Lucky

Since its St. Patty's Day and in an effort be more positive, I've decided to write a happy post! :) This morning on my extremely long 1.5 mile commute to work I was listening to Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliet's new duet Lucky. Its a really sweet song, that of course I love and Cal hates. I mean he likes it better than Love Story by Taylor Swift but that is not saying much. Man, the big guy has a low tolerance for anything geared at tweens! Maybe its a good thing we aren't just quite living together yet so that I can enjoy all the Hannah Montana episodes I want. Sometimes I wonder how Cal will be able to watch Gossip Girls but I think as long as we compromise we will figure it out, oh and buy two TVs. Living together is something we are really looking forward to. On Sundays when one of us leaves its hard to find yourself again but I know that eventually we will be together and rewarded for being responsible. Anyways the song talks about how they are lucky to be in love as best friends, to be where they have been, and lucky to be coming home. Well that is sort of what has happened to us and we are lucky too. I learned so much about myself in Washington, and I really learned how to take care of myself. And I also realized how important Cal is and how excited I am for our future. We have both worked hard to build a good life and as soon as the economy is ready for us, we will be ready for it!!

Additional reasons I'm lucky: I get to have two wonderful couples over for dinner this evening. I'm sure it will be an eventful and laughter filled evening, which is just what I need. AND this weekend, I get to see a dear friend, Lori and Taylor Swift! It will be good to see her and of course, Taylor and her sparkly guitar. I'm such a sucker.

Save It For a Rainy Day

Today, I've been listening to the Jayhawks's "Save it for a rainy day". Its a wonderful song, although it makes me a little sad. I've had a sad day today. The weather is dreary, work is a little slow, and I haven't seen Cal in about ten days. I'm constantly reminded of the awful times we are facing, and I hate how I've been someone directly affected. This was supposed to be Cal and I's time to move forward and start our lives together. I really thought we deserved this, but instead we are still in this weird stage, not in the same city, I don't have a job in Houston and no Clunkers. Things just can't seem to go our way. Most days I can talk myself out of the my negative pants, but today, as I listen to sad, dreary music I can't feel anxious to get a move on.

However, on a positive note. I'm currently reading the Time Traveler's Wife. I often find, when I can't see Cal, a book makes me feel better. I just love reading and escaping my thoughts and becoming consumed in this fictional world. From a psychology perspective, that doesn't sound very healthy. Oh well! It works. Its especially nice, when my little pico curls up on my lap and together we snuggle while I read.

Hello!

So I've decided to create a blog. I truly enjoy reading my friends blog so I thought I would give it a shot. I'm extremely aware that all of my posts will be filled with typos and grammatical errors but I'm hoping that if you read this, you love me already. I feel lucky that my friends have wonderful blogs. Lauren posts all the time with quotes and animals that brighten my day. Sarah gives us the real prespective of being a puppy owner. KC's is cute, but she should write more.

I hope this blog can be a way for me to write down whats going on with me and Cal and our trials of getting to the same city.
