Wow a good first date was had last night. Nothing fancy just two people sitting at an outdoor bar talking. We has so much in common and just kept talking.. 3 hours later we only stopped talking due to we both had other commitments. Cannot wait to see if this progresses.
I also have a few more in the pipeline.. I swear it is feast or famine.. but hey at least I am happy.... no matter what life throws my way :)

Day 60
I have had such an emotional week. Last week I left for vacation to one of my favorite places in the world New Orleans, LA. Now some people have no love for this amazing city. They do not appreciate how versatile the city is, all of the secrets the city keeps and the amazing history that lies in it's buildings and streets. But me I LOVE IT! i could stay lost in the streets of the French Qtr for days, I could sit along the river and paint different scenes. I adore this city.
During the day, the city slowly wakes up. I get up early, do my normal work out, then head out to walk the French Quarter. I love the French Quarter first thing in the morning, when the streets are like a ghost town and still filled with the stench of pee and booze. When you can see the random person who is still awake from the previous nights festivities and look like they have been rode hard and put up wet. The colors of the buildings become brighter as the sun bounces off them. No building is the same. Some are older, some are brighter, some are newer, some are in desperate need of repairs, some just were repaired. The city has this magical feel. As the day moves on, the streets are cleaned, people fill the streets and sidewalks. The bustle is that of New york city. Tons of people everywhere. The food is amazing. But nothing beats the night time craze that is bourbon street. So many people that you cannot even move some nights. People pushing others, falling down from their debauchery activities. HMMMMM i do love NOLA!
So as i head to one of my fave cities. I stopped to see my friend EG. He is a sweet man who is someone I have always compared others too. I thought our meeting would go much differently. He has been emailing for a few months and was really excited for me to come see him. Or so i thought. But I get there and did not get the throw me against the wall and kiss me reaction I had dreamed up in my head (my dreams are always so much better than my reality). We had a great morning, we cuddled in his chair and watched a movie. We went to lunch at this yummy place, then we came back home and napped while watching tv. I was curled up in his arms. It was nice, comfy but no passion. I left there and headed to NOLA for my BFF's wedding. Oh the fun that was had.
We did cheesy ghost tours, laughed a lot, played in the french qtr and warehouse district, ate amazing food, pissed off a bridesmaid and almost had to cut her dress (another story for another time, danced danced danced, found "lost" friends, partied with my miami friends, made a new crush (a little Cajun boy.. oh so cute and such a gentleman, watched my BFF get married and danced to the 2nd line down bourbon street. I rode in a horse drawn carriage for the first time and fell back in love with NOLA and all the history and magic the place produces. I can honestly say it was one of the most fun weekends I have ever had and hands down most fun wedding ever.
Lots of memories made this weekend that will last a life time!

Day 58
Today started out perfectly. I woke up, i worked out, I hung out with my kitties on the front porch and watched the sun rise. Came up with my thought for the day:
Watch a sunrise or sunset. Take in the beauty and enjoy the calmness that surrounds you. During the stressful parts of your day, let that calmness sweep over you by closing your eyes and remembering the sunrise/set!
Then came to work. Had an informative but LONG meeting, which set me behind for the day, thought I pushed through. I then got some not so great news, still pushed through, dealt with annoying changes and wanting to not be nice to people, pushed through, was not invited to someone's birthday celebration who i adore.. (neither were others) and felt like I was back in the 2nd grade sitting alone for lunch. I am sure it was not intentionally, just rather not nice to not invite the entire office of 13 people to another persons birthday celebration. I pushed through, until I got in the car, then i cried a little and pushed through that to find the perfect frame for my gift for my friend C. Super excited to get home and put it all together.
I am proud I am smiling right now, because I pushed through today. if you try hard enough, you really can keep other from effecting your mood. Now did I succeed the entire day... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but i was able to catch it when my mood changed or a bad thought was creeping in and was able to think positively. I am training myself and before long it will just happen naturally! I am glad I constantly strive to be a better person. I hope others can see that and if they cannot, then I do not want them in my life! Life it too shot.. push through the bad and find the good!

Day 57
I had a very fun weekend. I enjoyed lots of laughs with some very good friends.
We are always changing and evolving. The person you were yesterday is not the same person you are today. I went to a very lovely babyshower yesterday. But one thing I found humorous was the young girls (25ish) who were whining that they were not married and would be old moms. It was comical to me, as these same ladies are always up for a party or another drink. I think they forget that you cannot do that with kids or you need to find a babysitter. And as much as grandparents want to keep those precious bundles... they do not like being taken advantage of. I may not have gotten married young.. or had kids yet. But if I do at least I had my days of partying. I can close the door on that chapter knowing I lived it to my fullest. I can focus fully on my next chapter without reverting back, because oh is it easy to revert back.
I am going to keep looking forward.. keep moving forward. I am glad I am no longer that same girl that I saw a room full of yesterday. I would not have made a good mom back then. I was too selfish and all about the fun and being a mom is not always fun. Plus learning on my animals and by babysitting for some fabulous moms (and not so fabulous) has helped me realized how i need to be as a mom, if I ever get the chance to be one.

Day 56
Girls are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Some boys don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right boy to come along, the one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Day 55
My dog ate my remote to my t.v. Just when I thought he was being such a good boy.. he ate the remote to my t.v. His best friend Bailey loves my shoes and now my precious baby ate my remote.. but lucky for him. I found that comcast posted "how to find your remote code easily" and was able to sync my cable remote to my tv thereby no longer needed the mangled t.v remote.
