Super Saturday...

It's been a busy Saturday. 

I was accepted to my first choice of colleges. Deposits paid, housing application submitted, and I'm officially a Sun Devil.

We had a chess tournament 5 hours away from home and made it back just in time to get dressed for Homecoming dance. 

I must say my little brother was so handsome and such a sweetheart to escort me to Senior Homecoming dance.

We had a great evening dining out and having fun at the dance. It was a great group of friends to chill with. Tradition is to close out the evening at the local diner. 

Its bittersweet to think one part of my life is coming to a close and the next chapter is just beginning. The one person I will truly miss is my little brother. 

Changes...

I’m in a Bowie kind of mood this week. Sorry for the late post today. I was busy making some drastic changes to my appearance yesterday. I’ve had Bowie’s song, “Changes” stuck in my head.

“Strange fascination, fascinating me, Changes are taking the pace, I'm going through”

Very similar to this Shade.

I finally took the plunge and dyed my hair ALL shades of Red! I’m so grateful my Tony has a red/green color blindness and well he’s FAR AWAY! No shocking him!

I’ve needed a change for a while. I didn’t jump off the cliff… I dove head first.

I’m starting to take on an attitude, of “whatever.”  I’m not sure why people feel like they need to be in everybody’s business and have an opinion about everything.

I’m quite content existing at this point. If you want to dye your hair green… more power to you. Whatever makes you happy… I’m there for you. Easy, right? How I wish…

I wish you all could have seen my father’s face when I walked in the door last night. Ah changes… He’s a product of the David Bowie era… CHANGES DAD… CHANGES…

 

Are you...

Have you ever had a conversation with someone and it ended with, "are you trying to make me feel bad?" 

Restless sleep last night thinking has that phrase ever crossed my lips. I hope not and if it has I am truly sorry for making something about me. What a horrible thing to say to a person...

What I believed to be an innocent conversation about a couple of people inquiring if someone was going to be in town, certainly turned into something it was never meant to be. I've rewound the conversation in my head and know there was no malicious intent on my end.

I'm a little weary this morning and feeling sad. I'm beginning to wonder if this person has any idea who am I? 

Words... just words... but certainly something to ponder today. Someone I cherish dearly once told me to surround myself with people who will always have your back, make you feel safe, and never make you feel less than you are. Lots to think about today.

David to the Rescue...

We all have siblings who are near and dear to us. I know there are times you just want to go into a WWF smack down with them... but for the most part they're ALWAYS there and have our backs.

Homecoming 2017 and no date. Go figure my Senior year of High School I should not be in this predicament.

 

Little brother to rescue! I didn’t even have to ask as he approached me and said he would love to escort me. What a cool kid!!!

So, I decided a few weeks ago to ask him as only a sister could…

And…

 

He said…

One of my best friends WHO thought she was going to sit this one out is also coming along. She seems to be in the "I hate Everyone" mood so this was her proposal… So, the 3 of us will have a GREAT time with no stress and great company.

I am so blessed to have very special people in my life. Those who lift me when I am down, who always have my back, and are quick to respond when I’m in need. My little brother is the brightest, kindest, and most generous person I know. Yes, I’m truly blessed.
