I remember when you said that I was your best friend...

The bluest skies don’t seem so blue
And the stars seem to be a little dimmer too
Now that you’re around you put them all to shame
Let me break it down cause what I’m trying to say is...

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn’t have a clue
I’ve never found anything that makes me feel like I do about...
You.

Got a whole new direction it seems these days
I use to rush off to work and get home late
But now I show up late and rush back home
My priorities are different I can’t leave you alone

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn’t have a clue
I’ve never found anything that makes me feel like I do about...
You.

Girl if you ever get to guessing if I’m thinking bout you
Just remember that:

No one gets me like you when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was but I didn’t have a clue
I’ve never found anything that makes me feel like I do about...
You.

FAVORITE. <3

UGH

To see you when I wake up… is a gift I didn’t think could be real.
To know that you feel the same, as I do, is a three-fold utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can’t explain.
So would I be out of line, if I said… “I miss you.”?
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I’m wasting away.
I know I’ll see you again,
Whether far, or soon…
But I need you to know, that I care…
and I miss you. <3

I'm starting to give exciting names to my to-do lists...

My body hurts. In a good way, but it still hurts. I'm Zumba-ed out. I'm not the most coordinated Zumba dancer in the group, but I'm not the worst either. Holy cow there are some seriously confused people in that class. I feel bad for them because I know how stupid dancing makes me feel.. (WHY CAN'T I GET THIS?! ARGH!) but they seem to enjoy going just as much as I do, so more power to them. I always crack up throughout the first song because I just feel so darn ridiculous. The Wednesday night instructor is pretty impressive, and she likes to do "booty shake" songs... to which every male passerby has to stand and stare at su through the windows. It's pretty embarrassing and super uncomfortable, especially when the creeper men start to dance with us right outside the door. Ugh I swear its like you can just FEEL them watching you. ::ick!::

I accomplished getting a good chunk of my emails cleaned out today! One task half-down... a whole lot more to go.

Tomorrow's pretty busy work-wise as we have a board meeting on Friday... and then its time to kick-off Alissa's Clean It Weekend! Hoozah!

I am now classified as a 30 year old British Spinster. Pre-Mark Darcy

I need a new plan to keep my stress levels in check. I think my cortisol levels are out of control and I'm dealing with stress in all the wrong ways and that's making matters worse. I'm not going to schedule anything for myself this weekend, I've decided. Not socially anyway. I have too much to do. I am going to spend time at the gym, I'm going to deep-clean my room which has been driving me crazy, and I'm going to purge all the crap that I simply do not need. I have errands to take care of, emails to go through, tasks that I've been putting off. I'm going to get myself completely organized and caught up, and I may need a few gym classes and a bottle of wine to pull it off (more if "drink less" wasn't on my list).

So... here's my list

Clean out closet (why do I seriously have a chair in my closet?)

Clean out drawers

Clean/organize crap under my bed (oh my gosh, i've found my "yearbook" from IB)

Clean out bureau (i've honestly been using it as a place to store all junk, and its about to bust)

VACUUM (we have a golden retriever. this is a must.)

Clean out car

Clean out trunk (at least this time it's not because one of my roommates left eggs in there for 3 weeks)

Organize bathroom cubbies (SO MANY BANDAIDS!?)

Clean out medicine cabinet

Clean out emails... (OMGSDKFJ)

Organize documents found in email attachments (OMGAKJSDKFJSD!!!!)

Clean briefcase

Apply for a better paying job

Save $3,000. at least.

Lose 30 pounds.

Stop during-the-week drinking. (So far so good...)

You're allowed to start calling me Bridget Jones.

You really oughta know that I...

am not very good at keeping up with my own Blog posts, but am apparently a miracle worker at writing someone else's.

My boyfriend is hiking the Appalachian Trail for the next 5-6 months and I'm doing pretty well keeping myself busy! I'm actually kind of enjoying this time to myself... but don't tell him that... he may get jealous. :)

These last few weeks have been insanely busy, tonight's the first night in weeks that I've gotten to just REST without having a million things on my mind or to do. I was so tired from it all that yesterday I took a 4 hour nap in the middle of the day, which I never do. It was absolutely glorious.

I tried Summit last Sunday, and I really liked it. I think I'll begin going whether I have someone to go with or not. I need to find my relationship with Jesus again and really strengthen my love for Him, as I have been pretty absent from my side of things lately. Unintentionally, but still true.

Tomorrow I have to work, may make a Body Pump class... (I hope!) and then hopefully tackle the mess that is my ridiculous room. Wednesday more work and a Zumba! class, healthy dinner and sleep. Thursday I get to see Nate and Nicole perform at 55 West for the Florida Music Festival. PUMPED. The FMF is always so much fun. This weekend... we'll see. I think it may be a quiet one which would be incredibly welcomed.

Another random note... I'm so happy that Matt fixed my vent in my bedroom. What used to be a stifling place to sleep is now a cold and wonderful room to snuggle into. Ahhhh to take over the whole bed is a great feeling. Enjoy it while you can!

This week has been crazy.
