i've been simpsonized!

this is a lot of fun... if you get it to work. i tried quite a few times before it worked. and when it finally did, it went pretty smoothly. i do not think they do anything with your picture, though. you costumize yourself. i felt like i was making a mii, which is loads of fun to do.

so go try it.

the oreo rule

oreos are yummy. they are quite great.














they are not good, however, to eat on your first day at a new job.

this would not be a wise choice.

others may think you have poor personal hygiene if you were to open your mouth wide.

i say, eat oreos at home. or in the presence of those that you will be spending time with. this keeps you in the clear.

or better yet, don't open your mouth wide... and brush your teeth.

that is all.

he's the best

friendship scales and such

as you get older your friendships become quite interesting... or should i say, friendships get quite intersting once you get married. actually, they become nonexistent.

this is a fact of life. seriously. don't be naive, dear friends.

if you will be honest, it starts when your relationship with your significant other becomes serious. your friends assume (which we all know what that leads to...) that you would rather hang out with your girlfriend or boyfriend. however, they still invite you guys along. life is still about a 8 (out of 10) in the life of friendships. but then, once you get engaged, you move to a different level. your friends assume you will be busy planning or wanting to spend time with your fiance. and yes, you have a new sense of responsibility and maturity, but lets be real... we all need a friend. so on the friendship scale it is about a 5 or 6. and it keeps going down until the day you get married. and then you are on a different planet it seems. your friends assume you would rather be spending time with your hubby or wife. which is all good, but again, it is good to have friends. on the scale it is about a 2 or 3. seriously. only being 21 and married, i have managed to keep one close friend. and we rarely spend time together. my interests have changed, i will admit. i no longer desire to talk about cute boys and such, i have my own thank you. but, i still love to dance, have good conversation, have fun, and just hang out. i don't have cooties. i am just married.

i can only imagine what it is like for those who have children...

i guess it is a cycle that continues on. maybe your only friend is supposed to be your significant other and your children. ha.

i should put out a personal ad. that says,
'married couple seeks friends:
if you don't like pina coladas and you like to play the wii,
if you're not into rap, and have a whole brain,
if you don't like staying up to midnight,
we're the friends that you have searched for, meet us and we can play... the wii.'

new horizons and perspectives

for the first time in a long time, i had a good day at work. i felt a burst of confidence from my out-of-character outburst towards a nurse thurday morning. i stood up for myself. and it felt good. i may not have been my normal polite self, but it felt kinda good. i laughed. a lot. and it was fun. i am thinking i may just miss this job. that is something i never thought possible. i even teared up saying bye to the residents i became close to. but it was a season, and i start my new job on tuesday.

i feel i owe this all to making a choice. making an effort everyday to be postive. i am realizing i am finding happiness in places i never knew i could. i am realizing that all these little stepping stones will one day definitely lead me to where i want to be. and that makes my heart glad.

lately, with each new day, i am learning more about myself. i feel as though i am finally stepping outside the circle i was wandering aimlessy around, and am finally going down my own path. life really can be quite great. it is all on how you look at it.
