{To Clean or Not to Clean}

I can admit that I am simply a pretty unorganized person. I don't like to clean, I don't like to vacuum I would rather my bedroom and my entire life be self-cleaning. I do though, love to be organized, which is ironic because you have to clean to be organized.

Every once in a blue moon, however, I get into this cleaning frenzy, it’s super rare though. A little over a month ago the guy that I am dating and I cleaned up my entire room (he’s so sweet). I’ve notice that I’m slipping back into my bad bad ways and have made it a point this week to get back on track. There is a pile of clothes (clean ones at least) on my bed and they have been there over a week. I did a pretty good job about giving everything its own ‘home’ so cleaning shouldn't be that much of a problem.

I should tidy up the kitchen and living room while I’m at it.

Cross your fingers for me that I actually get this little task done.

{Tik Tok Tik Tok}

I went to visit my parents this weekend. I always get nervous going ‘home’. For a very long time ‘home’ was just not the most pleasant place to be and honestly I dreaded almost every trip because I knew it would end with me and someone in my family getting into some sort of screaming fit or someone crying or just a whole lotta drama.

I hate drama.

The older I get the more my family has seemed to level out. I truly love seeing my sister, niece and above all my mom. Though, she did call me old this past weekend. Not cool mom. She also asked me the dreaded question… “When are you going to find a companion?” Ugh. Basically, I’m getting old and I’m alone and she wants grandbabies. Lol.

I truly am in no rush to jump into a marriage or relationship. I would much rather take some extra time to develop a strong bond with my partner and build something that is going to last for a long time. Of course, I would love to have children one day and at this point in my life I can say that if all works out I will be a mother one day, one way or another. I do believe that I have the potential to be a strong supportive mother, mainly because my mother is just so awesome.

I am not blind to the fact that motherhood is hard, I would like to be debt free before I venture into mommy land and I would prefer to be with someone that I am in a loving supportive relationship.

I’m only 27, 28 in May. I still think that I have time, though I do sometimes hear my biological clock ticking away reminding me how I’m not getting any younger.

I know in my heart that my journey in life will be exciting and I truly look forward to what lies ahead because I am sure it will be amazing. The older I get the more positive I become. Things always have a way of working themselves out. There is no point in self pity, because you are where you are in your life for a reason. Sometimes bad situations, or what we perceive to be bad situations, help us by forcing us to take another path in life that we would have never taken without that obstacle.

I’m excited to see what’s to come.

N.E.E.T. Find of the Day: Colette Patterns

N.E.E.T. Find of the Day: Colette Patterns

{Lets try this again}

I haven't really written anything in a while. I was pretty confused about what direction I wanted to take my blog. I get so put back when I try to think about directions and how personal I want to make my blog. I've come to realise that if my blog is as scatterbrained as I am, that's just fine. I would love to be able to look back on this in a few years to be able to see what I was doing, thinking and experiencing.

Probably one of the most significant changes in my life so far has been the birth of my best friend's baby, Mark. He's a cutie and I just love him. I was also very honored to be asked to be Mark, Jr's godmother. ♥♥♥



I have also continued to see a guy that I really am starting to care very deeply for and only hope that it continues on to develop into something very special.

Work, meh... its work. I continue to think about what I want to do, but I always get stumped because there are so many thing that make me happy. In this economy, I truly am lucky to have a job, period.

I am traveling to Ft Worth this weekend to visit with family, cross your fingers that its a good visit. :-)

xoxo
