“Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evils thereof.” Matthew 6:34 Let go and let God. It’s good advice for myself. I’ve been worrying too much. Obsessing and torturing myself aren’t helping. I can feel it making things worse, and yet I continue to do it. No more. If...

I am very seriously looking into this. However, I am kind of planning it so I would leave after The Avengers comes out and come back before The Dark Knight Rises… If that doesn’t make me a responsible adult, I don’t know what does!

Happy 2012

I’m not a fan of New Year’s resolutions because I shouldn’t have to wait for the start of a new year to improve myself. I should be doing that all the time. But I guess this is the time when people think of new beginnings. Leaving all the problems of the previous year behind and making the next year better. So with that in mind here are my Top 5 Resolutions. 5. Make my room look...

“It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything” — Tyler Durden (Fight Club) I think I’m just about there. I haven’t lost everything. And I hope to God I don’t lose anything or anyone else. But I can feel myself getting less and less attached. Every sad memory. Every moment of loneliness. Every disappointment. Every...

I believe that God tells us exactly what we need to hear in the exact moments we need to hear it. Sometimes it comes from an unexpected and unlikely source. It comes to provide advice and guidance and to remind us that we are never really all alone. Thank you for that.

Today's Take

2 Coffee Mugs 1 Tea Pot 1 Jar of Nutella 2 Bags of Funnel Cakes (but those were given to me) Hooo-ah.

Oct 14th

So my last day at IHOP is a week away. Last night I took a coffee cup and a brand new bottle of Cholula. I think I also want a jar of Nutella. Thoughts on if I should keep taking stuff and, if so, what?

Quite A Pleasant Day

This morning I went canoeing in Huntsville State Park. We were supposed to go hiking too, but it started to rain so we came back to Houston after lunch. Then Cindy and I went to Starbucks to warm up with some coffee and ended up chatting for a while. Then I drove home in the rain to the sound of Bright Eyes. Perfect music for a rainy day. Then I got home and went to church with my mom which is...

It is done.

Today, after well over 3 years and countless pancakes, I put in my two weeks notice at IHOP. I feel lighter.

Recently I asked a friend if he thought I had changed since the events that transpired at the end of last year. He replied that in his opinion, I had not. But that made me think. Why haven’t I changed? Shouldn’t something of this magnitude change a person? Why didn’t it change me? The fact that I’m still the same person does not feel comforting, but makes me feel so...

This is when it all pays off

Sometimes I really hate my job. The rude customers, the long hours, and the asinine rules (the latest of which is that employees are not allowed to bring a bag/purse and keep it in the break room…really? good luck enforcing that when a woman is on her period. And do they really think anyone is keeping their wallet and car keys in their apron all day? But I digress) are all quite taxing on my...

That B*tch

These are 2 e-mails I sent to my advisor a month a ago as you can see by the dates (the drop date was June 9th): Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 6:08 PM Subject: Re: Health and Human Performance Ms. Duron, I still haven’t received any news about my petition. Summer classes start next week and the drop date to receive a refund is next Tuesday. I really do not have the money to spend...

I'm Sad

This is what my “advisor” just sent me… Sara, At this time your certification for graduation will be disapproved. You can submit a petition and if approved, you will need to reapply for graduation. If it is not approved, you will need to fulfill that specific requirement and still reapply for graduation. You are still able to participate in commencement on...

I am under some serious stress right now

I think I just had a freaking panic attack. What about? I thought I had forgotten to go to a final. I looked at my calendar and couldn’t remember taking it. I started pacing, got a hot flash, and could barely breathe. Until I realized that I had, in fact, taken it Tuesday on the day it was scheduled, like I was supposed to. I couldn’t remember taking a final 2 days ago. That is no...

Really U of H?! Really?!?!

You tell me now. You decide the week before I’m supposed to graduate is the time to tell me that one of my credits, just 1 stupid hour, might not count because it’s not the right class. This information couldn’t have been brought up before I took the class 2 years ago? Or any semester since then? I have met with my advisor at least 5 times this year. Most of those visits were...

I Always Forget

I always forget how good working out feels. Today I did substantial exercise for the first time in a couple of months, and it was great. First, I ran/walked around my neighborhood for an hour, then I came home and did some calisthenic stuff, some ab stuff, and some stretching. All in all, it was about 2 hours of my day…. 2 hours I don’t really have to spare, but I’d much rather...
