I don't know why my house is so cold...but I'm freezing. The tea in my cup is too hot. I'm never satisfied.

Recently I had a really bad day. Not only did it just suck in general I realized that some co-workers dislike me. Younger than myself, and with no reason at all they don't like me.

I have a need to be liked by everyone. I think a lot of people feel the same way. I don't try and force it to happen but inside I'm wishing there wasn't the tension.

My first thought was "good, i don't like you either. you are rude, have an ugly heart (insert dramatic insult here)". But then I took a step back and a deep breath and knew that I truly don't believe those things. I want only good positive things for everyone. Whether they like me or not.

While I can't make them like me I will continue to be nice and show them that being kind goes a lot further than hating for no reason. Their dislike is only poisonous to them.

And I choose my happiness...

I Love Today...

I love today because...

It's Friday! No work or school until Monday :)

I'm in a cheerful mood...

Even though it's cloudy outside, I feel like it's sunny...

I'm heading back to Europe this summer!
Got the good news yesterday and couldn't be happier. Now for the next four or five months I'm going to have to save every dollar. Flights are so expensive(around thirteen hundred) and then money for food, souvenirs, and everything else. I'll be going to London(which I spent a week in last summer and fell in love), Kerry, Ireland, and drum roll please....

PARIS, FRANCE

Oh how I want to be there now. Last night as I was trying to fall asleep I pictured myself standing beneath the Eiffel Tower and got so excited. I can't wait!

My aunt lives in London and flew me over last year. That was so generous of her and now she wants me to come back. Although this time it's much more expensive for me. I'll be paying for the whole trip(which I don't mind one bit). I'll probably blog a lot more since I won't have money to go out with.

Happy Friday!

One Tribe

"One Tribe"-Black Eyed Peas

...One love, one blood, one people
One heart, one beat, we equal
Connected like the internet
United that's how we do
Let's break walls, so we see through
Let love and peace lead you
We could overcome the complication cause we need to
Help each other, make these changes
Brother, sister, rearrange this
The way I'm thinking that we can change this bad condition
Wait, use you mind and not your greed
Let's connect and then proceed
This is something I believe
We are one, we're all just people

And while we're on the subject....

Closet Shopping

Yesterday I got a jump start on my spring cleaning and spent the ENTIRE day cleaning. I am not even exaggerating. I've lived here almost a year and my room hasn't been this clean. Ever.

I've bagged up four grocery bags of clothing, accessories and puzzles that my sister kept in my closet. I need to clean out my desk and finish going through all of my wardrobe once my laundry is caught up.

I had planned on going to Wal-Mart(only because i had already been to Target twice) to get a bookcase, shoe rack and a picture frame for a piece of art I bought in London.

I told my Dad of my plans and he said that he had the shoe rack and bookcase in his closet. They weren't being used and I freed up space in his closet. And saved money!

Closet shopping is the best. It's like when I watch HGTV and they're remodeling a room on a small budget. They go into the basement and find all sorts of neat, forgotten things to use. Although, too many forgotten things leads to clutter and I'm working on eliminating that from my life.

the art on this page is by Francis Bacon. I bought a print of this at the Tate Modern Museum of Art in London over the summer. creepy isn't it?

While the sun is making it's grand entrance this morning, Sade is playing on my computer making for the perfect soundtrack.

I was listening to "Be That Easy" off of their new album, Soldier of Love, but couldn't find a widget for it.

So here's my next pick of the day.

On A Sunday

I learned...

That life is what you make it.

Anything is possible...

That folding towels makes sublimely happy...

I have the best father in the entire world...

A furry companion can brighten your day with swish of their tail...

Organizing and cleaning my room was the best idea I had all day...

Sunny weather really makes me happy...

p.s. I can't wait for summer.

Feels Like Love

I think...

You should watch:

"Away We Go"

And then buy the soundtrack.

So beautiful

It feels like love.
