It's been awhile since I've written in this thing, so I thought it time for an update. Life is good....a bit stressful, but good. Right now all my time is spent getting ready for my 2nd degree test, but I feel ready and am not too worried. There's not really a specific stressor in my life, it's just everything and nothing at the same time. My lifesaver has been my nightly e-mail to my VIII's. I feel like we are all in the same room together just making each other smile and laugh. I love them more than I can say. It definitely helps with the stress. Now if only we could get together and sing again....that'd make my soul happy.
Other than that I've just been working on getting settled in my new home. Simba (my kitten) is getting much bigger, and has taken to sleeping on my back and purring at night. I love it. Right now I hear him ripping something up, and I can only imagine what he's gotten into. He's learned how to jump and climb onto things, so it's only a matter of time before my curtains tumble down. Wait till I introduce Chip to the mix :-p.
I have a second interview at Wegmans for a part time job this Friday. Money = good for me to feel less stressed. That and the one thing I miss about being a teller is that I don't get to meet new people everyday anymore. Other than that I love my new job as a loan servicer. It's a lot to learn but I enjoy the challenge.
I've fallen in love with some new music as of late. Frou Frou and One Republic fascinate me and my first paycheck from Wegmans will probably be spent on their cds. I did just come across a very old favorite today though, and so I plan on downloading it off of Itunes asap. It's "True Colors" by Cyndi Lauper. I have been singing this song since I was a little girl. For some reason I have this memory of singing it while swinging on an old brown swing set that was in Amy's (the babysitter I had since I was two, who later became a wonderful friend :)) house. It makes me smile. It's nice to remember those simple, happy memories. As I get older my emotions get so much more complicated, and I just wish I could go swing on that swing set again and sing and feel just plain happy. I wouldn't trade my life for the world though, it's to exciting and has too many great characters, and I want to see what happens next. :)
Peace
"You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow
Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there
And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow"
