10 [minus 1] Things On A Monday

What a Monday.
1. A roommate I had lined up to move in this past weekend just backed out. Now I've got to come up with $600 extra by Saturday. Great!
2. The boss-man is being extra moody today. We're already all stressed and under tight deadlines, not sure I need this today.
3. Art night with Ms. Artsy was canceled because of some stuff she's got to deal with. Would have been nice to chill with her and do art, but I'm almost somewhat relieved because of how stressed out I am.
4. On a better note, my ex roomie got engaged last week. Happy for him!
5. Things with me and the boy, we'll call him Mr. C, are amazing and I couldn't ask for anything to be better :)
6. Our offices flooded with sewage (yes, you read that right) last week, so everyone is just now getting back to it. Doesn't help with the already crunched timelines.
7. Was just in San Francisco last weekend/week. I went on an amazing bike ride around the bay and in to Sausilio and Tiburon. Met some amazing people there. Here's a pic:

8. I absolutely, positively LOVE my graphic designer. He is frickin amazing at what he does and somehow deciphers what I mean when I verbally tell him all the crazy stuff I want to do. :)
9. I've also been going to dance classes with one of Mr. C's friends. We've been having a fantastic time with it and I'm sore for the next day after (which is a GREAT thing!)


That's all I've got... gotta get back at it!

PS - It's been, uhhh, interesting to start this whole blog thing again. Just so you know :)

Now that it's been a year...

... well, almost. Maybe a little over.

I can't say that I'm "back" but I can say that I have somewhat of an urge to start writing again. So many things have happened in this one year. Part of me wishes they'd already been written down here, but part of me is glad they were written the way they were... transformed into art.

Yes, that's right. I've become an artist.

For the past few years I've been exceptionally good at being numb to my feelings - anything and everything that comes along with that. A few events this past February lead me to do some inner soul searching and introspection.

Last night, while doing art with Mrs. Artsy, we pulled cards. That's something we usually do, and it's just for fun. Sometimes it's shocking to see that it's pertinent to what's going on in life... but aren't they all? They're just so vague and your brain can work its magic to transform what it's saying to be relevant to you.

This one I pulled, however, applies to my therapy.

By meditating on a past issue with new wisdom and insight and an acceptance of personal responsibility and forgiveness, reclamation may take place. A spiritual re-amalgamation of a facet of the individual's personality, for the purposes of clearing and self-empowerment, may be possible, and a healthy union in the soul the result. Reassurance is gained from a reunion of this nature, revealing whether the correct path was taken and your decisions were based on valid and honest instincts and motivations.

Well isn't that telling?!

I can say, now that I look back and read some things from this blog. I read different books, I challenge myself with different things, I occupy my time differently... and it's all for the better. I'm happy and I'm so glad I've found myself.

PS. I also have a ridiculously amazing boyfriend. Definitely going to need a pseudonym for him ;)
