Seasons

I was watching it rain today and realizing that it is officially Spring. Which made me think of my favorite season and why I like them.

My absolute favorite season is Fall. There is something about this time of year when you can fell the nip in the air what signifies the change from Summer to Fall. It is Baseball Playoff time which is exciting especially if the Chicago Cubs are in the playoffs. The changing of the leaves and the smell of burning leaves is amazing. I am not a big football fan but at this time of year I will watch it with a smile on my face.

I would say that Spring is my second favorite season. It seems like the rain washes away all of the grime and gloom from Winter. The past week it has rained pretty frequently and I notice one thing at this time of year. Once the rain stops everything is brighter the buds of the trees are more noticeable and flowers spring up and add color to the world. This year I seem to be all about getting out. I have been walking daily and just enjoying the change from winter. Maybe that means it went on for to long.

Winter I love not only because we have Thanksgiving and Christmas then but the first few months of snow seem to blanket the world in crystals and with Christmas lights it is simply beautiful. Of course by mid January I am done with it.

Obviously my least favorite season is summer. Which is very odd because I am a huge baseball fan and that is when their season is. The heat drives me crazy. Probably because I have extremly thick curly hair and when it gets humid as it always does in Omaha my hair looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket. No pretty at all.

I don't see how people can live in places with one season such as Flordia and Hawaii that would drive me crazy. I need change even if only for a few months. So as we get into Spring get outside and enjoy the weather.

The End of a Long Day

I live in a world where hopes and dreams have taken a back seat to the harsh reality of the day.
My thoughts keep me grounded but not always in the way you would think. I am the type of person that will always smile, but if you truly looked at me you would see the tear marks running down my face. Tears from the fear and lonliness that swallow me whole and leave gaping wounds where my heart and soul use to be. I hope someday you will truly see the person underneath, until then she will stay hidden behind this happy exterior that everyone including myself prefers. To show my true self means to be vulnerable around people that could hurt me and I just can't do that.

Today has been one of those days you dread. Had to get to work really early and by 9 AM my feet were killing me and I was dragging. As much joy as I get out of my job I also have never been more frustrated as I am some days there. The people are great and make me laugh and smile. My manager on the other hand can drive me crazy. She is a good person but I am not sure she knows how to lead without being overbearing and controlling. There are times I feel like the misunderstood and always in trouble 12 year old with her.

I can say that I am very thankful this week is half over. By Monday I will be done with school for 3 months and believe me that is a load off of my shoulders. Also it will mean I have less than 2 weeks till I see my best friends. We only see each other about once a year but when we get together it is like nothing has changed and we are all crazy 21- year olds that love to go out and dance. They give me something to look forward too.

First One

As you can tell by the title this is my first blog.
I decided to join the world of blogging after a moment of inspiration from my dear friend Holly.
Not exactly sure what I will be writing here.
The name I chose may seem odd to most people but that feels like my life right now utter chaos.

This week has been a crazy one in my life.
Between work, school, and home I am beginning to feel like Gumby the green stretchy character from some TV show in the 80's that people could pull to their heart's content and not break. Oddly enough I feel my breaking point coming on. Luckily some stress will be alleviated next week when I am done with school till the end of August.
