*Oh the weather outside is frightful... but, the fire is so delightful. And, since we've no place to go... LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW... LET IT SNOW!* Snow in Georgia! What is going on? :o) Don't get me wrong - I love it! I'm not complaining... It's just strange! There's not really enough on the ground to make a snowball, nevertheless, a snowman! But - I might try anyway. Ya never know when you might get another chance to do that in the deep south!
Well - enough about the weather.... Tim is coming into town to visit this weekend. I'm so excited! I miss him sooooo much while he's away at school. Ugh... long distance sucks! But- it makes the weekends that much better.... ;o)
I'm going to finish playing in my winter wonderland before it all melts away! *Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!!*

Well - I got a lot of cleaning done today... I had dinner with Mom and Nana this evening - not a bad time. Then I came home, wrote some letters and talked to Tim for a while. I'm going to see him tomorrow night after my band practice. (I play trombone in a dance band.) Then, I think we're taking a road trip on friday - don't know where we're going, don't care where we're going... just glad to get out of town for a while. *On the road again.... Just can't wait to get on the road again....*

G'morning! Well, my brother woke me up with a phone call this morning... looking for something that he left at home - hoping that I'd drive it to his college town next time I was visiting... Geez! ;o) What's on the agenda for today? More cleaning? YES... sounds like a whole freakin' lot of fun to me! (Not much sub. teaching action while the kiddies are out of school for mid-winter break, eh?) Guess I'll just put a little Sinatra on the radio and get to work... *I've got you...... under my skin.......*

I realized this afternoon after reviewing my post from yesterday/REALLY early this morning that I jumped right into the middle of my life without giving you any kind of background on who I am. (I figure that might be important in order to understand ANYTHING that I'm talking about.) So - here's a run down. I'm 22 years old. I just graduated from Georgia College and State University with a Bach. Degree in Music Education. I want to be a middle school band director. (It's a dangerous profession, but someone's gotta do it!) Right now I'm working on becoming a substitute teacher. (Hmmm... also a very dangerous job. Maybe I'm a masochist. hehe) Let's see... what else... I'm dating a fabulous guy who lives an hour away. That hour drive is NO fun... but always well worth it.
I'm in a very interesting point in my life.... I'm really doing some self-evaluation. Ya know - trying to figure out who I am and what I really believe about things. I want to know if my values are really mine, or are something that I was force-fed all my life. I want to know myself.... From what I hear, this a futile desire, but it's my journey none the less. Hence- this online journal. If I see my life in writing maybe that will help me do some evaluating.
Alright, well... I think that catches us up. This morning I was awakened by my cell phone ringing in my ear. It was Tim, the boyfriend. :o) I love to wake up and his be the first voice I hear... in person or over the phone, it doesn't matter... It just puts a smile on my face.
I'm off to a day of household chores and grocery shopping. Just call me Cinderella.

Hmmm... well, this is a new venture for me... Spreading my thoughts for all to see. It's kind of weird at first - but I think I'm going to like it. :o) I figure that this will be a good way for me to vent things that are bothering me, to share things that make me happy and generally get things off my chest. So - are you with me? I hope so. Buckle up - make sure that all hands are inside of the vehicle and let's blog!
Well, I just got back home from visiting a fantastic boyfriend for Valentine's Day. I used to HATE this holiday... I hated all the stupid obligatory flowers and chocolates. I hated the fact that someone I was dating felt like they HAD to give me sappy cards and gifts just because it was the middle of February. I would SO much rather get a bouquet of daisies on some random Thursday... just because it's Thursday and they were thinking about me. But - this Valentine's day was really nice. I didn't feel like he was doing special things for me because he had to. I really felt like he was doing this because he loved me and not because he had to. Wow... I love him... I REALLY love him!
