up and down and all around...

Life is a roller coaster. (I think that could be a blog just on its own. no more is needed.)

MichMansion
:: Ups and downs- just when I am getting good feelings about something, we come back down. Everything is taking more than I anticipated, more coats of paint, more money, more time, more labor.

:: I know I am not ready for children. I know this for 2 reasons, mom and dad. They give so much to me and David. The sacrifices and work they have put forth just so I have a nice place to live. Do I deserve all this? I mean wow, they love me, they blow me away. I know I don't have that to give to a little person.

:: Work is almost complete on the bathroom, which will mean we can move in! A month almost to the day from when we funded. Not everything will be done but I am just ready to have one home.

:: * We have a stray visitor... a black and white kitty. It is curious about the goings on at MichMansion. I have yet to meet it, but David sees him, usually around 9am.

Other Stuff- as if there is there any
:: I have told the kitties about the move. They are prepared... maybe.

:: David starts school on Monday again. He is done with his core and will be taking all business classes from now on. Although, these two weeks with him not in school have been nice. He runs all my errands. The kid got Fridays off AGAIN! How does he do that?! So jealous.

:: I am learning photography. My friend from work (that sounds insufficient, cause she is so much more than that, she keeps me sane at work, I basically show up to hang out with her.), Melissa, is letting me borrow her old film SLR and lenses. For my birthday she made me this awesome notebook, with lessons and tips!! I have always wanted to be a photog, ever since Leah did it in high school... still trying to be just like her.
I know that I don't have a talent for it. I don't care. My job doesn't tap into my need to be creative. So I have decided to explore my creativity outside of work. So maybe I won't be a artist but I enjoy watercolors and pastels. Maybe I won't be a good photographer, but I enjoy the hunt for a great shot. Maybe I won't be a writer, good or bad, but at least I could release some of the images and lines and poems that constantly stream through my thoughts and clog my brain. I really think I will be happier pursuing some of these things.

:: Health update. Not good. We'll leave it at that.

:: Mini-cation! I am saying it on the blog so we are forced to do it. I can't take another minute. Labor Day weekend we are going to the Hill Country for a couple of days. Nothing special. I think just the La Quinta- I mean free breakfast? that works for David. I need it.


And that is about it.
