Who knows....

Maybe one day I won't feel like I fall short of every expectation ever placed on me, my own included.

CHHHYEEAAH!!!!

I just took off over a week in September for vacation! To the Caribbean!!!

Leave the Port of Miami on Sep. 6th bound for the Turks & Caicos, Half Moon Cay, & Nassau! Don't get back from the islands until the 11th!!!! A WEEK TO RELAX!!!!

WAAAAAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I'm off to google pictures of my destination and rub celabratory sunblock in. =P haha

Awesomeness. =)

Had to pull over

Well, as I'm driving to see a movie at a place called Movie Tavern (basically a restaurant and theater combined, with tables in front of very comfy reclining seats) I think repeatedly about the email I got on my phone a little earlier in the evening.. Normally not a big deal right? (As I've been much better about phone usage during driving for obvious reasons, not including the law passing here finally) thing is, the email couldn't have come at a more ridiculous time. This particular email, and this particular destination have something in common. I was *in Tucker Georgia while reading an email from someone I used to be close to, telling me she's going to be *in Tucker Georgia for six weeks.

Every night of "progress" as I ignore and reject someone called into question.

Every single night I haven't answered slapping me in the face calling me an idiot for believing in whatever we were.

I'm even questioning bringing it up now, since I've had advice to change my email and phone number to avoid the triggers that tempt me into ignoring what she does to me.

House of cards, why do you keep rebuilding? The wind is sure to come again, and your base is flimsy. Surely you must be worth more than parlor tricks and a cheat up some sly woman's sleeve? The jester laughs with indignation, his court of fools amused at his simple mind. How long must he be played indeed?

Sunday Funday!!!!!!!!!

Today had purpose, Autism Awareness Fundraiser at Atlantic Station complete with 2.2 mile walk around the shopping district close to a very trendy spot near the Ikea store I do so love. Live bands, activities for children of all stages of development, face painting, crazy hair stations, ice baths full of bottled water being handed out in the blistering sun. Out on the blacktop the event was held on. (Question that idea, but it's over now) met up with several family/extended family members (of which one was our walk team captain, and also the mother of an Autistic son named Liam. Hence, our team, and team shirts (all bright neon green with the puzzle piece logo covered by "Liam's League" separated us from the crowd. Mitzi, Mindi, Kim (and husband with three other children) Kristi, and a mutual friend I've been getting to know better lately ;) haha. So basically mother and her daughters (and friend), myself, Edwin, Shellie and David. Ended up leaving about 8:15 (even though I'm doubted the whole way there, it gets us in to the registration area quickly, and all fundraising/self donating out of the way to enjoy the activities and help others with their children. =) "I win". Since we got there so early, and were all out in the sun so long, we decided it best to skip the walk, and helped with a few last details (like watching little Olivia on the moon bounce. *adorable. Still handing out water all the while, we part ways with our group and head for the house to change. *why? Ummmmm. Only the water park we've been awaiting being open a mere two days! *chhhyeah! White Water Adventures Away!. Spent just about the rest of the afernoon there, all sorts of log flumes, tube rides, lazy rivering, wave pooling, sunning and swimming fools we were!!!!!

I'm currently riding back now, having been told I'm a bit burnt, don't feel it, but that's nothing new. =P (they're jealous of my Italian sun absorbtion), possibly how the weights are working (uh-huh, I can see the difference in looks, why not be proud of it) =) but most definitely how I am still wanting to be swimming and running around the park instead of being pooped like the rest of 'em. (Wimps I swear).

Overall? Feel good about giving my time/energy/donations to a good cause that personally effects people I know, and excellent about how we unwound afterwards. *yepper. Feeling great, can't wait to head back again soon!!!

All of this is reminding me I need to call someone.. L8erz!!
