brighter

so it was a much better weekend. i decided to take saturday to myself even though i had things to do...like grocery shop, start a project for my jewellery class and laundry. but instead of rushing around and then proceeding to complain that i have no time i TOOK time for me. one thing i was told once that you cannot make time but you certainly can take time and i think everyone needs to do that sometimes. so i had a lovely day pottering around the house and even cleaned the house a bit. and to top off the day tom and i shared great coversation, guitar lessons and way too many drinks with our amazing neighbours.

sunday was nice too, even though i did have the dull throb of the infamous hangover headache of one too many drinks. i ate indian food with my family for a little belated birthday celebration. naan bread does wonders for a hangover! then i was treated to homemade cake by my lovely husband and many nice gifts. but i think my favourite was from tom. he presented to me a treasure chest box covered in carvings that he did by hand and then inside was a fancy, professional camera! It is a digital camera with the lenses that change out and all the gizmos that go along with that. needless to say i need to sit down with the instruction booklet so i can figure out all the functions and how to use it. but i hope to have some time this weekend and then i can begin to post photos.

how can days be so long

today felt like the longest day ever. maybe it was because i woke up with puffy eyes and the desire to crawl right back into bed. but i managed to get up and go to work but let me tell you this day dragged on and on. i suppose it might be due to the fact that i am feeling a little lost right now. i am at this weird point where i am wondering when do you begin to understand more and how do people balance everything. i am not convinced that work should equal your whole life, yet when i see the people around me it seems to swallow them. maybe they have found their passion and am i trying to find mine, i just don't know. i suppose that this is the beginning of a very.very, very long journey....but i am ready for it.

will i get there?

i am having one of those days when i am not too sure if i know anything. i mean here i am 26 and i feel like i am not anywhere close to where i thought i would be. i am sure that it is a twenty something thing but that does not make me feel any better. so instead of mulling over this i am going to watch some thursday night tv and eat cinnamon hearts until my tongue hurts.
YAY SUGAR!
