you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter

Quick post.. because I'm really exhausted and I'm supposed to be getting around to go out again. A friend at work told me today that "new relationships mean you sacrifice sleep in order to spend time with the person." How true. I have been running on approximately 6 hours of sleep per night for the past 14 nights or so.. But it's all been 110% worth it. Juggling work and a social life on very little sleep is worth it when you have so much to smile about! I might be drinking coffee like it's going out of style, but I'm living the good life and have absolutely no complaints. Ok well... I will complain about the fact that I had to work today and missed an entire day of basketball tournaments, but I'm off to go watch the girls 2nd tournament game here in a bit and should have another great night!

I think I'm really pretty smitten

It's as official as a referee with a whistle. This hot commodity is no longer on the market! :)

This pretty much made my day :)

Remember how to put back the light in my eyes.

Well, I didn't get much sleep this weekend, but it was well worth it :) Had another great day today. Things are looking optimistic. We had our first official "date" today and have another one planned for Wednesday. I literally could not be happier. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that everything keeps working out, because I am the happiest I have ever been. Seriously. Nothing is going to bring me down.

Wow. Awesome night.

Someone up there loves me. I am absolutely certain. I'm not sure what I did to deserve to be this happy, but I am on cloud 9 right now. What an amazing night. I'm gonna try very hard to keep it all inside for the time being, but I'm as happy as I can ever remember. I just had the greatest night. I don't care if I don't sleep. You couldn't even pry the smile off my face.

Amazing Night

I, for one, had an amazing night last night. I kept having to pinch myself to be sure I wasn't dreaming. Literally. Wow, I am not usually one who wishes for things to happen and have them actually happen, but I have to say that in this case, I am very glad that it did!

So I have been going on and on about this guy for the past few weeks about how I really like him, but not sure if he likes me or even pays attention to the fact I exist. Well, I've kind of been keeping quiet about it lately, because I really wasn't sure, and I got a few good words of advice that I should probably not get too hyped up about it until after basketball season is over (he is a basketball coach), because he is so busy, which is true.

Well, last night I was pretty bored and found out that my cousin was going to go up to the one bar in town to visit a friend from Michigan that was here for the night. So I met them up there. It turns out that this particular guy was up there too with the other basketball coaches. It's not a very big bar by any means, so there was no hiding the fact that this was pretty much my only opportunity to get my point across. However, I didn't want to come across as too obvious or needy, so I just kind of sat back and did nothing. Two hours later, one of the other coaches asked me to come sit with them and history was made. Haha just kidding.... We sat around and talked for a couple of hours and then we all went home. I was a little bummed, because my cousin told me that I hadn't been obvious enough. Well, just as he was telling me that, the phone rang. It was the guy I've been talking about all these weeks. And he's interested in me also :) And we are going to start hanging out more.

So... It looks like I'll be going to the basketball game tonight. It's away. But if anyone wants to come along, get ahold of me. I am very happy and in an awesome mood right now :)

If words could make wishes come true.

It has been a bittersweet week and for the most part, I'm glad it's over. Thursday was a tough day. It is every year. My aunt passed away 2-3-06 and I will never forget. Lots of memories were brought back this week. I just focused on the happy times. Life isn't fair, that's for sure.

The next few days should be pretty busy. Today I'm spending my day off at a continuing education course on Parkinson's Disease. Not exactly how I wanted to spend my day off, but I should get at least 4 CEUs for this, so I'll survive. Tomorrow is the super bowl. Not sure what I'm doing for it yet, but I might just stay home and relax. I hate the Steelers enough to offend any of their fans, so maybe it's best to stay home, lol. Then it's back to work for another long week of craziness. I am in desperate need of a vacation :/

Snowpocalypse 2011

Today I chose to stay home from work and play it safe. We are only under a Level 2 snow emergency, so maybe I'm a wuss, but I don't care. I'm not going to take the risk. I can't even get out of my driveway anyway. The snow is piled up at the end from the snow plow and it's so full of heavy ice that I can't get it dug out with my snow shovel. Plus, the snow is continuing to fall, making things worse. So even if I am the only one from the therapy department who didn't make it in today, oh well. I'm not going to total my car and I'm not going to risk hurting myself. I have student loans to pay and it's pretty hard to pay them if you hurt yourself and can't work. If I get fired for not showing up, I can always find another job. I'm home safe for the time being.
