Dec. 6th & Just Another Day...

It was a good day today, didn't do much, just hung around, wrapped presents, surfed the 'net and ate myself silly! I went to the Olive Garden last night (by myself) and it was so incredibly yummy and delicious-oh my, and some of the BEST service I've ever had in my LIFE-and that's saying something-of course down here in Vegas, good service and genuinely nice poeple are hard to find. Man, I'm typin' fast, sometimes I think I can type faster than I can think! LOL! Anyway, the food was so delicious at OG last night that I had the rest of it for lunch today-YUMMY!!! I read some magazines and am getting really inspired to write my life story-I've sat down to do it a lot, but you know, time, money, doubt, fear-etc, etc etc...it's really hard (And SCARY) to chase your dreams-but I will, someday, and someday soon that is-I really believe that. My mom and grama are on me everyday to write, and write seriously, write my life story-God it's a big one-and a blessed one, but a tough one-I did write a tiny bit today, but you know, I need more focus. A-ha, Dear God, please grant more focus when it comes to my writing! Amen! Yes, folks, I just typed out a prayer in my blog! LOL! How's that for spiritual! I figured out the other night that religion is what you live, spirituality is what you believe-I'm more spiritual, although I do try and meditate at least daily-sometimes twice! It really is a gift to yourself !So anyway, my grama's up in Oregon, with Henry, looking for her house and my mom and I are finishing up our Christmas preparations-you know, I do love Christmas, but we spend SO much time and energy on ONE SINGLE day of the year-and then Christmas night, when it's all said and done, and over with, it's a little depressing :( especially for me because it's such a let down......my birthday is on the 23rd and so in the span of three days it's bday, xmas eve and xmas-boom, boom, boom-DONE, OVER, GONE, gotta wait ALL year 'itll NEXT December and that kinda sucks-but hey, I get double-double everything! :) Not this year, I really do NOT want ANYTHING-just being able to go home for Christmas and be with my family-in health and happiness with yummy food and a home to return to-that's really enough-I know I KEEP saying that and saying that, but it's so true! I really mean it, it's such a blessing! Mama started her 10 hour shifts today and so I'm not really seeing much of her during the week, but the very awesome thing is she'll have weekends off now F/S/S-she's NEVER had actual WEEKENDS off in my WHOLE entire life-it's gonna be SO cool! This coming weekend we're gonna be SUPER busy, cleaning, grocery shopping, finishing up our xmas shopping, and God knows what else-my mom might be getting three days off now, but that means at least 2 of which will NOT be put to rested use-my mom really has mellowed in her older age-but still, she can run circles around most people I know! It's really somethin'! I'm in awe of her! Anyhow, I'm really looking foward to my birthday-coming to peace with, you know, not being 21 anymore, two weeks and two days and I'll be 22-what's special about 22? 20 cuz you're not a teen anymore, 21 cuz you're finally legal, 23 for me will be my golden bday cuz I'll be 23 on the 23rd-NEXT year (and I'm sure that'll go fast), 24 cuz you're 2 dozen years and 25 cuz you're 1/4 of a century and 5 years from 30...so what makes 22 special? Mmm, I guess ANY age, just like ANY day (a lesson my mama taught me) is/can be special you let it! In numerology, 22 is a HIGHLY spiritual number so maybe I'll grow EVEN more spiritually speaking in the coming year! I think so, at least it's one of my goals. Anyhow, I'm looking foward to dinner and dressing up and all that jazz-SO much fun, I'm so blessed! Tomorrow is Pearl Harbor day and I wrote about that last year, and actually a year ago today was like one of the worst days of my life as far as schooling and boyfriend and family and crap-UH, I'm SOOOOOOOOO MUCH better off NOW-I love my life today, it's just absolutely perfect-well, maybe not perfect, but close enough-it's perfect to me b/c I choose to see it that way! Anyhow, I'm looking foward to seeing everyone in Reno, hopefully the weather will behave and everything will go as planned, although I know that I am exactly where I'm supposed to be every single minute of my life-and for the first time in my life, I have NO clue where I'll be this time NEXT year, not one. I don't know if I'll be working, or going to school or here or in Oregon or what? But you know, I don't care. God will lead the way just as He always has, and I have faith He'll put me where he wants me! That's really all I have to say tonight, not much, more of a ramble-I used "really," way too many times-oh' well, I'm tired! LOL! Hope your holiday season is going well!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

HAPPY HANAKAH!

HAPPY KWANZA!
