In other news:
I've got a great friend from college visiting-- and it feels SO good. We sat up talking and laughing last night about anything and everything. I love it. It's great for the soul! We're planning on doing some "tourist-y" things like walk around downtown, and OF COURSE, we're going to be beach bums for a bit.
There's nothing quite like having a good girl friend. I can't explain it really. But it's nice knowing I have a friend like her. We don't see each other often, or even talk that often, but she's someone I know I could count on no matter what! I can be myself and we just have so much fun.
If you have a friend like that-- cherish them. Don't let a friendship like that fall to the wayside, because one day, you'll need someone, and that person won't be around. I know that I've been bad about dropping the ball when it comes to friendships, but I've also been on the other side of it. I've tried to uphold a friendship. I've tried to keep in touch. I've tried to be there, regardless of distance. But if both people aren't fully trying... it doesn't work. It's like a romantic relationship. If Louis and I didn't put in 110%, it wouldn't work. Both people have to WANT the relationship to work. It doesn't mean you won't disagree, maybe even fight, but if both people want it to work, it can!
It's hard being on the side of TRYING so hard to keep a friendship, only to watch the other person give it up. It hurts when you think the person really was a great friend, but then they don't care enough anymore.
I've been there when I just got tired of fighting for it. It put so much emotional stress on me. It wasn't worth the fight anymore. It's sad, yes... but there comes a time in life when you really start to see the things that matter, and the things that don't.
That's not to say doors won't be open for those people down the road, but it is saying that it won't be the same. It's like when you've been hurt or cheated on-- it's harder to open that door fully and trust that person not to hurt you again.
The heart is a delicate thing-- even when it comes to friendships. My husband is my best friend, but there is something different about a bond between two girl friends. Sure, maybe the emotions between to females is the reason why there's sometimes fall outs... but if that friend REALLY means something, it won't really matter in the end.
Who's YOUR best friend? Be thankful for them today!
Song of the day:
Things That Matter by Rascal Flatts
Sometimes he lets that boss get in his head
He can't see past that mountain of deadlines on his desk
5oclock he's that last one out of the gate
And he gets cut off flipped off ticked off out on the interstate
And he wonders why this world won't leave him alone
Till he hears that little voice holler “daddy's home”
Things that matter
Things that don't
She's held on to that grudge all her life
Had thirty years of anger
Since her dad walked out that night
She thinks of all the moments that he's missed
All the birthdays ballets first dates
That seems too much to forget
She gets that call that said he don't have long
She walks in
He starts crying
The past is gone
Things that matter
Things that don't
Time ain't on my side
Don't want to leave this world
With why didn't I?
Why didn't I?
Yeah why didn't I?
Sometimes I take on this world by myself
Thinking I got all the answers
Don't need anybody's help
Well god was right there waiting for me all along
To fall down on my knees surrender all
Things that matter
Things that don't
Things that matter
Things that don't

My head is spinning...
But in a good way.
Yesterday, I took a leap of faith, and signed up to sell Mary Kay. I've heard, or read, both positive and negative things about this type of business... but I really felt like this could be something good for me. So I did it.
I just got off the phone with my Sales Director, and my head's going crazy. Lots of numbers, lots of good ideas and lots of positive energy.
I would LOVE to start out at "Star Level"... but money, of course, is the issue. I can't just purchase all this stuff out of my own pocket. I'd love to, but money issues were the reason I decided to invest in another "job". So, I'm praying that as soon as possible, I can get some orders rolling in to help me out.
I haven't received my starter package yet... and I'm eagerly awaiting it's arrival. I truly am excited about the opportunity. Nervous? Yes, but I know that passion is the key. This is what I want to do. This is what I NEED to do.
I want to be a positive change in the lives of others. I want to share the joy and excitement I've got inside about the endless opportunities that lay ahead.
I know that I can do this... but I can't do it alone. Any feedback, encouragement, questions or orders (had to throw that in there!): shoot it my way!

