Lazy sunday

Last saturday my mom turned 50, so I thought we should do something special for her. I had been planning a month in advance with the help of my dad and Katherine. Justin and I drove friday around 2pm. I had forgotten what it is like to drive for ten hours!!

It was cool to do a road trip with Justin, we had fun, we talked, and listened to music, and ate. Then it got dark and VERY COLD! I was freezing when we pulled for gas. My mom was very surprised! I was a little nervous of how she would react, but she was happy and excited. The next day we threw her a surprise masquarade black and white party. It turned out very nice and my family had a lot of fun. We had great food, and drinks. We had a pinata and a mask contest. It was hilarious to hang out with my family, they are all really funny, crazy and loud in a good way. We went to Carlos' house to play guitar hero. We had a good time, everybody played and we had pizza and wings. Later in the evening, we got to hang out with my friends, we had mexican with Liz and family, Christen, and Lauren. We went out with Lauren to foothills and Burke St. I was able to drink woodchuck! yay, it was very good and cheap, thanks to Mark!

Right now, Justin and I are watching movies and just being lazy on a sunday. It is storming, so it is like perfect weather. We saw no reservations last night. It was an okay movie. It moved a little slow and weird, but it was cute. I just don't like movies when a little girl/children lose their mom at an early age. It is so sad! We also started watchign hairspray but I fell asleep. Go figure. Today we saw "The Simpsons movie", it was funny, I used to watch the simpsons all the time when I was younger, so it ws good to see it again in a movie. It started raining harder!

Back to the Blog

Hello there,

So I haven't written a blog in a very long time. I think the last time I was blogging was back in 2006, right after college. What brought me back? I am not sure, perhaps a need for inspiration, perhaps I need to start writing again so I can get things off my mind, or maybe to better explain myself.

I am not really a writer or reader, I do enjoy it, but many times I am lazy, yes I'm being honest. I just really need inspiration to write, or read, or even to design and I haven't had much inspiration lately. 

On a different note, I miss college very much. As much as I was so ready to get out, I knew I'd miss it. I really miss learning and I miss being around so much art and inspiring people. I feel like I have lost touch with my artsy side, like I have become some ordinary working person with no need for art, which is not really me because I love art! and well, I do have a painting hanging in the room, which I created this past august to match the room decor. I replaced the beautiful dolphin painting I made back in my color theory class. That is probably one of my best paintings, it's just that I need a different kind of colors right now.

So what is up? what is new since my last blog two years ago? A WHOLE LOT! my whole life has changed dramatically, some for the better. The past two years have been quite an adventure, I have met tons of people, I have made friends, lost some, I have been working like a bee. I am dating a wonderful guy and he is a source of beautiful inspiration. I do miss my family and friends very much and, yes I do miss good ole North Carolina.  

Florida has been fun, I always wanted to live here so bad since I was younger, the sunshine state, it is shiny, but probably hotter than I want it to be. Do I call FL home? no I don't think so, I haven't really found those roots yet, well I mean obviously there has to be some kind of root, because I have been here for quite a while, it is fun, there is always something to do, but it is missing something, and I am still trying to figure it out.

Let's see what else? there are lots of things on my mind, lots of updates to do. It's like I am trying to start back where I left up two years ago, but too much has happened and it will take a while to write it all out! But for now, I think I will stop, but it felt really good to be free and write.
