THINGS THAT KEEP ME UP AT NIGHT


I've been laying in bed for the last two hours, feeling restless. I don't know if it's the excitement of decorating the Christmas tree with mom today or the first sounds of Christmas music on the radio, but I'm anxious and wanting/needed to be somwhere--i just don't know. somewhere else maybe?


So here is a list of things that keep me up at night....


worrying where I am going to be in 10 years

will i have a full time job next year

thinking about friends i haven't seen in awhile

television

good books (I'm reading Time Traveler's Wife right now and I can't put it down)

waiting for Fred to say "I love you ,goodnite"

money

if am living my life right... up to my potential

trying to get that Jennifer Aniston body

hoping and praying I will finally meet John Mayer

why isn't my bed as comfortable as Fred's

polar bears -- they're going endangered and they're my favorite animal in the entire world

a lasting love

family

a clear complexion

i want to travel the world, but where do i really wanna go?

wishing it was summer

BED

It's a Saturday night and I'm curled up in bed reading a book. I just started reading John Grisham's book KING OF TORTS and I'm loving it. Good thing my dad has a whole book shelf of John. Drake is curled up next to me and I'm content. I love nights like these.

I also got frontrow row seats today for John Mayer's concert in DC & Charlottesville.

And next weekend I'm spending time with the boyfriend. It will be relaxing considering I've been living day to day by deadlines for projects and tests to study for.I hope in the end it's all worth it.

Goodnight blog.

UPDATE*

I'm terrible at updating this blog, so since it's a rainy, gloomy day outside this will be a good time to do it.

Since the last time I wrote Denise and Stuart got hitched! They were married on October 24th and the ceremony was beautiful. No surprise that Denise look stunning in her wedding dress, and both her and Stuart's faces glowed with how much they truly love one another all night. Her wedding pictures turned out fantastic. Our friend Jessica was the wedding photographer and I will for sure be booking her in the future for my big day.

It was nice to get together with all the girls from Bridgwater over the past month for the bridal shower, bachlorette party and wedding. It really makes me miss college and being so close to everyone. I'm turning 24 December 9th. I can't believe it. I feel like this year has flown by. I'm not even one bit excited about Christmas because I have been so busy with school. HOWEVER after this semester I will be done and can relax!!!!! Still, I gotta study my butt off over christmas break for my exit exam I'm taking January 4th. This exam is really important, because I have to pass it in order to receive my Paralegal Certificate. I am so ready to be done with school and to find a job. I hate that everyone still makes fun of me because I'm still in school or don't technically have a real job. But I know I'll be probably be workin for the next 40 years of my life so better enjoy living at home, and not working while I can.

Fred also just moved to Arlington. It's a lot closer to his work and he's living with 3 of friends; Pat, Daniel, and Nate. All the guys have grown up together and Fred seems to be enjoying being out of his parents house. I just HAAAAATTTTTTE the traffic in DC. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting Fred up there, the bars, and the atmosphere but I just hate the traffic. Fred says I have to get use to it because that's where he's gonna be the rest of his life. I dunno. I guess living in DC will be fun one day... IF I can take the metro and find a nice paying job up there. I'm sure some of my bestfriends will hate that I'm living Richmond, but I've never wanted to stay here forever. We'll see.... Fred and I have only been together for 2 years so I still got plenty of time to decide my future.

So yeah. Again, I'm spending my weekend working on school stuff. I'm tryin to get a project done this weekend that's due after Thanksgiving. I don't think I'm even going to have time to celebrate my birthday this year! I'm going to see Fred next weekend, and then after that who knows when I'll see him. Unless he surprises me for my birthday.

The only thing I'm really looking forward to is this semester being OVER and for me to pass my exit exam. I'm also poor. Sooo I don't know how i'm going to manage getting Christmas gifts this year. OH WELL.
