Ya know, this whole adulthood/married life is pretty darn snazzy.

Yeah i know it’s sappy, but gosh, to find someone like this is truly a blessing. I am very thankful for my husband.

You know what’s sad? Friday, I get a “virus” in my work computer. So, I called our Tech guy to tell him the problem. He tells me he needs to research it and will get back with me on Wednesday. The sad part? I fixed the problem, and told him what was wrong with it and how I fixed it.

My appologies for my little absence lately. Like everyone else, the holidays got hold of me. Good news is that we are one or two presents away from being finished christmas shopping.
Man, I really don’t think I should have gotten a cell phone. It was dead all last week, and this weekend. And I didn’t charge it. Yes, I was that lazy that I didn’t feel like charging my cellphone. Ha! But I got two great pieces of voicemail this morning that made my day. First one from a past co-worker telling me she sent an email to my boss telling him how blessed he is to have me with his company. And the second is I got called to be in another movie sometime in January. It is for three dates all of which are on weekdays. I will have to see with work how that will turn out.
I hope you guys have an excellent day!

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
—Jim Morrison (via bitchville)

This might sound odd…
A few nights ago, I believe that my dog came to visit me in my dream. She looked completely different. Her hair was white and her black spots were actually black and not grey. And she was sooo full of life and her hair looked silky. I remember asking her if she is doing okay. I heard her speak, but her mouth wasn’t moving. She said she is having a really awesome time, and she’s having soooo much fun. I remember hearing her voice, but I can’t describe it. I asked her if she missed the earth, and she said no not really… then she continued to say she’s having soooo much fun. I told her I love you and we love you. Then I woke up. I said a few other things, but I don’t remember.
Might sound odd… but i feel better now. I’m glad I got to see her that way. Instead of her being sick.
