As young adults, there is so much expected of us. There are days where you have to multi-task things that really shouldn't be done at the same time; Like filing your nails while driving. I'm a believer in enjoying everything you do and never doing anything simply because you think you "should." But this doesn't apply if you're a slacker. Being lazy is lame.

You know you're an idiot when...

  • You lose your keys in your backpack (at least a week of searching)
  • You lose your camera in your backpack (a few months of searching, granted this backpack was not commonly used)
  • You lose your iPod in your backpack (luckily it was less than 24 hours of searching)
  • The jump-rope gets stuck under your hair while hundreds of girls are watching
  • You back into a rather large dumpster
  • You wear a shirt on inside out and/or backwards, not noticing for at least an hour
  • You get stuck in a revolving door with your rolling suitcase

Clothing Shopping, an adventure men never have to worry about...

A few months ago I was in a shop on my lunch break, and found the sale rack. There was a shirt that was labeled $4. It was cute, so I picked it up and took it to the dressing room. It fit! Sweet, 4 dollar shirt, can't argue with that. It has long sleeves, and since the purchase was in the summer, it just wasn't suitable unless I wanted to roast. A few days later I was itching to wear it for an evening out so I put it on and looked in the mirror. Wait a second. . .I lifted up the front of the shirt a little bit. The front seemed to be longer in the front than the back. . . My eyes went wide and I started laughing. It's a maternity shirt!

Guess I'll save it for later.

I'm grateful...

I have a friend who keeps a running tab on all the things she is grateful for. Some are so random you think, 'oh, life is nicer with that'. Following her example, I will periodically post something I am grateful for. Sometimes we get so bogged down with life and responsibilities, and things we aren't or don't have yet, that the best remedy is to step back and ponder what we already are and have, how life has brought us to where we are, and how much we have already grown. We are a society of "never enough." Today, this is sufficient for me.

To be able to sing. It's a stress reliever, a way to express emotion, and to communicate with others when words are not enough. I'm not a fabulous soloist, but have been blessed with the opportunity to sing in awesome choirs for the past few years. It brings social opportunities with those who have similar interests. It's a talent, hobby, and love. Vocal chords require no case to be carried around in. Breaking into song may scare some people, but it's a love that just must be shared.
