Thankfulness-ish
I used to make long lengthy lists of things during my week or day that made me happy. Here is my list as of late:
1. I like reading about people via their blogs. (both people I know AND dont know)
2. I love my dogs...even though they're little monsters sometimes.
3. RED CUP SEASON!! It may still be 95 degrees here in Phoenix, but that little red starbucks cup still makes me excited for the holiday season.
4. My fella, whose wit makes our house a happy place full of laughter always.(even when he wakes me up at 2am eating crackers in our bed)
5. I love my beautiful blueberry truck-ish that the fella gave me.
6. Even though I dont get to see them very often, I have some of the most amazing people as friends. As soon as I get a little more settled, I promise to see all of you more often.
7. Pumpkin pie.
8. Books. Now that I'm out of school I finally have time to read again! Barnes and Noble and the library have becomemy new favorite places.
9. Snail mail. I still love getting letters. SEND me some! (-:
10. Coffee. My never ending obsession. Now and forever.
ok. Enough for now. Happy weekend, everyone!
love love love.

Oh Captain, I'm Captain...
SO, as much as I hate to say it, I am job hunting again. This job is killing my soul and I see no good happening (more the opposite, in fact)not to mention I now have to pay out of my own pocket for the gas used while I am working. (bitter? maybe.)
I watched a movie today that was really inspiring and reminded me why I went back to school to begin with. I wanted to work for a non-prof when I got out of ASU and then the end game was law school, since I have always been very social-justice minded. I am now working for what might as well be a government program, and it is pretty disheartening. If nothing else from this job, I have learned that government social programs will always be necessary, but are rarely adequate. I think the non-profs are the only organizations that are making a real difference, so that's the place to be.
My struggle is deciding where I fit in. I am drawn to justice. I long to speak for those who are unable to speak for themselves. But it seems doing it for a daily 9-5er robs the task of all its passion. And there's the rub...
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
-William Ernest Henley
I have some serious decisions to make, and am hoping that the Guidence that has always shown its will for my life will make that will known again...
love love love.

Stand and report-
The morning started off very groggy, with Maggie (our 5 month old puppy) crying from her kennel. I stumbled to the back to let her out and fell back into bed for a while. (literally fell-banged my knee on the bed...thats going to be a bruise)
Spencer is taking a short road trip today to drop Murphy (our 1.5 year old Brittany bird dog) off with a dog trainer who is also going to take our Murph on a nation widde tour for 3 months to compete with other bird dogs on thing like who can "Whoa" or find quial the best. Murph is about to have the time of his life, but Spencer is a little heart broken to have his best friend gone for so long.
Spence wanted to get a haircut this morning before meeting the trainer, so I dropped him off while I went to get coffee. (those of you who follow my Facebook know this snippit already) I walked up to the counter and was confused when the girl at Starbucks checked out my rack. Then I looked down and realized my V-neck shirt had swooped to the side and my NEON pink, leopard print bra was fully exposed. It is safe to say that Starbucks and I are now intimate.
There will be more soon, including reasons why I am going nuts at my job and info about an upcoming Fashion SHOW that is going to be worth checking out, but for now I have to be off to work.
love love love.
(and flashing entire stores)

Note to self:
Do NOT buy wine simply because the label is pretty, or it has a cute name. Turns out, theres usually a reason for the flashy wit...it's covering up an awful taste.
blech.

conversations with me...
Was lucky enough to get to go to Crissy and Meghan's for a Labor Day BBq yesterday. It was so fun, they have a beautiful home and lovely friends and I learned 2 things.
1. How to play Ladder Golf. Check it out!
2. I am sometimes a terrible conversationalist. I am very comfortable in silences, and I forget that most people are not. I was sitting at the table, eating some delicious grilled veggies, and pondering over the fact that I used to despise Eggplant when I looked up and realized no one had spoken in quite a few minutes. I felt as though I had dropped the ball while having a lengthy ineer monologue about the pros and cons of eggplant. Whoops!
love love love.
(and witty conversations?)
