intensity

My life is about to start spinning.
I got a list of days that I have free to work throughout the year. HA.
To say the least I will be a busy girl! Similar to the past year, any day off of MCC I will be working at Williams. Which means that my first real day off will be Christmas!
Im excited to an extent, because then the year will zoom past! Ill be too busy to miss BC and too busy to think about my life.
I will just dig deep into the teachings that God has planned out for me this year, and invest all my strength and focus on becoming a more effective leader. woo!
I guess this summer I really began to understand how fast time goes by. Being back out west really made me think, I dont take advantage of my days nearly as much as I should. We really don't know how long we have here on earth, heck I may not see the sun rise tomorrow! And if that is the case, then I want to LIVE today. I want the people that I care about to know that I love them! I want to see as much of the beauty God has created as I can.

On my way home from work today I saw a couple pulled over to the side of the road, the girl was sitting on the ground crying and the boy was standing over her yelling. Obviously in some sort of argument, but the passion that I witnessed was striking. Even the anger and hurt that was being shared between the two of them, you know that there is something else there. Something deep.
We are interesting beings. Our emotions, expierences, we are such complex beings.

This past weekend my mother and I went to see my twin cousins play soccer, and to my surprise within minutes of sitting down, I started to choke up. All I could think what "what the heck!? why do i want to cry?" for some bizarre reason, perhaps I miss playing soccer? or I was super duper proud? reguardless of the reason, I could barely keep the tears from falling down my cheeks.
Humans are strange.

your name and what do you do?

I enjoy meeting new people.
Heck, I just enjoy people! Talking with them, just hanging out and getting to know another human being. It truly makes my heart happy :)
It is awesome to hear some of the trials and victories that people have gone through that have made them who they are today. And it is awesome to be able to cherish that person today.

Take the time to get to know someone new. You never know who is sitting in the same room.

red nails

Im not much of a girly girl, but there is something about having fresh nail polish that makes me feel cute and flirty ;)
I havent felt like this is a long while. I think im going to pull out out my skinny jeans and put away my boy jeans.
It makes me nervous to have this joy bubbling inside, I'm thinking that life is about to turn a corner and I'm not all that positive what lays ahead on the next street.
For now I'll just keep on keeping on.

Plastic

Holy crap!
I just looked at my bank statements... FRICK!
I knew I havent had the best self control over the summer, but I didnt know it was this bad. I am going to cut up my VISA and leave my debit card at home. Im going to bring a bagged lunch to work every day, and my social life will be me hanging out in my backyard with the frogs.
No spending money (unless its gas)
Obviously I understand how hard this is going to be, but somehow I have to! I dont make enough money to support this kind of spending! Nor am I able to actually SAVE any money!

I know and trust that God is my ultimate provider. I do not need to worry that I will go hungry. BUT I also know that God has given me the strength to work my butt off and the self-disicpline to pinch pennies. I have been taught to fight, and I will not give in to the teasing purple pumps, or the mouth watering Grande no-water no-foam Tazo Chai...

I will be strong. I will SAVE MONEY!!!!!!!!!
WOO! :D
