Leap Day

Today was a really weird day. I had to work from 7:45-1:00 today and one of my first customers was an 85 year old woman in one of our scooters. Well, I end up taking her out to what I thought would be her car…no, this woman was on a bike that had a little basket with a doggie in the back of it, so I had to load her groceries onto there. She was really nice and her dog was so cute. It’s always a good day when I get to pet a doggie, but it was just such a strange thing to happen that early in the morning.
 
Then, we were insanely slow today. For the Strawberry Festival starting tomorrow, it’s supposedly going to be busy for the next 11 days, I couldn’t believe how slow it was. There was even talk of letting people go home early, but they never did of course. Then, they’re remodeling our store I guess, so all day it smelled like paint in there, it was so strong and making people feel sick and then they cut off the AC so that made things even worse, I was definitely glad to be getting out of there at 1:00!
 
I also went to Subway for lunch and there’s one girl that works there that’s really nice and is starting to recognize me. She gave me a discount and a free cookie and said that she knows I always come in there and she knows I’m a good person. That was really nice of her.
 
Also, one of my last customers of the day was really rude/difficult. I hate that. I don’t understand why people are so mean, there’s no need for it. Customers just seemed weird today. And some of the employees were actually talking to me more, which was strange, but nice.
 
Also, I hardly got any sleep last night and I’ve been surprisingly awake today. I planed on coming home to take a nap today, but have yet to settle down since I’ve been home.
 
Oh! And I love my new phone, although, I think I’ve been on it WAY too much. I’m officially addicted to the game Words with Friends. So much fun.
 
Also, Davy Jones died today. =( He was only 66 years old, he died of a heart attack apparently. I love the Monkees, so it’s so sad to hear that. RIP Davy Jones!
 
 
What a weird leap day.

Today I finally started to feel better, which was good. I had a short day at work today and on the way back from my break I heard a Rolling Stones song which is always good.
 
 
Also, when I took a customer out to her car today, she asked me if I was in college and I said yes, I was working on my master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. It’s rare that anyone ever asks me anything, especially about school, at least at this store. When I was at my old store, people always talked to me and asked me questions, but not here, so that in itself was a refreshing change. Then, she told me that it would all work out and that it would all pay off someday and that I shouldn’t rush things. For some reason I felt better after hearing her say that. Somehow, a random stranger telling me this helped. I mean it’s kinda sad right now having my degree and bagging grocery’s for a little over minimum wage, but for some reason, right now, this is where I’m meant to be, this is what I’m meant to be doing. If I was meant to be somewhere else I would be, so for now this is my life, this is my job. I just keep reminding myself that I’m still in school as I continue my job search! I’m not giving up…not now, not ever.

Been sick in bed the past 2 days, even called off work today. Watching some of my favorite shows has helped some though. Watched Hart of Dixie today, it was a good one. :)

Here’s a quote that I really liked from the show…

“In real life you don’t always get to be with the person who makes your heart pound or your knees weak because that’s not real. You have to be with someone who you can make a life with, someone who is obtainable, someone you share something in common with, like bowling. Someone that’s always there for you, that’s real life. True love is a fantasy. Even if the other person isn’t everything that you thought you wanted, at least they’re real, at least they’re there and you have to make that work.”

Brad and I had a late Valentines date night tonight since we’ve both been sick and have been on opposite schedules. After I had school today we went to Sonny’s for dinner and then went and saw The Vow. It was cute, I liked it a lot, a little weird how it ended, but hey, it’s a true story, which I love.

Love these two. Great chemistry and Channing Tatum is a hottie! ;D

Oh! And I also got a new phone today! I finally got an android! :D So I’m finally up with the times! That’s exciting!

Despite my throat hurting today I feel good, happy even…because I realized just how much I have to be grateful for in this life. I have a wonderful family, great friends and an amazing boyfriend who takes care of me. Also, just looking through all my old photos…I’ve seen and done some amazing things and it’s definitely made me appreciate nature and how beautiful it all is, and made me realize that beauty’s all around us everyday. I saw some quotes recently that I liked and I’ll share them here…

That’s true. Happiness is a choice.

Very true. I have a lot of “adopted”" family, so I definitely know how that goes.

I definitely know this from experience.

Happy Valentines Day!

Even though it really wasn’t much of a Valentines for me. Brad had day shift and I had night shift, then on top of that he’s sick too, so we really didn’t get to see each other at all or do anything. =( I think we’re going to make up for it on Thursday though if he’s feeling better.

