The Dog Ate My Homework...so I'm Going to Ramble....

Normally I would be doing my writing assignment today, but you know I just.don't.feel.like.it. I have been so blah these past couple of days and I just can't get my creative juices flowing..... so, sorry MamKat, but the dog ate my homework and I can't turn it in today!!


I feel like I need a plan....I always work better with a plan. Right now, I feel a bit out of control and I don't like that...so I need to make a plan and work it. I can't stand negative vibes and dark clouds. I am a happy person, who tries to make the best out of any situation....and I need my life to be back to that place....otherwise I am going to burst.....seriously!! Do any of you know the Linkin Park song "One Step Closer"...? There is a line in the lyrics that says "I'm one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break"; well, I feel like that right now!! Not about everything in my life...just certain things!!!

I am trying to plan a trip up north to visit my grandmother...and to visit my mother's grave!! She is in Indiana and I'd like to get up there in the next couple of months...I think a get away would be very good right now!! How late in the year does it snow up north?? Does it stop around February or March?? Not to sound ignorant, but here in Florida, I don't know anything about snow and how long it lasts... :)

We have a DVD player in my truck and each time we put a new movie in we usually end up watching 2 0r 3 or 20 times before we switch to a new one... anyway, right now we are watching (well, I am listening) High School Musical and I have to say, as silly as it sounds, I really like it; the songs are upbeat and make me laugh!! So, this morning we were listening to it and during one of the songs, I looked up in the rearview mirror and Ethan, Joseph and Angie were all singing their little hearts out.... and bopping their heads to the beat.... TOO CUTE!!

I get my nails done evry couple of weeks and while I'd love to go by myself and have an hour of quiet time, Angie has now taken a liking to being pampered too.... so, from now on, every time I go, she gets to do this:
Ok, Ok.... I'm out of here now...got to go to lunch with my dad!!! Happy Thursday!!

I'm having a little bout with depression righ tnow too. I think every few months we go through some sort of feelings that are out of the norm, especially after the holidays. You've been through a lot in the past few months, you're entitled to some funk. You will get through this with the help of your wonderful family and friends!
As a person who lives in Nebraska, I can tell you that snow is very unpredictable! Today is 40 and sunny, tomorrow is gonna 20 with snow flurries! To be safe, plan your trip in April. If there is snow, it should be damn near gone by then.
