I love the smell of slow cooking onion and garlic..mmm..
Making an old fashioned pot roast for our dinner guest tonight. It'll cook itself while I'm at work.
Crud, gotta go to work.. :-(

"I can understand
how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one


I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
when I start to make you nervous
and I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing
...
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way"

My new red leather boots! Yeah baby!

Finally off work. Headed to Wimberley for Market Days. Beautiful day!!

some awesome favorites for today..

Had a fabulous day. Visited with a friend, lunch with Josh at Potbellys, and shopping with the 2 most awesomest teens on the planet.
I should have more of these days off... like maybe 30 or so a month?!

A day off work!!
And so much to do..
How does one choose?

Well I'm back on the job hunt again. I told my boss I would be leaving sometime in the near future. I hated having to tell him that because I really like him. He's a great guy. But I really don't think this was a good fit. he wasn't surprised at all. He said he knew it was a 50/50 chance that I would like it but he was hoping for the best. It's just too black and white and all about rules, regulations, and corporate crap. Nothing is done at the local branches. Working most saturdays sucks. And the scheduling time off ordeal is a deal breaker. I have to know right now when I'm taking a few days off in 2010?! And only a few days at a time..totaling one week?! Right. Not going to happen. I plan to go to Ethiopia, Africa at least once, plus any trips at church I can get on. Then we have girls trips, family vacations, impromptu Shileen needs to get out of town trips, etc.. The whole spontaneity thing.. hello?? What was I thinking? Thinking I needed to change. But one can't simply flip ones self over onto their head and expect to perform excellently upside down. This is as left brained a job as you can get with no option of leaving town. And I thought I could pull it off? I guess I wanted whatever was opposite of me.
So if you know of anything part time, FLEXIBLE scheduling, maybe even contract style job, send it my way...
I'll still be at the bank for november,and part of december probably unless I find something else sooner..
Gotta go get dressed for lunch with my long lost traveling girlfriend Rene at Mama Fu's in GT..
then for the dreaded four letter word..((work))

I am strong because I am weak. I am beautiful because I know my flaws. I am a lover because I am a fighter. I am fearless because I have been afraid. I am wise because I have been foolish. And I can laugh because I've known sadness.

I have a new fave sandwich shop. Potbelly at the Arbor Walk. Love the skinny bread and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Yum.

Happy sweet sixteen to my beautiful first born.

The open water
chills me to my bones,
but it's the only place that I feel alive.
The ocean floor
begins to disappear;
I sense that terrible depth.
The open water
is my only fear,
but I'll sail as long as I still have breath in me.

I'm starting to
believe the ocean's
much like you,
because it gives
and it takes away.
