Things I've realized this week.....

1. There are a lot of crazy drivers on the road. This realization has always been there for me but became even more clear during the 2 hours I spend on I-85 everyday and after having a minor fender-bender last week in 5:00 traffic. I get more and more nervous driving everyday!

2. I give people the benefit of the doubt too much. Those who probably don't deserve it but for some reason I forgive and forget too easily. Yes, I know I should forgive but I don't always have to forget.

3. People never cease to amaze me, both in good and bad ways.

4. I'm a big OCD and a perfectionist at work but can't seem to keep my house cleaned and organized and sometimes I don't really care. How is this?

5. I need to get my life more organized and on track.

6. I only have a little over a month until I turn 31! There are so many things that I wanted to accomplish in my life by now that I havn't. Am I really this old already???

7. I need to travel more even though I don't like spending the night away from home. I love my bed and the comfort of my house.

8. I need to really start training if I want to do the Cooper River Bridge Run this year. Well, maybe I'll just walk it.

9. I still haven't posted pictures of the house since I've moved in. If you read #4 you might figure out why. I'm still trying to get it organized and decorated. Maybe I will just shove everything in a close so it looks clean enough for pictures :)

10. This was a long, hard week and I am hoping for snow Tuesday (if they are still predicting it now)

I'm moved!

After two months of renovating my house, I finally was able to move in January 1st! Yay for a New Year!! It was a hectic move, though. I only had New Year's Day off and it was only me, my Mom and my Dad moving all of my furniture. HA! I knew this was going to be rough. 9am on the dot, my Dad is ready to go. We started and after SEVERAL trips back and forth from my parents house to mine, I was moved. I still have a good bit of random things to move or trash but at least the majority of my stuff is there. So, that was Thursday. I worked Friday and the family went out to dinner Friday night. Saturday morning, it hit me. The stomach bug, flu or something like that. I woke up hurting (or aching) and thought I was just sore from moving. I ate lunch and was helping my Dad hook up the dryer when I made a mad dash for the bathroom. That was it for me. I was in bed, aching and sick to my stomach and that is the way I stayed for 4 days. Unfortunately, I hadn't moved any of my kitchen stuff so my parents brought me drinks and popsicles here and there. I did make it to the doctor Monday and was told I had a throat infection. Not sure about that but at least I got an antibiotic! What a way to break in my new house! I'm just glad I knew where most of my stuff was! So, I am officially back to normal, rested up and ready to begin organizing and decorating! Pictures to come soon!
