Flames to dust...

Music: "All Good Things" - Nelly Furtado

I swore I wouldn't go again without posting (gee, where have I heard THAT one before), but once again, time just got away from me and just when it seems I have my life in order, the good Lord throws me another curve ball.

After getting set up to finally move out (what would be this month, now), I was dealt a serious blow in August. Nothing I can't get away from or make better, but now I'm re-thinking some huge aspects of my life. I'm keeping all options open at this point, and just letting things happen as they come. No telling where I'll end up at this point, but anything is fair game right now. 

Things with my boyfriend are going good as they can be, although his current living situation is stressing out both of us. We have next to no privacy, what with all his 25 roommates running around (okay, it's not really 25, but it feels like that sometimes). They're younger, and like to go out and spend all night at the bar, and come home at all hours, being loud and obnoxious. I can't take it. I'm almost 31 and have all but gotten that out of my system. It's very frustrating. Maybe it's a true sign that I'm getting old. I'm looking forward to the day where we can have total freedom. It will be nice! But no matter what happens, he knows he has my total support.  Relationships are a lot of work, but worth it! I'm still learning from him everyday, and it's helping me to grow in so many ways. 

I also just learned today that my best friend lost both her parents back in August. I loved them like my own, so it came as a total shock. I'm very saddened by the news, but I know they're both in a better place. I'll never forget her mom, or how funny her dad was whenever I'd crash at their place. Those memories I'll always keep with me. I'll love you always Mom and Dad Taylor, and will never forget you. 

And some positive news (because this blog can't be all negative or it'd be depressing), it's finally Fall, which means more Pumpkin flavored food that I can't ever get enough of, cooler weather, and do we have to talk birthdays? I thought once you'd turned 30, you got to stay 30. Forever. Well, I'll be 31 next Sunday. Hard to believe because I never got over the shock of being 30, much less 31. So I decided to keep it a quiet one this year, after the big blow-out, weekend-long celebration I had last year. I didn't bother with requesting the day off, nor have I thought about cakes, or anything else on that matter. I'll be celebrating officially on the day after, when I'm not at work. Going to spend it with family and my boyfriend. I bought my own present, an upgraded iPod touch, so I can read books and listen to music while at work. I'm going to sell my old one. 

And I'll be honest, I love posting and writing, because it helps clear my mind and get things off my chest. I don't do it to have a fan base of millions, but for my own personal enjoyment and happiness. I can't promise how often I'll post, but how about when the right mood/time hits, and leave it at that. Until next time....

Random thought/fact of the day: I'm in love with Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon, and want to know how to get my own fire-breathing Toothless. Is that weird?
