:: some people's kids ::

So my mom came to visit last weekend and she bought me some new pots for my birthday. The fun part is that no one here really believes they're mine because I never cook. But I showed them! I used them for the first time tonight to make Kraft Dinner!! *LOL* The jokes on you my friends.

Aren't you proud of me mom?!

:: early bird ::

Today was a typical weekday... or so I thought.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off only to hit the snooze for an additional 15 minutes of sleep, and 15 minutes later I forced myself out of bed. Like every other morning I tried not to wake my roommate while I headed to the bathroom to shower, change and put on my face for the day. I miraculously squeezed in a few extra minutes before I had to drag myself down the street to catch the bus, so after skimming through the cupboards and wrestling with plastic bags I managed to pack myself a half decent lunch and headed out the door into the cold January air.

Just like the day before my street was calm and my thoughts were on the memories of a warm bed. That is until I reached the hill of the last block because this was where my calves started to burn and I tried to remind myself that this was probably a good thing.

Eventually I made it to the bus stop and I slipped into the shelter to wait with the company of my iTunes. The bus appeared a few minutes late like always and, like always, I stumbled into a window seat as the bus pulled away.

10 minutes later I found myself back on the street fighting thoughts of my face possibly shattering into a million pieces because of the brittle wind. But soon after those thoughts were replaced with contemplating the amount of change I had left in my wallet for a nice warm cafe mocha. That's when I decided to say good morning to Mr. Startbucks before reaching my final destination.

But as I crossed the threshold of the front doors something was wrong. My boss looked at me with a questionable glare and asked, "What are you doing here?"... Suddenly I realized that there had been a chemical imbalance in my head when I woke up and I heard the sound of my stupidity growing stronger with laughter... "Wha?... I don't work this morning?!."

Every day we learn something new. Today was no exception. Today taught me the value of knowing the days of the week and the importance of numerical accuracy! Don't take it for granted people. It could save your life... Or at least a few hours of sleep!

CHEER UP you are worse off then you figure.
I love the way I always see who you could be.

STAND UP you are stronger then you figure.
You just need to be surrounded by those who believe in you.

All the stars are waiting for you to shine.
And your heart is beating to find it's home in mine.

All creation waits for you to take your place.

WAKE UP it's time to dream bigger.
