Back to School?

So this week is my last week in the District Attorney's office... and let me tell you, that has been an experience. The people that I have met and the crazy experiences I have had have been priceless. But with the end of that ushers in a different time of the year.... back to school.

You know it is back to school time when every time that you go to Target your sandwiched in between Mom's with sad looking children whose carts are filled with binders, paper, pens, pencils, and the new lunch boxes that we all waited so eagerly for as children.

Then you stop and think.... wait a second... its only July! No one is going back to school right now, what the hell. These children should be outside enjoying their last remnants of summer, not in a poorly lit discount department store contemplating whether it is better to go mechanical or number 2 pencils. I'm sorry people, I just think this is a sign of us all moving a little too fast! Slow down people, enjoy life, you only get one.

As a student my self, I will not be buying school supplies for perhaps 2 more weeks... leaving me a comfortable 2 weeks before school starts. That seems reasonable. What does not see reasonable is when I go to buy my school supplies in mid-August, the hottest month of the year... I am going to be accosted by Christmas decorations adorning my stores.

The moral of the story is, while its perfectly acceptable to lead a fast paced life (I certainly do), lets not rush into the next big event. Take everyday for what it is, because you never know when it will be your last!

Now I am off to lunch with my ladies....Taking it one day at a time....Happy Monday!

A Change...

So I was debating what I wanted to blog about this week because there were SOOOOOOO many interesting things... some of my possible topics included:

1. Adult's who act like Children
2. Why would you think that would be a good idea?
3. You are doing that thing even as you tell me you are not doing it.
4. We weren't even that good of friends anyway.
5. Adios Harry Potter
6. Really? You are going to cry?
7. And last but not least, my personal favorite... Why the turkey burger at Carl's Jr. is perhaps the best  fast food that has ever existed.

While all of these topics are fabulous, and would lead to fantastic discussion in  future... I believe that change is the appropriate topic for the week.

I need a change in my life. Although things have been going fine... they are just not exciting anymore, and I can't stand the boredom. Life is for the living, and although my days have been spotted with some good times... I just don't feel like I am living life to the fullest.... therefore change is in the works people, and as soon as I know what that change is I will let you know! All I know is today marks the beginning of my new goal of seizing every opportunity and living life to the fullest. Happy Saturday People!

Friends...

I am a damn good friend. Yes, that sounds concieted, but truer words were never uttered. I am loyal to a fault, always there to help in a bind, and do everything I can to make life fun for the rest of us. Lately however, it seems like "friend" has lost its reciprocal meaning. To be a friend means to be there for someone, unconditionally. To go the extra mile to support them in whatever their paths may be. To make the EFFORT! This is the crucial point... I no longer feel like friends make the effort to be friends. They don't prioritize their friendships in any capacity. Now I may not have children, I may not be married, but I am an adult as well and realize that things change with time. People change. Friendships change. But this is no excuse for letting friendships that are so deep rooted that we once considered each other family fall by the way side.

So here is the deal. I am done with bitching about this and now am accepting this as fact. A sad fact, but a fact none the less. Friendships are maily self-sufficient, just every now and then requiring a little nurturing. So put in the effort people, because when the last person stops... there will be nothing left, and what a sad day that will be.

PS... this is not a reflection on any person in particular. I am fortunate enough to have some great friends. But the ones that are always there unconditionally... I can count them on one hand.

A spontaneous book review...

I just finished reading "I Love You Beth Cooper"... Let me tell you, although I have never seen the movie, it cannot be half as bad as the book. There is no ending. The book doesn't end. The book was suggested to be by my mother who could not say enough about how funny and smart it was, and how much she enjoyed it.

From the first page I thought to myself "when does this get smart, and even more than that, when does it get funny? " unfortunately, after I turned the last page I was still left asking the same question.

Stay away from this book to keep your sanity!

Everyone enjoy their 4th of July!!
