Who I Am

Hello everyone!

I am a 26 year old single woman.  I still live with my parents.  Even though sometimes I despise both of those facts, ultimately those are both choices I have made.  I could have gotten married at 23, believe it out not someone actually proposed to me.  However, I knew I would be settling and that wasn't good enough for me.  There was actually another guy that wanted to marry me as well, again, I knew that would be settling.  And yes, I could move out of my parents house and rent an apartment or buy a house.  But, A. I would not like to live alone.  B.  I'd be over at my parents house all the time anyway.  C. If I'm not paying rent, I can buy shoes.
Apparently these facts make me an "outsider" or "weird' or "not right".  I don't really care.

Also, while I am add it, here's some other facts about me.

I like to buy shoes.  I like to buy lots of shoes.  When I'm feeling bad, I will buy shoes.  I will not buy shoes at Pay-Less.  I will not buy shoes at Target.  Don't shame me for buying shoes.
 I love music.  Mostly I love country music.
 I love musicals.  I love to listen to the soundtracks and pretending I'm in the play.
 I love to sing, but cannot carry a tune in a bucket.
I have read every Twilight book and I am excited about seeing the new movie Friday.  So, what if I'm a dork.
Hippos are my favorite animal, I don't care if they are not cute and cuddly.  Neither am I.  I will trample you like a hippo.
No, I'm not pissed off or sick all the time.  Most of time I'm not talking because I think you are stupid and I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll tell you that.
I have an XBOX 360, that I absolutely never play games on, I watch movies.  Yes I know that's one expensive DVD player.
I like to paint nails, but I also love to pick nail polish off.  It's a vicious cycle. 
I don't like to talk on the phone (refer to #7), just text me.
I will devour french fries, probably before you can say "hey can I have one of those"
I love my job, even though most days it wears me out.
I would rather Junie B. Jones or Fancy Nancy books than any adult book.
People Style Watch is my staple
I don't like Meatloaf (the food). I like Meat Loaf (the singer).
I am compassionate and give people to the benefit of the doubt too much.  I try to find the teeny ounce of good in people.  It's a blessing and a curse.

This is me.  Take me as I am or leave me.  I have spent 26 years turning into the person I am.  I kind of like me, most days.  But I don't really care if you do or not.

Hello, It's me!

Hey!  Remember me?  It's just been a year or two.  I guess I felt like I ran out of things to say.  Or maybe I thought I wasn't interesting.  Then I realized tonight, I missed typing my feelings for the world (or the three people that read my thoughts). Let's see, what has happened.... Nothing interesting I'm sure. I'm 30, that's new. I'm single, that's not. I'm brunette again, but I guess the blog word didn't see the blonde.  I gained all the weight I lost back, so there's that. I have been struggling lately, with just about everything.  Mostly, I am on the single struggle bus.  I have a bus pass and keep chugging along. I guess at this time of year it gets worse; everyone is getting engaged, announcing the are expecting, or starting new relationships.  And while I can rejoice with my friends in their seasons of happiness, I can't help but mourn my season of sadness.  Sometimes the season seems to drag on. I guess wh...

Link Up

Finish The Sentence With Jake & Holly Hey!  I've never done a link up before but I thought, why not.  My page sucks and I'm almost embarrassed to link up and have some really cool "professional" type bloggers look at it, but oh well.  Make fun if you want, I'm a stressed out teacher, that hasn't even had time to blog in ages. Anyways I read these link up things all the time, always wanted to join in the fun.  This one looked fun...so here it goes.  I hope I don't suck.  BTW, I'm such I loser I don't know how to link up right, sorry I'm a failure My happy place... Walking down Broadway in Nashville, TN.  I love all the live music you can hear from every honky tonk.  Or at a musical.... Or at a live concert... Or the beach...  Pretty much if you get my out of the house or work I'm friggin' happy. Whatever happened to... Andrew Keegan.  I may google that later.  (and yes the Full House song popped in my head too...

Let's get some things straight

First thing's first, don't think I will type something every day, I won't. Secondly, apparently some folks think I am not happy.  That is totally not the case.  I know I did at one point in my post last night refer to this point in my life as a "season of sadness".  I did not mean necessarily mean I am sad and you should feel sorry for me (or offer up your advice on finding a man).  This year has sucked.  And it has nothing to do with a man. I am content as I am.  It took me 30 years to like myself and the person I am and I will not start feeling sorry for myself again.  Yes, there are times it would be nice to have a man.  It would be nice to have a relationship, someone to spend time with, and someone to share life with.  However, I know what I want.  I know what I don't.  And I know what I will not settle for. I will not settle for less than what I want or less than what I deserve.  I would rather be alone and unha...