Cleaning
Cleaning is a neverending task. Especially when you have a 75 pound ball of love and fur living in your house. That ball of love and fur is a precious, but sometimes handful, black lab named Cody. Cody's been my "baby" for about a year now. And Louis "adopted" him as his own when we got together. So now here he is... living in the house, being spoiled on a daily basis.
I love him. And getting Cody definitely changed my life in many ways.
In the beginning, he taught me the value of sleep (he woke me up every two hours)... It was a test of patience. He peed in the floor. I'd lose it and cry (it was the lack of sleep).
But slowly we grew to be the best of friends. He gave me an even bigger heart for animals. Especially dogs. I love dogs more now than I ever have because I know how precious they are. I know that they have feelings and need to be loved... and all they want to do is love you and please you.
I wrote a blog earlier about puppy love. I still feel the same. If only we could learn to love unconditionally like a dog. I mean, I can yell at Cody... and next thing I know he's laying next to me, never holding a grudge. I always feel bad leaving him overnight (although he's taken care of by friends). But when I get home, I get attacked by my big love bug!
Dogs are great for a million reasons (and it's NOT the pet hair you have to clean up!).
They are stress relievers. I believe this with all my heart. Even on my worst days, just putting my hands on his soft fur and feeling his little nose nuzzle up next to me, I feel more at peace.
Everyday with Cody is a test of patience. In the mornings, he whines to wake me up. As soon as my feet his the floor, he's watching me anxiously as if to say, "Are we going for a walk?" Lord help us all if I mention the word WALK! As soon as I put on my work out clothes, you can see his excitement growing. Once I grab my keys, he's about to climb the walls with excitement. And then getting the poop-bags seals the deal and he can barely sit still while I put on his collar.
It's cute, but a bit annoying at times. His excitement can exhaust me. Especially when he tries to drag me along on our walks.
But the joy that his little 75 pound body contains is amazing. It makes me wish I had his energy... and makes me realize we should get more excited about the small things. It's hot as Hades outside, but that doesn't stop his enthusiasm. He's happy than a pig in mud when he's walking along, seeing the sights and smelling EVERYTHING.
Oh the things we could learn.
Now back to my original thought: cleaning.
I've spend the past 3 hours trying to get the house clean. And I wish I could teach Cody a thing or two... about cleaning. But alas, I can't. He lays and watches me sweep and mop. Then eagerly tries to get on the clean floor before it's dry. Then he enjoys trying to chase the vacuum cleaner, and lick chemicals I use to for cleaning the bathrooms. So cleaning becomes even more of a struggle trying to keep him out of everything!
Now, the house is almost clean (just need to do the terrible task of cleaning the shower...). It's just an hour before Louis arrives home. So I must go. I will have more to write later. Thanks for reading, and hopefully it put a smile on your face!

A Lot Has Changed... and I'm Thinking About Changing
Wow!
Looking at old posts, I can't help but laugh. It's been a while. Looking at where I was, and where I am now is a completely different world.
First, and biggest change of all, is that I'm now happily married! Surprised?! I met this amazing man back in late September... started dating in mid-October, got engaged in December, and just got married on May 7th. Talk about a whirlwind!
Some people may think it's crazy. We both thought we were crazy too. But most importantly, we are crazy about each other, and when you know it's meant to be, you just know. More on married life later!
Secondly, I quit my radio station job... NOT that I don't want to continue to pursue it, but you see my "first" up there?! I was getting married, and my job only gave me 14 hours a week at minimum wage. I didn't think it would be worth my husband trying to sell his house and move to Macon for me. So, I took a leap of faith and quit.
Third on my list of changes: I moved. I'm now living in the BEAUTIFUL state of Florida. And best of all-- it's an ISLAND. Which means I'm just minutes from the beach! For those of you who know me, this was a dream come true.
So are you beginning to see how everything is tying together? There's a lot more changes, all of which are part of the bigger picture and all tie together somehow. I won't bore you!
My whole life has been in a process of change now for the past few months. My "new" life is great and it's continually showing and teaching me new things-- about myself and the world around me.
There's a lot I feel I want to say, but my fingers can't keep up with my brain. And my brain can't sort through the muddled mess up there. So I'm starting off slowly. There are some issues, thoughts, feelings and concepts I'd love to blow your mind about. I'm not sure if I'll get there in this post... so be patient with me!
The biggest thing right now: if you look at the title of this blog, you'll see the whole, "I'm thinking about changing". And if you're wondering what it's about... I'm thinking about changing up my blog. Maybe starting a new one. I'm looking for ideas on what to blog about. I have a few ideas, but haven't gotten the nerve to tackle it just yet. I'd love some suggestions! I'm going to keep my ideas a secret for now... but keep an eye out for the big change!
So for now, you have a brief overview of my "new" life. I'm loving being married and loving living near the beach with my wonderful husband and my puppy!
I'm working in the restaurant industry, again. NOT loving my job. But I am looking for radio or television work. It's just a process!
I still long to dance... and will be looking into dance classes or even jobs as a dance teacher!
Life is a rollercoaster ride. You either enjoy it or you don't. So choose to embrace it. Throw your hands up in the air, instead of shutting your eyes and holding on for dear life!
