Where do I live?

Good question...sometimes I am not sure.

For the next 6 weekends I will not be in the city where "my stuff" resides. And while all my upcoming weekend plans are fun things and activities I am choosing to be a part of... I still get so tired of the going and going. Last weekend I actually stayed in the Queen City and it was absolutely perfect. Friday night I had good sushi. Saturday I enjoyed a massage and hung out at a coffee bar (girly side) followed by a night at the local pub watching college football (masculine side). Then Sunday's highlight was spent at the National Whitewater Center complete with Adventure rafting and zip-line rides! It truly was a great weekend. Remind me again why I don't stay in town more often? :)

Birthday and friends

"Be who you are and say what you feel...

Because those that matter.. don't mind...

And those that mind... don't matter."

I am truly blessed to have GREAT friends.

Friends that get me, even when I am being complicated.

Friends that love me even when I am being difficult.

And friends that allow me to just be me, quirks and all.

Thank you to all my good friends out there.

You keep making each passing year even better

than the one before.

Here's to another year!

One year older, hopefully wiser and fuller!

(is that even a word? :)

Until next time!

Be happy!

"Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times "

How true. You know life isn't always easy and not always fair either...but we do have a choice in it all. There is always a good and bad way to handle even the hard times. So remember when you are down and have the blues, that you hold all the power you need to be happy. It may not always be immediate but you can get there! People say to me "why are you so happy all the time"...well it's a choice and I choose to spread a little sunshine whenever I can.

Phone Numbers

OK- 2 funny stories about phone numbers both in the same night:

Situation 1:
I went out to dinner at a local restaurant/bar. It is a really cool place I found near where I live that has ping pong tables and corn hole and just big fun. So my group of friends and I were making a night of it. A group of three guys approached a girlfriend of mine and I and started trying to make small talk. We both knew where this was going and honestly neither of us had an interest in the gentlemen so we politely excused ourselves to go meet back up with the rest of our group. OH before we could scramble away one of the guys asked if he could get my number. I politely :) told him I didn't give my number to strangers and he said "how am I suppose to not become a stranger if you don't give me your number"...good one buddy, real original. I didn't feel like debating this guy and I have a tendency to not be able to be frank and rude so I gave the man a fake number. All was well until later in the evening when we were leaving and the guy finds me and says "thanks for giving me a wrong number, I tried it and it wasn't you"...I mean, what did he expect? Had he not seen the movie "She is just not that into you?"

Situation 2:
During the same evening our group of friends start talking to another group near us. I am being all chatty with this one gentleman, not because I was interested at all, no b/c I thought he was gay and thus not a threat. We went on and on all night being witty and having a big time. It got to be late and our group decided it was time to call it an evening. We were almost to the car when the guy came running up behind us and "asked if he could get my number". So I gave him my number half confused (this time I gave out the correct digits as I had just been called out less than 5 minutes before for using a fake). I get into the car with a shocked look on my face and turn to my friends. "Was he not obviously gay, I mean am I completely wrong?" Why did the gay guy want my number? The consensus in the car was that he was definitely sending out gay vibes but that it was quite strange that he asked for my number. Sure enough, next day I receive a text from apparently "the cute Russian guy that I flirted with last night" as he self-proclaimed himself. What? Not gay? So apparently foreign can also come across as gay?

Moral of the story, I'm going to start saying I don't own a phone. Yep, no cell to reach me on, no email address to be contacted at... I'm just a roamer, an artist even... who knows, some good story that leaves me without contact info.

The seasons

I love the changing of the seasons. I guess because I love change. Although it is a little sad to see my beloved Summer leave, I am super excited for Fall to be approaching. Walking outside feeling a little chill (ok it really is only 70 degrees but hey that is chilly when you have been use to 90-100 degree weather), I just LOVE IT!

Also, Fall means another LOVE of mine.... College Football.

My Gamecock's officially begin their season today!

Who is excited!!!!!
