Manic Monday: The Great Debate

As mentioned previously, TF and I recently got a puppy. She has been a little trouble maker but I love her so much.

Now we have been running in to money troubles and debating giving our little rugrat back.

The truth us TF and I come from very different lifestyles. His family spontaneously spends while my family doesn't. His family has the newest gadgets and my family still has dialup Internet.

I am not saying either family is right or wrong and the truth is I'd like to be a happy balance of both lifestyles.

But I do think it's the spontaneous spending that got us here.

I am hope hope hoping thus is a learning experience fir both of us.

I just really adore this little one...

Manic Monday: The " I'm Not Good Enough" Entry that wasn't

So blogosphere, I have been feeling a little down lately… It’s an odd phenomenon that started happening to me in college. Being a particularly positive person for all of my life, one day I woke up and just didn’t feel right. Maybe I realized I was a girl and needed to start complaining more...

Whatever the case may be, I originally planned out this entry as venting… My oh my did I want people to feel sorry for me. But the truth is, there is no reason for anyone to feel sorry for me! So INSTEAD, I am using this as a personal catharsis, maybe it will inspire others… But I am going to remind myself of the ALREADY positives in my life AND THEN remind myself of the other things I am adding to my life to FURTHER improve my positivity.

POSITIVES!

My relationship… This was originally one of the things I was going to make you feel sorry for me about. But compared to a majority of the relationships that exist and I’ve witnessed, mine is not something that should bring me down!

My job… Most of the time. Listen, it’s not yet my dream job, but it is 156,789,123,574,897,412 times better than the last one! And I am so grateful for that. (Yes, that number was exactly calculated).

My friends/family… A given!

The wonderful adventures that have been planned for the rest of the summer. This was OF COURSE another complaint because literally every weekend from now until October is booked. Sure, being busy can be stressful but WHY ON EARTH would I complain about a trip to the beach, a trip to the Hamptons, a trip to Baltimore, a trip to Aruba, a pool party… Those are ALL extremely exciting events!

And the things I’m doing to amp up that positivity

1.       Going to the gym… I’ve never stuck with this because I never really needed to, but I am hoping it just makes me feel better
2.       Pursuing, pursuing, pursuing auditions!
3.       Spending quality time with TF and my adorable puppy!
4.       More reading and writing!
