A couple of weeks ago, my house was robbed. My fiance and I left to drop the kids off at my parents house. We were gone for an hour and a half at the most. We came back with our Taco Bell, a luxury to us now days, only to open our door and find our entertainment cabinet tipped over with a missing 42 inch LCD.

Is 24 the age of understanding for everyone- or is it just me? I have pondered about my personal quest in life and now at the tender age of 24 I have drawn up my conclusion- I want a do-over!

Give me the personality tests! I want them all! I seriously love these things, especially when they are as accurate as this one. Every single bit of this report is dead on and I am astonished. Search the net for “handwriting analysis” and have fun!

I find it pretty interesting that people assume one man, one president, on political party can change America. That these people we elect into office are our “saviors” and all responsibility rests on their shoulders.

Do you know who you are driving behind? Do you really know who you are driving with? According to FARS, there were 37,248 traffic fatalities in the US in 2007. Are you a safe driver? Can I trust driving next to you? Is it OK if I merge onto the Interstate or are you one of the ones who speeds up to be 1 second early to your destination? Read the rest of this entry »

You aren’t as limited and unnoticed as you think you are. Your actions and your words could possibly affect someone in some way for the rest of their life. People remember the kind things you do as well as the awful.
Freak out!
In freak out on October 19, 2008 at 8:10 am
A thought pops in your head. You start getting scared- terrified. You notice your heart racing and pay close attention to every beat. The more you think, the worse it gets. You can barely breathe and are almost certain you are going to have a heart attack and die. You can’t be at home like this, you need to be monitored at a hospital or you may not make it. You are having a panic attack.

In my honest opinion (at least my opinion at age 24) I don’t believe that maturity comes with age- it comes with wisdom. Wisdom may or may not come with age but aging definitely does not grant you maturity in ~alot~ of cases.
What matters most

How can I *ever* find it in me to be negative when I am surrounded by so much positive everyday? I am in Chicago right now visiting family and I am here for two weeks. I am so missing my family right now. It makes me appreciate what I have just by being away.

Am I the only one that is thrilled to take a personality test? I mean really, these things are so accurate it’s scary. It’s just enlightening to see that I am as unique as I think I am. Wow.

So I am positive not everyone sees me the way I see my own reflection. But I am not just talking about what’s on the surface, I am talking about what’s beyond how you appear. Though I may never win a beauty pageant I know deep inside I love who I am. I like what I see.
No one is your keeper- unless you are <18

So the sad truth that we adults have (hopefully) learned by now, is that no one is guaranteed the life they “desire”. Circumstances are not always going to be in your favor, no one gets their own cheer leading squad rooting them on as the walk their own path in life, sometimes we seriously just gotta do what we gotta do. Ladies, when you have kids, please tighten up. This is another post where I am preaching to myself. To all the mommies out there, this is a must read.

If everyone knew exactly what it took to control their own thoughts and the outcome of those thoughts, a lot of people would be out of a job….

Breaking up is a bitch but if you live in fantasy land for too long it will suck even more. As I type this blog, I’m preaching to myself here, too.

I can appreciate a good storm. It reminds me that I am still alive. If the sun were always shining, how could you ever appreciate it? If there were never struggles to overcome, what would the purpose in life be? Sometimes you have to look beyond the surface to find the answer.

“Life is a kind of Chess, with struggle, competition, good and ill events”

I must thank my Fiance for introducing me to this game. I always looked at it as a “nerdy” type of game. To me, it just looked like Checkers with fancier pieces.
When I grow up

Wow. How do I even begin to write this? Just the mere thought of my childhood makes me zone out in a daze and want to obsessively search 80’s cartoons on You Tube! For a while I thought it was just the 80’s and 90’s. They had to be the coolest decades in history. Now that I have kids I see that the innocense of childhood is nothing short of magical.

Kids are in your future. Proceed with caution!

Man life would be so much easier if there were danger signs EVERYWHERE. Ya know, letting you know in advance that you are in for a ride if you proceed? BIG RED SCARY danger signs.
What is an example, you may ask? HA! Parenting. Yeah. There should have been danger signs tatted on like every single mom I ever came in contact with. *I* happened to be one of those educated “bystanders” that thought the job was simple.

Damn I love oldies. It’s crazy how things change because I swear it was only yesterday I sat in the backseat of my parent’s beat up Dodge Caravan ducking for cover while my mom blared The Temptations past all of my neighborhood friends. But over time I have grown a respect for it and actually a huge desire to listen to it….constantly.