I guess my Valentines Day gift from Publix was that I got a free sub and I have no closing shifts next week, woohoo! Oh, and I found a dollar on the ground. It’s amazing to me how many people drop money, I find it all the time.

I saw this and thought it was cool…

Very pretty, even though I haven’t watched this movie in ages. It kind of makes me sad to watch it, so I don’t watch it very often. I just watched A Walk to Remember the other day, love that movie too.

I just got my Valentines gift a little bit ago from Brad, he was already in bed when I got home, but he left it for me in my computer chair.

I love it. <3

I got him some new Marlins stuff since they changed their name and logo, it’s not all here yet, but one thing did arrive  yesterday. I was hoping it would all get here by today, but such is life.

Horoscope Forecast for 2012

I just read my horoscope overview for 2012 and it looks hopeful. Some things are kind of freaky, but the rest sounds good, we’ll see if it happens now.
 
Overview:
 
Through early this June, opportunities come your way that enable you to grow and get to better know yourself.
 
I really hope some opportunities start coming my way.
 
 It’s also a period that emphasizes the importance of taking your health seriously and doing what you can to improve it.
 
That’s true. I have been more health conscious this year, more so than ever.
 
You can release stress by letting go of any tightly held goals that truly don’t serve your best interests.It will reveal which goals to pursue and which ones aren’t fruitful.
 
When Saturn moves into Scorpio and your 7th House of Partnership on October 5th, the spotlight is off work and turns to relationships. For the next two-plus years, this is the area that will require great attention.
 
I would be so happy to stop focusing so hard on work issues.
 
Love:
 
It could seem as if you’re wearing rose-colored glasses.
 
I do feel like I put my rose-colored glasses back on.
 
Your desire to be in a new relationship or strengthen an existing one comes to light on the Scorpio Full Moon on May 5th. Yet, try not to make any commitments to an existing or potential partner from May 15th through June 27th. This is when Venus is retrograde, a better time for re-assessing values than making lasting decisions.
 
Hmmm…interesting.
 
On August 15th and 16th, as Venus connects to powerful Pluto and eccentric Uranus, uncertainty shakes up your romantic life.
 
I wonder what’s going to happen.
 
Saturn moves into Scorpio the beginning of October. It ushers in a two-plus year period that calls you to take your relationships more seriously. It may feel like they are being put through the ringer as you see which ones truly serve you and which ones don’t.
 
Again, interesting.
 
Be honest about your needs and remember that great relationships do require work and effort.
 
Very true.
 
The Solar Eclipse on November 13th can inspire a new romance or initiate a fresh start in an existing one. Don’t be surprised if a chance encounter with another person changes your life path.
 
That’s freaky. I wonder who it’ll be…if it even happens at all.
 
Career:
 
Your career path should become much clearer after February.
 
I hope so.
 
It’s been a long-term period of confusion related to the type of work you want to pursue. At the same time, you’ve had visions into what a more soul-satisfying career could look like.
 
Very, very true! It’s freaky how true that is.
 
Beginning this year, you’ll be more squarely on your way to transforming your ideals into realities.
 
Again, I hope so.
 
Yet, taskmaster Saturn in your 6th House of Routines reminds you that it still takes hard work and diligence to attain your goals. Work pressure lifts in October when the planet of responsibility moves into Scorpio. If you apply the lessons you’ve learned about how to be organized and productive, you’ll reap rewards.
 
Yes, that would be fabulous.
 
A new phase takes root on May 20th during the Solar Eclipse.
 
I need a new phase.
 
You have opportunities to attract additional income into your life. Yet, it’s still very important to pay close attention when managing your money. You don’t want over-optimism to cause you to make investment decisions you’ll later regret. If boundaries around money aren’t clear, the Lunar Eclipse on November 28th can inspire tension. It’s a time of clarifying what belongs to you and what belongs to another.
 
The additional income sounds wonderful. I definitely do need it. I’ll have to remember that about the money thing though.

Valentines Post Secrets

I love the Valentines Post Secrets today.

I really hope that we have a lifetime of adventures together. :)

<3

I know how that goes, back when we were apart, I would do anything to make our time together last longer.

This one kind of makes me sad, but it’s kind of sweet though too, that they never really loved another person. There’s something unique and special about that.

That was true for me as well. When I wasn’t loving anyone I learned to love myself and that’s when I found true love, or it found me rather.

I love this one so much. I can’t even describe how much I love it.

I always think of my love on Sundays because we do spend a lot of Sundays apart to be with our families, but we’re always reunited on Sunday night to head back to the home that we’ve built together. :)
