So, I just remembered I had this and I think I want to start using it again.  Why not?

Yes, a picture this sweet is of Amelia and I. I’m blow away!  I feel like I should be a lower body model… or a Kevin James stand in… one of the two.

Not working midnights has allowed for some great times lately-2

Not working midnights has allowed for some great times lately.

So I really feel like I have plenty I could write about right now… back to the golf course, almost done with school, my trip to MP this past weekend, current events, other thoughts, etc…

But all I can think about right now is how much I like Twilight.  I watched the movie a little more than a week ago to see what the hype is about.  I instantly was hooked.  I was so hooked, that I instantly got all four books and started reading them.  Now, not even two weeks later, I am almost done with Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book.  I can’t get over how much I am enjoying this series.  I don’t know what it is, but I could watch the movie over and over (and have been).

I can’t pinpoint exactly what I like about the series so much… I’ve never been big into fantasy/scifi stuff.  I think it is how freakin cool Edward is.  I really like how he dresses.  It reminds me of the brief time that I dressed more preppy and made me miss it.  I have made an effort this week to get back into it.  Dressing like I care about how I look does a lot for my self esteem.  The same fraternity hoodie and random jeans only works for so long.

Also, just an FYI… YES, I know I am a girl for everything said above.

im relaxling in a hot tub in room 331 at the MP Hilton. not much else better. i should put my phone away

I wish June 2010 really meant June 2009.  I don’t want to wait another year to be married.

I wish you could be my BFF (after Jeff)

Oh you know… just texting friends

I needed today.  After a long night of trying to stay awake at work, I decided to “take a union 10.”  For those who don’t understand what I mean, I took the rest of the day off.  I stopped on my way home from work and got a breakfast sandwich from McDonald’s with a milk, came home, slept until 2:00pm, played some NHL ‘09 when I woke up, had some excellent conversation with my family over dinner, took a shower, relaxed with some reading for an hour or so, then left at 11:15pm for work.

I needed this day off.  My crappy schedule, derailed sleeping patterns, work/school load, and the ridiculously inconsistent weather had me in a funk that I couldn’t shake.  On top of all that, up until today, I had been out of my medication and couldn’t seem to stay productive for more than a short time.

When I felt the sun on my face today, saw the clear blue sky, and spent some time outside in shorts and a t shirt, I was reminded that God is always there to give us what we need and we shouldn’t confuse those needs with our wants. Praise!

As a side note, NHL ‘09 for PS3 is an amazing game.  ”Be a Pro” mode is pure greatness.  Although, I don’t understand how my character can go from being ont he 1st defensive pair with Linstrom, win the Stanley Cup, and get a $2million-1 year deal for the next season with Detroit after almost all of the Red Wings greats retire for the 09-‘10 season…  I accepted the one year contract, turning down a similar deal with the L/A/ Kings and continued to start on the first D pairing.  After a month into the season, I was traded to Edmonton.  To quote Jerry Seinfeld, “What is the deal with that?”  I’ve only played two games with the Oilers so far, but I’ve racked up a ton of points.  I even had a four goal game, which is unheard of for an “enforcer defenseman.”  So we’ll see where the season takes me.
