I shall cover you all with optimism, even if I don't wanna!

There's a lot of ideas I've been running through my head on what to do with my blog, and I've just decided that it wouldn't be me to just stick with one thing or one theme behind it. I'm a random person, and so shall be my blog as well. There will be days that I'll be random, and attempting to be funny, and somewhere in all of that something intelligent may or may not come out of it. But one thing that will always be the same is that I am me and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Today I decided I wanted to pretend to be inspirational. Yeah, right...But hey, it's my imagination so I'm gonna roll with it. The main lesson I've learned today is that pride is something that should be taken in small doses. For some reason, I've had it in my head that things suck really badly right now. I've been hitting a lot of walls in life, so to speak, and have been very frustrated and discouraged because of it. Work's stressful, life is hard, and things sometimes suck....AND!? That's nothing new, so why is it today I decided to be all mopey and silly about it rather then take life in hand and walk the journey of experience.

I have many things that I am very grateful for, which I'm not going to name here, but I will say that they've helped remind me what it is that's important in life and I'm not going to let myself keep dwelling on the unimportant things anymore. The optimist in me has decided to speak, and so I shall listen to it and not be all silly anymore.

We have 3 cats here where I live, and they make life interesting sometimes. But one thing that I've always enjoyed about animals, is that they help teach you not to take life so seriously all the time. Even now as I'm typing, our black kitty is laying in my lap wanting attention, and sometimes it can be a pain in the you know what, but to be honest it just wouldn't be the same without that cute little furry face looking up at me purring and telling me that he loves me and is there for me when I need it. I mean come on, who wouldn't love a cute, black, furry face looking up at you with his golden eyes of adoration and love? He's got plenty of love nomnoms for anyone willing to pet him and love him back.

I honestly didn't really want to write anything today, but I figured it's been awhile since I've posted a blog, and what's the point in having one if you don't write in it? So, in all my randomness and writing I hope that I at least cheered someone up with my random optimistic quotes of awesome. And now I bid you all adieu! Au revoir, mes amis!

An Introduction to me!

Well, I finally did it. I went and made myself a blog! Now for what to put on it, heh heh. Well, I haven't gotten to that part yet, but I figure as long as I have fun with what I'm doing and I like what I see then I might as well just go with the flow. I don't know how often I plan on posting updates, but I figure I'll post when I post and leave it at that.
I'll start off with some about me stuff and then as I feel like posting more I'll add it here.
About me:
Well, I'm originally from Idaho. Lived all over the south-eastern area most of my life, which is also where I have some family as well. I went to high school in Orem, UT and for a bit of college as well. After having to take a break from school, I decided to move back to Idaho to get back in touch with family and figure some things out about myself. After that, I decided I needed a change so I decided to move to Washington. I plan on going back to school eventually, but right now I'm not ready to. I'm in no hurry, I figure I'll go when the time is right, but for now I'm spending a lot of time working and just having fun being an adult.
The area I live in is a LOT bigger then I'm used to (I'm a small-town country girl that's recently moved to the big city), but I love it. I always felt like I wanted to live in a large city ever since I was little. I got a small taste of it in Utah when I lived relatively close to Salt Lake City, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. So I decided why not try Washington? I mean I love the rain, which we get plenty of here, and the culture here is so much more different. I can't wait to explore the area more and actually visit Seattle (it's about an hour or so away from where I'm at, depending on traffic), since I haven't had a chance to go there yet.
From an astrological sense, I'm a Pisces sun sign, Scorpio moon sign. And in the eastern zodiacs I'm a Tiger (Rawr!). I met my best friend of 14 years in elementary school, and we both currently live together with her husband which is something we haven't done since we were in junior high.  I also have my wonderful man living here as well. I met him about 7 months ago when he came to visit with my besty and her hubby for the summer. When I first met him we clicked and things felt right from the start. He's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. We are very close to each other and I really hope that things continue to go well with us! We also have our 3 cats here which makes life interesting sometimes, but we love them all the same anyway.

And I guess that's about it for now. Kind of boring I know, but hey it's me and that's all there is to it, lol. I'm currently relearning to play the piano and am getting back into my writing again which I'm very grateful for because I lost interest in them for awhile. I've enjoyed being able to view the world around me in a different way then I did before, and I'm so grateful for the opportunities that I've been given. I only hope that things continue to get better as time progresses. Take care everyone! And God bless!
