A picture of you and the person you've been closest to the longest I know that is actually two people. These are my two Amys (my step-mom's name is Amy too, lots of Amys in my life). The one on the left is my cousin Amy, who I've known since birth. Technically she should be the only one in the picture with me, but to me they both qualify. She and I lived on opposite sides of the state growing

So, I know I've said this before (nearly a year ago) that I was going to stop neglecting my little space here in the interwebz. I've failed miserably, obviously. In an effort to start writing again I'm going to do the "30 Day Photo Challenge" blog style. I know it is a total rip off of a FB thing, but whatevs. Also, I am going to attempt to make my blog a place of positivity. I've discussed my

So, I've totally neglected my little corner of the blogsphere for the past couple of months. I've been pretty busy, but that is really no excuse. I just haven't made the time, or used my free time wisely. I gave myself a little facelift. I attempted to be creative and make my own background, but got in a fight with photoshop, and photoshop won. So I took the easy way out and found one on the

It’s been pretty exciting in southern Louisiana the past couple weeks. You may have heard our team is going to the super bowl for the first time in history and we are pretty pumped up about the whole thing. I realize there are plenty of fair-weather fans out there, but many of us have been waiting a long time for this. Personally I’ve been waiting 27 years, but my dad has been waiting since 1967

I've been blessed with my monthly visitor this week, which I should be happy about because it means I'm not knocked up (side note: I've watched too many episodes of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant so I am now paranoid that I could be pregnant anyway, but I digress...). I was useless yesterday and had to leave work early. Of course this has to happen on one of the two weeks of the year that it is

Or, rather, the lack thereof. Generally speaking we have quite mild winters. I hate the cold so this suits me just fine. We don’t reach freezing temperatures all that often, and rarely stay there for long when we do. I can count the number of times it has snowed here in my lifetime on less than one hand. Just for reference, and to give you northern folks a laugh, this is an example of a major

I've had a pretty good week overall. Went to yoga twice, which really makes a difference in my week. I am pretty high strung, and it forces me to chill out and mentally unwind, even if it is only for an hour. I'd go again tonight, but there isn’t a class at my gym this evening. I've been ruminating on who I am, what I want out of my life, and who I want to be. I realized I have been focusing on

 Its that time of year again, where we set our personal goals for the next year. To be perfectly honest I don’t usually set resolutions. I always figured it’s not like I‘m going to do them anyway, so why bother setting unrealistic expectations of myself. BUT this year I am going to turn over a new leaf and set realistic goals that I will actually work to attain. I realize that we are nearly a

Instead of focusing on the negative (the fact that I woke up to a dog poop explosion all over my apartment & that the weather is truly frightful [tornados and what not]) I am going to make an attempt at merriment. I am very much looking forward to tomorrow. I will see my aunt, uncle and cousins from Indiana. I don't get to see them very often, and both of my cousins have recently fought cancer.

Had a fairly good weekend. A friend of mine came in from Austin, TX, on her way to Florida, so I got to hang out with her. Which made me realize how much I miss my girlfriends. After graduating they all moved away, and I don't see them very often. I haven't laughed like that in quite a while, Saturday was fabulous. I met up with her and a couple of other guys I used to hang out with in college.

Take time to thank a soldier today for defending the freedoms we enjoy. Today I am thinking of my family and friends who have or are currenty serving our country.

Don't get me wrong, I love her, she gave birth to me and led me somewhat successfully into adulthood. BUT, she drives me crazy. She still sees me as the infant she gave birth to, and therefore feels the need to judge my every life decision,

A few days ago, I'm doing my favorite evening activity, sitting on the sofa watching tv. I know it's kinda sad that watching tv is one of my favorite activities, but I just can't help myself. I probably need tv addicts anonymous....Anyway, I'm on the sofa and I feel something on my leg. It's an ant, up in my pants, on my knee. Not cool. Next day. Sick.

I was very fortunate that my parents were willing and able to throw me birthday parties every year, whatever kind of party I wanted, within reason of course. I always looked forward to my birthday. This year I’ve been dreading it. As it turns out today hasn’t been so bad. It was like any other day really. In fact it was kind of pleasant apart from the

I don't have the best memory, but there are some days that impact your life in such a profound way, you know life as you know it will be changed forever, and you cannot forget.I remember it was a Tuesday morning sophomore year of college, my first class of the day, women and gender studies, began at 1030am.

Ahhhhh heath care reform. I'm not going to get all political here, or give my personal opinion on the current reform congress is discussing. I would, however like to address the pharmaceutical industry, or rather the lack of addressing the pharmaceutical industry in the heath care reform discussion. I believe they play a MAJOR role in the problems we as a country face when discussing heath care

The past two weeks have been a little crazy. Two weeks ago I was on staycation. I had dreams of cleaning and organizing some things in my apt, and relaxing, reading a book or two. Those dreams were dashed when my a/c broke that Saturday night. Well I usually stay at the ex boyfriend's house on the weekend, so I called my apartment complex to tell them the a/c was broke.

So, I have made some progress since my last post. I went to the gym last week, a few times, okay only twice, but I have to start somewhere right? I've made excuses the past couple days, but I am definitely going to yoga tonight, it keeps me sane. I have put some thought into the whole hobby business, and I've come up with a couple of things I think are financially feasible, and more importantly

1. Diet - and by diet i don't mean I am on a diet. I pay attention to what I eat, and eat as healthily as I can. I try to eat as many fresh fruits and veggies as possible, and try to avoid eating anything that contains ingredients that I cannot pronounce, and are obviously not natural. A side note to unnatural ingredients, go read the ingredient list on margarine, it's appalling and does not

I am a pessimist. I struggle everyday to overcome my pessimism, but I usually loose. So I wonder am I just a negative person, was I born this way, or was it my upbringing? Really I feel like it is a toss up. I think it could go either way or maybe a little of both.My parents (my mom & step-dad, who I lived with growing up) are two of the most negative people I know. They can always highlight the
