Yay!  Me in Video Format!  haha.  Short and sweet.  Kisses!

Howdy ya’ll.

I miss home.  Well.. maybe not “home” – but the people who live in what I call home.  I miss you guys!  I’m missing so much of your lives.  Your children are growing up and I’m not there to see it  That makes me sad.  I have several babies that I haven’t even met yet!  Danielle’s Averi… Kristy’s Landon… my cousin Krystal’s Madison… My other cousin Michael’s Michael Jr…  I’m sure there are many more too!

My “little” cousin Zak (he’s 6’6″) went off to college this year.  I remember teaching him how to play basketball when I was 10 and he was 4.  I haven’t seen him in years.  It’s so strange to think about what I’ve missed.  I left Indiana at 18 to go to college in Florida.  I was there for 3.5 years and so much changed!  My friends got married, had kids, bought or built houses, etc.  And now here’s little ole me – in Los Angeles… playing career-woman.  Compared to all of you, I feel like I’m playing dress-up!  You all have grown so much, and I’m so proud to call you my friends and family.  I hope that me being out here is worth missing these precious moments in your lives.  I suppose they really don’t even compare because if I could be 10 places at once… I’d have 3 of me here, and 7 of me there with you guys.  I really LOVE when you send me pictures and videos and cards of what’s new in your life.  You all have been my support system and the web that I walk on – see I love you guys so much that I don’t even make sense  I hope that I have touched your lives as much as you have touched mine.  You are all so special, and I just wanted to take a moment and let you know.  I’m trying to do you all proud out here!

Kisses,

-Me-

As I sit here on yet another work day, I find myself sinking into the quicksand that has become my boredom. I’m yawning probably every 5 minutes… Stretching every 15… Just trying to get myself awake enough to at least pretend that I’m enjoying myself – Waving to people as they walk past my door, answering the phone in a happy voice, etc. But I’ve come to realize that Boredom trumps Caffeine every time! I could probably drink 10 Rockstars and be tired the instant that I sit here in silence for 10 minutes… Maybe only 8 even! So why is that? I’ve been thinking about this. Why you ask? See the first line of this blog

So basically, your mind controls your body, correct? So without some sort of mental challenge or insight or activity even, we’re understimulated, bored, and tired. Our body does what our mind tells it to do. If it doesn’t tell it anything, then what have we left? This makes total sense to me. But to you, this could all be crazy talk and totally out of left field – Cause I’m tired and haven’t the energy to proofread.

Kisses.
