In case you weren't already aware, I am an extremely emotional person. I cry at World Vision or Save the Polar Bears commercials. I cry when reading almost any book. I cry in most movies, especially Disney movies. I get super upset with Matthew's driving or when people don't use their turn signals or change lanes to get ahead of traffic then weasel their way back in when they need to turn. I get so upset over that, more so than I should. When I am excited about something I start talking really, really fast and tend to get loud too. I read into everything around me and the world is always either out to get me, or my best friend. Just some lovely examples. So, I now feel the need to apologize for any emo-ness, angered moments, or whiny soliloquies that might appear on this lovely little webpage. I tend to wear my heart of my sleeves (a character trait that often got me in trouble in high school) and it all comes out in this, my electronic journal. You think this is bad, try reading my paper journal sometime! No, I'm generally not opposed to people reading my journals as long as I know about it ahead of time. Some of the boys read my junior high journals once in high school... they got quite the kick out of it as they were mentioned several times!

Alright, disclaimer notice over. I have been doing a study on Esther with a small group of lovely ladies. The more I learn the more the face of a certain friend of mine appears. I think this is the highest compliment I can give her. Maybe someday I'll tell her. She is seriously one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out. I've known her since junior high, but we're not super close friends. We're better friends now than we ever were in high school simply because we're both married and I've discovered that on facebook, when you have something in common with others it magically draws you together when in real life you'd never talk to each other after graduation. So maybe someday I'll send her a nice message telling her she reminds me of Esther. It makes me wonder who I remind people of? I have absolutely no idea, but it definitely wouldn't be Esther!

I bought a beautiful turquoise necklace today. Forever 21 just opened in the mall where The Gap was. A suitable exchange I guess, though I would have preferred The Gap remaining open. I have been looking for a good turqoise beaded necklace. It makes me happy. I'm also looking for three dresses for this summer. I thought I had found the perfect one. The full skirt was beautiful with a perfect print for what I needed... but the top was this cotton spandex material that Matt said looked like a sports bra when it was on. I was torn. It was half perfect and maybe I could find a short sleeved shrug to go over the top portion? But decided against it. It's so hard finding dresses that are dressy but not so much that I wouldn't also wear them to church or on any given day. But also that fit me well. But I do love dress shopping!

I placed my first Avon order this week. A mom at the preschool is a seller. I got two nail polishes and two lipsticks. I absolutely love my purchases! I'm tempted to try their makeup and skin cleansers as well, but I'll wait. I've used all Covergirl makeup since junior high and it hasn't failed me yet. But maybe it is time for a change? Decisions decisions. I know, it is just os important what makeup I use! But makeup is an important part of a females life. I don't like my complexion so makeup for me right now is a must, but I am very excited for the day I am finally confident enough to go bare faced. Once babies come along I doubt I'll have the time to beautify! Oh for the day!

Laundry is almost done. I'm putting off cleaning the house until tomorrow. Most of today was spent catching up on much needed sleep. I'm finally feeling 100% again but I've felt so exhausted the past couple days because I got little sleep while I was sick. So today was my day of rest. Tomorrow will be household chores day. And I finally get to go back to church!

Cheerfully.
