freaked out! Then the feet (finally!) moved.... it was my landlord working on touching up my apartment!

;)

hey guys!!

So everything is crazy right now. Work is taking me all over the place so I'm in and out of town often. My last semester at the University of South Florida begins later in August. I'm also working on playing catch up with seeing my friends.

My health? Eh.

I'm in constant pain. TMJ- more on that later. Exercise is non-existent. Food is not so good. I really believe the ball is either rolling or stopped. Right now it's not moving, but I'm trying- so many things keep getting in the way! But tomorrow is a new day!

(Why do these "quick" posts get so long???)

The reason I wrote this post was to leave you with a great quote. How about we all slow down and be gentle people for a while? I know I need the reminder every once in a while.

"Make a practice to judge persons and things in the most favorable light at all times, in all circumstances." - St. Vincent de Paul

I love this picture I took Saturday of Clearwater at night.

1. I want to post about so many different things and I will soon. Right now I'm working on a term project (30 slide, 1,000 word PPT... due tomorrow morning, starting right now!).

2. I put the deposit down on my apartment today. I'm not telling anyone or celebrating just yet because...

3. David and I aren't talking. Relationships are tough and it's even tougher figuring out where to compromise. I need someone who cherishes me and will never walk away.

4. Just an hour ago I found out some really saddening news. Something happened and it makes me think about a lot of things because 1. it puts others lives at risk and is illegal and 2. it was kept a secret. A lot to think about.

5. The rain has always been so cleansing in my mind, so I put on my running shoes the second I heard thunder. My mind is so clouded and sad that the rain falling on me was so freeing.

6. While I was walking, a man in my neighborhood offered an umbrella. I love when there's still good in humanity. Or maybe he was a child molester. (You never know.) I'm just going to tell myself he was being nice.

7. I've eaten a lot of cake recently. I live with my family and my little sister bakes a cake every night. I don't like cake too much, but when it smells great, tastes sweet and everyone else is doing it, why the heck not?! I also keep telling myself, "You'll have no cake or junk food in your house in a week, so nothing counts now!" It's my choice, though, and I'm totally aware of that.

8. My new apartment is amazing. Huge windows, original wood floors and a light peach/tan on the walls. It's a 1 bedroom and the rent is a steal!

9. I told you guys about WalkScore before. You enter in an address and it gives you a walkability score based on how close grocery stores, shopping, parks, libraries, etc. are. My home now is a 3. My new home got a score of 88. That's the best score I've seen. My work is 1 mile away; Whole Foods is 2 miles down the road. That's all I need!

I'll be back soon.

This is Sabrina (in a bathing suit) about ready to be thrown into a pool. We're still waiting ont he test results to see if the dog is in fact human. I'll keep you posted. Click picture to enlarge- it's worth it!

p.s.- In case it wasn't obvious, my Challenge (diet and exercise) is put on hold until after I move. I'll do the best I can until then!
