i had every intention of writing a whiny post about feeling stressed and nostalgic and overwhelmed and underwhelmed and just plain whelmed all at once. but then i came across this website.
the chill out song.
read the story. listen to the samples. download the song.
the kindness of strangers is just outstanding, and the song really is the perfect "audio-hug."
and friends?
hey.
you're okay.
you'll be fine.
just breathe.

an observation
when the question is "so what's new with you?"
the answer "i'm doing some community theatre"
is NEVER as exciting as
"i'm engaged!"

so i'm talking to a friend from high school on facebook
we went to school together from 3rd grade through graduation and were always fairly decent friends, but lost touch when we went to college. he was the first boy i ever had a crush on, back in 3rd grade (young love is SO TBF). now he's engaged and living in europe for work, and i'm [perpetually] single and living with my parents, so his side of the conversation is WAY more interesting than mine, obvi. but he said this and it made me smile.
"i wanted to get your autograph before we graduated high school so i could send my kids to college with it once you made it big, i dont think i ever actually got one but i bet you could sign my old yearbook and convince people you signed it back then."
PRECIOUS! look, i mean, i know he's engaged...but we really HAD something in 3rd grade...at least until "tiffany" (not her real name) decided to tell the whole class i had a crush on him and he stopped talking to me for a week. WHATEVER YALL.
anyway, its nice when old friends come back into your life and encourage you when you don't expect it. :)

TBF FTW!
remember that time i went to an audition wearing a peacock dress? turns out i totes got the role! tacky but fabulous wins again!!
vulture.
i'm totally over dove chocolates.
and by that i mean, of course i love dove chocolates as much as the next girl and of course i will continue buying and eating them in large quantities. i'm just kind of done with the cheesy inspirational sayings that are printed on the insides of the wrappers. because lets face it. when i buy a big bag of dark chocolate, its usually because i am in an awful mood (because its that time of the month, or its raining, or i screwed up an audition, or its a monday or something) and i have every intention of sitting on the couch and devouring the entire bag. i just want to fall into a chocolate coma while watching a lifetime movie and lamenting my life, which i really don't think is too much to ask, AMIRIGHT??!? and the last thing i need is to read a high-and-mighty candy wrapper that says "don't put off until tomorrow what could be done today!" or "in every girl is a caterpillar, waiting to become a butterfly" or "reach for the moon! even if you miss, you will land among the stars!"
really, dove? thanks. that really inspires me - inspires me to PUNCH A BABY.
so i'm thinking of starting my own line of chocolates called vulture, because a vulture is pretty much the opposite of a dove. a dove is all about olive branches and peace and harmony and blah blah blah. a vulture is at the customer service desk at the airport complaining about why it can only have one carrion.* MY KIND OF BIRD, YALL.
vulture chocoloates will have sayings on the wrappers, too.
sayings like "that thing you're worried about? it happened."
and "some people die in terrible car fires."
and "YOU'RE ADOPTED."
those are the kind of chocolate wrapper sayings i can get behind.
*get it? like a carry-on? only its carrion because vultures eat dead things? GET IT???

a lovely friday
it is absolutely beautiful outside! unfortunately, i am staying inside because the oak pollen level is CODE RED (or whatever the pollen level equivalent of code red is - suffice to say, there is a lot of pollen up in here) and my allergies simply aren't standing for it. but i have the blinds open with sunlight streaming in through the windows, and i'm listening to my newly created "spring 2010" playlist and reading a new book and drinking a diet pepsi and it is just a lovely situation.
and i'm pretty much obsessed with these azaleas that are blooming in our front yard. SOOO pretty!! sigh. i miss spring in waco...but spring in houston isn't too bad. :)

good news, guys.
my life might be a hot mess sometimes, and by sometimes i mean all the time.
but i am fairly certain i will never be as tragic as these unfit girls on 16 and pregnant.
and for that i am TOTES thankful.

Christ the Lord is risen today!
Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.”
So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.
And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
--Matthew 28:1-10, NKJV
