Where have I been????
I'm okay friends! No fear. I've just been out and about and crazy busy! I've been up to Indy over to East Tennessee, and about to head to NYC for 5 days! MADNESS!
I was packing a few moments ago. Okay, I was ABOUT to pack, then I tried on a dress I was thinking of bringing with me. Then I realized I missed my blog friends :( So, now here I am sitting on my bedroom floor, in a dress, with my laptop FINALLY updating my blog.
I have two things in my suitcase. The dress and THE bra. Oh, god the bra is the worst. It's like its own country. But it holds the girls up!
So, how's life been? Good. Great. Busy. Tiring. I want a nap! But, I have to pack. I turn 27 in 3 days (whoa!) and we're having a birthday dinner tomorrow night.
As for the boy - SB ... he's good. Really good. We'll see how he handles my birthday! Always telling. But in the meantime, it's so good it's freaking me out. I'm not used to being all sappy and silly - well, I mean, I'm normally silly but not about one particular boy. At least not this much. I won't lie to you though - it is scary. I thought I liked him before, but boy oh boy do I like him now. Absolutely crazy about him. It's sick!
I still wonder what the hell I'm doing but right now I don't want anything else. It's a moment by moment day to day don't lose hold of your heart too much kind of thing. I'm staying smart. And smiling like crazy.
Oh and I still have that damn list to take care of ... haha! I've started writing some songs but nothing that grabs hold of me at this point! I'm figuring out what's going on with SB - slowly but surely. And, I'm getting healthier. Time to add in a couple more.
How's everyone else? I need to catch up, don't I?
Miss you madly!

Update: The List and a new place!
I picked up my contacts! Finally, I can check something off. And they've only been ready for over two months!
So, I was out on my evening walk the other day and I found a new spot that I like - a place good for relaxation and contemplation. Everywhere I've lived I've had a place or two like that - just a mini escape. Now, in my new home, I have a few but this one is so simple and just up the street.
We have this community something or other with a tennis and basketball court and two swings. Okay, so it's not that fancy but it's so incredibly peaceful at night. I've been a couple of times and it's been so, so nice.
It's probably not that big of a deal to many people or maybe you have your own place to go to, I don't know. Just sometimes, for me, I need a temporary getaway to think about nothing or to think about everything. And the only thing there that can influence me is ... well, um. Nothing.
What's a girl got to do when she needs to get away? Go ...

Listing Madness
Do you make lists?
I do all the time. I make lists of what I need to do for the day, the weekend. I make grocery lists. I like to write lists of names of people I’d like to invite to a party that I’m not even going to have because I’m never at home. I write lists of things I’d like to accomplish. I have a “bucket list”. I write lists of what I want in life, in a mate. I write lists of goals. I re-write lists that I’ve written. I make lists of things I haven’t said. I have lists of bills/debts that need to be paid off. I wrote a list of things I’d like to do in my new town. I make lists of things I HAVE accomplished. I’ve created lists of habits that I’d like to break. I make lists of EVERYTHING!
I’m crazy.
You might say, “No, you’re not. That is so normal.” Yeah, maybe but see, I never complete any of my lists. Not even my grocery list. It’ll say milk right there at the top but guess what? I get home and then it’s “dammit, how the heck did I forget the milk?” Or the one that’s driving me crazy right now is the fact that I was supposed to pick up my contacts 6 weeks ago and I still haven’t. I’ve been wearing the same pair for two months. Yet, look at my lists and I can guarantee that it was written down at least 4 times.
I write my lists on torn paper, on post it notes, in an e-mail draft, in my notebook with the hearts on it, in a Word document, in the drafts of my text messages, I record lists on my phone’s voice recorder, on the back of a student’s assignment. And now, in my blog.
Again, I’m crazy. :)
So, today I’m making yet another list and I’m sharing it with all of you.
1) Get healthy
2) Pick up contacts
3) Schedule a dentist appointment
4) Figure out what the deal is with SB.
5) Sing on a stage. Some stage, any stage.
6) Make/save some money (this may entail finding a new/additional job)
7) Buy a better recording device
8) Write another song AND put it to some music
9) Go to three of Nashville’s “best spots”
10) Organize – whatever that means.
Okay, so the big question is … what’s a girl gotta do when she makes herself a list? Start crossing stuff off!
I’ll keep you updated!
