Welcome

I used to blog, but after awhile it seemed like I didn't need it anymore. I use blogging as my journal. I don't usually write down my thoughts or feelings, but lately I've felt the need again. I guess I start this up, write a few things out, and see where it takes me. I can't guarantee this is going to be a lasting thing, but if it helps me process a few things along the way, then it was worth it.

I have a few things on my mind to write about, but I figured my first post should be light-hearted, so I don't freak anyone out. I'll ease you into my dark, twisted mind....

So, I had a happy thought today... I was driving downtown to view a potential new home, and the sun was out. It's amazing how the warmth from the sun can make you feel, hey? I have had so much on my mind lately, but it was warm out, the sun was bright, and I didn't care about anything else. I had my sunroof open (the heat was cranked up- because although it's "warm", it is still January), and I felt peaceful. I really love the summer time. Last summer I started to stop by the beach on the way home from work. There is this little place that not too many people know about, and I would bring my blanket and fall asleep on the grass as the sun went down.

My last visit there began so peacefully. I had just fallen asleep in the sun after a long day at work. There was no one there- I had the entire park all to myself. Just as I thought it couldn't get any better, and entire family drove up and parked their blanket literally inches behind mine. I couldn't believe it! There was an entire beach, and they were within touching distance. They were loud- kids were screaming, grandparents were arguing... etc. What were they thinking? I tried the tossing and turning thing, let out a few loud sighs, but nothing worked. I packed my stuff and went home, glaring at them all on the way out. If looks could kill...

I guess one bad experience isn't the end of the world. I have high hopes of the coming season. To entice the sun to come out a little more often I bought a new pair of capris and have been wearing them with sandals for the past few weeks. It hasn't worked until now, but I don't know if I can take credit for today's sun. The first day I put my jeans back on the sun comes out. My staff have been laughing at me lately, as I've been coming to work wearing capris, sandals, and a heavy-weight, Eddie Bauer fur-lined collar down parka. Quite a sight, I'm sure.
