Emotions

I was one of the most emotional people on earth this weekend. I just did a big project of scanning old pictures from high school into my Mom's computer and then posting them on my facebook. I will post some of them here too.

I was just remember all the great and crazy things I use to do. I didn't have stupid doctor's appointments or bills to pay. I've had the hardest year of my life and it just makes everything that much more emotional.

I wasn't sad, or mad, or anything. I wouldn't change what my life has become for anything (I mean I could do with a little less illness) but I don't regret any of my decsions. Just missing all the really great times I've had in the past. But that is life I guess and everyone moves on, whether they want to or not.

Forutnately I was able to spend some time with a really good friend, Holly, tonight. She has two boys and they came over and played with my nephew while we visited. She's been such a good friend and I am so lucky to have her. I just hope that I'm being the same kind of friend in return.

Good friends are hard to come by these days. Not that I don't have any good friends. I have many, probably more than I deserve. Sometimes its just so hard to return the favor. Not to mention those times when you are having a bad day, sometimes you want one particular friend, no matter how great other friends are. But when you are longing for that one person, sometimes you find that they aren't there anymore. And that sucks more than anything.

Now I'm crying again....ugh. Enjoy the pictures if they ever get loaded.

It's me.

If you are ever wondering who is reading your blog, checking out your facebook page, or googling your name for cute pictures. It's me. I pretty much have no life.

Blog Action Day 2008

Hi folks, I've gotten in on the action early and have registered for Blog Action Day 2008. It will take place on October 15th and this years topic is poverty.
Seems like this should be an easy one, but with all there is to write, I will have to think long and hard about it. It will give me something to do, in between dreams.

You should get in on the action too. You can sign up at http://blogactionday.org.

Now That's Something You Don't See Everyday

So like I've said, I've been having these wonderful conversations with my nephew Johnny. This week he is participating in Camp Invention, and he is soaking all these great skills up, ie. problem solving, creating.

Yesterday was "bad hair day" but because of his short blond hair there isn't much on that front to make it all so bad. So in the car the conversation turned to my hair. Before he has called my dread locks, funny weird, and crazy. But he never actually knew what they were called. So I explained that my hair style was called dreadlocks.

Without missing a beat he says "Now that's something you don't see everyday."

I suppose I am something you don't see everyday. You (the reader) recognize that in me, or at least I percieve that you do. If I'm lucky, I will always be something you don't see everyday.

Mostly I'm a Mess

So I haven't blogged in a long time. My friend Jim e-mailed me yesterday to say that he had been inspired by me and started his own blog. So I figured I better at least post SOMETHING here if I'm going to be inspiring people.

Mostly I've just been a big medical mess. On paper I'm super healthy. In real life not so much. I have a bunch of appointments coming up soon. So hopefully I will get some answers.

I also go back to school on the 26th. Only trying one class, we will see how it goes. I'm excited to see people again.

I've been writing, so I think I will post some of that. And then maybe, eventually I will post some pictures I have taken recently. But I don't want to get ahead of myself.

I've been spending time in Ithaca NY with my sister and her family. It's been wonderful. It's a great place to be, and I've had the best conversations with my nephew who is five. We get a long great.

Right before I left for here Ryan and I moved into a new apartment in Columbus. I like it, but haven't seen it in awhile. Looking forward to being more in the center of things, but will miss my Delaware friends.

That's about all I can type in one sitting... School should be fun huh?
Stayed tuned for some hopefully good stuff.
