12 things.

This seems fun to do.  And in the interest of finding more out about who I am, I thought I'd do it.
12 things you may or may not know about me. 
Here we go.

1. I am so happy it's Friday.  And not just any Friday.  MEMORIAL WEEKEND FRIDAY! That means swimming! (hopefully) 
2. I love swimming. 
3. I've never had surgery or been under anesthesia.
4.  Warm, cloudy, rainy-days-that-end-in-thunderstorms are my favorite kind.
5. Planting seeds and watching a plant grow over the course of time is exciting to me.
6.  I have naturally curly hair but nobody else in my immediate family does.
7. I like reading but it has to be the right book and I have to be in the right mood. Otherwise, it can take me a very looonnnggggg time to get through a book. One of my favorite parts about reading though, is finishing a book and adding it to my (I like calling it this because it seems ironic, but not in the literary sense of the word) "Done Been Read" log . Which leads me to the next...
8.  I greatly enjoy crossing things off of to-do lists.
9.  I lived in Asia for 10 years and I speak the language fluently.
10. My middle name is rose.
11. I have freckles year-round.
12. I didn't care for chocolate until I tasted dark chocolate. I'm hungry for some just writing about it.

We Meet Again

Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...

Seasons: The Future

So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

Thankful Thursday: Sweet heart hurts.

I was going to say "Happy Thursday to you!"  And if you're having a happy Thursday, good for you.  In the sense of wishing someone a happy day I suppose I do wish you that.  However,  I do not mean that I feel happy on this Thursday. So maybe more like "Thoughtful and introspective Thursday!" Doesn't sound as nice as "Happy Thursday" but that's okay. I'm not particularly happy on this Thursday and for fear of tempting you to judge whether or not my reason for not being happy is legitimate or not (some people feel like they have that position, you know) I won't go into the details of why. I will say that I miss somebody today.  More than just one; I miss him and his whole family. Without going into more detail on that, I'll tell you that my heart hurts today.  The why is irrelevant for the sake of what I'm trying to say; but it does hurt. There are at least two kinds of heart hurts I think: ( There is good news though beca...
